- A 1-bit LLM paper is being re-evaluated: the authors may have found a way to keep representational power while replacing multiplicative matrix operations with additive ones, promising large computational savings if sparsity and decentralized iterative diagonalization really work.  
- A ResearchGate paper on “non-iterative neural algorithms that separate high-dimensional sample points with hyperplanes” and a 2 GB vector-database build guide (https://gpt3experiments.substack.com/p/building-a-vector-database-in-2gb) were shared as related low-footprint ML resources.  
- Google abruptly closed a user’s Drive account for an alleged ToS violation, highlighting the fragility of centralized cloud storage for large personal data archives.  
- A biorxiv preprint demonstrates rendering full atomic-level protein structures inside cells with Unreal Engine, suggesting new visualization tools for structural biology and VR-based research.  
- Human-AI-IGC released “Emote Portrait Alive,” an audio-plus-image-to-video model that could automate comic-book animation, though no code has been published yet.  
- Discussion of the RIMS1 mutation linked to cone–rod dystrophy: carriers reportedly gain ~20 IQ points at the cost of progressive blindness, raising ethical questions about trade-offs in cognitive enhancement.  
- A debate on reclaiming “eugenics” from its coercive/genocidal connotations framed genetic interventions (e.g., CCR5 editing) as matters of reproductive freedom, with references to Jiankui He, Galton, and modern genomics avoiding the term.  
- Links to critiques of FDA regulation of surgery (https://www.maximum-progress.com/p/surgery-works-well-without-the-fda and rebuttal https://atelfo.substack.com/p/but-does-surgery-really-work-well) were provided as context for open, minimally regulated medical innovation.
