Just sharing this 1958 NYT article about a perceptron. Quote: they hesitated to call it a machine because it is so much like a “human being without life.”

It’s refreshing how they don’t bother to bullshit us about freedom and justice any more. Yes, we are getting rid of the Palestinians so we can build hotels on their land. Yes, we are collapsing this government so our companies can loot their resources. This is what it always was.

If Americans want to act like they live in a democracy then they must accept their complicity in the crimes of their government. Can’t have it both ways

This AI craze made me realise there's a whole class of programmers who think programming is just about writing code. And that more experienced programmers just write code faster. They can't conceive that programming is anything more than that, so confidently proclaim that AI

Vibecoding financial products is a great way to meet new people. Today I met two lawyers, three police officers, a judge and nearly met Maduro.

In a 2020 research project code-named “Project Mercury,” scientists worked with survey firm Nielsen to gauge the effect of “deactivating” Facebook, according to Meta documents obtained via discovery. To the company’s disappointment, “people who stopped using Facebook for a week

Oh, you're writing CUDA kernels? Everyone's on Triton now. Just kidding, we're all on Mojo. We're using cuTile. We're using ROCm. We have an in-house DSL compiler targeting the NVGPU MLIR dialect but wait, Tile IR just dropped so we're going to target that instead. Our PM is on

Like David Bessis and others, I think that Hinton is wrong. To explain why, let me tell you a brief story. About a decade ago, in 2017, I developed an automated theorem-proving framework that was ultimately integrated into Mathematica (see: youtube.com/watch?v=mMaid2…) (1/15)

IMO it should be considered quite rude in most contexts to post or send someone a wall of 100% AI-generated text. “Here, read this thing I didn’t care enough about to express myself.”

The presence of a leading whitespace leaks the correct choice selection in the MMLU-Pro benchmark. Am I missing something? Seems to impact Chemistry, Physics, and Math. HF Issue in reply.

We need a better, more ambitious message when it comes to taxation. The rich *do not* fund our public services. We do. My latest for New Internationalist. "Now, once we understand that the main fiscal purpose of taxation is not to fund public services but to reduce excess

I have little doubt that AI tools will substantially change the way mathematics is done, likely pretty soon. But communicators like this are doing their audiences a disservice. In this particular example the “new” contribution from the AI tool was plugging (n,m)=(5,3) into the

Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now It's not just that researchers from Google DeepMind, Meta, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge University are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate

I wrote a short story to explain to my students the evolution of PPO, DPO, GRPO, to GDPO (NVIDIA's new paper). 👇 This story is based on my own personal RL journey to become the family chef. 🍳 (when my wife was my girlfriend) 𝗣𝗣𝗢 I wanted to cook a new dish for our next

I wish all cats could live forever and ever and always be healthy and happy

I don't think we're doomed at all! No more than we were when email came out, and cranks could flood our inboxes with their proofs of Goldbach+RH+FLT (usually all in one 3 page paper...). I've recently gotten a dozen proofs of Collatz, "formalized" in Lean! (Vibe-coded, of course,

a massive loss of signal. some of us have worried about this for awhile as one of the (countless) second-order effects of vibe coding + crowd-hype. i'm a huge advocate of well-done, ai-assisted coding. but there were always going to be downsides to the proliferation of llms
