Computer Chips Are the Most Magnificent Things Humanity Has Ever Made
They power our phones, cars, dishwashers--and the A.I. systems that prop up the economy. "We don't have a rating scale for complexity, but rockets are maybe a five," an investor said. His partner added, "Semiconductors are an eleven." There are a handful of truly monumental collective achievements in our history: Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza, and perhaps, if we're being generous, the Roman aqueducts. Modern global civilization has made one contribution to this eternal pantheon. It is not the moon landing. It is the semiconductor supply chain. A microchip is a bauble of metal and refined sand. It doesn't appear to have epic proportions. Upon close examination, however, the epic proportions are there in miniature. Imagine a perfect replica of a sprawling metropolis, a Tokyo or a São Paulo, engraved at atomic dimensions on a tile the size of a fingernail. The urban details would be faithfully rendered to the last golf ball or egg--each reduced to ...
Bee stingers work like saws to pump venom

A bee stings the back of a patient receiving treatment at the workshop of Sayed al-Sayeh, an apitherapist who originally trained as an agricultural engineer, in a suburb of Giza, Egypt on June 11, 2021. Al-Sayeh offers his traditional medicine treatment free of charge, in principle using bees' sting venom to treat rheumatic pain, nerve inflammation, and arthritis. A honey bee () stings a victim, and the stinger will still pump venom into a wound even after it has fully detached from the bee's body. Thanks to some high-speed video, we may finally know the secrets behind this sting.

Random Reshuffling: Simple Analysis with Vast Improvements
Random Reshuffling (RR) is an algorithm for minimizing finite-sum functions that utilizes iterative gradient descent steps in conjunction with data reshuffling. Often contrasted with its sibling Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), RR is usually faster in practice and enjoys significant popularity in convex and non-convex optimization. The convergence rate of RR has attracted substantial attention recently and, for strongly convex and smooth functions, it was shown to converge faster than SGD if 1) the stepsize is small, 2) the gradients are bounded, and 3) the number of epochs is large.
