Deep learning algorithms are prone to a previously unknown problem, say a team of computer scientists at Google.
The question of what the Big Bang really represented still bamboozles cosmologists — and Hawking provided more than one answer.

A new method enables 2D-material semiconductor transistors to be directly integrated onto a fully fabricated 8-inch silicon wafer, which could enable a new generation of transistor technology, denser device integration, new circuit architectures, and more powerful chips.

How does the mind interact with the body? Six philosophers take a swing at answering the mind-body problem.
As the USGS-operated Landsat 9 Earth observation satellite passed above Greenland on Monday, March 13, 2023, its photosensors trained on the frozen landscape below it detected something unusual: a mysterious series of tracks scoring the icy surface of a remote fjord.
It was a curious sight on Earth’s largest island, whose most defining features are barren tundra and monumental glaciers that cover most of its surface. The imposing natural conditions in Greenland, in other words, leave little room for signs of activity visible from space.
Yet something must have caused the unusual tracks scoring the Tunulliarfik Fjord that appeared in the imagery collected by Landsat 9 in March. What had been their source? Could their underlying cause have been natural, and if so, then what conditions might be responsible?
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake believes that memory is inherent to nature, and has spent the last forty years of his career investigating slippery, esoteric phenomena at the very edges of empiricism. Some of the results are intriguing — dogs that know when their owners have started the long journey home, crosswords that become easier to solve a few days after they’ve been published in the papers, IQ scores increase generation after generation. His work is ongoing, the territory marginal, and the implications immense.

A topological insulator, Bi2Te3, has been found to have spatially indirect spin-polarized excitonic states, opening the prospect of combining exciton and topological physics.
Neuroscientists and archeologists have wrestled with the Sapient Paradox for decades. Can collective learning be the solution?
A few days after OpenAI announced a set of privacy controls for its generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT, the service has been made available again to users in Italy — resolving (for now) an early regulatory suspension in one of the European Union’s 27 Member States, even as a local probe of its compliance with the region’s data protection rules continues.
At the time of writing, web users browsing to ChatGPT from an Italian IP address are no longer greeted by a notification instructing them the service is “disabled for users in Italy”. Instead they are met by a note saying OpenAI is “pleased to resume offering ChatGPT in Italy”.
The pop-up goes on to stipulate that users must confirm they are 18+ or 13+ with consent from a parent or guardian to use the service — by clicking on a button stating “I meet OpenAI’s age requirements”.
