  • AI scientist Kosmos promises months of research in hours, but experts remain cautious
    November 7, 2025, 3:34 PM EST. Kosmos is a suite of specialized AI agents that analyzes data and literature to propose scientific conclusions. In typical runs up to 12 hours, it scans about 1,500 papers, writes and executes 42,000 lines of code, and outputs a plan for further cycles, culminating in reports with citations. Edison Scientific claims that 20 cycles equate to roughly six months of human research. Independent evaluators assessed 102 statements by Kosmos, finding about 79.4% overall support, including 85.5% on data-analysis claims and 82.1% on literature claims, but only 57.9% for drawing novel breakthroughs. Edison reports seven discoveries, four novel; others remain skeptical, with experts challenging some claims, such as a proposed link between SOD2 and reduced heart scarring, and debates about the Alzheimer's pathway finding.

  • I've Owned 8 Tablets - What the Perfect Tablet Would Actually Look Like
    November 7, 2025, 3:30 PM EST. From the iPad Pro's sublime hardware to iPadOS's stubborn limits, the author recounts eight tablet years chasing the ideal blend of power, portability, and software that finally lets the hardware shine. The piece argues that Apple's M-series chips and an OLED display elevate hardware, but iPadOS remains a mobile-first shell that prevents it from truly replacing a laptop. Android tablets like Samsung's One UI 8 stride toward productivity, yet hardware sometimes can't keep up. The author envisions a perfect tablet where software and hardware are tightly aligned-matching desktop-like multitasking with a true laptop replacement, seamless multi-display work, and battery endurance that doesn't compromise performance. In short, the ideal tablet would fuse the M-series power, an OS designed for power users, and a display that's equally at home in pocketable form.
  • Nasdaq set for worst week since April as AI nerves flare
    November 7, 2025, 3:28 PM EST. New York - Tech stocks pulled back as nerves over an AI bubble intensified. The Nasdaq Composite fell about 1.6% on Friday, on track for its worst week since early April. The S&P 500 and Dow also moved lower, with the blue-chip index down around 300 points. Wall Street's fear gauge surged, and the CNN Fear & Greed index sat in extreme fear. Nvidia slid roughly 3% and Palantir slipped, while Oracle tumbled about 11% for the week, underscoring renewed caution around the AI rally. Analysts warn valuations look stretched and returns from AI investments remain uncertain, even as OpenAI funding questions fuel AI hype jitters.
  • FAA restricts commercial rocket launches due to air-traffic risks amid government shutdown
    November 7, 2025, 3:24 PM EST. The FAA has issued an emergency order restricting navigable airspace, effectively scrubbing daytime rocket launches as the federal government shutdown continues. Beginning 6 a.m. EST on Nov. 10, launches may only occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. to minimize delays near Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg with staffing shortages. The measure primarily hits SpaceX and its Starlink missions, but other providers and manifests, including NASA's ESCAPADE mission and ULA's ViaSat-3 F2, may face delays. With most federal workers furloughed, essential personnel work without pay, complicating operations and safety assessments as controllers press on.
