Select walls at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have been transformed into works of art. Each piece reflects creativity, collaboration, and the spirit of discovery. Painted by Texas students, the murals honor the legacy of the International Space Station and 25 years of continuous human presence in space.  The International Space Station Program Mural Project began in 2022 as part of a broader effort to bring color and inspiration into the workplace while connecting classrooms to NASA’s mission.  “The mural collection is a reminder that today’s dreams can be tomorrow’s realities,” said Space Operations Mission Directorate Deputy Associate Administrator Joel Montalbano.…

What’s the soul of a new machine? It’s a loaded question, and not one with a satisfying answer; the predominant view, after all, is that souls don’t even exist in humans, so looking for one in a machine learning model is probably a fool’s errand. Or at least that’s what you’d think. As detailed in a post on the blog Less Wrong, AI tinkerer Richard Weiss came across a fascinating document that purportedly describes the “soul” of AI company Anthropic’s Claude 4.5 Opus model. And no, we’re not editorializing: Weiss managed to get the model to spit out a document…

Have you heard about Snapdragon Sound? Well if you haven’t, it’s a Bluetooth streaming platform dreamed up and made real by Qualcomm that enables the transmission of audio over Bluetooth at lossless quality. But there is a catch. And that catch is that to benefit from the high bandwidth and lossless audio that the Snapdragon Sound platform can output to, all devices need to support aptX Lossless. That means your headphones need to be able to playback streams at lossless quality over Bluetooth, and your mobile device, in this case your smartphone, also needs to be transmit data over Bluetooth…

Every data engineering team right now is being asked the same question: "How do we build a chatbot that talks to our data?"The prototypes are deceptively simple. A developer connects GPT-5.1 to a Snowflake schema, asks "What is our revenue?", and watches as the model generates a syntactically perfect SQL query. It feels like magic. But when these systems move from a sandbox to production, the magic collapses. The bot reports $12 million revenue on Monday and $9.5 million on Tuesday, despite the underlying data remaining unchanged.The failure isn't a lack of model intelligence; it is an architectural "context gap."…
