How artificial intelligence can help achieve a clean energy future
There is growing attention on the links between artificial intelligence and increased energy demands. But while the power-hungry data centers being built to support AI could potentially stress electricity grids, increase customer prices and service interruptions, and generally slow the transition to clean energy, the use of artificial intelligence can also help the energy transition. For example, use of AI is reducing energy consumption and associated emissions in buildings, transportation, and industrial processes. In addition, AI is helping […]
Avalon Is Thanksgiving for America
Barry Levinson was one of the most successful directors in America around 1990, when he made Avalon, an immigrant Thanksgiving movie trying to sum up the transformation of the American family in the 20th century. Continue Reading…

Cato Scholar: Stop Treating Jury Independence as a Defect
A 65-year-old retired doorman in Queens is heading to prison next month — not for killing his attacker in self-defense, but for possessing the unlicensed firearm that saved his life. lead , In a recent op-ed titled He Held the Door for Years, But the Court Slammed One on Him, Cato scholar Mike Fox details how American juries have strayed from the founders’ intent of being the community’s conscience, in part writing: , “We have replaced community conscience with […]

Meta’s upcoming ‘Avocado’ AI model could be a part of effort to rebalance its open-source vision
Key Highlights: Meta is among the few tech giants that advocate open-source AI (like its Llama models) for innovation, security through community testing, cost-effectiveness for businesses, and preventing gatekeeping. But it seems Meta has realized the future with open-source AI isn’t worth it, as that goodwill won’t pay the bills for its $600 billion investment pledge in the US infrastructure. Meta is reportedly working on a “closed” model, codenamed “Avocado” Well, this comes after disappointment around Meta’s recent […]

A Coding Implementation of a Complete Hierarchical Bayesian Regression Workflow in NumPyro Using JAX-Powered Inference and Posterior Predictive Analysis
In this tutorial, we explore hierarchical Bayesian regression with NumPyro and walk through the entire workflow in a structured manner. We start by generating synthetic data, then we define a probabilistic model that captures both global patterns and group-level variations. Through each snippet, we set up inference using NUTS, analyze posterior distributions, and perform posterior predictive checks to understand how well our model captures the underlying structure. By approaching the tutorial step by step, we build an intuitive […]
