Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-24 20:13:42

Chevron’s stock declined sharply this week before paring back losses, as mounting concerns about volatility in the global oil markets spooked traders. Another group of worried market watchers? Tech companies, big and small. Casual observers sometimes wonder why technology stocks—often seen as disconnected from the oil industry—sometimes react sharply to oil price movements and related news. But the two sectors are much more connected than you might realize. That link largely stems from the br

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-24 14:00:37

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

A 20-Year-Old Algorithm Can Help Us Understand Transformer Embeddings

news.ycombinator.com A Href 2025-10-20 22:08:43

Suppose we ask an LLM: “Can you tell me about Java?” What “Java” is the model thinking about? The programming language or the Indonesian island? To answer this question, we can try to understand what is going on inside the model. Specifically, we want to represent the model’s internal states in a human-interpretable way by finding the concepts that the model is thinking about. One approach to this problem is to phrase it as a dictionary learning problem, in which we try to decompose complex emb

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

news.ycombinator.com Craig Gidney 2025-10-24 16:14:26

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real

These Newly Discovered Cells Breathe in Two Ways

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and create hydrogen sulfide as a product. Yet while the cells were technically alive in this state, they didn’t grow or replicate. They were making a sm

Menu Multi-Timer Gizmo My friend, Dave Gauer, built a “multitimer” back in 2021. It is a small desktop gizmo for keeping track of time spent on rapidly switching tasks. One pushes a button and time starts accumulating on that button’s timer. Dave’s multi-timer is based on a RaspberryPi Pico — fancy micro-computer stuff. In fact, his unit has three distinct microcontrollers in it: the keypad and LCD each have their own! Did an academic already do this? Thinking about Dave’s multi-timer, I was

Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act
