CVE-2018-1009 | Microsoft DirectX Graphics Kernel Subsystem Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security…

@ParikPatelCFA If the allegations are true… The fascinating part isn’t the privilege. It’s that even with every advantage, there was still a search for a shortcut. The biggest advantage isn’t money. It’s believing you’re good enough without needing one.

Congratulations to @DKokotajlo and team on releasing Plan A (ai-2040.com) , a followup to AI 2027. My attempt at a gentle introduction to the ideas involved is at astralcodexten.com/p/introducing-…

Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it. For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more. Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this. Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.

China’s AI playbook: kill OpenAI and anthropic with free great models. Make it free. Then use cheap electricity to export compute as well. Currently the blocker is chip but Hauwei would catch up soon. Imagine a world where instead of paying hundreds of billions to OpenAI and anthropic, you pay almost zero to similar level of intelligence with cheap cheap inference. What’s gonna happen?

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2. Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication. We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating. 🧵👇

@aaronburnett Truly massive gains will come in ~3 months when the entire training and inference stack is written in C/C++ and massively simplified (most software layers will be deleted completely) and we exact-map Grok to work incredibly well on a GB300

Más de un año después, cancelan mi reserva confirmada y me vetan del hotel alegando “graves incidentes” de aquella estancia. Parece bastante claro que se trata de una represalia por haber reclamado. Llevo casi 24h sin respuesta real.

En marzo de 2025 ya tuve una experiencia muy negativa en este hotel. El spa privado estaba en mal estado (sucio, con insectos y en una ocasión olía a orina). Cuando reclamé, el personal minimizó el problema y lo negó todo. Presenté una queja formal ante Relais & Châteaux.

Hoy @aquintadaauga ha cancelado mi reserva confirmada (llegada hoy) y me ha comunicado que no aceptarán más reservas a mi nombre. La cancelación se produjo el mismo día que confirmé la reserva, pocas horas después de pedir la misma habitación de visitas anteriores.

Yes output token price is just little bit higher($6 vs $4-$5)… and input token price is almost the same. Looking forward to the actual feedback of the application. Also OAI is hiring tons of solution engineers, they want to replicate AWS’s playbook. They are trying to jump out of this token price competition. Building vertical solutions for enterprise not only can drive the adoption but also can give OAI much higher margin. Enterprise also gets higher ROI. This is win-win. It’s actually very bullish for OAI and it can be bearish for many traditional SAAS again if this works out.

Grok 4.5, based on our 1.5T V9 foundation model, with Cursor data added in supplemental training, is now in private beta at SpaceX & Tesla. Early evals show performance close to, perhaps exceeding Opus. RL is continuing to significantly improve the model, and the Grok Build harness gets better every day. Nice work by all those involved! Completely trained from scratch new models will be released by @SpaceX every month this year.

TL;DR: Zero Data Retention inference architectures shift AI privacy and regulatory risk from providers to consumers by treating data as short-lived flows optimized via synthetic signals, making long-term data custody a liability and favoring stateless inference + local state.

“Because the technology is now strategically important, every practitioner is now a de facto strategist.”

Many smart people/AI insiders are saying GLM-5.2 is the first Chinese AI model to match and often beat the American big lab public AI models with no compromises. Incredible timing given current events.

"the share of tokens used for US models on OpenRouter has collapsed": Bloomberg

crazy how fast we went from vibe-coding to vibe-policymaking

6 meses peleando con Plenitude Iberia. Les di DNI + dirección varias veces. En los cobros sale el número de contrato. Siguen respondiendo con el mismo copia-pega de Cristina. Vamos a vernos en @consumidores @eni svergognati

How do you give a code LLM knowledge of an entire repository without paying for it at every single query? We introduce Code2LoRA: a hypernetwork that turns a repository into its own LoRA adapter. Repo knowledge baked into weights → zero inference-time token overhead.

mythos will be bad ON PURPOSE on ai "frontier llm research" tasks, this is very very sad for the research community also the fact that this is un purpose not visible to the user is crazy
