An operational AI forecasting model developed by Hertfordshire University researchers aims to improve resource efficiency within healthcare.Public sector organisations often hold large archives of historical data that do not inform forward-looking decisions. A partnership between the University of Hertfordshire and regional NHS health bodies addresses this issue by applying machine learning to operational planning. The project analyses healthcare demand to assist managers with decisions regarding staffing, patient care, and resources.Most AI initiatives in healthcare focus on individual diagnostics or patient-level interventions. The project team notes that this tool targets system-wide operational management instead. This distinction matters for leaders evaluating where…

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also post a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months. Please send us your events for inclusion.ICRA 2026: 1–5 June 2026, VIENNAEnjoy today’s videos!No system is immune to failure. The compromise between reducing failures and improving adaptability is a recurring problem in robotics. Modular robots exemplify this tradeoff, because the number of modules dictates both the possible functions and the odds of failure. We reverse this trend, improving reliability with an increased number of modules by exploiting…

Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, discussed the ongoing push for the crypto legislation and the federal government’s management of Bitcoin during a Yahoo Finance interview earlier today, stressing the need for regulatory clarity and institutional engagement. Witt explained that the House passed its version of the Clarity Act last year, and the Senate is drafting its own amendments.  Sections of the bill addressing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have cleared the Agriculture Committee, while portions covering the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) remain in the Senate Banking Committee. A markup scheduled…

Aave Labs has asked tokenholders to approve a funding package worth about $50 million in exchange for redirecting all revenue from Aave-branded products to the Aave DAO treasury.The proposal includes up to $42.5 million in stablecoins — $25 million as a primary grant and $17.5 million tied to product milestones. It also includes 75,000 Aave (AAVE) tokens, worth about $8 million at the time of writing. The stablecoin grants, if approved, will be streamed over time, and milestone payments will be released upon product launches. In return, Aave Labs would route 100% of product-level revenue to the DAO. That includes fees…

Perpetual futures allow positions to stay open indefinitely, letting risk build over time. Losses increasingly stem from prolonged exposure, not sudden price moves. Contract design now plays a bigger role in risk than traditional entry and exit timing. In 2025, many retail traders realized that futures risk no longer followed a familiar lifecycle. Positions were no longer defined by clear start and end points, and losses were increasingly shaped by how long exposure was carried rather than by individual market moves. As non-expiring futures became the default contract type, traders began encountering risk that developed through persistence instead of resolution.…

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), compresses the key value (KV) cache, the temporary memory LLMs generate and store as they process prompts and reason through problems and documents.While researchers have proposed various methods to compress this cache before, most struggle to do so without degrading the model's intelligence. Nvidia's approach manages to discard much of the cache while maintaining (and in some cases improving) the model's reasoning capabilities.Experiments show that DMS enables LLMs to "think"…
