There r random behavioral science terms thrown around here, but clearly no user empathy involved in the analysis. Wheelchair ‘abuse’ does not emerge from a point of confidence or entitlement but from a place of fear and anxiety. Of an environment not tailored to user emotions

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money: 1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality) 2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality) 3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost) 4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither) The last one is how government spending works

Daniel Lemire@lemire·5 Kas

Recently, there was a clash between the popular @FFmpeg project, a low-level multimedia library found everywhere… and Google. A Google AI agent found a bug in FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a far-ranging library, supporting niche multimedia files, often through reverse-engineering. It is entirely the result of volunteers and a marvellous piece of technology. For people who have never been on the receiving end of ‘security researchers’, it is difficult to understand why there is a pushback against them. Think about the commons. In Quebec, these are pieces of land where farmers send their cows during the summer. It is collectively owned, like FFmpeg. Everyone is responsible to care for the commons if they are using it. If you are not using it, you are supposed to stay away. Now, imagine a rich corporation comes in and sends its well-paid agents into the commons to find issues with it. Maybe a broken barrier or a dangerous hole. So far so good… But instead of fixing the issues, the corporation says “you have a month to fix the issue or else I will report you to the government”. How much love would the big corporation get in this context? Why do the security researchers insist on disclosing the issue without having contributed to fixing it? So that they can get credit for it. That's their entire scheme: find issues, irrespective of whether they affect the use case of their employer... after all, all issues no matter how small can be potentially significant at some point... and then brag about it without doing the hard work of trying to fix it. Let me be clear that no everyone working in security behaves this way. Many are good actors. But there are enough 'security researchers' behaving as parasites that it has become a recognizable pattern. « But Daniel, who should be fixing the bugs then? » If you are paying for commercial support, then get in touch with the folks you are paying. If you are not paying, then it is on you. It says so in the licenses. It is part of the moral code open source. It is part of the legal framework. Let me be clear. You do not get to bite back at Linus Torvalds if a bug in the linux kernel crashes your server. What you do is that you identify the issue, narrow it down and propose a fix. If you cannot do it, then you pay someone to do it. Or you just do not use Linux.

@ProbFact Complete misconception. It's so easy to understand 5+/-2 . Because continuous probability has a geometry to it . It would have so easy to teach and understand continuous probability atleast for uncertainty because it's so visual . Bayes theorem also so easy to visualize.

The Kalpavriksha or the wish-granting tree that emerged during Samudra Manthan or the Churning of the cosmic ocean - is the Parijata/ Pavazhamalli - this tree came out along with Kamadhenu and both descended to Bhu loka or earth on this Govatsa Dwadashi day (the Dwadashi that comes before Deepavali) Shastra says that this is the only tree where the flowers can be picked from the ground after the flowers drop and then used directly for pooja. All other flowers ideally must be plucked directly from the plant and picking from the ground for pooja ain't ideal (while not always practical) - but this rule is relaxed for the Parijata as it is very auspicious for Devatas This tree holds a special place for the both of us - immediately after our wedding when we lived at Bengaluru for a short while, we resided at an apartment near 100 ft road, Indira nagar, that had a huge Parijata tree - that the owner/builder of the place had named the apartment Parijata Nilaya ... I bought a few Parijata saplings and planted them in our mini garden at home on this auspicious Govatsa Dwadashi day today

