Every agent tool stores memory in its own shape, and every week someone builds another one. None of them can read the others. Observability had the same problem until OpenTelemetry gave everyone one data model to share. A tour of today's memory formats, the proposals that already exist, and what a shared spec could…
Faster, more secure connections from space could one day make broadband on planes, ships and even remote roads as easy as turning on a light. The European Space Agency (ESA), Airbus Defence and Space, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and German payload manufacturer TESAT (as…
We built Un-0, an image generator powered by a simulated system of coupled oscillators, an example of an emerging physical computing substrate. On ImageNet 64×64 it reaches FID 6.74, matching the quality of leading conventional image generation methods when they were first published. Weights, training, and ablation…
A decade ago this summer, at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Jocelyn Malamy watched jellyfish cells “walk” toward each other to close a wound for the first time. An associate professor in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago, Malamy had received transparent, dime-sized medusae of the…
A new European Southern Observatory (ESO) study has found that current proposals to launch over 1.7 million satellites into orbit, including extremely bright ones, would have “devastating consequences for astronomy.” According to the study, no more than 100 000 faint satellites, below naked eye visibility, should…
