How To Tell If We’re Beating COVID-19
This video is a collaboration with Aatish Bhatia about how to see the COVID-19 tipping point – we present a better way to graph COVID-19 coronavirus cases using a logarithmic scale in «phase space» – plotting the growth rate against the cumulative cases, rather than either of these against time.

Watch a Robot AI Beat a World Class Curling Competitor
On the ice, a machine-learning system often triumphed over high-level South Korean players. Artificial intelligence still needs to bridge the “sim-to-real” gap. Deep-learning techniques that are all the rage in AI log superlative performances in mastering cerebral games, including chess and Go, both of which can be played on a computer. But translating simulations to […]
What if the Universe was different?
If gravity were just a little stronger in our own three-dimensional world, the curvature of spacetime would be greater, and matter could more easily collapse in on itself. This arrangement would make stars, galaxies and planets extremely diminutive, compared with the ones in our reality. Not only would we have less space on Earth, but […]
Un algoritmo inspirado en los caminos descartados por las hormigas
Agencia SINC Es conocido que las hormigas dejan a su paso un rastro de feromonas, lo que permite al resto del hormiguero seguir la misma ruta. Rutas más cortas al nido permiten un paso más frecuente de hormigas: en consecuencia, acumulan mayor rastro de feromonas y quedan reforzadas positivamente frente a las otras rutas. Esto permite a […]
