It offers unlimited projects and collaborators, aiming to integrate various aspects of scientific work into a single cloud-based LaTeX environment.

    AI is expected to significantly accelerate scientific discovery and make high-quality research tools more accessible, potentially democratizing the field of science.
    • Prism integrates GPT-5.2 for advanced reasoning and scientific collaboration.
    • Offers a unified platform for drafting, revising, managing equations, citations, and coordinating with collaborators.
    • Free to use for anyone with a ChatGPT personal account.

    Discussion (349): 1 hr 12 min

    Users discuss Prism, an evolution from Crixet, with concerns about AI-generated content's impact on academic publishing. There is debate over democratization of science versus maintaining high standards and skepticism regarding the utility of Prism's features compared to existing tools.

    • Prism is an evolution from Crixet, built on a strong foundation for scientific workflows with AI integration.
    • There's concern about the potential influx of AI-generated content in academic publications leading to quality degradation and increased workload for reviewers.
    Counterarguments:
    • There's a debate on whether to limit the democratization of science to prevent low-quality submissions from less experienced researchers.
    • Some argue for open access and inclusivity in academic publishing, while others advocate for maintaining high standards through peer review and gatekeeping mechanisms.

  8. 430k-year-old well-preserved wooden tools are the oldest ever found from nytimes.com
    411 by bookofjoe 16h ago | | |

    Article: 2 min

    Researchers have discovered the oldest wooden tools ever found, dating back approximately 430,000 years, at the Marathousa 1 site in Greece. These artifacts were excavated from a Middle Pleistocene layer and include a worked alder shard for digging and a carved poplar or willow twig used as a tool.

    • These are the oldest known wooden artifacts, predating previous records by about 56,000 years.
    • Archaeologists also found a partial skeleton of a straight-tusked elephant and other animal remains along with stone tools.

    Discussion (214): 51 min

    This comment thread explores various aspects of human and non-human tool use, including the oldest known wooden tools, the evolution of tool-making abilities across species, and debates surrounding historical conflicts and genocidal tendencies. It highlights ongoing discussions in archaeology and evolutionary biology, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding human behavior and cognition.

    • Ancient humans used tools before the emergence of Homo sapiens
    • Non-human primates also exhibit tool use
    Counterarguments:
    • Criticism regarding the interpretation of 'genocidal tendencies' in human history
    • Discussion on the role of cost-benefit analysis in historical conflicts
    • Reflections on the impact of technology and its preservation over time

  9. Rust’s Standard Library on the GPU from vectorware.com
    160 by justaboutanyone 4d ago | | |

    Article: 21 min

    VectorWare has successfully integrated Rust's standard library (std) into GPU-native applications, marking a significant step towards enabling developers to write high-performance GPU code using familiar Rust abstractions.

    Enables more efficient and accessible GPU programming for developers, potentially leading to advancements in AI, graphics rendering, and scientific computing.
    • VectorWare has built the first GPU-native software company and announced successful use of Rust's std library on GPUs.
    • The integration allows for complex, high-performance applications leveraging GPU hardware with familiar Rust abstractions.
    • This milestone is significant for developers looking to write GPU code without needing to learn new languages or frameworks.
    Quality:
    The article provides clear, technical information without overly sensationalizing the achievement.

    Discussion (22): 4 min

    The comment thread discusses the accuracy of a title implying Rust's standard library running on the GPU, with some users pointing out that it only partially runs on the GPU through remote function calls. There are also discussions about code execution on the GPU, comparisons to other projects like rust-gpu, and performance implications.

    • The title is misleading.
    Counterarguments:
    • For instance, std::time::Instant is implemented on the GPU using a device timer
    • I'm surprised this article doesn't provide a bigger list of calls that run on the gpu and further examples of what needs some cpu interop.
    • Why are you assuming that this is intended to be performant, compared to code that properly segregates the CPU- and GPU-side?
