Despite Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle, recent data suggests the pattern is becoming more extended due to macroeconomic developments like maturing U.S. corporate debt. Analysts now believe that the cryptocurrency’s next major price peak will likely occur later than predicted, with signs pointing to 2026. Bitcoin’s Traditional Four-Year Cycle and Why It May Now Be Longer The Bitcoin halving, which occurs every four years, has historically been followed by bull markets. After the 2012 event, BTC’s price surged to $1,000, then climbed toward $20,000 following the 2016 halving, and reached around $69,000 in 2020. This recurring pattern has made the market…

Launching a startup can feel like jumping out of a plane: exhilarating, but with no parachute if no one’s there to catch you. Building hype before you launch your startup is the parachute – it turns silence into anticipation and brings early adopters knocking on your door. Research shows 90% of startups fail, often because they don’t get any initial traction. By contrast, creating buzz and excitement early can put you in the winning 10%. Day 0 marketing is your moat – meaning you start promoting from the very first day, long before the launch date. In short, when you…
Human attention is intricately linked with and shapes decision-making behavior, such as subjective preferences and ratings. Yet prior research has often studied these in isolation. For example, there’s a large body of work on predictive models of human attention, which are known to be useful for various applications, ranging from reducing visual distraction to optimizing interaction designs and faster (progressive) rendering of very large images. Additionally, there’s a separate body of work on models of explicit, later-stage decision-making behavior such as subjective preferences and aesthetic quality.Recently, we began to focus our research on whether we can simultaneously predict different types…

The relationships between a population of people, their health outcomes, and their local contexts can be very complex. Nevertheless, developing an understanding of these population dynamics can be crucial for addressing complex social problems, such as disease, economic security, disaster response, and much more. Despite the importance, however, accurate predictions for these population dynamics have been elusive for decades and remain a challenge for researchers, policymakers, and businesses.Traditional approaches to understanding population dynamics tend to rely on data from censuses, surveys, or satellite imagery. While valuable, these types of data each have their own unique shortcomings. Censuses, though comprehensive, are…
The successful application of machine learning to understand the behavior of complex real-world systems from healthcare to climate requires robust methods for processing time series data. This type of data is made up of streams of values that change over time, and can represent topics as varied as a patient’s ECG signal in the ICU or a storm system moving across the Earth.Highly capable multimodal foundation models, such as Gemini Pro, have recently burst onto the scene and are able to reason not only about text, like the large language models (LLMs) that preceded them, but also about other modalities…
