The Universal Postal Union's S10 standard, in all its glory Have you ever received a parcel from overseas? I did recently, from Switzerland! Looking at the envelope, I realised the format of the tracking number ( UT038926726CH ) was in a very similar (if not identical) format to ones I'd used frequently here in the UK. I'd been receiving emails from Royal Mail about the parcel, so I just presumed that there was some data-sharing agreement in place with Swiss Post and Royal Mail had just given

Experimental retina implants give mice infrared vision

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-17 23:08:21

Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the leading cause of vision impairments, including blindness. However, a team of scientists at China’s Fudan University has recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace the failing photoreceptors and potentially provide infrared vision as a bonus. Sadly, they’ve only been tested in animals,

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking.

After 20 years, math couple solves major group theory problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-11-10 20:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.
