@USPS I'm changing my address. You use Mymove to update voter registration. They won't let me proceed without picking a "free offer", none of which are of interest to me. Please offer a direct way to update voter registration without bringing more spam into my life.

@RHKatzenberger I would have thought the intent layer was one deeper, at least *allowing* signalling vis PRISM and intercession via regulatory modules before the agent can proceed to call the tools/APIs

7 CONCLUSION: BRIDGING THE GENAI DIVIDE Organizations that successfully cross the GenAI Divide do three things differently: they buy rather than build, empower line managers rather than central labs, and select tools that integrate deeply while adapting over time. ....
Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai

This is that original MIT report that said 95% of AI pilots fail and which spooked investors across US Stockmarket. The reports says, most companies are stuck, because 95% of GenAI pilots produce zero ROI, while a small 5% win by using systems that learn, plug into real workflows, and improve with use. Teams keep buying or building static tools that demo well but cannot remember context, adapt, or fit daily operations, and this report maps exactly how the few winners do it differently. 🧪 How they ran the study They combined a review of 300+ public implementations with 52 structured interviews and 153 senior‑leader surveys across January to June 2025, which gives the patterns below real footing. 🧵 Read on 👇

@SommersBausch During the summer, it seems you tend to post at 8:00 p.m., rather than 7:00 p.m., about whether or not you'll have the open house. I.e. an hour before the start time.

I've been working on a new system called FOKS -- the federated open key service. There's a blog post that got picked up on hacker news discussing the launch: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=445000…

There's also a bit of a spat over how to pronounce Mamdani's name. Cuomo keeps slightly mispronouncing it as "Madani," and Mamdani interrupts him asking him to please call him by his real name.

One of my favourite "I can't believe we don't know how to prove that" questions: Is pi^pi^pi^pi an integer?

Insightful, damning video on the clueless, superficial nature of Trump's tariff explanation, and the administration's estimate of Trump's coming inflation on imported goods : 10%! They don't even know how to spell math, note the clueless asterisks at 7:50 youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg

That feeling you get when you look out the window and realize you’re almost home! T-4 days until we land in the Moon. Blue Ghost will reach her final destination no earlier than 2:34 am CST on March 2. We’ll start the joint livestream with @NASA at 1:20 am CST, approximately 75 minutes before we touch down on the surface. Set your alarms here: youtube.com/live/ChEuA1AUJ…

@bjornlite @3rdRockfromSun_ @fireflyspace @NASA Seems to me that your geometry is right, but @3rdRockfromSun_ is also right. We're looking for an image like the one from Apollo 17 at apollo.sese.asu.edu/LIW/img/201307…. As you see, earthshine can indeed light up the moon. See more on Firefly's path at x.com/pascalleetweet…

BLUE GHOST 1 OVER THE MOON Here's my reconstruction of Blue Ghost 1's orbital flight path over the lunar far side w/ names of prominent craters shown in the video. Congrats to all @fireflyspace for the amazing flight & data so far. @NSS @SETIInstitute @MarsInstitute @KeplerUni

That's not how things work. The Moon orbits Earth, and Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon gets illuminated by the Sun when a side of it faces the Sun, but Earth's shadow doesn't cover it. The Moon is tidally locked with Earth, so its "near side" faces Earth and the "far side" is on the opposite side.

@jiayi_pirate Can you clarify "Long cot all emerge"? I'm guessing Long chains-of-thought emerge for each algorithm?

The specific RL alg doesn't matter much We tried PPO, GRPO and PRIME. Long cot all emerge and they seem all work well. We haven't got the time to tune the hyper-parameters, so don't want to make quantitative conclusions about which alg works better.

We reproduced DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game, and it just works Through RL, the 3B base LM develops self-verification and search abilities all on its own You can experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30 Code: github.com/Jiayi-Pan/Tiny… Here's what we learned 🧵
