Tesla's Newest Electric Vehicle Could Jolt the Trucking Industry (9 minute read)
Early reviews of the Tesla Semi suggest it could be a much-needed hit for the company. It is much less expensive than competing heavy-duty electric trucks and can travel farther. Cost and range are two of the main reasons that many logistics and delivery firms have been reluctant to buy electric trucks. Trucking firms in California have asked the state government for subsidies to help them buy more than 1,200 Tesla trucks, more applications than for all other electric trucks since the state's incentive program began in 2019.

Two AI-based science assistants succeed with drug-retargeting tasks (12 minute read)
Nature recently released two papers that describe AI systems intended to help scientists develop and test hypotheses. Google's Co-Scientist is designed to keep scientists in the loop, so researchers have to regularly apply their judgment to direct the system. FutureHouse's system can evaluate biological data from specific classes of experiments. Both models are designed to process massive amounts of information to create largely straightforward hypotheses, like whether a drug will work for a specific condition.
