New data highlights the race to build more empathetic language models

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2026-03-18 03:03:01

Measuring AI progress has usually meant testing scientific knowledge or logical reasoning – but while the major benchmarks still focus on left-brain logic skills, there’s been a quiet push within AI companies to make models more emotionally intelligent. As foundation models compete on soft measures like user preference and “feeling the AGI,” having a good command of human emotions may be more important than hard analytic skills. One sign of that focus came on Friday, when prominent open-source

"Danger. Speed bump growing zone." Bumpy Road The summer's first heatwave has been so intense in the United States that an asphalt road buckled so suddenly that an oncoming car went airborne in Missouri, all captured in a now-viral video.

Biocide overdose blunder suspected in A321 dual-engine incident

UK investigators probing a serious dual engine problem on a departing Airbus A321 have discovered its fuel system had previously been overdosed with biocide, after a maintenance engineer misunderstood a measurement term. The engineer was confused by the term ‘ppm’ – meaning ‘parts per million’ – while conducting a biocidal shock treatment of the Titan Airways A321’s fuel tanks, as the jet neared the end of a month-long maintenance check.

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-18 04:58:11

§Subsecond: Hot-patching for Rust Subsecond is a library that enables hot-patching for Rust applications. This allows you to change the code of a running application without restarting it. This is useful for game engines, servers, and other long-running applications where the typical edit-compile-run cycle is too slow. Subsecond also implements a technique we call “ThinLinking” which makes compiling Rust code significantly faster in development mode, which can be used outside of hot-patching.

The Economics Behind "Basic Economy" – A Masterclass in Price Discrimination

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way.
