AI's rapid advancement and its impact on various sectors, including education and earnings, dominated headlines this week, alongside developments in public housing and a unique surf academy in Senegal. A new technique developed by researchers allows AI models to continue learning and adapt during the inference process, while a Vox article highlighted the potential of better-designed public housing to significantly boost the future earnings of low-income children.
According to a report, researchers at Stanford, Nvidia, and Together AI developed Test-Time Training to Discover (TTT-Discover), a novel technique that allows AI models to continue learning and adapt during the inference process. This approach enables the models to solve complex, out-of-distribution problems. The stock market experienced a rally driven by tech stocks, though the S&P 500 ended the week with losses, according to multiple sources.
Meanwhile, a surf academy in a Dakar fishing village, run by Black Girls Surf, was making waves by linking surfing with school attendance. The program provided surfing lessons, equipment, and evening classes, primarily targeting girls from traditional fishing communities who had previously dropped out or never enrolled in school, according to Euronews and other sources. This initiative was helping approximately 20 girls return to education.
In the realm of public housing, a Vox article discussed the surprising impact of better-designed public housing on low-income children's future earnings. The article highlighted how improved housing could potentially raise a low-income kid's future earnings by 50 percent. The era of big public housing projects in the US, which began in the 1930s and lasted until the 1960s, was a grand experiment.
Other headlines included a politicized fraud investigation and American athletes preparing for the Winter Olympics, according to Time and other sources. The upcoming HBO series "Industry" focusing on a fraudulent fintech company was also mentioned.
