SpaceX's Starship rocket could fly again as soon as Sunday. The test is still pending FAA approval. The last public statement released by the FAA suggested the agency didn't expect to determine whether to approve the license before late November, but there is some optimism at SpaceX that it will issue a launch license much sooner. The fifth Starship test flight will attempt the first-ever return to the launch site and catch of the Super Heavy booster. SpaceX won't attempt to reignite Starship's Raptor engines in space on the upcoming flight - the spacecraft will come to a soft splashdown in a target area in the Indian Ocean.
Samsung issued a public apology and acknowledged it is in a 'crisis' following the release of its profit guidance on Tuesday. It reported a preliminary profit that undershot market expectations, and its share price has fallen almost 30% over the past six months. The worse-than-expected guidance underlines investor concerns about deteriorating memory market conditions and the possibility of slowing AI investment by big tech groups. Samsung is cutting some of its overseas staff and wrestling with growing worker discontent at home.
Scientists at Oxford have started developing an ovarian cancer vaccine that imbues the immune system with the ability to recognize and attack early-stage ovarian cancer cells. The research is currently focusing on women with one or two specific mutations known to be linked to a higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The vaccine still needs to go through several rounds of trials, a process that could take years, before human clinical trials can begin.
The supply of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic has been plagued with shortages. While companies are doing what they can to increase supply, it is extremely unlikely that demand will be met in the near term. This article looks at growth for GLP-1 drugs over the next six years and how many people will stand to benefit from them over this time. More than two in five people in the US are overweight, so increasing access to the drug will have a large benefit on the population.

Cognitive load is how much a developer needs to think in order to complete a task. Confusion, which is caused by high cognitive load, costs time and money. Developers spend far more time reading and understanding code than writing it, so they should constantly ask themselves whether they are embedding excessive cognitive load into their code and reduce that load.

Automattic demanding 8% of WP Engine's revenues for not 'giving back enough' to WordPress is a violation of general open source ideals and the specifics of the GPL license. The potential damage to the open source world extends far beyond WordPress. Open source has been successful over the last several decades because of the clarity and certainty of its licensing regime, which allows people to build a business on open source without fear of frivolous claims or surprise shakedowns. The integrity of these licenses is under direct assault by Automattic's claim for WP Engine's revenues. Automattic is able to change its license away from the GPL if it wishes.
The British Government announced last week that it was transferring the sovereignty of an island in the Indian Ocean to the country of Mauritius, spelling the end of the .io domain suffix. This article looks at how geopolitical changes can unexpectedly disrupt the digital world. It explores historical precedents and office valuable context for tech founders, users, and observers. It also provides a look at the unexpected intersection of international relations and internet infrastructure.

Anthropic has announced a new batch processing API that enables developers to send batches of up to 10,000 queries per batch. Each batch is processed in less than 24 hours and costs 50% less than standard API calls. This makes processing non-time-sensitive tasks more efficient and cost-effective.
A deep dive post mortem on what happened with the much hyped Reflection-70B model. It had bugs in its benchmark code. Its team has fixed them and performance is still very impressive, but not quite to the level they claimed.
Model merging is a way to combine two models and get the performance of each. However, it doesn't always scale properly with model size. This paper explores what is needed to make it work well with a really large model.
Normalizing the internal representation of language models is the target of a lot of resource activity. This work shows that if you put every internal vector on a hypersphere, it dramatically decreases convergence time for reasonably sized models.
Language models are getting so good at writing code that many benchmarks are saturating. This paper suggests a benchmark that is harder and aims to determine how models perform on reasoning and code generation tasks.

This article explores the pitfalls of data leakage in machine learning, highlighting two scenarios where improper data handling led to misleading model performance. One company made the mistake of filtering data based on an upper price limit before modeling, while another faced issues by not adhering to a strict chronological split. Key takeaways include the importance of detecting leakage and understanding its impact on model accuracy.
AI development faces potential challenges from a "data wall" as language models approach training on all available text. This article argues against relying on human analogies for overcoming data limitations, highlighting the vast data and evolutionary processes that contribute to human intelligence. While human learning strategies might not directly apply to AI, this doesn't rule out other modalities or algorithmic progress for advancing AI capabilities.
