Job displacement is a serious issue everywhere, but professional computer science majors should get ready for a tightening of the belt in their field.

A Semafor article published this month, written by Reed Albergotti, shows how Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, is enthusiastic about cutting the firm’s workforce in half, while boosting revenue something like 500% on the back of agenticAI.

Replit’s new tool can reportedly “write a working software application with nothing but a natural language prompt” and that’s going to usher in a new renaissance in computing, while costing some careerists their jobs.

Deep below the surface of our world, far beyond our feeble reach, enigmatic processes grind and roil.

Every now and then, the Earth disgorges clues to their nature: tiny chthonic diamonds encasing skerricks of rare mineral. From these tiny fragments we can glean tidbits of information about our planet’s interior.

A diamond unearthed in a diamond mine in Botswana is just such a stone. It’s riddled with flaws containing traces of ringwoodite, ferropericlase, enstatite, and other minerals that suggest the diamond formed 660 kilometers (410 miles) below Earth’s surface.

Believe it or not, humans emit a faint glow all the time—it’s just invisible to the naked eye. This isn’t science fiction; it’s biology at work.

Cosmic voids, which act as bubbles in the cosmic web, help us read the universe better.

Cosmic voids are regions of space that are almost empty, except for a few galaxies and dark matter. But what do they tell us about the universe?

How Symmetry Shapes the Universe: A Peek into Persistent Symmetry Breaking.

Imagine a world where certain symmetries—like the balance between left and right or up and down—are spontaneously disrupted, but this disruption persists regardless of temperature. Scientists are exploring this fascinating behavior in a special type of mathematical framework known as biconical vector models. These models examine how symmetries behave under specific conditions, especially in a universe with two spatial dimensions and one time dimension (2+1 dimensions).

This study takes a closer look at these models and reveals exciting new insights about symmetry breaking in a way that respects established physical principles. Here’s what the researchers discovered:

Eliza evolves into a lifelike AI robot, offering emotional intelligence, human-like companionship, and interactive engagement for $420,000.

Nemourlon armor of reasonable weight resists penetration by most fragments and any bullet that is not both reasonably heavy and fairly high-velocity.’ — Jerry Pournelle, 1976.

Goldene — A Two-Dimensional Sheet Of Gold One Atom Thick ‘Hasan always pitched a Gauzy — a one-molecule-layer tent, opaque, feather-light, and very tough.’ — Roger Zelazny, 1966.

GNoME AI From DeepMind Invents Millions Of New Materials ‘…the legendary creativity of our finest human authors pales against the mathematical indefatigability of GNoME.’

Beneath the sandstone floor of a French rock shelter lies a stunning artifact—what could be the world’s oldest 3D map. Its intricate carvings model water flows, valleys, and lakes in ways that defy expectations of Paleolithic capabilities. But how did early humans achieve such precision? And what mysteries do the map’s symbols still hold?

In the fascinating intersection of quantum computing and the human experience of time, lies a groundbreaking theory that challenges our conventional narratives: the D-Theory of Time. This theory proposes a revolutionary perspective on time not as fundamental but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the quantum mechanical fabric of the universe.

“In a sense, Nature has been continually computing the ‘next state’ of the Universe for billions of years; all we have to do — and actually all we can do — is ‘hitch a ride’ on this huge ongoing [quantum] computation.” — Tommaso Toffoli
