Microsoft’s AI push is paying off, and LinkedIn is part of the story.
Microsoft stock rose in after-hours trading Wednesday after first quarter earnings per share of $4.89 and revenue of $92.28 billion topped expectations of $4.73 and $90.63 billion. Azure sales climbed 48% to $33.17 billion.
CEO Satya Nadella also pointed to LinkedIn, saying 25,000 customers now use its agentic hiring solutions.
"Recruiters using a hiring assistant are finding interview-quality applicants 33% faster, while reviewing 83% fewer profiles to find qualified matches." — Nadella

IMAX screens were less than 1% of the screens showing The Odyssey this summer. They took 20% of its opening box office.
People flew across countries and waited weeks for a seat, and Nolan's film made IMAX nearly as big a story as the film itself.
We went deep on how IMAX turned a format almost no cinema could show into a business Hollywood now builds around.

Sabrina Pasterski has been described as the next Einstein, and perhaps that's no surprise given how mind-bending – and potentially transformative – her ideas are.

Why do bees always build hexagonal cells instead of squares or triangles?
Among every way to partition the plane into equal-area regions, the regular hexagon minimizes total perimeter. For inradius r, area A = 2√3 r² and perimeter P = 4√3 r, so wax used is proportional to 4√3 r t. Thomas C. Hales proved the honeycomb theorem in 1999: this tiling stores the most honey with the least wax.
The same principle drives efficient packing in materials science, architecture, and computer graphics.
Nature solved an optimization problem long before the proof existed.
Where have you seen hexagonal efficiency outside biology?
