The 100 Best, Worst, and Strangest Sherlock Holmes Portrayals of All-Time, Ranked
The 100 Best, Worst, and Strangest Sherlock Holmes Portrayals of All-Time, Ranked Once you eliminate the least compelling Sherlock Holmes performances, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the best. We’re ranking Sherlock Holmes performances. One hundred of them. Not Sherlock Holmes adaptations, but the representations within them of Sherlock Holmes himself. Now, you might think tha

Here’s what we are announcing today: Amazon Braket – A fully managed service that allows scientists, researchers, and develop
Machines of Loving Grace1 How AI Could Transform the World for the Better October 2024 I think and talk a lot about the risks of powerful AI. The company I’m the CEO of, Anthropic, does a lot of research on how to reduce these risks. Because of this, people sometimes draw the conclusion that I’m a pessimist or “doomer” who thinks AI will be mostly bad or dangerous. I don’t think that at all. In fa

Making Monsters Delicious with Delicious in Dungeon Manga Creator Ryoko Kui
ANN's coverage of Anime Expo 2024 sponsored by Yen Press and Ize Press! DUNGEON MESHI©Ryoko Kui 2013 / KADOKAWA CORPORATIONHot off the heels of its season one finale, Delicious in Dungeon captivated audiences with its ensemble cast's humorous chemistry, appetizing meals, and impressive world-building.

The story of mRNA: How a once-dismissed idea became a leading technology in the Covid vaccine race
Both companies have been frequently name-checked by President Trump. Pfizer reported strong, but preliminary, data on Monday, and Moderna is expected to follow suit soon with a glimpse of its data. Both firms hope these preliminary results will allow an emergency deployment of their vaccines — millions of doses likely targeted to frontline medical workers and others most at risk of Covid-19. Relat
Nobel prize-winning scientist: the Covid-19 epidemic was never exponential
As he is careful to point out, Professor Michael Levitt is not an epidemiologist. He’s Professor of Structural Biology at the Stanford School of Medicine, and winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for “the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems.” He’s a numbers guy — as he told us in our interview, his wife says he loves numbers more than her — but then, much of moder

The PARA Method: The Simple System for Organizing Your Digital Life in Seconds
The PARA Method: The Simple System for Organizing Your Digital Life in Seconds Imagine for a moment the perfect organizational system. A system that told you exactly where to put every piece of information in your life – every document, file, note, agenda, outline, and bit of research – and exactly where to find it when you needed it. Such a system would need to be incredibly easy to set up, and e
Make Something WonderfulSteve Jobs in his own wordsThere’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell
Covid’s Forgotten Hero: The Untold Story Of The Scientist Whose Breakthrough Made The Vaccines Possible
Without Ian MacLachlan’s innovative delivery system, Moderna and Pfizer couldn’t safely get their mRNA vaccines into your cells. So why does hardly anyone acknowledge the Canadian biochemist’s seminal contributions—or pay a dime in royalties? In the summer of 2020, as the pandemic raged, infecting more than 200,000 people a day across the globe, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and BioNTech CEO Uğur Şahi

The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it. First, a short description of what AI is: The application of mathematics and software code to teach computers how to understand, synthesize, and generate knowledge in ways similar to how people do it.

