After a road accident, most people won’t have a cool enough head to do everything exactly right. They may forget which number to call for an emergency, or they may wait too long to call it. The accident may have been so severe that they are unable to call for help themselves, either because they are unconscious or trapped.

But starting today, drivers in Europe won’t have to worry about that scenario because new cars will be equipped with a technology called eCall, through which vehicles will call the police themselves after a road accident.

Reptile: A Scalable Meta-Learning Algorithm

We’ve developed a simple meta-learning algorithm called Reptile which works by repeatedly sampling a task, performing stochastic gradient descent on it, and updating the initial parameters towards the final parameters learned on that task. This method performs as well as MAML, a broadly applicable meta-learning algorithm, while being simpler to implement and more computationally efficient.

Will the world ever be ready for solar geoengineering?

The first time Frank Keutsch heard about solar geoengineering, he thought the idea was terrifying. To the Harvard University atmospheric chemist, schemes such as spraying millions of tons of sulfate particles into the sky to reflect the sun’s rays and cool the planet seemed perilous. Not only might the strategies disrupt the atmosphere in unexpected ways, but they might also dramatically alter the weather and harm the lives of Earth’s inhabitants.
