The Usefulness Gap in Proof-of-Useful-Work: An Empirical Study of Pearl's cuPOW Protocol
arXiv:2606.04819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pearl, a Layer-1 blockchain with high-profile AI industry endorsements, markets its Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) protocol as simultaneously securing the network and performing AI inference. We present the first systematic empirical measurement of a deployed PoUW system, finding that Pearl's 24 EH/s network -- representing approximately 320,000 GPU-equivalents consuming an estimated 112 MW -- produces zero useful AI computation. Budget GPU rental...

Bruce Pearl explains why he refuses to stay silent on Israel and antisemitism
Bruce Pearl has never been one to stay silent, whether on or off the court. The legendary former Auburn University men's basketball coach has used his platform for more than sports, becoming one of the most outspoken voices against antisemitism and in support of Israel. "Well, some people think it's political, but it's really not.
Molecular dynamics insights into biomineralisation mediated by acidic intrinsically disordered proteins: a case study of molluscan Aspein from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata
Biomineralisation is a ubiquitous phenomenon that still fascinates the scientific community. Mineralised structures are most notably encountered in marine lifeforms the shell or exoskeleton of which are formed by precipitating specific calcium carbonate (CaCO3) polymorphs, known as amorphous (ACC), vaterite, aragonite, and calcite. To control crystalline polymorphism in their shell layers, bivalves have evolved strategies involving ion-binding secretomes composed of shell matrix proteins (SMPs).
The Spurs’ secret weapon this postseason? A former coach offering pearls of wisdom
The San Antonio Spurs had just lost Game 3 of the Western Conference finals in demoralizing fashion. Oklahoma City had beaten them by 15 points on the Spurs’ home court to take a 2-1 series lead, and San Antonio decided to have a closed-door meeting immediately following the game. This wasn’t just any team meeting, though.

Welcome to Installer No. 130, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, don't forget to hydrate, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I've been reading about Victor Wembanyama and mahjong and Merlin Mann's pearls of wisdom, watching more of the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals than I expected, watching way too many videos about lighting a home studio, spending too many hours tweaking the settings...
Few-step Cofolding with All-Atom Flow Maps
Announce Type: new Abstract: All-atom generative modeling of 3D biomolecular complexes has emerged as the dominant paradigm for predicting the structure of proteins and protein-ligand systems. Generating structures at the atomic level of fidelity, however, typically requires expensive iterative diffusion rollouts, making both conventional deployment and inference-time search techniques computationally costly. In this paper, we introduce the Denoiser Cofolding All-Atom Flowmap (DeCAF)...
Tragic end for Aggarwal family: After losing 8 relatives in Delhi fire, 75-year-old dies at hospital
The Aggarwal family's tragic ordeal has come to a heartbreaking end. After losing eight members in the hotel fire that broke out in Delhi's Malviya Nagar last week, the family's sole survivor, 75-year-old Radhe Shyam Aggarwal, passed away on Tuesday, leaving no surviving members behind. What was meant to be a family gathering in support of an ailing loved one turned into an unimaginable tragedy that wiped out almost an entire branch of the Aggarwal family.
Delhi hotel fire: Family gathered for ailing elder; 8 of them are dead
NEW DELHI: What was a family gathering to spend time with a gravely ill elder — 75year-old Radheshyam, undergoing treatment for lung infection at Max Hospital, Saket — turned into a catastrophe for the Aggarwals. Eight of the family, all staying in the ill-fated hotel, died in the fire. Sitting in the waiting area of the hospital on Wednesday, relatives recalled how doctors had recently informed the family that Radheshyam did not have much time left.