Growing Neural Cellular Automata
Growing models were trained to generate patterns, but don't know how to persist them. Some patterns explode, some decay, but some happen to be almost stable or even regenerate parts! [experiment 1] Persistent models are trained to make the pattern stay for a prolonged period of time. Interstingly, they often develop some regenerative capabilities without being explicitly instructed to do so [exper
Biohacking Lite
Throughout my life I never paid too much attention to health, exercise, diet or nutrition. I knew that you’re supposed to get some exercise and eat vegetables or something, but it stopped at that (“mom said”-) level of abstraction. I also knew that I can probably get away with some ignorance while I am young, but at some point I was messing with my health-adjusted life expectancy. So about halfway
The intrusion of irrational ideology is distorting and censoring science A quarter-century ago, the “Science Wars” — an unfortunate military metaphor applied to an intellectual debate — pitted a motley crew of postmodernist-influenced literary scholars and social scientists, often (but not always) of a leftist and feminist political bent, espousing an extreme social-constructivist view of science
‘John Wick 4’ Star Hiroyuki Sanada Teases His FX Series ‘Shogun,’ His First as a Lead: ‘I Feel Reborn’
There’s a scene between John Wick and my character Shimazu Koji, up on the roof top where the two old friends are drinking whiskey. Just talking. Talking, not fighting. That’s a very rare thing in this movie. It created atmosphere and established their chemistry. As an action franchise, “John Wick” is pretty intense. Were you ready for that? Before he created “John Wick” and at the end of “47 Roni

Designing a New Rust Class at Stanford: Safety in Systems Programming
Writing quality software is hard. Sometimes, software breaks in entertaining ways. However, when software runs everything from personal assistants like Alexa and Google Home to banking to elections, some bugs can be much more severe. This past quarter, Armin Namavari and I tried teaching a class about how to write software that sucks just a little less. We focused on common problems in computer sy
Turmeric’s unexpected link to lead poisoning in Bangladesh

経済産業大臣に輸出許可申請が必要となる噴霧乾燥機を無許可で輸出したとして逮捕・起訴された事件で、東京地検は、輸出規制対象に該当するかどうか疑いが生じたとして、初公判の直前に起訴を取り消しました。逮捕された3名のうち2名は保釈が認められるまで1年近く拘置所に勾留され、もう1名は勾留中に体調を崩し、起訴取消を知ることなく亡くなりました。なぜこのようなことが起きたのか、捜査の違法性を徹底追及します。 Two of the three arrested were detained in detention center for nearly a year until bail was granted, and the other died during detention without knowing the cancellation of the indictment. ※第一目標であった30
In the fall of 2012, Ken Liu received an intriguing offer from a Chinese company with a blandly bureaucratic name: China Educational Publications Import and Export Corporation, Ltd.

[This is a transcript of the video embedded below. Some of the explanations may not make sense without the animations in the video.] A lot of people have asked me to do a video about nuclear power. But that turned out to be really difficult. You won’t be surprised to hear that opinions about nuclear power are extremely polarized and every source seems to have an agenda to push.

March 14, 2020 Colleagues: The COVID19 pandemic is forcing many teachers unfamiliar with online teaching to abandon suddenly their traditional modes of instruction and to begin to interact with students through the Internet. Some find the prospect daunting. The aspiration of this document is to help such teachers make the transition from classroom to online teaching — and perhaps to see the shift,
Chip Ward, How the Public Library Became Heartbreak Hotel Back in the 1950s, when every domestic scandal and nightmare, political or familial, wasn’t the subject of a television show, the library was my peephole into the mysteries of the adult universe. The key question, when it came to interpreting the world back then, was this: Would the librarian who ruled over the juvenile section free you to
A strip of eight PCR tubes, each containing a 100 μL reaction mixture Placing a strip of eight PCR tubes into a thermal cycler The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample rapidly, allowing scientists to amplify a very small sample of DNA (or a part of it) sufficiently to enable detailed study. PCR was invented in 1983

Modern technology has enabled the development and usage of storage, increasing the volume of information and data. As a result, data storage in recent years has been explosive. However, most of this data is untouched in databases and data lakes. For organizations and society to reap the benefits of collected data, we must interpret it. This requires high-level skills, where Data Science comes into
Reimagining China in Tokyo
A new community of expats is opening bookstores, attending lectures, and imagining alternatives to Xi from the relative safety of Japan. As a teacher in his early twenties, Zhang felt the premonition of a crisis. The new millennium had dawned, and Zhang (who asked that I use only his last name, for fear of government retaliation) was living in a middling city in central China drilling vocabulary t
