Reversing memory loss via gut-brain communication

https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/03/gut-brain-cognitive-decline/_jcr_content/main/article/layoutcontainer_2051415601/image.coreimg.png/1773166159924/thaiss.png
Researchers at Stanford Medicine and the Arc Institute found that the gut microbiome plays a critical role in age-related cognitive decline. They discovered that stimulating the vagus nerve can restore memory function in old mice, suggesting a potential treatment for age-related cognitive decline.

ATMs didn't kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fJgh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff030282b-ee45-446b-b58e-fd8789922d73_2048x1385.jpeg
J D Vance's claim that ATMs didn't displace bank tellers is true, but it's because ATMs were a complementary technology that increased demand for tellers to focus on relationship banking. The real reason bank teller employment declined was the rise of mobile banking, enabled by the iPhone, which made physical bank branches and tellers obsolete.

Document poisoning in RAG systems: How attackers corrupt AI's sources

https://aminrj.com/assets/media/ai-security/document-poisoning-in-rag-systems.png
Knowledge base poisoning is a real threat where attackers inject fabricated documents into a knowledge base to manipulate LLM responses, making it a persistent and invisible attack. Embedding anomaly detection at ingestion is the most effective defense layer, reducing the attack's success rate from 95% to 20% in a local lab test.

Forcing Flash Attention onto a TPU and Learning the Hard Way

https://archerzhang.me/assets/imgs/systolic-array-overview.png
The author attempted to port a GPU-optimized flash attention algorithm to a TPU, but it performed catastrophically worse due to the TPU's hardware architecture and compiler optimizations. However, by using JAX's vmap function to express the algorithm's independence, the author achieved a 45x speedup and beat the TPU's fused standard attention path at large sizes.