My brain broke when I read this paper. A tiny 7 Million parameter model just beat DeepSeek-R1, Gemini 2.5 pro, and o3-mini at reasoning on both ARG-AGI 1 and ARC-AGI 2. It's called Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) from Samsung. How can a model 10,000x smaller be smarter? Here's how it works: 1. Draft an Initial Answer: Unlike an LLM that writes word-by-word, TRM first generates a quick, complete "draft" of the solution. Think of this as its first rough guess. 2. Create a "Scratchpad": It then creates a separate space for its internal thoughts, a latent reasoning "scratchpad." This is where the real magic happens. 3. Intensely Self-Critique: The model enters an intense inner loop. It compares its draft answer to the original problem and refines its reasoning on the scratchpad over and over (6 times in a row), asking itself, "Does my logic hold up? Where are the errors?" 4. Revise the Answer: After this focused "thinking," it uses the improved logic from its scratchpad to create a brand new, much better draft of the final answer. 5. Repeat until Confident: The entire process, draft, think, revise, is repeated up to 16 times. Each cycle pushes the model closer to a correct, logically sound solution. Why this matters: Business Leaders: This is what algorithmic advantage looks like. While competitors are paying massive inference costs for brute-force scale, a smarter, more efficient model can deliver superior performance for a tiny fraction of the cost. Researchers: This is a major validation for neuro-symbolic ideas. The model's ability to recursively "think" before "acting" demonstrates that architecture, not just scale, can be a primary driver of reasoning ability. Practitioners: SOTA reasoning is no longer gated behind billion-dollar GPU clusters. This paper provides a highly efficient, parameter-light blueprint for building specialized reasoners that can run anywhere. This isn't just scaling down; it's a completely different, more deliberate way of solving problems.

I take a break from twitter for a few days and come back to an AI grifter with IQ in the single digits deceiving the entirety of tpot. No, this paper will not have any influence on large-scale road routing, because 1. plain Dijkstra is virtually never used for large-scale road routing lol 2. this is a theoretical result valid in the comparison-addition model, not for a physical machine (with actual bits, cache etc) where existing algorithms are already faster in the real world than the new one in that model 3. the new algorithm only beats Dijkstra's for sparse graphs 4. an asymptotically faster algorithm isn't necessarily better in practice -- it's often the opposite 5. route planning isn't a bottleneck that determines the severity of traffic lol 2.2M views, 30K likes.

I head a department in the US, am triple board-certified, with numerous publications, citations and invited lectures to my name. And yet, I won’t dismiss alternate systems of medicine as quackery just because they don’t fit a Western clinical trial model. Many chronic conditions defy modern medicine’s toolbox but respond to holistic approaches. That’s precisely why integrative care is gaining ground even in med school curricula. As for allied health professionals such as optometrists, physical therapists, psychologists, pharmacists, they are not secondary. They are vital. They undergo rigorous training and licensure and are the backbone of modern healthcare delivery. So please get off your ivory tower, quit the condescension, and embrace a more respectful, inclusive view of healthcare.

Hello, Vidit. I am not a fan of chess, but you are an important person for our country and I did not mean to offend your family. I am sure they are good people. I was stating plain facts from a professional standpoint and I do not mince my words. You may call that ego or whatever, to console yourself, no problem. Your statement on Doctors Day claiming an Ayurveda practitioner, Homeopath, Cosmetologist and a Physiotherapist were doctors is wrong and I stand by my words. Doctors' Day in India marks both the birth and death anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, one of India's most revered physicians and a key figure in shaping the healthcare system. Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Cosmetology or Physiotherapy are not realistic clinical medicine or and their practitioners are not clinical physicians. Physiotherapy is a legit branch of healthcare (adjunct to clinical medicine), but the rest are just plain sham - especially Homeopathy, which is also known as N*zi Medicine because H*tler tried to integrate it with conventional medicine at the time. You got all worked up and started personally attacking me because you were ignorant of this fact. I do not need to keep an ego towards a chess GM or his family. You don't make me insecure and your family is of no concern to me from a professional standpoint. But what you claim them to be - has major public health consequence, because someone of your stature, being ignorant about science and health affects public perception of realistic healthcare and pseudoscientific practices. Your statements normalize pseudoscience and primitive therapies as healthcare practices when they are not. They are alternative medicine. And alternative medicine is medicine that is not proven to work. Just like there is no alternative chemistry, alternative physics or alternative mathematics, alternative medicine is also not medicine. And its practitioners are not doctors. I am a certified internist with a doctorate in hepatology and liver transplant medicine with 260 peer reviewed scientific publications, 4400 citations and h-index of 30 (just for your information). You don't know me and how useful I am to my patients and their families. I suggest you do a bit of homework before throwing such childish tantrums. I am staying in my lane and always have. Calling out medical misinformation is what I do apart from being a full-time doctor. I suggest you stay in your lane and discuss more on chess. Sorry for the checkmate. And for a change, talk about chess and try being useful. All the best for your future matches.

