Ever since the election, there have been endless headlines about US women emulating South Korea’s fringe 4B movement

Self-supervised learning on offline datasets has permitted large models to reach remarkable capabilities both in text and image domains. Still, analogous generalizations for agents acting sequentially in decision-making problems are difficult to attain. The environments of classical Reinforcement Learning (RL) are mostly narrow and homogeneous and, consequently, hard to generalize. Current reinforcement learning (RL) methods often train agents on fixed tasks, limiting their ability to generalize to new environments. Platforms like MuJoCo and OpenAI Gym focus on specific scenarios, restricting agent adaptability. RL is based on Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), where agents maximize cumulative rewards by interacting with environments. Unsupervised…

Under Donald Trump and Joe Biden alike, the US has been determined to “reshore” chipmaking. Now money and colossal infrastructure are flowing to a vast Intel site in Ohio—just as the company may be falling apart.

Nuru Mugambi wasn’t meant to live beyond 40 years of age. She was to die seven years after being diagnosed with a rare and severe autoimmune disease called Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome or Lupus. On August 5, she was admitted to the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi. She never made it out. The final stretch of her illness seemed to have been characterised by hospitalisation, fundraisers, and prayers, easily casting her as a ‘warrior” or a poster child for Lupus. It reduces everything a person ever achieved, the dreams they dreamt of, to their terminal disease. It shouldn’t, because Nuru…
