Key Takeaways Circle saw its market value exceed $20 billion following its NYSE debut. The company reportedly rejected Ripple’s $5 billion acquisition offer as it was seen as undervalued. Share this article Circle, the USDC stablecoin issuer, made a blockbuster debut on Wall Street this week, with shares soaring to as high as $123, briefly […]
This article is part of the Circuits thread, a collection of short articles and commentary by an open scientific collaboration delving into the inner workings of neural networks. Zoom In: An Introduction to Circuits Curve Detectors The first few articles of the Circuits project will be focused on early vision in InceptionV1 — for our purposes, the […]
We just launched season three of the GitHub Secure Code Game, and this time we’re putting you face to face with the security risks introduced by artificial intelligence. Get ready to learn by doing and have fun doing it! First, you’ll step into the shoes of an adversary crafting malicious prompts. Then, you’ll secure your […]
I am a middle-aged person so that means I check Zillow regularly. I’m not in the market for a house. I just like checking real estate prices. That’s what you do when you get older. You become interested in real estate. I do it every time I travel somewhere. Our favorite spring break destination these […]
Many modern machine learning algorithms have a large number of hyperparameters. To effectively use these algorithms, we need to pick good hyperparameter values. In this article, we talk about Bayesian Optimization, a suite of techniques often used to tune hyperparameters. More generally, Bayesian Optimization can be used to optimize any black-box function. Let us start […]
After many false dawns, it looks like the UK fintech darling Monzo could be a public company by the end of next year. It will be a red – or coral pink – letter day for early investors who backed the challenger bank a decade ago. But an IPO could also put this rare win for […]

Coming cuts The termination of existing NSF and NIH grants is just the start of the administration’s plans to cut federal […]
May 31, 2025Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Linux Two information disclosure flaws have been identified in apport and systemd-coredump, the core dump handlers in Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora, according to the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU). Tracked as CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598, both vulnerabilities are race condition bugs that could enable a local attacker to […]
Want to become a millionaire? Find the next Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). Since 2010, Tesla shares have risen in value by nearly 28,000%. An original investment of just $36 would have turned into $1 million over that time period. Few investments in history have been able to provide this much gains over such a short period. […]
