SPACEX'S STARSHIP MOON LANDER LIKELY TO FACE MORE DELAYS, REPORT SAYS
(3 MINUTE READ) [7]
SpaceX's Starship lunar lander for NASA faces more delays. NASA
recently moved the company's June 2027 moon landing deadline to 2028.
A major review of Starship's design was postponed until August,
leaving little room to meet the current schedule. The biggest
challenge facing Starship's development is demonstrating the vehicle's
ability to be refueled in orbit, which must be done repeatedly in
order to reach the Moon.
ONE VACCINE MAY PROVIDE BROAD PROTECTION AGAINST MANY RESPIRATORY
INFECTIONS AND ALLERGENS (8 MINUTE READ) [8]
Researchers have developed a universal vaccine formula that protects
against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria, and even
allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally, and it provides
broad protection in the lungs for several months. It works by
mimicking the signals that immune cells use to communicate with each
other during an infection. The vaccine has only been tested in mice,
but researchers estimate, in the best-case scenario, that it might be
available in five to seven years.

WHY I BELIEVE IN SOTA MODELS OVER CUSTOM ONES (1 MINUTE READ) [11]
The smarter and more experienced a human is, the better job they will
do. Even small tasks benefit from the general life experience of the
person doing the execution. This is why SOTA models will always be
better than small, specialized models. The best models keep coming
down in price, so enterprises will likely just use general models in
the long term instead of tuning less capable models.

WHY THE ATM DIDN'T KILL BANK TELLER JOBS, BUT THE IPHONE DID (25
MINUTE READ) [12]
ATMs were predicted to increase bank teller unemployment, but they
didn't. However, the number of bank tellers started to fall after the
birth of the iPhone. When a technology automates what a human does
within an existing paradigm, it rarely gets rid of the human, as the
definition of the paradigm creates the need for human involvement. The
iPhone created a new paradigm that made the tasks that the ATM
substituted irrelevant.
ANTHROPIC TELLS JUDGE BILLIONS AT STAKE IF US SHUNS AI TOOL (3 MINUTE
READ) [13]
Anthropic could lose billions of dollars in revenue this year due to
the Department of War's declaration of the company as a supply-chain
risk. It has asked a judge to take quick action on its request to
block the decision. The declaration has led to more than 100
enterprise customers contacting Anthropic to express doubt about
continuing their relationship. A hearing on Anthropic's request had
been set for April 3, but the judge moved it up to March 24.
