- “One flare caught, generated by a distant active supermassive black hole called J1249+3449, was pinpointed to the region of the gravitational-wave event S190521g.“
- “There are certain things whose number is unknown. If we count them by threes, we have two left over; by fives, we have three left over; and by sevens, two are left over. How many things are there?“
- “The United States has a large lead over all other countries in top-tier AI research, China is the largest source of top-tier researchers.“
- “The state will behave more like a portfolio investor, investing public capital in diverse enterprises, not necessarily being the majority shareholder in each of them“
- “Japan backs out of US missile system, would consider acquiring weapons able to strike enemy missile launchers, first-strike capability represents a fundamental shift“
- “European officials are trying to ascertain whether [examining options for withdrawing US forces in Germany] is part of a negotiating ploy ahead of a July 11-12 NATO summit.“
- “Zoox’s strategy does not rely on adapting existing cars with self-driving technology. It is developing a purpose-built vehicle with no steering wheel“
- “if there’s ever been a moment when I could have absolutely just formed a dictatorship, they all would have joined me… lucky I don’t have dictatorial impulses no.”
- “The Unim.press is a Reddit reader in the style of a certain well-known metropolitan newspaper.“
