This is the first time I'm seeing @naval recommending fiction. :) twitter.com/naval/status/1…

System Design Round at Anthropic: You are running an LLM in production that costs $0.40 per query. At 100,000 queries a day that is $40,000 a day. You check your logs and find 60,000 of those queries are users asking slight variations of the same 200 questions. Your model is generating a fresh answer every single time. How do you cut your inference cost by 60% without the user ever feeling like they got a cached or stale response?

I want a refund I used these wrong my entire childhood, lol.

I wonder how @HansZimmer comes up with such amazing tracks! The track is so perfect it depicts the grandeur of the film. Currently running on loop: Rama Theme (From "Ramayana") music.youtube.com/watch?v=txUmfT… via @YouTubeMusic

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced. This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

y[1+(y′)^2]=k The Brachistochrone problem is the ultimate "work smarter, not harder" of the physical world. While a straight line is the shortest distance, the cycloid is the fastest path because it front-loads acceleration. It’s a beautiful reminder that in a gravitational field, the most direct route is rarely the most efficient. This is the Calculus of Variations in its most visceral, satisfying form. Seeing the cycloid absolutely dust the straight line never gets old; it’s where mathematical optimization meets physical reality.

I wonder how a German Composer can know so well about the Indian music and compose a track that resonates with Indian people as well as to global citizens! Same is applicable to the Chinese people in Kung Fu Panda Rama Theme (From "Ramayana") youtu.be/txUmfTt30YA?si… via @YouTube

Perfect

NASA has launched a website where you can follow the Artemis II mission to the Moon in real time 👩‍🚀 Absolutely amazing. Link 🔗👇

Artemis II crew is thousands of miles away from Earth And they’re asking ground crew for help because they have two versions of Microsoft Outlook open and neither is working This scene is now canon 😭

Humans: 100% Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37% GPT 5.4: 0.26% Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok-4.20: 0.00% François Chollet just released ARC-AGI-3 -- the hardest AI test ever created. 135 novel game environments. No instructions. No rules. No goals given. Figure it out or fail. Untrained humans solved every single one. Every frontier AI model scored below 1%. Each environment was handcrafted by game designers. The AI gets dropped in and has to explore, discover what winning looks like, and adapt in real time. The scoring punishes brute force. If a human needs 10 actions and the AI needs 100, the AI doesn't get 10%. It gets 1%. You can't throw more compute at this. For context: ARC-AGI-1 is basically solved. Gemini scores 98% on it. ARC-AGI-2 went from 3% to 77% in under a year. Labs spent millions training on earlier versions. ARC-AGI-3 resets the entire scoreboard to near zero. The benchmark launched live at Y Combinator with a fireside between Chollet and Sam Altman. $2M in prizes on Kaggle. All winning solutions must be open-sourced. Scaling alone will not close this gap. We are nowhere near AGI. (Link in the comments)

Marathon finishing time distribution proves one of my biggest leadership lessons: Deadlines work! … even if they are somewhat arbitrary

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours? > Zuckerberg killed the Metaverse after burning $80 billion on cartoon avatars nobody used > Sam Altman took $13 billion from Microsoft then sold OpenAI's cloud to Amazon for $50 billion.. Microsoft just found out they funded their own competition > Anthropic made an AI that takes orders from your phone and does your work while you sleep.. > X dropped a dislike button AND a mute-entire-countries button in the same week.. > YouTube asking you to flag AI slop is just Google getting 2 billion people to train their next model for free > 93% of US jobs can now be partly done by AI.. Same week companies started giving the weakest raises since 2008 > Apple started rejecting vibe-coded apps from the App Store > xAI is paying Wall Street bankers $100/hour to teach Grok how to replace Wall Street bankers.. They're taking the money.. > A mystery AI model appeared on benchmarks beating everything.. Developers think DeepSeek is quietly testing their next weapon > Bloomberg asked "Is the AI bubble about to burst" the same day Nvidia said the chip market will hit $1 trillion.. One of them is dead wrong.. > The UK government backed down on AI copyright after artists revolted.. First government to flinch > The Fed said rate hikes are back on the table and blamed AI data centers for making inflation worse And it's only Wednesday. See you tomorrow. It'll be worse. If you're not following me you're finding out about this stuff 48 hours late from someone who read my post

Yup! Each frame has a reference to an event in the last 7 days!

Normal search vs Quantum search

A Polish mathematician spent 20 years building a problem he said no AI could solve. GPT-5.4 cracked it on run 11. gli.st/xoxgkbvl

Great to see him win the Oscar. He’s waiting in line since There Will Be Blood!
