At just 25, James Clerk Maxwell tackled the mystery of Saturn’s rings for the Adams Prize. While many believed the rings were solid or fluid, Maxwell proved both would be unstable. He concluded they must be made of countless small particles orbiting Saturn at different speeds,

During a conference in London, Bertrand Russell was approached by a young student who looked very frustrated. She said, “Mr. Russell, I’ve read about logic, mathematics, and philosophy, but the more I study, the more doubts I have. It feels like everything I learn is taking me

“We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow, biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation. The Earth and the Sun have life expectancies of many more

"Meta-Harness: End-to-End Optimization of Model Harnesses" A big portion of agentic LLM performance relies on human-designed harness around the model, not just the weights. On top of that, how well a harness is designed could impact a model's performance heavily. So this paper

Around the Moon and Back in Ten Days There is a rocket on Launch Pad 39B in Florida. 98 meters tall. 2.6 million kilograms. It leaves the ground April 1st with four people aboard. They will fly around the Moon and be home in ten days. No human has done anything like it since

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress." Captain Eric Moody’s voice was calm, but the circumstances…they were

Agent harnesses are too restrictive. That's because they're still designed as code. What if the harness itself were written in natural language and interpreted by an LLM at runtime? This research explores the idea. The work introduces Natural-Language Agent Harnesses (NLAHs),

In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that most galaxies are moving away from us. This showed that the universe is expanding. A simple way to imagine this is like a loaf of raisin bread rising in the oven. The raisins (galaxies) move apart not because they’re traveling through the

The Lyapunov equation ✍️ It is a powerful matrix equation described by AᵀQ + QA = -R. Here, A and R are known matrices, while Q is the unknown symmetric matrix we need to determine. Instead of computing the eigenvalues of A, which can be tough for large systems, we rewrite the

A Russian mathematician named Andrei Markov proved in 1906 that you don't need to know where something came from to predict where it's going next. He was studying poetry at the time. Specifically, he was analyzing the sequence of vowels and consonants in Pushkin's novel in

This 1-hour MIT lecture by Jim Simons is like getting a masterclass from Kasparov - except the board is financial market. Quant King reveals more about quant trading than most Wall Street players pick up in an entire career. Bookmark it. Watch it. Then read the article below.

Math, physics: endless landscape. "Taxonomy of Principal Distances and Divergences" — ranging from Euclidean Geometry (upper left) to Quantum and Matrix Geometry (lower right). By Frank Nielsen, Frank Nielsen, franknielsen.github.io/Divergence/ind…, Used by permission

In 1683, the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli made an important discovery while thinking about money and interest. He was studying what happens when interest is added not just once a year, but again and again in smaller and smaller steps. As he followed this idea further, he

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

“SKILL0: In-Context Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Skill Internalization” Most agent systems use skills like cheat sheets. It retrieves them at runtime, pastes them into the prompt, and hopes the model follows them. This paper suggests why not train the model with those

🚨 BREAKING: Purdue built an AI system that automatically fact-checks scientific papers, and used it to dismantle a quantum computing breakthrough claim. Analysts with zero quantum expertise fed the paper in. The AI found undisclosed conflicts of interest, cherry-picked data,
