Man Applies for Job, Sits for Interview, Then Realizes They're Trying to Peddle "Mock Interviews With an AI Interviewer"

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-24 00:08:46

When a job seeker named Conor recently applied for a content architecture position, something felt off right away. For one thing, he got an offer for a virtual job interview just minutes after he applied, which seemed like a suspiciously quick turnaround time in today's beleaguered job market. Was there any way that a human had actually reviewed his application? And when he logged in for the interview, he immediately realized he was talking to an AI system, not a human. It wasn't the first tim

This Giant Subterranean Neutrino Detector Is Taking On the Mysteries of Physics

wired.com Sandro Iannaccone 2025-09-24 17:30:00

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will last for decades. This is Juno, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, a new, large-scale experiment studying some of the most mysterious and elusive particles known to science. Neutrinos are the most abundant particles in the universe with mass. They are fundamental particles, meaning they d

Ozempic May Be Less Effective for Emotional Eaters, Study Suggests

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-24 16:00:33

GLP-1 agonists—so-called “wonder drugs” like Ozempic or Wegovy that help individuals lower blood sugar levels and lose weight, among other things—yield significant results for some patients, but not all. People’s motivations to overeat may play a role in this, according to a new study. To investigate why some people don’t benefit from GLP-1 agonists as much as others, researchers observed 92 participants with type 2 diabetes in Japan during their first year of taking GLP-1 drugs.

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-09-25 02:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

‘Chain Reactions’ Deftly Contextualizes a Grisly American Classic

As Hollywood scraps over who’ll be the next to take a bite out of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a new documentary is here to remind us just how much Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original stands alone. Chain Reactions follows the elegant, thoughtful style of director Alexandre O.
