    Google's Project Suncatcher to put ML infrastructure in space●Google’s Project Suncatcher to put ML infrastructure in spaceYhnTechnology23246 min ago

    Google has announced Project Suncatcher, a research initiative exploring the deployment of machine learning infrastructure in space. The plan involves placing solar-powered computing hardware, including TPUs, on satellites to take advantage of near-constant sunlight and reduce terrestrial energy demands for AI. The initiative remains in early testing stages, with prototype launches planned, and observers are debating its technical feasibility and costs.

    NotebookLM turns research notes into podcast, changing skeptic's mind▼NotebookLM turned my research notes into a podcast and I changed my mind about AI note tools. Google's NotebookLM takesMmastodonTechnology23 h ago

    Google's NotebookLM is winning over users who were skeptical of AI note-taking tools. The tool takes personal notes and documents, then lets users ask questions, generate summaries, and create podcast-style audio overviews from them. One researcher described trying it on their research notes and coming away with a changed opinion, though noting real learning still comes from writing notes yourself.

    Google report examines AI's growing role in science●AI in Science - scientists use it lot, which can then be reused by the AI models. https:// ai.google/static/documents/AIMmastodonTechnologyAI25 h ago

    Google has published 'AI in Science: Early Insights', a 42-page report by researchers including Mihai Codreanu, Alex Imas, Juan Mateos-Garcia, Joseph Emmens, Evalyne Muiruri, Arthur Turrell and Julian Jacobs. It looks at how heavily scientists are using AI in their work and how the outputs of that research can in turn be reused to train future AI models, creating a feedback loop between science and machine learning.

    Phishing Warning Issued for Google Docs Drawing Link▼Possible Phishing 🎣 on: ⚠️hxxps[:]//docs[.]google[.]com/drawings/d/1gpJivSsThHrL10szmVZFyBMdW6Lmi6oghTnGmLmgQBk/edit 🧬 AMmastodonTechnologyCybersecurity18 h ago

    Cybersecurity researchers are flagging a malicious Google Docs Drawings link being used in a suspected phishing campaign. The URL has been defanged and submitted for automated analysis on the urlDNA scanning platform, which examines page behavior and infrastructure for signs of fraud. Security professionals are sharing the warning to alert others not to open the link and to illustrate how attackers abuse trusted Google services to lend credibility to scams.

    A Google researcher says LeetCode-style puzzles should not be used to assess senior engineering candidates, arguing that algorithm drills measure practice rather than real research or design ability. The claim has reignited the long-running debate over technical hiring, with many engineers agreeing that take-home projects and past work reveal more, while others defend standardized coding challenges as fair and scalable.
