“Unlike language, where we don’t have mathematical models to describe what the next word should be, when it comes to physics, we do have those models. And what we’re seeing is that machine learning is actually quite good at computation, not just pattern recognition,” said co-founder Darren Garvey.

BeyondMath’s ‘digital wind tunnel’ puts a physics-based AI simulation to work on F1 cars

BeyondMath is working in the field of computational fluid dynamics, which attempts to digitally model how an object moves through water or air. But that’s a lot easier said than done — even with excessive computing power, these digital representations of complex physics are not wholly accurate. What makes BeyondMath different is that it’s simulating windy conditions by using machine learning, not just supercomputers, which could make these models more accurate.

Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

It's been four decades since Emmy-nominated actor Lloyd Haynes died of lung cancer at only 52 years old. Best known for his compassionate performance as history teacher Pete Dixon on television's groundbreaking, academic-geared dramedy, Room 222 (ABC, 1969-1974), Haynes was beloved by his fans, family, friends and colleagues alike. This is his story.

Renovate Robotics on Tuesday unveiled its latest rooftop robot, the Rufus V1. The system is a refinement of the prototypes the New York-based firm showcased earlier this year. It automates one of construction’s most common — and dangerous — tasks. The startup has clearly come a long way since we first covered it in May 2023, when its robot was made up of several DeWalt nail guns mounted to a gantry system.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

To get a roundup of TechCrunch’s biggest and most important fintech stories delivered to your inbox every Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. PT, subscribe here. Last week, I reported on Tally, a 9-year-old fintech that helped consumers manage and pay off their credit card debt, closing its doors after an unsuccessful attempt at securing more capital. After raising $172 million from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins, the news came as a bit of a shock to the fintech community. We don’t really know what exactly led to Tally’s demise, although some speculate it was in part due to high interest rates, but it’s sad news no matter what the cause. CEO and co-founder Jason Brown told me: “This decision was incredibly difficult, but I’m proud of what Tally accomplished over the years. … While Tally’s journey is ending, the drive to help people manage their debt more effectively continues, and I’m hopeful that others will build on what we started.”
