More (But Not All) of the Original ‘Trek’ Crew Will Come to ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-06 23:15:28

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy. This fun change in perspective is something fans already experienced in J.J. Abrams’ alt-world Star Trek movies

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-06 23:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

Hierarchical Modeling (H-Nets)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-07 03:35:15

The best AI architectures in use today treat all inputs equally. They process each input with the same amount of compute, without explicitly grouping related inputs into higher level concepts. While these architectures have achieved impressive results across domains, this lack of hierarchy has some fundamental limitations. Models have difficulty learning from high resolution, raw data, requiring inputs to be pre-processed into meaningful tokens for strong performance. The use of hand-crafted p
