Why Apple Is Losing Ground in the AI Talent War (It’s Not Just Money)
Earlier this year, the Apple team working on the company’s artificial intelligence models wanted to release several of them as open-source software. Doing so would have shown Apple’s technical progress in AI while also harnessing the help of outside researchers to improve the models. Still, it ...

Exploring the Frontiers of Cosmic Ray Physics: Perspectives on GRANDProto300 and the GRAND Project
The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) is an envisioned large-scale radio array designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, $E > 100$ PeV) and neutrinos. Employing cost-effective antennas distributed across vast areas, GRAND is optimized to observe the rare flux of ultra-high-energy particles with high precision. The GRANDProto300 (GP300) pathfinder array, currently under deployment, targets the $10^{16.5} - 10^{18}$ eV range and is anticipated to achieve approximate…

We visited my wife's grandmother's village of origin recently, and I got to wondering why there were so few distinct surnames in the local cemetery.
I adapted a Wright-Fisher population genetics model to explain it: https://brendanhalpin.net/blog/posts/names/
