futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-06 21:11:13

Just a few months into Meta's multi-billion-dollar AI moonshot, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is already shaking up his "Superintelligence Lab" — and some of its longtime leaders are leaving amid the chaos. As the New York Times reports based on insider sources, Meta has announced internally that it will be splitting its AI division into four separate groups: one focused on research, one on so-called "superintelligence," one on products, and another on infrastructure.

How I Made Ruby Faster Than Ruby

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-05 14:22:22

How I Made Ruby Faster than Ruby If you’re a Ruby programmer, you most probably will be familiar ERB templates and the distinctive syntax where you mix normal HTML with snippets of Ruby for embedding dynamic values in HTML. I wrote recently about P2, a new HTML templating library for Ruby, where HTML is expressed using plain Ruby. Now this is nothing new or even unique. There’s a lot of other Ruby gems that allow you to do that: Phlex, (my own) Papercraft and Ruby2html come to mind. What is d

Why Pooping on Planes Might Actually Be a Good Thing

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-09 11:55:19

Researchers have developed a new critical warning system for the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) superbugs: poop and pee from airplane bathrooms. Scientists predict that by 2050, AMR superbugs, or pathogens that don’t respond to antimicrobial medicines, might take more lives than cancer. As such, it’s critical for countries to keep an eye on the global propagation of these dangerous pathogens, which can travel with people, in order to best prepare for future infections.
