Many old wives’ tales are wrong, but not this one: When your feet hurt, everything hurts. That one’s 100 percent true, and yet we still don’t devote nearly enough TLC to our feet after a long day of abuse. Renpho’s Foot Massager Machine, which delivers 3 levels of heat and a soothing massage along your arch and heel, got an upgrade for 2025 and now it’s getting a limited-time sale at Amazon for just $85. That’s its lowest price ever, a hefty $45 below its normal $130. Better still, it’s also FS

The economic winds whipped up by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff proclamations in early April have been anything but a gentle breeze. Rising prices, fomenting trade wars, and uncertainty about when tariffs will go into effect has led to a volatile economic climate. People looking to buy electronics and other goods affected by the tariffs are trying to figure out whether they should wait it out to see if the administration’s trade policies become more favorable, or quickly scoop up wha

According to a report from NPR , Meta plans to shift the task of assessing its products' potential harms away from human reviewers, instead leaning more heavily on AI to speed up the process.

In Brief An AI-powered system could soon take responsibility for evaluating the potential harms and privacy risks of up to 90% of updates made to Meta apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, according to internal documents reportedly viewed by NPR. NPR says a 2012 agreement between Facebook (now Meta) and the Federal Trade Commission requires the company to conduct privacy reviews of its products, evaluating the risks of any potential updates. Until now, those reviews have been largely conducted by

In our recent interpretability research, we introduced a new method to trace the thoughts of a large language model. Today, we’re open-sourcing the method so that anyone can build on our research. Our approach is to generate attribution graphs, which (partially) reveal the steps a model took internally to decide on a particular output. The open-source library we’re releasing supports the generation of attribution graphs on popular open-weights models—and a frontend hosted by Neuronpedia lets yo

National Public Radio sued President Trump and his administration today over Trump's move to block funding for public broadcasting. NPR said Trump acted illegally, and that losing federal funding could force it to shut newsrooms and dramatically scale back news coverage. On May 1, Trump issued an executive order titled, "Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media," in which he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and all US agencies to cease federal funding for NPR and PBS.

What I want from an array language is: Don’t make me think. Run fast on GPUs. Really, do not make me think. Do not. I say NumPy misses on three of these. So I’d like to propose a “fix” that—I claim—eliminates 90% of unnecessary thinking, with no loss of power. It would also fix all the things based on NumPy, for example every machine learning library.
