THIS YEAR

Humane, a company started by former Apple employees that aims to create an AI-first post-smartphone future, has announced that its first gadget will be called the Humane Ai Pin. There is not much information about how the gadget will work, what it will do, or what it looks like. Humane has a partnership with Qualcomm to power the Ai Pin with an advanced Snapdragon platform. A video showing the company's co-founder demonstrating a device that could be the Ai Pin at a TED conference earlier this year is available in the article.

OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

Microsoft's Analog Interactive Machine (AIM) uses both binary and continuous variables to solve problems of optimization at a lightning-fast pace. The system uses optics and electronics to process continuous value data and perform vector-matrix multiplications. Its components have been miniaturized to fit centimeter-scale chips - the AIM is no bigger than a rack enclosure. Optical computers could open up new fields of research while also reducing resources spent on performing complex calculations.

JAPAN

A Japanese research team is set to begin clinical trials in July 2024 on a medication that might allow people to grow new teeth. If everything goes to plan, the team plans to have the medication ready for general use in 2030. The medicine is intended for people who lack a full set of adult teeth due to a congenital condition called anodontia. It works by blocking a certain protein's function. If the drug works in humans, it will be a game-changer for the entire field of dentistry.

DEV PERFORMANCE

This article discusses how to quantify engineering performance. It covers how to track tasks, ranking, what metrics to measure performance with, complexity, bugs, and much more. Many maladaptive symptoms in the corporate environment are caused by not having good methods for quantifying engineering performance. There are tremendous advantages to getting this right as it holds the key to solving many of the dysfunctions that hold back engineering teams.

HOW REDDIT CRUSHED THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN ITS HISTORY

Thousands of Reddit communities locked down last month to protest platform changes that would force a variety of third-party apps and services to shut down. Most communities have now opened back up as the site told subreddit mods that it would replace them if their communities remained closed. Reddit has now exempted accessibility-focused apps from the new API pricing and it promises to make accessibility improvements to its moderation tools over the next couple of months. While Reddit has gotten things mostly back to normal, many parts of its community are still pushing the protest message.
