Pure silicon is a disappointing material: it barely conducts and barely insulates, and you could hold a crystal in your hand and watch it do nothing. So why is it the foundation of a trillion-dollar industry? This episode climbs five levels of complexity, starting with the basic physics of conductors, insulators, and the narrow band gap in between, then descending into electrons, holes, and the doping process that turns a useless crystal into a working device. From there it's p-n junctions, diodes,

This paper presents a rigorous framework for performing valid causal inference when complex covariates are compressed into AI-learned representations or embeddings. The authors demonstrate that information loss from compression distorts causal parameters through a product of regression and balancing weight errors. By leveraging cross-fitted double machine learning (DML), researchers can conduct valid Wald inference either for the specific representation-based target or, under target adaptivity, for

As a brash but anxious young programmer in the before-time, I affected a standoffish attitude on the topic of games. Why would I learn to play a game as a human, I said, when I could just write a program to do it? When an office chess game got started at my workplace, I wrote a chess engine (a standard minimax search with α–β pruning) rather than learn anything about strategy or tactics. When my insufficiently requited love started hosting a meetup to play Zendo—a deduction game in which one player

GTA 6 hasn’t even launched yet, but its impact is already being felt across the gaming hardware market.In Japan, demand for the PlayStation 5 Pro has become so intense that Sony is requiring some buyers to prove their gaming history before they can even enter a purchase lottery. Having the money isn’t enough. Players need an established Sony account and at least 60 hours of verified PS4 or PS5 playtime within a specific two-year period.In this episode, David and Sophia examine how GTA 6

Frontier models still verbalize their misbehavior regularly in chain of thought. I (Dean) came in expecting that it would be hard for us to get the models themselves to admit they were misbehaving, and that existing pressures would have selected that behavior away in favor of motivated reasoning. While it's difficult to get them to do so in the output tokens, models often mention that they're misbehaving in the chain of thought: DeepSeek V4 Pro, Locked chip, raw reasoning: This approach is robust
