This guy single handedly shot down 345 Soviet aircraft and 7 US aircraft in WW2. I had no idea anyone shot down anywhere close to that number.


Évariste Galois mapped field extensions to group symmetries before dying at 20 in a duel. For Galois L/K, Aut(L/K) = {σ : L → L invertible with σ(a) = a ∀a ∈ K}. Intermediate fields match subgroups of Aut(L/K) under the fundamental theorem (inclusion-reversing). Lattices show ℚ(√2, √3)/ℚ with Klein four-group and the A₄ extension of T⁴ + 8T + 12 over ℚ. AES encryption multiplies bytes inside the Galois field GF(2⁸).



AI is probably the most anticipated, theorized, pre-imagined, written-about technology humankind has ever created. Whereas the internet almost entirely took futurists and sci-fi writers by surprise.


There’s been a lot of speculation about where we stand on open-weights models. We’ve outlined our views in full here: anthropic.com/news/position-…

This is the IMAX console we have here. Very old, but very reliable. You can see Odyssey is over 250k frames which includes the Dune 3 prologue. This works out to over 11 miles of film at around 630lbs.
