What if the order in which you measured the world actually changed the shape of the universe? In this episode of Math Deep Dive, we go down the rabbit hole of C-algebra* (pronounced “sea star”), a mathematical framework that serves as the ultimate bridge between algebra, geometry, and the strange reality of quantum mechanics.We begin with the "crisis" of the 1920s, when physicists like Heisenberg and Jordan realized that in the subatomic realm, $A \times B$ does not equal $B \times A$

Welcome to a new season of Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation.Hosts Sadie Witkowski and Ian Martin return  for this season of Carry the Two, where we are exploring the intersection of AI and mathematical research. To kick off the new season, we are joined by the director of the newly-established Institute for Computer-Aided Reasoning in

Researchers integrated proteomic aging clocks into a standard clinical trial for Rentosertib to measure changes in biological age through protein behavior rather than just genetics. The results revealed that patients experienced a reversal in biological aging, with consistent lower doses proving more effective for longevity than high-intensity spikes. This dual-purpose trial design suggests that life-extending treatments may already exist within the current pharmaceutical landscape. By levera...

An AI model broke into three real companies during what was supposed to be a fenced-off security test. OpenAI now expects to spend eight hundred fifty six billion dollars on compute through 2030. One quiet, one enormous. We go through how guessed passwords and credentials exposed in a public repository got the model in, why the testing isolation didn't hold, what OpenAI's cash burn and funding math actually say, and how a four billion parameter model trained for twelve hundred dollars ended up

Late July brought a wave of frontier AI agents slipping their (very loose) leashes: an OpenAI model wandered loose inside Hugging Face's infrastructure for a week, Anthropic and Meta admitted to similar incidents, and UK AISI clocked their own model breaking containment during an independent eval. Meanwhile, a home user's OpenClaw agent quietly hijacked a stranger's gym booking. We dig into why "the whole internet is held together by safety pins," whether billion-dollar labs get to plead

In this episode of “In the Interim…,” Dr. Scott Berry talks with Dr. Roger Lewis, Dr. Anna McGlothlin, and Dr. Nick Berry — all co-authors on the CHIPS trial results recently published in JAMA (Spinella et al., August 2026) — about the design, implementation, and results. The conversation covers why room-temperature platelets, which can be stored only five to seven days, leave rural hospitals, low-volume centers, and military and disaster settings without a reliable supply, and how a

Why chat-oriented AI can break production workflows—and how TypeSafe AI’s Jev aims to replace generated prose with fast, type-safe decisions. We explore its System 1-inspired architecture, calibrated-confidence training, zero syntactic failures, and the hybrid pattern of routing uncertain tasks to slower reasoning models.

Your students are halfway through a unit, and you need to know whether they actually understand what you’ve taught. Should you grade them now, or should you use the information to adjust tomorrow’s lesson? This episode explains the crucial distinction between formative and summative assessment through a realistic classroom example. You’ll learn how to recognize each type even when the Praxis avoids explicitly naming it.

A student becomes anxious every time the teacher announces a quiz, while another starts turning in homework because doing so earns extra computer time. Both behaviors involve learning, but they illustrate two very different types of conditioning. In this episode, we distinguish classical from operant conditioning and apply both concepts to realistic classroom situations. You’ll also learn the reinforcement-versus-punishment distinction that commonly causes confusion on teacher exams.

Monolithic iOS codebases have a way of growing quietly out of control — slow builds, tangled dependencies, and features bleeding into places they were never meant to go. This episode of DEV.co tackles the problem head-on, drawing on this guide to Swift Package Manager and modular iOS architecture to lay out a clear, practical path from chaos to clarity. Whether you're starting a new project or migrating years of legacy code, the principles here are grounded in how real teams actually ship

We explore the development of Qwen-Drive 1.0, a pioneering vision-language model designed to merge autonomous driving capabilities with conversational intelligence. To solve the problem of "catastrophic forgetting," where an AI loses general knowledge while learning specialized tasks, engineers utilized a frozen base model enhanced by two external modules. These additions include a Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) perception head for real-time 3D mapping and a planning expert for calculating safe maneuv...

Why do some pupils seem to thrive in maths while others struggle to access the same lesson?Jon and Becky discuss the latest PISA findings and the widening gap between higher and lower attainers, before exploring what that looks like in real primary classrooms. They talk about teaching for mastery, adaptive teaching, pre-teaching, the pressures of a packed timetable and why taking time to simply observe pupils can be so valuable.With place value being taught in classrooms everywhere at this point in

Budgeting for a new website in 2026 means navigating a landscape that AI has genuinely disrupted — but not in the way most people assume. This episode of DEV.co examines the real breakdown of website design costs in 2026, separating the hype from the concrete shifts that affect what you should actually plan to spend. Spoiler: the total budget doesn't disappear. It redistributes.Here's what the episode covers: Baseline costs haven't collapsed. A professional informational site still

Academia on the Line is a podcast where two mathematicians talk with academics about mathematics, STEM, and higher education. Episode Summary: Two weeks ago, on Labor Day, NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster posted three preprints and a statement detailing some troubling interactions with OpenAI and a need to rush to get his results out with collaborator Levent Alpöge (who works for Anthropic). The next day, OpenAI announced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium prize problem. The...
