AI that talks to itself learns faster and smarter
Site: ScienceDaily
AI may learn better when it’s allowed to talk to itself. Researchers showed that internal “mumbling,” combined with short-term memory, helps AI adapt to new tasks, switch goals, and handle complex challenges more easily. This approach boosts learning efficiency while using far less training data. It could pave the way for more flexible, human-like AI systems.

Scientists teach microorganisms to build molecules with light
Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make products that are useful for humans and society. In a new proof-of-concept study, a team from the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology showed they can expand the biosynthetic capabilities of these microbes by using light to help access new types of chemical transformations.

Quote of the day by Thomas Jefferson: 'I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it' - The Economic Times Added: Jan 31, 2026
Quote of the day by Thomas Jefferson: 'I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it' - The Economic Times
Thomas Jeffersons famous line, “Im a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it,” emphasizes that success is often the result of consistent effort rather than chance. The quote reframes luck as a product of preparation, persistence, and personal responsibility, highlighting discipline and commitment as key factors in achieving results. Jeffersons own life reflects this philosophy: born into a well-educated planter family in Virginia, he built his career through study, law, political service, and diplomacy.
In a time when conversations around success often focus on privilege, timing, and opportunity, historical voices continue to shape how effort and achievement are understood. Quotes from political leaders and thinkers are frequently revisited to explain modern ideas of work culture, discipline, and ambition. One such line, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, stands out for its simple but firm connection between effort and outcomes, offering perspective on how success is often built rather than discovered.“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”The quote suggests that luck is not entirely accidental but is closely linked to persistence and preparation. Instead of portraying success as something that arrives unexpectedly, Jefferson’s words argue that consistent effort increases the chances of favorable results. The statement reframes luck as a consequence of action, implying that people who remain committed to their work are more likely to encounter opportunities.The idea also reflects a practical outlook on life. Jefferson’s message does not dismiss chance altogether but places responsibility on the individual. By emphasizing work, the quote highlights discipline and responsibility as key factors behind progress. This interpretation has allowed the line to remain relevant in discussions around career growth, leadership, and personal development.127796602 Jefferson’s Early Life and FoundationsAccording to the White House Historical Association, Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743, in Albemarle County, Virginia, to Jane and Peter Jefferson. His father was a successful planter and surveyor, and Jefferson inherited land and enslaved individuals at a young age. Raised within the planter class, he received a strong education and later attended the College of William & Mary, where he pursued studies rooted in Enlightenment thinking.Jefferson trained as a lawyer and entered public life early, serving in the Virginia House of Burgesses. His rise was shaped by years of study, writing, and political engagement rather than sudden advancement, aligning closely with the belief expressed in his quote.127545695 Role in the American Revolution and GovernanceAs tensions with Great Britain escalated, Jefferson was elected to the Continental Congress. In 1776, he authored the Declaration of Independence, drawing on political philosophy and Enlightenment ideals. He later served in the Virginia House of Delegates, worked on revising state laws, and authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which was passed in 1786.Jefferson also served as Governor of Virginia and later as U.S. Minister to France, where he witnessed early developments of the French Revolution. According to BBC accounts, his diplomatic experience influenced his views on governance and international relations.Presidency and Lasting ImpactJefferson became the third President of the United States in 1801. During his two terms, he reduced national debt, avoided foreign wars, and completed the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the country’s size. He also authorised the Lewis and Clark expedition, expanding knowledge of the American West.Despite advocating liberty, Jefferson enslaved over 600 people during his lifetime, a contradiction documented by both the White House Historical Association and BBC. After leaving office, he retired to Monticello, helped establish the University of Virginia, and sold his personal library to rebuild the Library of Congress.Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, fifty years after the Declaration of Independence was adopted. His quote on luck and hard work, when viewed alongside his life, reflects a belief shaped by sustained effort, ambition, and long-term engagement—one that continues to be discussed in modern conversations about success and responsibility.Beyond politics, Thomas Jefferson was deeply invested in education, culture, and intellectual life. As a young man, he was known for spending long hours studying classical languages, science, philosophy, and law, while also practicing music daily, particularly the violin. His personal library reflected these wide-ranging interests, and in 1815, he sold nearly 6,700 books to the federal government to replace volumes destroyed when the British burned the U.S. Capitol during the War of 1812, forming the foundation of the modern Library of Congress. In his later years, Jefferson considered the establishment of the University of Virginia one of his most meaningful achievements, reflecting his long-held belief that education was essential to the survival of a democratic society.
