Edd Gent in Singularity Hub: Despite their usefulness, large language models still have a reliability problem. A new study shows that a team of AIs working together can score up to 97 percent on US medical licensing exams, outperforming any single AI. While recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has led to systems capable of passing professional…| 3 Quarks Daily
From Nature: The mission with cancer therapy is clear: eradicate as many tumour cells as possible. Traditional chemotherapy remains a mainstay, where patients are dosed with potent compounds that disrupt essential cellular functions, preventing tumour cells from proliferating and ultimately forcing them to self-destruct. However, new findings1 from a team led by Hongbo Gao and Keith Syson Chan…| 3 Quarks Daily
Francesca Bria in Noema: Geopolitical power once flowed through armies and treaties, but today it courses through silicon wafers, server farms and algorithmic systems. These invisible digital infrastructures and architectures shape every aspect of modern life. “The Stack” — interlocking layers of hardware, software, networks and data — has become the operating system of modern…| 3 Quarks Daily
Branko Milanovic over at his substack Global Inequality and More 3.0: Why did neoliberalism, in its domestic and international components, fail? I ask this question, in much more detail than I can do it in a short essay here, in my forthcoming The Great Global Transformation: National Market Liberalism in a Multipolar World. I am asking it…| 3 Quarks Daily
Lily Lynch in Jacobin: Earlier this summer, an Albanian friend in Istanbul told me a story. During the Cold War, Albanians fleeing Enver Hoxha’s People’s Socialist Republic of Albania would cross Lake Shkodra in boats. If they were lucky, and they weren’t captured by government patrol, drowned, or shot by guards, they would disembark on…| 3 Quarks Daily
From The Washington Post: The clues that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s nearly 20-year marriage was cracking up were everywhere, according to an internet full of sleuths. You could tell when Urban refused to talk about the actress in a newspaper interview last September, a full year before Kidman filed to divorce him. Or that time…| 3 Quarks Daily

Paul Reitter in The Hedgehog Review: When I taught German in graduate school back in the late 1990s, my fellow instructors and I often used a line from Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial to illustrate a point about grammar that was also a point about untranslatability.1 In German, as in English, the regular subjunctive form goes mainly with wishes,…| 3 Quarks Daily
Masha Hamilton at Atavist: The sky is dark. The highway hums beneath our tires. We’ve covered a lot of miles today, and the night is pressing us off the road, toward a Virginia rest stop where, years ago, a man was murdered in a bathroom. I want to see the door he pushed open, stand…| 3 Quarks Daily
Aimee Pugh Bernard in The Conversation: Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, defending you from thousands of pathogens that cause disease while sparing your body’s own healthy cells. This careful equilibrium is so seamless that most people don’t think about it until something goes wrong. Autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes, lupus…| 3 Quarks Daily

Ed Simon at the European Review of Books: Around five thousand years ago, along the northern bank of the Black Sea where the soil was rich and feather grass plentiful, the nomadic Yamnaya people sang songs about the heroes who slayed dragons. A warrior named Trito is given cattle by the gods, but this most…| 3 Quarks Daily
Noah Smith at Noahpinion: A few years ago, it looked as if the U.S. and China might battle over global hegemony and preeminence. But this looks less likely now, thanks to America’s own behavior. Under Trump 2.0, the U.S. has alienated many of the key allies it would have needed in order to match China’s market size…| 3 Quarks Daily
Violeta Ruiz at Aeon Magazine: On 25 November 1915, the American newspaper The Review published the extraordinary case of an 11-year-old boy with prodigious mathematical abilities. Perched on a hill close to a set of railroad tracks, he could memorise all the numbers of the train carriages that sped by at 30 mph, add them up, and provide the…| 3 Quarks Daily

Facilitating a tarot workshop is daunting and exciting in equal measures. It's always good to share something so close to my heart and in presenting my personal take on the Tarot, I'm also sharing a large part of my own inner journey. That said, it's also nerve wracking to stand in front of a group of potential strangers in the hope that what you have to offer will be worthwhile to them. | Sacred Tarot
