(WVVA) - Mercer County Public Schools is highlighting two local educators who are helping strengthen math instruction across the state as Math Teacher Leaders in the Mountaineer Mathematics Master Teachers program (M3T). Jessica Thomas of Bluefield High School and…...

3+ hour, 54+ min ago   (734+ words) Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence system that mimics the "wisdom of crowds" by generating diverse yet consistent responses from a single set of core parameters, leading to improved performance and more varied outputs in tasks such as text…...

4+ hour, 15+ min ago   (706+ words) Researchers demonstrate that diffusion language models, enhanced with techniques allowing modification of generated text, can efficiently mimic any parallel sampling method with optimal speed and memory usage, theoretically establishing their potential as the fastest way to generate text. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-2026-01-07T111635.620.jpg Diffusion…...

4+ hour, 21+ min ago   (648+ words) Researchers have developed a new method for efficiently identifying the most helpful collaborators in complex tasks, such as machine learning and distributed computing, by leveraging shared information and improving the speed with which optimal teams can be assembled. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-2026-01-07T111525.065.jpg Identifying…...

4+ hour, 49+ min ago   (564+ words) Welcome back! In Part 1, we built the foundation of our deep learning library babygrad: Now, it's time to implement automatic differentiation, the core of deep learning. This is what allows libraries like PyTorch to compute gradients automatically so we can…...

5+ hour, 32+ min ago   (1785+ words) This is a piece that presents my thoughts on the recent work on introspection in LLMs. The results of recent experiments are very suggestive, but I think we're somewhat primed to read too much into them. This presents some reasons…...

5+ hour, 39+ min ago   (229+ words) Modern operations by both conventional and special forces have increasingly involved biometric data collection from various sources. For years, military teams have utilized diverse systems to extract biometric information from both allies and adversaries during the Global War on Terror....

5+ hour, 42+ min ago   (635+ words) When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part of the back-and-forth that allows us to understand each other's emotions and mental states. Faces are so important…...
