Webb Telescope: A Stellar Success in Space Exploration

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) requires ongoing alignment and calibration of its eighteen hexagonal mirrors to maintain optimal performance. This involves regular monitoring and adjustments to account for temperature variations and other factors, with the team having made over 25 corrections since the mission began. These efforts ensure that JWST continues to exceed specifications, allowing for better data collection from faint celestial objects.

Using Debate to Enhance AI Truth-Seeking Abilities

Researchers are exploring the use of debates between large language models (LLMs) to improve the accuracy and trustworthiness of AI systems. This approach involves two AI models debating a question, with a simpler model or human acting as a judge to determine the more accurate answer. Recent studies by Anthropic and Google DeepMind have shown that such debates can help judges, whether human or AI, recognize the truth more effectively. However, challenges remain, including biases in AI judgment and the complexity of tasks requiring nuanced understanding.

Rare planetary alignment visible with naked eye.

Five planets, including Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, will align in the night sky on March 28th, with four of them visible to the naked eye just after sunset across the western sky. Jupiter will be tricky to spot due to its close proximity to the sun, while Uranus will require a telescope to be seen. The next significant planetary arrangement will be in early September 2024.
