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 ...
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.

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 ...
California requires operating system providers to implement age verification for users. This law, Assembly Bill No. 1043, aims to provide a signal regarding a user's age bracket to applications available in a covered application store.
OpenAI raises funds in a new round, partnering with Amazon and Nvidia for infrastructure development. The company plans to use the funds to scale AI infrastructure and meet growing demand.
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.
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.
The United States is shifting away from cash and towards electronic payments, with cards and other forms of digital transactions dominating everyday commerce. The history of ATMs began with token-based machines in the 1960s, which evolved into modern online ATMs in the 1970s with the introduction of IBM's System/360 and the 2984 Cash Issuing Terminal.

Croatia is officially free of landmines after a 31-year effort that cost 208 lives and 1.2 billion euros. The country has removed 107,000 mines and 407,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance.
The user created a fuzzer to test an optimizer's correctness by generating random programs and checking for heap consistency between optimized and un-optimized versions. The fuzzer revealed an aliasing problem in the optimizer when its main load-bearing pillar of correctness was commented out.
Anthropic's AI model Claude may be restricted in US military contracts due to a supply chain risk designation by the Department of War. This action does not affect individual customers or commercial contracts, only Department of War contractors.
The user is exploring Bootc and OSTree for managing Linux systems, finding them to be a modern and efficient solution for deployment and updates. They successfully deployed Fedora Silverblue on a server using Bootc and OSTree, and set up a CI/CD pipeline to automate updates and ensure consistency between the image and the deployed system.

The Web streams standard has fundamental usability and performance issues that cannot be fixed with incremental improvements, including locking models, BYOB reads, backpressure, and promise-heavy design, which add complexity and overhead. Implementers have resorted to non-standard internal optimizations to achieve acceptable performance, leading to fragmentation, inconsistent behavior, and a ...
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced a revised Artemis moon program plan, adding a 2027 test flight to lay groundwork for lunar landings. The revised plan aims to accelerate launches and reduce risk by testing technologies in low-Earth orbit before attempting moon landings.
A Chinese influence operation used ChatGPT to intimidate dissidents abroad, including by impersonating US immigration officials and spreading false information. OpenAI banned the user after discovering the activity, which involved hundreds of operators and thousands of fake online accounts.

In the 1930s in the Upper Nile region of what is now South Sudan, anthropologist EE Evans-Pritchard met a Nuer woman sitting by a thatched hut with her children. In the distance, the father of her ...
Researchers propose Package Calculus, a unified formalism for dependency resolution across diverse package managers, enabling translation and resolution across ecosystems. This formalism models real-world package managers' diversity and addresses fragmentation in multilingual projects.
Researchers analyzed TPMS transmissions from 12 cars and found that they can infer sensitive information such as driver habits and car type. This vulnerability can be exploited by malicious actors with affordable equipment, urging policymakers to improve TPMS security.
Debugging complex issues can be challenging due to the lack of visibility into the exact sequence of events leading up to a crash. An effect system that records and replays interactions deterministically can provide a clear execution trace, making it easier to identify and fix issues without compromising user privacy.

The user has found that Emacs' eshell is a better fit for their workflow than traditional shells like Zshell and Bash, due to its integration with Emacs and Lisp-like syntax. They have customized eshell with their own predicates and modifiers, including one to filter files based on their internal Org #+tags entry, and have also made improvements to eshell's behavior, such as farming out ...
A neural network puzzle was created to test mechanistic interpretability, where the goal was to figure out what the network does by analyzing its structure. The puzzle was solved by Alex, who used a combination of analysis, reduction, and brute force to discover that the network was computing an MD5 hash.
User data is at risk when passkeys are used for encryption, not just authentication.
Claude Code file recovery tool recovers lost files from JSONL session transcripts. It replays Write, Edit, and Read operations to reconstruct files in chronological order.
