If you don’t know what COBOL is, it’s a programming language created in the 1960s. And yes, some of the federal systems Americans rely on today are still running on it. That means parts of the technology behind critical government operations were built before the internet, smartphones, or GPS even existed. When we talk about “legacy systems,” this is what we mean. America cannot build the future on infrastructure built for another era. That’s why bringing the best tech talent into government matters. That’s why work is underway to move these systems forward.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

The hantavirus linked to the cruise ship outbreak is the Andes virus which, is the only type that can spread from person to person. This is rare and typically limited to close, prolonged contact. At this time, there is no indication of wider community spread. cdc.gov/hantavirus/abo…

What does it take to run 3, 5, or even 10 concurrent instances of Gemma 4 locally? We've open-sourced a demo letting you run multiple models side-by-side on your hardware. Gemma 4 26B A4B easily runs 10+ concurrent requests on a MacBook Pro M4 Max at 18 tokens/sec per request.

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

This 2 hour Stanford lecture shows exactly how Stanford trains it's engineers to build AI systems. It's more practical than every Claude tutorial & prompting threads you've seen. Bookmark & give it 2 hours, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this weekend.

A huge showing for science and exploration yesterday — 18 flights involved in the recovery of the Artemis II crew each received more than 100,000 follows on Flightradar24. Those 18 flights combined for a total 5,878,161 follows. The WB-57 was followed 1.2M times!

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

Three million people are now using Codex weekly - up from two million a little under a month ago. Incredible to see the growth. Thank you to all of you and to the ecosystem we’re part of. To celebrate, we’re resetting rate limits so you can keep building, and we’ll reset them every additional 1M users until we reach 10M, so we can keep celebrating along the way. Enjoy and thank you!

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V
