New AI system could accelerate clinical research
Annotating regions of interest in medical images, a process known as segmentation, is often one of the first steps clinical researchers take when running a new study involving biomedical images. For instance, to determine how the size of the brain’s hippocampus changes as patients age, the scientist first outlines each hippocampus in a series of brain scans. For many structures and image types, this is often a manual process that can be extremely time-consuming, especially if the regions […]

The Middle Class is Shrinking — And That’s a Good Thing
An important goal of Marxist thought is the proletarianization of the middle class — to convince great numbers of people in the office worker and shopkeeper classes that they are not beneficiaries of a rising tide of success but are no better than coal shovelers in a boiler room, victims of capitalist oppression that need to join the revolution. It is impossible to view the recent mayoral election in NYC as anything but a sign of their success. […]

A Surveillance Mandate Disguised As Child Safety: Why the GUARD Act Won’t Keep Us Safe
A new bill sponsored by Sen. Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Britt (R-AL), Sen. Warner (D-VA), and Sen. Murphy (D-CT) would require AI chatbots to verify all users’ ages, prohibit minors from using AI tools, and implement steep criminal penalties for chatbots that promote or solicit certain harms. That might sound reasonable at first, but behind those talking points lies a sprawling surveillance and censorship regime that would reshape how people of all ages use the internet. […]

Washington Court Rules That Data Captured on Flock Safety Cameras Are Public Records
A Washington state trial court has shot down local municipalities’ effort to keep automated license plate reader (ALPR) data secret. The Skagit County Superior Court in Washington rejected the attempt to block the public’s right to access data gathered by Flock Safety cameras, protecting access to information under the Washington Public Records Act (PRA). Importantly, the ruling from the court makes it clear that this access is protected even when a Washington city uses Flock Safety, a third-party […]

Central Planning Spent Hundreds of Billions. Students Got Almost Nothing.
For fifty years we have been told that the answer to every problem in education is more money. More programs. More funding. More government “investment.” But when you look at the actual data instead of the political slogans, the picture is brutal. This chart shows inflation adjusted per pupil spending exploding by nearly two hundred percent since the 1970s. Taxpayers are pouring record amounts of money into the system. Meanwhile, student performance on the NAEP Long Term Trend […]
