The plasma that fills intergalactic space in galaxy clusters radiates so much in the x-ray band that it loses energy and slumps toward the cluster center. Such "cooling flows" are arrested by black hole jets but not in the Phoenix Cluster, new JWST observations reveal.

In the Phoenix galaxy cluster, the presence of a black hole allows gas to cool, collapse, and form stars at an extremely high rate, in contrast with other clusters where the black hole heats the gas a...

"we put each DeepSeek response against ChatGPT's $20/month o1 model and $200/month o1 Pro model, to see how it stands up to OpenAI's "state of the art" product as well as the "everyday" product that most AI consumers use." arstechnica.com/ai/2025/01/h...
How does DeepSeek R1 really fare against OpenAI’s best reasoning models?
We run the LLMs through a gauntlet of tests, from creative writing to complex instruction.

Love the 100 ducks hands down
A frivolous but illustrative and entertaining example of the immense power of OpenAI's new DeepResearch AI, as it definitively answers the hypothetical question:

"Who would win in a fight? 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?"

OpenAI has launched a new agent capable of conducting complex, multistep online research into everything from scientific studies to personalized bike recommendations at what it claims is the same level as a human analyst.
OpenAI’s new agent can compile detailed reports on practically any topic
In just minutes, Deep Research can produce reports that would take humans “tens of hours” to complete.

So the entire country is about to get a taste of the medical neglect experience 😟

Not loving this
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
