OpenAI used an unreleased model to solve the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems. A NYU professor accused OpenAI of copying his team's work without permission or proper credit.
Copyright laws harm individuals and small businesses, instead protecting large corporations' monopolies. They're abused to restrict content sharing and property use, with special exceptions for large corporations.
A mathematician collaborated with a Large Language Model (LLM) to solve the Navier-Stokes problem, but OpenAI claims to have solved it first. The LLM was used to push the collaboration's work from rough forcing to smooth forcing and incompressible Euler equations.
Researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have developed a method to determine if pottery is ancient or not by analyzing its magnetic signatures, which can help weed out forged artifacts. The technique involves heating samples and measuring when their weak signals disappear, leaving only the stronger thermal remanent magnetization signal.
The author built a custom firmware for the Xteink e-ink display to enable wireless printing from their MacBook using the Internet Printing Protocol. They successfully implemented this feature, allowing them to print documents directly onto the device's screen.
Scientists have developed the AlphaGenome Atlas, a database predicting effects of single nucleotide variants in the human genome. The Atlas helps researchers quickly prioritize promising research areas by providing an easy-to-use score for coding and non-coding regions.
Mercury 2.5 is the latest production model from Inception, offering a 40% increase in intelligence and comparable cost to GPT-5.6 Luna, with prices starting at $0.04 per million input and output requests.
The Partner microcomputer was a Slovenian-made computer developed in the 1980s, combining international components and designs. It was designed by Satherley Design Associates and manufactured by Peerless Foam Moulding, with its distinctive case also used for other computers like the Logitech LG-10.
Lee Holloway, a co-founder of Cloudflare, was a brilliant engineer who created several key technologies before being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) at age 36. He left the company in 2016 due to his illness and has since become an advocate for FTD research and awareness.
gpu-lexer is a language-agnostic code highlighting tool that uses a tiny WebGPU model to label parts of source code, combining local and whole-file context. It achieves 87.43% agreement with Shiki on held-out token labels across various languages and file types.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Thoughtworks engineers explored using gen AI for software development by building an airline IROps system in 4 days, discovering a "blackboard" pattern where agents coordinated through shared plans and progress updates. This accidental discovery led to the creation of Talwrn, a tool aiming to provide a simple communication channel for agentic engineering projects.
The author discusses a theory that Ganon's name may be connected to the Kamen Rider villain Gel Shocker, specifically through the character Ganikomoru. This theory suggests that the Gerudo people in Zelda series may have originated from Geldam, a group from Kamen Rider.
Mathematicians are collecting open problems in a non-renewable way, potentially leading to scarcity. Most generated problems are trivial or unproductive, while few hold the potential for breakthroughs and connections.
The biggest bottleneck to AI adoption is the discovery problem, where users don't know what capabilities an AI system can offer until they interact with it. Current solutions like templates and context help but still require users to have a clear understanding of their needs.
Researchers at OpenAI have developed a proof that the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid motion can develop a singularity in finite time, resolving one of the Millennium Prize Problems. The solution involves an internal model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra and demonstrates the potential for AI to advance research and technology benefiting humanity.
The author tested various GPU RAM requirements for running Qwen3.8 27B without sacrificing quality, finding that a 24 GB card like RTX 4090 can handle the full BF16 model with some context reduction.
This text discusses various techniques for creating non-photorealistic renderings of 3D models, including contour drawing, hatching, and line rendering. Researchers have developed methods to stylize silhouettes and outlines using algorithms such as chaining, visibility, and principal curvature directions.
Kenton Varda and Jade Wang, a married couple with two kids, designed and built their house from scratch in Austin, Texas. The house features custom-built gaming stations with 22 game machines that cost around $75,000.
ChatGPT Images 2.5 is a new state-of-the-art image model that offers sharper details, more precise editing, and faster generation for creative workflows. The updated model provides more control over the creative process with features like Sketch, templates, and improved editing capabilities.
The author refactored the Plush language interpreter's Value type to use a low-bit tagging scheme, reducing memory usage by up to 37% in some benchmarks. The new representation is faster than the old one, with every single benchmark ending up faster.
The PHPBB 1.4.4 script can be run on modern systems with patches, including changes to MySQL and PHP settings. The installation requires config.php to be writable during setup, which is set by the Dockerfile for compatibility reasons.
