White collar workers are increasingly using AI note-taking apps to assist them during Zoom meetings or fully represent them when they choose not to attend (Washington Post)

No one likes meetings. They’re sending their AI note takers instead.
Artificial intelligence apps that record and summarize meetings can tempt workers into skipping calls, leaving humans who join in the company of silent bots.

Found an old review, really loved working with New Noveta back in 2019:
"The two young performers get straight to work making the attendees at the edges of the room feel uncomfortable, grasping each other's bodies, screaming and crying, while brandishing what appears to be a giant folding fan made of 2ft blades. The pair chase each other on foot through the crowd, pushing people in all directions and never looking anything other than distressed, disturbed or downright terrified…

Sample-optimal learning of quantum states using gentle measurements
Gentle measurements of quantum states do not entirely collapse the initial state. Instead, they provide a post-measurement state at a prescribed trace distance $α$ from the initial state together with a random variable used for quantum learning of the initial state. We introduce here the class of $α-$locally-gentle measurements ($α-$LGM) on a finite dimensional quantum system which are product measurements on product states and prove a strong quantum Data-Processing Inequality (qDPI) on this…

A catalog of near-IR absolute magnitudes of Solar System small bodies
Context. Phase curves of small bodies are useful tools to obtain their absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients. The former relates to the object's apparent brightness, while the latter relates to how the light interacts with the surface. Data from multi-wavelength photometric surveys, which usually serendipitously observe small bodies, are becoming the cornerstone of large statistical studies of the Solar System. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, all studies have been carried out in visible wa…

John Coltrane's "Practice Buddies," From Benny Golson to Pat DeRosa
Here’s something kind of endearing about John Coltrane (1926-1967) that has never been discussed: He liked to practice with another musician, usually a saxophonist.

Baidu plans to open-source its Ernie LLM on June 30; some say this could cement China's AI leadership, while others doubt it will be a "DeepSeek moment" (Kevin Williams/CNBC)

China's biggest public AI drop since DeepSeek, Baidu's open source Ernie, is about to hit the market
Chinese internet search giant Baidu will open source its Ernie gen AI large language model as soon as this week, with uncertain consequences for the market.
