Werner Herzog's book The Future of Truth is a disappointing collection of repurposed passages and anecdotes that fail to provide insight into his concept of ecstatic truth. The book's failure to achieve its goal suggests that Herzog may not want to understand what he means by "ecstatic truth" in order to preserve the need to quest after it.
We reached an agreement with the Pentagon for deploying AI systems in classified environments with guardrails to prevent misuse. Our approach includes a cloud-only deployment, safety stack, and OpenAI personnel in the loop to ensure responsible use.
Demian Goos, a mathematician and journalist, discovered a lost letter from Georg Cantor's estate that proved Cantor's famous 1874 paper on infinity was an act of plagiarism. The letter, believed to be lost during World War II, showed Cantor had collaborated with Richard Dedekind on the paper.
Implementing a subset of the Wolfram Language for CLI scripting and notebooks, focusing on speed and efficiency. Woxi runs faster than WolframScript with Rust-based implementation and supports a subset of Wolfram Language functions.

Altman signed a deal with Amodei after publicly supporting him, while rejecting similar terms from Anthropic due to campaign contributions. This move was seen as punitive and favoring Amodei over Anthropic.
A Belgian pilot shared his wistful thoughts about flying the 747, feeling no improvement after 20 years. He now works at an AI lab and feels like a pilot, relying on coding agents to implement features, but worries about losing skills and knowledge.

Famitsu magazine's charts show Ghosts'n Goblins was the #1 game in Japan and UK in 1986. The game's home versions, developed by Elite Systems, were well-received in the UK, with the Commodore 64 version praised for its faithfulness to the arcade original.
Google and OpenAI employees can sign a letter anonymously or publicly, with verified signatures displayed. The letter aims to find common ground on AI misuse, with signatures manually reviewed by one person for authenticity.
I vividly remember my first meeting with György Kurtág. It was 40 or so years ago at the International Musicians Seminar in Prussia Cove, Cornwall. I was sitting in the dining hall there, when a man with grizzled hair and an unusually fervent countenance came up to me and, with barely any introduction, started talking about my pizzicato playing in a performance he’d heard of the Schubert ...
Unsloth Dynamic 2.0 quantization outperforms leading methods, preserving accuracy in LLMs. It now supports all models, including non-MoEs, with custom-tailored quantization schemes.
A diffusion model navigates a vast space of possible images to produce coherent results by starting with random noise and gradually removing it. The model uses a prompt's embedding space as a compass to guide its journey, with the guidance scale controlling how strongly it follows the prompt.
Context Mode compresses tool outputs by 98% and reduces context window consumption by 72%. This allows users to work 6x longer before context degradation, increasing session time from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
The history of software development shows a pattern of tools promising to simplify creation and eliminate the need for programmers, but ultimately creating new categories of work and demand for specialized developers. Despite the hype, the fundamental challenge of translating human intent into correct, efficient, and maintainable software remains unchanged, and human skills such as ...
The speaker argues that we are raising a new species with AI, which lacks millions of years of evolution and biological hardware for empathy, and therefore we need to install morality in AI from scratch, but this is a difficult task that may be mathematically impossible. The speaker believes that the real problem is not AI itself, but rather our own human limitations, such as our inability to ...
OpenAI fired an employee for using confidential information on prediction markets, including Polymarket, violating company policies. Suspicious insider trades on Polymarket and other platforms have been flagged, raising concerns about insider knowledge being used for personal gain.
US and Israel launched a massive military campaign in Iran targeting its ballistic missiles and missile launchers. The attack follows weeks of US-Iran negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and threats from President Trump.
SmartKNN is a nearest-neighbor–based learning method that belongs to the broader KNN family of algorithms. SmartKNN incorporates data-driven feature importance estimation, dimension suppression, and adaptive neighbor search strategies. Depending on dataset characteristics, it can operate using either a brute-force search or an approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) backend, while exposing a ...
The fiscal and monetary authority determines the size and composition of government spending. the fed purchases treasury securities from the market, which indirectly finances government spend a higher interest rate if the debt would otherwise require higher rates of interest - daniel g. hoffman argues this is not permanent, but as long as the fed maintains credibility, the treasury is ...

User data is at risk when passkeys are used for encryption, not just authentication.
Based on some comments on my Mastodon post, this only works due to a bug in macOS 15.7.3! The 90 day period isn't supposed to be a rolling date, but 90 days from release date. So it should have no impact…but it does, so I hope Apple doesn't fix the bug. Although I have to have a machine running macOS Tahoe to support our customers, I personally don't like the look of Liquid Glass, ...
NanoClaw uses container isolation to ensure AI agents are untrusted and can't access each other's data. Its architecture contains the damage when agents misbehave, providing hermetic security through mount restrictions and filesystem isolation.
The challenge is to build the smallest transformer that can add two 10-digit numbers with >= 99% accuracy using a held-out 10K test set, with constraints on architecture, training, and inference. The current smallest model has 36 parameters, achieved using hand-coded weights and ALiBi compression with a 2-layer decoder.
Marriage customs vary widely across cultures, with some societies practicing monogamy, polygyny, or other forms of marriage, often driven by factors such as resource management, wealth, and social status. The evolution of marriage has been shaped by factors like farming, inequality, and changes in wealth and inheritance, leading to diverse forms of marriage and relationships around the world.
