BREAKING: South Africa has become the first African country — and our medicines regulator the third worldwide — to register the revolutionary twice-a-year anti-HIV jab, lenacapavir (LEN). The shot could bring an end to Aids if enough people take it.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

What kind of hostage situation is this.
This is my first in-the-wild encounter with a meeting AI assistant. If someone does not agree to the privacy policy, shouldn't the AI tool be disabled instead of requiring attendees to leave?

I'm excited to see how well this model performs, but I'm more interested in the details of "the training data [being] transparent and reproducible".
A milestone for open AI: ETH Zurich and EPFL will release a fully open multilingual language model, trained on CSCS’s “Alps” supercomputer. Built for the public good, this model promotes transparency, inclusion, and innovation.

Efficient calculation of Green's functions on quantum computers via simultaneous circuit perturbation
We propose a novel, ancilla-free algorithm to compute Retarded Green's Functions (RGFs) on quantum computers. Our proposal is based on real-time evolution and specifically designed circuit components,...

Here's some nice news! The South African government can't go ahead with new coal power plants, as they were "ominously silent" on how they would impact "the environment and health of the nation, in particular that of children"!

‘Cancel Coal’ case victory: Mantashe’s plans ruled unconstitutional
In a landmark ruling that saw young environmental activists triumph, the high court has overturned the government’s plans to add 1,500MW of new coal-fired power to the national grid, saying they are ‘...
