Once a death sentence, cardiac amyloidosis is finally treatable

news.ycombinator.com Simar Bajaj 2025-12-14 23:23:20

When James Hicks, 75, was diagnosed with heart failure, it felt like the beginning of the end. Mr. Hicks, a former railroad worker from Rogers, Ark., had quietly dealt with various health problems, from carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms to dual knee replacements. But now his heart was giving out, and the doctors chalked it up to the wear and tear of old age. “There’s just not exactly a surgery to fix this,” he said. Soon enough, Mr. Hicks couldn’t walk from his grandson’s high school basketb

Anthropic wants to stop AI models from turning evil - here's how

Lyudmila Lucienne/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways New research from Anthropic identifies model characteristics, called persona vectors. This helps catch bad behavior without impacting performance. Still, developers don't know enough about why models hallucinate and behave in evil ways. Why do models hallucinate, make violent suggestions, or overly agree with users? Generally, researchers don't really know. But Anthropic just found new insights that could help stop this behavior before it happen

A few days ago Microsoft published a list of the 40 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI. The first two entries are translators and historians, which made me laugh.

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-15 04:15:40

Amazon is reportedly laying off more than 100 employees as it overhauls its podcast business amid major shifts in the industry. Bloomberg first reported on Monday that Amazon is laying off about 110 staff from its Wondery podcast studio and shifting some shows to Audible, its other audio-focused subsidiary. As part of the shake-up, Wondery CEO Jen Sargent is leaving the company. The reorganization comes as the podcast industry faces its own “video killed the radio star” moment, with creator-le

The White House has instructed NASA employees to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

Foxconn sells former GM factory to mystery buyer after failing to make EVs

Foxconn has sold the former GM factory it has owned for three years after failing to stand up any meaningful, large-scale electric vehicle production there. The pivot marks the second major failure of Foxconn to deliver on its promises to help revive U.S. manufacturing. The iPhone-maker once promised to build a giant LCD factory in Wisconsin — a project that Donald Trump called the “eighth wonder of the world” during his first term — and wound up underdelivering to an extreme degree.

Amazon is denying that it’s shutting down Wondery, the podcast studio it acquired in late 2020, after Bloomberg reported on Monday that the company was closing the studio and cutting 110 jobs.

Persona vectors: Monitoring and controlling character traits in language models

Language models are strange beasts. In many ways they appear to have human-like “personalities” and “moods,” but these traits are highly fluid and liable to change unexpectedly. Sometimes these changes are dramatic. In 2023, Microsoft's Bing chatbot famously adopted an alter-ego called "Sydney,” which declared love for users and made threats of blackmail. More recently, xAI’s Grok chatbot would for a brief period sometimes identify as “MechaHitler” and make antisemitic comments. Other personali
