The Vatican when Trump attacks the Pope

Dear Italy, Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington — the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth. We'd like to apply for the vacancy. Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span. The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.

The Iran war is being orchestrated behind the scenes by Denmark to distract Trump from seizing Greenland, and increase the price of petroleum and thus plastic to make Lego more expensive and siphon America's wealth via manchildren buying toys. Why do you think Iranians are using Lego in their propaganda? It's a dogwhistle.

@stylewarning @arivero And should we talk about the low level implementation of log and exp as power series with a finite number of terms?

@drenerbas @arivero the whole thing has performance and numerical stability issues if we should talk about computer implementation :)

My thoughts on this hit "universal gate of continuous functions" (as some have suggested). TL;DR to save you a click: For a more conventional definition of "elementary function", if my math is right, it doesn't do what the tin says. 👇

@stylewarning That is a very elegant piece of maths. Best blog post I’ve read in a long while. Bit too pure for an ML takedown though :) I reckon learning over EML structures will turn out to be quite useful.

@stylewarning @arivero Doesn’t seem like a big deal for a low level implementation

@arivero sqrt x = exp(1/2 log x) isn't defined at 0

Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking. For hundreds of years, mathematics had dozens of “basic” functions: sine, cosine, logarithm, square root, exponential. You know these from school. Everyone does. Now it turns out that all of it is one single operator: E(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y), and the constant 1. Sin, cos, π - everything follows from this neatly , just nest it properly. Nature hid the simplest possible description of reality. And it was just been found. The whole thing is beautiful and remarkable, here the word “groundbreaking” is not a marketing buzzword. For instance, instead of writing π or 3.14, one can now elegantly write E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,1),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1)),1))),1)),1)),1)),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1),1),1))),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1) arxiv.org/abs/2603.21852

Has Péter Magyar said thank you to JD Vance even once for helping him win the election with a likely supermajority?

@pfau You left out the 40 Tesla magnetic field

Everyone's chasing crazy AI-discovered super complicated quaternary compounds, but there's still stuff to be discovered just from picking two squares on the periodic table and mixing it together the right way.

What the hell @X where is all the news? AI and finance, fine, but world events?? Hungarian election is absent from my feed

Thank you @JDVance We are looking forward to see you supporting AFD in Germany and Le Pen in France. Please dont forget to support Fico. Kind regards, The Free World

@EastlondonDev Link to the paper?

Presenting Meridian: a line to connect deterministic compute and language model AI. From Neural Turing Machines and Differentiable Transformers to The Neural Computer, there’s a rich history of trying to combine traditional deterministic computation with the wildly different architecture of Artificial Intelligence. I’ve spent the last 4 weeks creating a single neural network that has the combined capabilities of a 4B param language model and a deterministic computation engine based on Web Assembly. It allows the AI deterministic integer computations up to 2^32, control flow (while loops and if statements) and a basic filesystem - all implemented as part of the transformer neural network, no external tool calls. With this architecture adding fewer than 1 million parameters to an existing 4B param language model I can take it from <20% accuracy on arithmetic with 4-digit numbers to 100% accuracy on 4 digit numbers and 99% accuracy on arithmetic up to 2^32 without adversely affecting the language model’s performance on non-mathematical tasks. The combined model can precisely execute a range of algorithms including checking number for primeness, finding the GCD of two integers and sorting arrays.