A note to NRIs, esp Tambrahms. Stop at some logical point and get back here to India. If not, arrange a caretaker for your parents who live alone in India. In case they don't agree, accommodate them in an elder care facility. Visit them atleast once in two years. When your parents turn 75 they begin to deteriorate. 80+ aged parents are so frail that they can't do anything on their own. I interact with many such NRI parents on a daily basis and am writing from what I see. There is enough material for three full fledged novels. You may be arranging Periyava Mandalis or Brahmotsavams in the USA, but the real gods that brought you to this world are languishing. Your $s are less worthy than the adult diapers that your parents struggle to wear by themselves. Amaruvi 08-06-2025

judging an engineer by age is BS - Linus Torvalds wrote Linux at 21 - Steve Wozniak built Apple I at 25 - Palmer Luckey created Oculus VR at 20 - Vitalik Buterin designed Ethereum at 19 - Mark Zuckerberg coded Facebook at 19 Looking back, I realize that 18-25 is the peak time.

I spent a few months in the US about ten years ago. I used to wonder so many people were obsessed about peanut allergies. I realised they were obsessed about it because many actually had peanut allergies. And many developed peanut allergies because they were not exposed to peanuts till they were three years old. And they were not exposed to it because their parents avoided giving them peanuts till they were three. And the parents did that because pediatricians told them not to give them peanuts. And pediatricians told them so, because the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended against it. And the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended against it because some study said so. And the study, it turned out, was flawed. It's a useful story to remember.

While Apple has been positioning M4 chips for local AI inference with their unified memory architecture, NVIDIA just undercut them massively. Stacking Project Digits personal computers is now the most affordable way to run frontier LLMs locally. The 1 petaflop headline feels like marketing hyperbole, but otherwise this is a huge deal: Project Digits: 128GB @ 512GB/s, 250 TFLOPS (fp16), $3,000 M4 Pro Mac Mini: 64GB @ 273GB/s, 17 TFLOPS (fp16), $2,200 M4 Max MacBook Pro: 128GB @ 546GB/s, 34 TFLOPS (fp16), $4,700 Project Digits has 2x the memory bandwidth of the M4 Pro with 14x the compute! Project Digits can run Llama 3.3 70B (fp8) at 8 tok/sec (reading speed). Single request (batch_size=1) inference is bottlenecked by memory and memory bandwidth. This was always the constraint with the RTX 4090 and why a gaming PC can't compete on tokens per second at batch_size=1. The whole model can't fit into an RTX 4090 (24GB) so needs be loaded into the GPU from system RAM, bottlenecked by the GPU's PCIe 4.0 link of 64GB/s. You will also start to see builds with multiple 5070 GPUs. The upgrade to PCIe 5.0 means a 2 x 5070 machine could support 256GB/s bandwidth from system RAM to GPU. I estimate this build to be ~$6,000 (supporting full x16/x16 PCIe 5.0 is expensive) in total, then cost of two Project Digits PC's. Congrats NVIDIA, you just found yourself a new market. @exolabs will support high performance inference on a cluster of Project Digits PC's on day 1.

BREAKING: Nvidia, $NVDA, announces Project Digits personal computer at $3000, that is approximately 1,000 times more powerful than the average laptop. The device is powered by an Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which houses separate, linked components on a single chip to reduce the time it takes to move data between them. The superchip features an Nvidia Blackwell graphics card and an Nvidia Grace processor, packaged with 128 gigabytes of memory and 4 terabytes of SSD storage.
