FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 ■ Have you ever watched Sirius rise? Find an open view right down to the east-southeast horizon, and watch for this brightest star to come up about two fists at arm’s length below Orion’s vertical Belt. Sirius comes up around 8 or 9 p.m. now, depending on your location. About 15 minutes before Sirius-rise, a lesser star comes up barely to the right of where Sirius will appear. This is Beta Canis Majoris, or Mirzam. Its name means “the Announcer,” and what Mirzam announces is Sirius. You’re not likely to mistake them; the second-magnitude Announcer is only…

The bitcoin price was trading in the $92,000 range earlier today but has now dropped back toward $90,000, reflecting continued volatility despite the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut. After briefly spiking above $93,000 yesterday, the crypto fell below $90,000 and stabilized around $90,600 at the time of writing. The pullback comes amid mixed signals from the Fed. While the rate cut to 3.50%–3.75% was widely anticipated, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious remarks and a 9–3 split among FOMC members — one favoring a deeper 50-basis-point cut and two opposing any reduction — tempered enthusiasm for risk assets, including BTC.…

The Federal Reserve’s anticipated 25 basis point Fed rate cut failed to dramatically sway the Bitcoin price. The rate cut initially caused a momentary spike in volatility, driving BTC toward $89,000. However, Bitcoin rapidly recovered, cementing its position in the $90K – $93K consolidation range.Although the market’s sideways movement tested the patience of short-term traders, analytics confirm a significant shift toward market stabilization. Downward pressure on Bitcoin is fading; the second wave of post-FOMC selling proved markedly weaker, indicating a strong base is now forming.Bitcoin Sees Historic On-chain Supply ShockThe most bullish factor is the extreme conviction visible in on-chain…

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine.Among the myriad abilities that humans possess, which ones are uniquely human? Language has been a top candidate at least since Aristotle, who wrote that humanity was “the animal that has language.” Even as large language models such as ChatGPT superficially replicate ordinary speech, researchers want to know if there are specific aspects of human language that simply have no parallels in the communication systems of other animals or artificially intelligent devices.In particular, researchers have been exploring the extent to which language models can reason about language itself. For some in…
