Stripe enlists a who’s who, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Paradigm, to build a new blockchain

In Brief Stripe is funding a new blockchain company called Tempo, co-founder CEO Patrick Collison announced on Thursday. Tempo is aimed at high-volume processing of stablecoins — coins that help reduce crypto’s notorious volatility because they are pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar. That’s not surprising given that Stripe acquired stablecoin company Bridge. What is surprising is the eye-popping list of companies Stripe has already enlisted: Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDa

Poor man's bitemporal data system in SQLite and Clojure

On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law. Viz., to make a sufficiently complicated data system containing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a bitemporal database. Because? Because laying about on a hammock, contemplating hopelessly complected objects like Current Databases isn't just for the Rich man. Don't try this at work! The "Poor Man's Bitemp

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

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. To address this, we introduce Contrastive Representati

Nomad introduces new Apple Watch Band – Tempo

I’ve been using Nomad’s Apple Watch bands for years, and I recommend them to anyone with an Apple Watch. They offer a great mix of premium materials, thoughtful design, and durability.

But now, Nomad is introducing a new Apple Watch Band line called the Tempo Band, built with the athlete in mind. This is what you need to know. Nomad has engineered the Te

New Gemini features will give the chatbot a better memory, but also selective amnesia

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini will be able to reference past conversations without requiring you to save them individually. A new Temporary Chats feature will let you keep certain conversations out of the chatbot’s memory and training data. The features are aimed at providing more personalization, as well as privacy for certain chats. Gemini is a powerful AI assistant, but you usually have to remember to save certain chats if you want to reference them later. However, thanks to

Ultra-Rapid Vision in Birds

Flying animals need to accurately detect, identify and track fast-moving objects and these behavioral requirements are likely to strongly select for abilities to resolve visual detail in time. However, evidence of highly elevated temporal acuity relative to non-flying animals has so far been confined to insects while it has been missing in birds. With behavioral experiments on three wild passerine species, blue tits, collared and pied flycatchers, we demonstrate temporal acuities of vision far e

Gemini could soon rival ChatGPT with its new privacy feature (Update: A closer look)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a temporary chat feature for Gemini. This feature could be similar to ChatGPT’s Temporary Chats, which give users a blank slate for conversation and doesn’t save any memory. We were able to subsequently take a closer look at this feature via more screenshots. Update: July 1, 2025 (8:30 AM ET): We uncovered evidence of a temporary chat feature in Gemini earlier this month (see the original article below). We were only able to provide

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin
