arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-21 00:48:41

Health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to roll back access to lifesaving vaccines for children, and has refused to even speak with staff scientists and subject-matter experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about evidence-based recommendations. That's according to former CDC officials who testified before the Senate on Wednesday. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) called ex-CDC director Susan Monarez to review

I Can Never Forget That ‘Loonatics Unleashed’ Existed

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-21 14:40:21

Our current IP-obsessed age is doing anything possible with old properties, but that’s not as new a trend as you’d think. Such a practice was around in the early and mid-2000s, just in small droves—case in point, do you remember when the Looney Tunes were superheroes? Yes, that really happened in a show called Loonatics Unleashed. The Kids’ WB show launched on September 17, 2005, and was the franchise’s first foray into the action genre. Our premise? It’s 2722, and the Loonatics were normal peo

The UN’s top investigative body on Palestine and Israel ruled on Tuesday that Israel is guilty of the crime of genocide in Gaza, in the most authoritative pronouncement to date.

Denmark close to wiping out cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 01:12:29

Denmark has effectively eliminated infections with the two biggest cancer-causing strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) since the vaccine was introduced in 2008, data suggests. The research, published in Eurosurveillance, could have implications for how vaccinated populations are screened in the coming years – particularly as people increasingly receive vaccines that protect against multiple high-risk types of HPV virus. Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV16/18 was between 15 and 17%, wh

'Baby Steps' Is a Hiking Game That Trolls ‘Slightly Problematic’ Men

wired.com Megan Farokhmanesh 2025-09-24 05:57:31

Game developer Bennett Foddy was watching a Greek myth unfold in front of him. A playtester for his latest project, Baby Steps, was struggling to navigate the game’s lead—Nate, a 35-year-old “failson” in a stained onesie—up a slippery hill. Each time, the terrain proved to be too much, and Nate skidded uselessly down it. Foddy has a reputation for making onerous games that take a little bit of masochism to master.

Fixing Hallucinations Would Destroy ChatGPT, Expert Finds

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-26 21:33:13

In a paper published earlier this month, OpenAI researchers said they'd found the reason why even the most powerful AI models still suffer from rampant "hallucinations," in which products like ChatGPT confidently make assertions that are factually false. They found that the way we evaluate the output of large language models, like the ones driving ChatGPT, means they're "optimized to be good test-takers" and that "guessing when uncertain improves test performance."

It's constant corrections that you're doing. It is very much an eye scan. You have to be looking at certain things. Where is your lead indicator coming from? If you wait for the airspeed to fall off, it's probably a little bit too late to tell you that you're underpowered. You need to look for some of the other cues that you have available to you.

OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

First 'perovskite camera' can see inside the human body

But today’s scanners depend on expensive detectors that are difficult to make. Now, scientists led by Northwestern University and Soochow University in China have built the first perovskite-based detector that can capture individual gamma rays for SPECT imaging with record-breaking precision.

Blumhouse Tries a New Scare Tactic With Netflix Series ‘Nightmares of Nature’

Nature shows tend to have horror baked in. Sure, we watch them to be educated, but also for the alarmingly gasp-inducing, uncomfortably emotional moments: killer whales gobbling adorable baby seals, furious lions battling each other for supremacy, uncomfortably large spiders just being themselves… you know how it goes. Horror studio Blumhouse is leaning hard into that idea with Nightmares of Nature, a new documentary series coming to Netflix. A joint production of Blumhouse Television and Plims
