GitHub confirmed on May 20 that a poisoned VS Code extension installed on an employee’s device gave attackers access to roughly 3,800 internal repositories at the Microsoft-owned code storage and ...

The genetic code is central to life. With minor variations, everything uses the same sets of three DNA bases to encode the same 20 amino acids. We have discovered no major exceptions to this, leading ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Linear error-correcting codes form the mathematical backbone of modern digital communication and storage systems, but identifying champion linear codes (linear codes achieving or exceeding the best ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Asteroid particles offer a glimpse into the chemical ...

Claude code skills are an effective way to automate repetitive workflows, combining structured logic with adaptive AI-driven processes. As Jannis Moore explains, these skills are built around two core ...

Abstract: The Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is a modification of the classical Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP). In FJSP, jobs consist of multiple operations, each of which can be ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across ...

This illustration depics how Evo 2 learns the genetic language shared by all living things, from woolly mammoths to bacteria. The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a ...

A new study suggests that those with long-lived families probably have the best prospects of making it to a very old age. By Gina Kolata Gina Kolata recently reported on a study of the genes of the ...

The native just-in-time compiler in Python 3.15 can speed up code by as much as 20% or more, although it’s still experimental. JITing, or “just-in-time” compilation, can make relatively slow ...

In this video, I explain how computer scientists simulate evolution to train or evolve AI. Explore the fascinating intersection of natural evolution and artificial intelligence. Senate advances ...
