The Predictability of Large Language Models' Abilities
===============
#05539463 ver:0.04
In a recent study by researchers at Stanford University, the notion that the sudden jumps in abilities observed in large language models (LLMs) are unpredictable and emergent is challenged. The study argues that these jumps are actually a consequence of how researchers measure the LLM's performance. The researchers found that as the number of parameters in the LLMs increased, their ability to perform tasks such as addition improved gradually and predictably, rather than undergoing a sudden jump. This suggests that the abilities of LLMs are more predictable than previously thought, and the choice of metric used to measure their performance plays a significant role .
However, other scientists argue that the work does not fully dispel the notion of emergence and that the unpredictability of ...

Chinese Scientists Develop AI Model to Optimize Placement of Solar Panels
===============
#a9e052ee ver:0.12
Chinese scientists have developed an AI model that can identify the best locations for installing double-sided solar panels. The model uses data from satellites and weather stations to optimize the placement of photovoltaic modules. The Tibetan Plateau and deserts of Xinjiang are identified as the best spots in China for installing double-sided PV panels to maximize energy output. Dual-sided panels are capable of generating more power than single-faced panels, but they are difficult to transport and maintain. China is the largest producer of solar PV modules, accounting for around 80% of the global total .
The AI model created by researchers from Tsinghua University and the National Tibetan Plateau Data Centre uses sunshine data from 2,500 weather stations across China to predict the amou...

#94817c09 ver:0.07
Comic and graphic novel sales have been declining in 2023, leading some to fear for the survival of the medium. The decline in sales is attributed to factors such as false bolstering of numbers through variant covers, convoluted events, incessant reboots, character swapping, gender-bending, and changing sexual orientation of beloved characters. The Direct Market, which includes comic stores, is also facing challenges. Suggestions for saving the industry include lower-priced comics, fewer covers, better editing, fewer character changes, and higher discounts for comic stores. The decline in superhero comics is related to a decline in the popularity of superheroes as a genre. Graphic novel sales have seen growth in comic stores, while superhero graphic novels represent a smaller percentage of...

OpenAI's text-to-video software tool Sora has arrived, raising concerns about the potential impact of deepfakes on elections. Recent polling shows that most U.S. adults struggle to detect AI-generated content. The U.S. General Accounting Office has reported that deepfakes have been used to try to influence elections. Researchers are developing new ways to detect deepfakes, including labeling AI-generated content with secure watermarking. Cryptographic signatures are being used by authoritative news sources to confirm the authenticity of their content.

US Condemns China's 'Dangerous and Destabilizing Conduct' in the South China Sea
===============
#4f23d284 ver:0.23
Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated as the China Coast Guard (CCG) continues to use water cannons against the Philippines. The CCG's repeated use of water cannons, which are mounted on the side of their ships and shoot high-pressure water, is seen as a gray zone intimidation tactic. The incidents have occurred in disputed areas such as Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal, where the legal status is contested. Water cannons were historically used for crowd control and defense against pirates by large commercial vessels, but the U.S. Coast Guard does not use them due to the risk of indiscriminate injury. The CCG's use of water cannons is considered dehumanizing and escalatory, and the Philippines is seeking support from its allies. The U.S. may consider sending military docto...

India's Inflation and Economic Growth at Risk from Red Sea Crisis-Driven Oil Price Rise
===============
#72561b91 ver:0.15
India's inflation and economic growth are at risk from the rise in oil prices caused by disruptions in the Red Sea. About 80% of India's merchandise trade with Europe passes through the Red Sea route, where missile and drone attacks have forced shipping firms to re-route vessels. The disruptions may impact India's shipments of agricultural commodities, textiles, chemicals, capital goods, marine and petroleum products, affecting the price competitiveness of exports. The government highlights the need to diversify trade routes and transportation options to address these challenges. The inflation outlook for the upcoming months is positive, and the official gross domestic product growth estimate for the current fiscal year has been raised to 7.6% from 7.3% .
