Routine sleep studies held hidden risk signals that standard sleep apnea scoring missed. An AI model identified five groups, and the highest-risk group had twice the 5-year mortality risk of the lowest-risk group. doi.org/hcdgnb

AI identifies previously unrecognized health insights in routine sleep studies

A novel AI model can use information collected during routine sleep studies to identify patients' long-term health risks, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.

Within-host gene transfer drives tobramycin resistance

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 03 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-026-01355-2In a recent study, Karash and colleagues provide evidence for a resistance mechanism in which plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance genes are horizontally transferred from transiently infecting bacteria to antibiotic-sensitive pathogens residing in patients’ lungs.

Nature research paper: A digitally controlled silicon quantum processing unit go.nature.com/4bhtkfX

A digitally controlled silicon quantum processing unit - Nature

A silicon quantum processing unit executes high-fidelity multiqubit circuits, with all time-varying control signals generated by a digitally programmed cryogenic complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor controller and delivered to the low-noise, exchange-only qubit device through a high-density superconducting ribbon cable.

Alibaba’s Qwen3.8-Max is out, a frontier model they say is competitive with Anthropic’s Fable. It’s a 2.4T parameter model with a 1M context window and will open source the weights next week. Following so shortly after the release of Kimi K3, it’s hard to claim China is months behind the US in AI.

Kudos to @science.org for this self-analysis of the peer review process. These kind of data are never shared and don't have to be. Wildly refreshing to see it out in the open. Editorial and peer review dynamics at elite general science journals | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“The AI assistant, which Kinney Drugs named Burt, after its founder, was built by a third-party AI pharmaceutical company, Synerio. In the pharmacy’s terms, Kinney Drugs states that ‘Burt may not be accurate, complete or up-to-date and may be misleading or contain errors and omissions.’”

The new stateless MCP specification has rekindled my interest in MCP, and inspired some new projects, including mcp-explorer and datasette-mcp simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/31/...

Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest (and inspired mcp-explorer and datasette-mcp)

Tuesday was Stateless MCP day—the rollout of MCP 2.0, or the 2026-07-28 Model Context Protocol specification to use the more formal but less memorable name. This is the most significant …

Nature did a short piece on our preprint about how LLMs will affect the practice of science; my more detailed thread is below.

Scientists using LLMs will ‘do more, less well’, modelling study predicts

Research suggests that the combination of incentives to publish and the use of large language models will lead to more papers, but they will be less refined.

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

10,000 fewer on-street car parking spaces. That's the pledge from Amsterdam's new coalition government over the next four years. While many cities still argue whether change is possible, Amsterdam is reclaiming its public realm one tree, bench, bike rack, terrace, playground, and garden at a time.

Should we settle this debate once and for all? If every part of a ship has been changed, is it still the same ship? Then, if someone took all the old planks and rebuilt them into another ship, which one would be the "real" ship? Sail to more context about the Ship of Theseus  ➡️ w.wiki/FZB

A Greek vase illustration with text presenting the Ship of Theseus thought experiment about whether a boat remains the same after every plank has been replaced over time.
