In the world of machine learning, a quiet but important argument is making the rounds. A piece from Kartik Pansuriya challenges the assumption that accuracy is the gold standard for AI models. The argument is that calibration — knowing how confident a model should be — matters far more when real decisions are on the line. It's a reminder that being right on average can still lead you badly astray in practice.
Shifting to a debate that touches everyone with a smart fridge or a connected thermostat, a piece circulating today makes the case that appliances simply should not be online.

The signing ceremony took place in Abidjan, and it signals continued momentum for the framework governing peaceful and responsible behavior in space exploration.
