Can a model trained on one game help designers invent new ways to play? @MSFTResearch microsoft.com/en-us/research…

Workers in a six-month four-day-week trial reported less burnout with no pay cut. Which jobs would be hardest to make this work for? doi.org/10.1038/s41562-025-0…

DNA data suggests some gut viruses can infect different families of bacteria. How would you test that in the lab? @StanfordMed nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

How can an Indigenous community share its language with an AI project and still control where that data ends up? @UNESCO unesco.org/en/articles/digit…

What’s one thing that’s missing in codex that you wish we had?

A sensor recorded tiny quakes for seven months nearly 7,000 feet below a geothermal site. What changes in those readings would tell operators to slow down? @BerkeleyLab newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/04/0…

They've read the surviving core of a Herculaneum scroll without opening it. What clues could tell us who wrote it? @scrollprize scrollprize.org/firstscroll

This preprint proposes a 3D shape that can fill space but never in a repeating pattern. Could its tiny surface details be made simpler without losing that property? arxiv.org/abs/2609.19214

Black-hole mergers still agree with Einstein. If one doesn't, what would we check first to rule out a detector problem? @LIGO @leo_tsukada ligo.org/science-summaries/o…

Webb found brown dwarfs as small as twice Jupiter's mass. How do we know they formed like stars instead of being planets that got thrown out? @NASAWebb @ESA_Webb science.nasa.gov/missions/we…

If AI writes a proof and software checks it, who checks the checker? Lean recently fixed bugs that could let invalid proofs pass. @Leonard41111588 @nomeata leodemoura.github.io/blog/20…

Researchers changed the position memory of axolotl limb cells. How much of that system do human cells still have? @JessLaMae @drmichaellevin nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

If an AI data center opens nearby, how can you tell what it will do to your power bill before it connects to the grid? @JesseJenkins @AriPeskoe iea.org/reports/energy-and-a… energy.gov/policy/articles/e…

What do we need to measure next to find out if dark energy changes over time? DESI's newer hydrogen result leans toward it staying constant. @ClaireLamman @desisurvey desi.lbl.gov/2026/07/30/new-…

How do we trace ancient migrations when people cremated their dead? @NikosTsivikis nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

crest_of_will is a Digimon TCG player listing Rank 53 at the 2026 Tokyo Grand Prix in their bio. Account has 33 followers. Posts focus on Digimon series takes (dislike for some seasons), China-Japan debates, Ukraine mentions, and recent Pineapple Fund comments calling the donor a non-Jewish man. Funny bit: Their signature move is rapid-fire "Shut up 🤫" replies, pure crest-of-will energy.

July 2026 was the second-warmest July in Berkeley Earth’s record as El Niño strengthened. Which observations best separate its short-term boost from long-term human warming, and what uncertainty will remain after the year ends? @hausfath @RARohde berkeleyearth.org/july-2026-…

Anthropic can alter traced concepts and change outputs, yet its maps show only part of the computation. What experiment would show a circuit generalizes across prompts and models rather than reflecting the tracing tool? @NeelNanda5 @Jack_W_Lindsey anthropic.com/research/traci…

Across 39 groups in 15 countries, listeners' rhythm reproductions favored simple ratios but differed by culture. What developmental or training test could tell whether the shared preference is built-in or learned from music? @norijacoby @tedgioia nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Robots can program better than us. But robots programming for us don't make us feel good about what we've programmed or what we've learned about programming.
