In a Daily Wire op-ed, novelist Gregg Hurwitz argues that social media algorithms are accelerating real‑world radicalization and outlines five fixes aimed at preserving free speech while reducing harm. He cites recent high‑profile attacks — including the killings of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, and activist Charlie Kirk — to illustrate the stakes.
Descriptive set theorists, who explore the niche mathematics of infinity, have found a way to rewrite their complex problems in the language of algorithms. This development bridges abstract math with practical computer science. The story originates from Quanta Magazine.

La congelazione degli ovuli ha registrato un aumento di 75 volte nelle donne che la scelgono in un decennio, spinta da pubblicità sui social media che usano algoritmi per promozioni mirate. Gli esperti avvertono che questa pubblicità privilegia il profitto rispetto a informazioni obiettive, aggiungendo pressione alle decisioni riproduttive. Pur offrendo un senso di controllo, non affronta le questioni sociali di fondo come il work-life balance.
A new study reveals that children as young as four years old naturally employ sorting algorithms when solving problems, suggesting these skills may be hardwired. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego observed this behavior in experiments with young kids. The findings challenge traditional views on how cognitive abilities develop.
