HomogenizedSand: Scalable Granular Simulation for Robotics, Games & Engineering
HomogenizedSand: A scalable granular simulation for robotics, games and engineering What if realistic sand behavior no longer required simulating millions of grains? HomogenizedSand, a new paper from the Visual Computing Group at IST Austria, claims a practical path: trade particle-level detail for a continuum-style model that reproduces the macroscopic quirks of granular media while running […]
Amelia meme reveals generative AI dangers — a leader’s playbook for provenance and rapid response
How “Amelia” became a far‑right meme and what leaders must learn about generative AI TL;DR: Amelia — a purple‑haired fictional schoolgirl created for a UK Home Office‑funded counter‑extremism game — was quickly repurposed by far‑right communities into thousands of memes, parody videos and a speculative cryptocurrency token. The episode exposes how generative AI, platform amplification […]
Consensus AI: How Ensemble Models Cut Hallucinations and Scale AI Automation Safely
How Consensus AI Lets Businesses Move Fast Without Betting the Company TL;DR: Consensus AI (also called ensemble AI) runs multiple independent models, treats agreement as a confidence signal, and routes only low-consensus items for human review. That pattern cuts hallucinations, shrinks review bottlenecks, and creates auditable outputs—letting organizations scale AI automation in regulated and customer-facing […]

TL;DR — Executive summary What happened: Google Gemini, using its Google Flights integration, ran a 20-prompt research workflow and surfaced non‑obvious airports, carrier choices, and a booking timetable that materially reduced projected fares for a family trip from rural New York to Orlando/Miami. Headline result: Gemini recommended a protected open‑jaw itinerary (fly into Orlando, return […]
Why Lithium-Ion Batteries Explode and How Businesses Can Protect People, Property and Operations
Why rechargeable batteries sometimes explode—and how to keep people and property safe We carry a surprising amount of stored energy in our pockets: phones, laptops, power banks, e‑cigarettes and portable power stations are all packed with rechargeable batteries. Most of the time they’re safe, but when a lithium‑ion or lithium‑polymer cell fails it can fail […]
ML-Driven Vulnerability Prioritization: Using Semantic Embeddings to Rank CVEs Beyond CVSS
ML-driven Vulnerability Prioritization: Using Semantic Embeddings to Improve CVSS-Based Triage TL;DR: Use sentence embeddings plus simple metadata and supervised models to reorder CVE backlogs by likely exploit risk instead of relying only on CVSS. Run the demo notebook, or backtest the approach against three months of historical exploit telemetry to see lift in precision@k. Why […]
