It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very

This paper is wild - a Stanford team shows the simplest way to make an open LLM into a reasoning model. They used just 1,000 carefully curated reasoning examples & a trick where if the model tries to stop thinking, they append "Wait" to force it to continue. Near o1 at math.

If AI models have real use cases, they report those. If they don’t have use cases, they report API revenue. If they don’t have revenue, they report usage volume. If they don’t have usage, they report benchmarks. If they don’t have benchmarks, they report LMArena ranking. If they

There's new and alarming evidence that phthalate (forever chemical) exposure is a major source of death from cardiovascular disease around the world. Some statistics from 2018 alone: • 14% of all CVD-related deaths (356,238 total) due to plastic exposure among adults 55-64

Scientists at CERN have turned lead into gold Using the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator they've achieved what ancient alchemists only dreamed of, transforming lead atoms into gold through high-energy physics.

It is trivial to explain why a LLM can never ever be conscious or intelligent. Utterly trivial. It goes like this - LLMs have zero causal power. Zero agency. Zero internal monologue. Zero abstracting ability. Zero understanding of the world. They are tools for conscious beings.

AI data centers are driving up America's energy demand for the first time in a decade. Fusion could be the clean, safe, and abundant alternative—but can we make it work at scale? We take a look at what it would take.

Mark Zuckerberg: “You can’t 80/20 everything” When Facebook first launched, a user’s profile included things like the dorm they lived in and the courses they were taking. Paul Graham asks Mark if he thinks Facebook would’ve worked without these features, to which Mark replies:
