AI Plays Battleship to Improve Scientific Discovery and Smarter Research Decisions

Artificial intelligence is often presented as a future engine of scientific discovery. The idea is appealing: AI systems could help researchers generate hypotheses, choose experiments, analyze data, run simulations, and identify patterns that humans might miss. But before AI can reliably help science move faster, it needs to become better…

Andrej Karpathy, Code Agents, and the New Skill of Managing AI Loops

Software engineering is starting to feel less like writing code line by line and more like directing a swarm of semi-autonomous workers. That is one of the most interesting ideas from Andrej Karpathy’s conversation on No Priors, where he described the sudden shift from traditional coding to working with AI…

Sleep Deprivation May Push the Brain Into Brief Sleep-Like States While Awake
