From AI Darling to Disinformation Playbook: How Fake Accounts Managed a Market Frenzy and What DeepSeek’s Hype Teaches Leaders DeepSeek, a new Chinese AI model, stormed app charts and briefly sent shockwaves through global markets. However, our disinformation research team found that much of this excitement was artificial — driven by thousands of fake profiles working in tandem. Their behavior bore the hallmarks of state-linked bot networks, amplifying hype and distorting market perception.

This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite. It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately.

Antarctica Is Unraveling

gizmodo.com Matt Simon 2025-10-27 03:10:15

Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean. Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, but an extraordinarily complex interplay between the ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets and shelves. That relationship is in serious peril. A new paper in the journal Nature catalogs how several “abrupt changes,” like the precipitous loss of sea ice over the last dec

GoPro Needs to Get Its Act Together if These Leaks for DJI’s Tiny Action Camera Are Real

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 02:42:40

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features.

This entry (or lack thereof) is often cited as evidence of the king’s disinterest in the brewing revolution.
