- AI system outperforms humans in designing floorplans for microchips. A machine-learning system has been trained to place memory blocks in microchip designs. The system beats human experts at the task, and offers the promise of better, more-rapidly produced chip designs than are currently possible. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01515-9 76 comments science

- "For me, it's nonsense to say that there are forces coming back from the future to stop the machine from working. If people could travel forward or back in time, why wouldn't they have done something better or worse for humanity than coming and twiddling around with the LHC?" http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gadgets/0,39029552,49304408,00.htm?s_cid=96 5 comments science
- NASA’s next Mars rover will use AI to be a better science partner - AI's future role in the human spaceflight program may be one in which humans focus on the hard parts, like directing robots in a natural way while the machines operate autonomously and give the humans a high-level summary. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/12/unite-day2-2/ 17 comments space
- AI: In contrast to automation, augmentation presumes that smart humans and smart machines can coexist and create better outcomes than either could alone. AI systems may perform some health care tasks with limited human intervention, thereby freeing clinicians to perform higher-level tasks. https://catalyst.nejm.org/ai-technologies-augmentation-healthcare-decisions/ 5 comments science
- Human may not have evolved to suffer a low-carbohydrate diet: The human body, which scientists report in a new study, rapidly evolved mechanisms to be a better carb-consuming machine. Animals, including humans, have amylase in their saliva to detect carbs when they’re in their mouths. https://www.inverse.com/article/55931-low-carb-diets-keto-paleo-atkins 15 comments science
