🚀MIT Flow Matching and Diffusion Lecture 2026 Released (diffusion.csail.mit.edu)! We just released our new MIT 2026 course on flow matching and diffusion models! We teach the full stack of modern AI image, video, protein generators - theory and practice. We include: 📺 Videos: Step-by-step derivations. 📝 Notes: Mathematically self-contained lecture notes 💻 Coding: Hands-on exercises for every component We fully improved last years’ iteration and added new topics: latent spaces, diffusion transformers, building language models with discrete diffusion models. Everything is available here: diffusion.csail.mit.edu A huge thanks to Tommi Jaakkola for his support in making this class possible and Ashay Athalye (MIT SOUL) for the incredible production! Was fun to do this with @RShprints! #MachineLearning #GenerativeAI #MIT #DiffusionModels #AI

This is fascinating from China's customs data (customs.gov.cn/customs/2026-0…). All its exports are rising very rapidly but the one export that's rising the fastest, at a crazy +72.6% growth year on year, is... semiconductors! As you can see in the trade data China sold $43.32 billion worth of 集成电路 ("integrated circuits") in Jan-Feb 2026, vs $25.10 billion for Jan-Feb last year. Interestingly, volume is "only" up 13.7% year on year, which means the increase in revenue is mostly driven by higher prices per chip, which probably suggests that a) China is climbing up the value chain (selling more expensive chips) b) demand for their chips far exceeds supply - which is the exact opposite of "overcapacity". You don't get +53% price increases per unit in a market with overcapacity And all in all, it goes to show that China is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the semiconductor world. Global semiconductor sales were $791.7 Billion in 2025 (semiconductors.org/global-annual-…) and projected to be ~$975 billion this year. China selling $43.32 billion in 2 months means its doing $260 billion annualized: that's over a quarter of the entire global semiconductor market. So much for the idea that export controls would freeze China out of the semiconductor industry...

we just wrote the ultimate beginner's guide to OpenClaw almost everyone @every has one now, and they have completely changed the way we work and live. we're using our claws to: - build product - answer customer service queries - book hard-to-get restaurant reservations - track our reading notes and much more this is the guide we wish we'd had at the start: every.to/guides/claw-sc…
