New prediction model could improve the reliability of fusion power plants
Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to contain a plasma hotter than the sun’s core and push the plasma’s atoms to fuse and release energy. If tokamaks can operate safely and efficiently, the machines could one day provide clean and limitless fusion energy. Today, there are a number of experimental tokamaks in operation around the world, with more underway. Most are small-scale research […]

Australia’s Under 16 Social Media Ban: A Warning for Online Speech and Security Around the World
David Inserra As of December 10, Australia will implement sweeping restrictions on access to social media for individuals under 16. Hailed as the first of its kind, Australia’s Parliament passed a law in 2024 banning individuals under 16 from having accounts on major social media platforms and requiring these platforms to verify the age of everyone logging in. The law’s initial list of restricted platforms includes Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, Threads, Kick, Threads, and Twitch. Other platforms, […]

Teaching robots to map large environments
A robot searching for workers trapped in a partially collapsed mine shaft must rapidly generate a map of the scene and identify its location within that scene as it navigates the treacherous terrain. Researchers have recently started building powerful machine-learning models to perform this complex task using only images from the robot’s onboard cameras, but even the best models can only process a few images at a time. In a real-world disaster where every second counts, a search-and-rescue […]

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 […]

Quotation of the Day…
Tweet … is from page 130 of Norbert Michel’s superb and data-rich 2025 book, Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies are Threatening the American Dream: Regardless of the politics, the evidence simply does not connect widespread economic difficulties to “trade with China” or competition with “cheap labor.” The evidence also fails to support the widely repeated claim that the typical American worker’s real wages have not budged in decades. Although there is no single “right” way to measure income […]
