WorkWorkWork515-Mile-Long Lightning Megaflash Sets New World Record - Scientific American (No paywall) Guinness World Records may be the go-to organization for measuring the extent of (sometimes dubious) human achievement, but for natural phenomena, the World Meteorological Organizations (WMOs) Committee on Weather and Climate Extremes sets the bar. Recently the committee certified a new record: the longest lightning strike ever measured. The bolt, which materialized on a stormy day in October 2017, spanned a total of 515 miles from East Texas to an area near Kansas City. Work
WorkWorkWorkThe two people shaping the future of OpenAI's research - MIT Technology Review (No paywall) For the past couple of years, OpenAI has felt like a one-man brand. With his showbiz style and fundraising glitz, CEO Sam Altman overshadows all other big names on the firms roster. Even his bungled ouster ended with him back on topand more famous than ever. But look past the charismatic frontman and you get a clearer sense of where this company is going. After all, Altman is not the one building the technology on which its reputation rests. WorkHow the Israeli Right Explains the Aid Disaster It Created - The New Yorker (No paywall) Last week, in a piece for the Guardian, Nick Maynard, a volunteer surgeon at a hospital in southern Gaza, wrote, Ive just finished operating on another severely malnourished young teenager. A seven-month-old baby lies in our paediatric intensive care unit, so tiny and malnourished that I initially mistook her for a newborn. The phrase skin and bones doesnt do justice to the way her body has been ravaged. She is literally wasting away before our eyes and, despite our best efforts, we are powerless to save her. The humanitarian situation in Gaza, which was already dire, deteriorated even further in July, with sixty-three people, including twenty-five children, dying from malnutrition-related causes, according to the World Health Organization. This past weekend, Israel announced that it would pause some military activity in the territory and allow more aid in, although it remains unclear how long that pause will last.
WorkWorkWorkWorkKamala Harris Is Booking It - Vulture (No paywall) Kamala Harris is writing about the summer she turned brat-ty. On September 23, the former vice-president will release 107 Days, a Simon & Schuster memoir about her travels across the country for her short-lived presidential campaign. With candor and reflection, Ive written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey, she said in a video announcement on July 31. I believe theres value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward. In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me sometimes, the fight takes a while.

WorkWorkWorkMeta and Microsoft keep their license to spend - WSJ (No paywall) That was hardly a given heading into their latest quarterly reports on Wednesday. Metas stock price in particular had slumped nearly 6% over the past month, following a flurry of news reports about Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg lavishing nine-figure paydays on artificial-intelligence researchers. And both Meta and Microsoft were already on track to spend more than 30% of this years revenue on capital expenditures, compared with about 15% to 20% historically. WorkEvery Scientific Empire Comes to an End - The Atlantic (No paywall) Roald Sagdeev has already watched one scientific empire rot from the inside. When Sagdeev began his career, in 1955, science in the Soviet Union was nearing its apex. At the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, he studied the thermonuclear reactions that occur inside of stars. A few lab tables away, Andrei Sakharov was developing the hydrogen bomb. The Soviet space program would soon astonish the world by lofting the first satellite, and then the first human being, into orbit. Sagdeev can still remember the screaming crowds that greeted returning cosmonauts in Red Square. But even during those years of triumph, he could see corruption working its way through Soviet science like a slow-moving poison.
