Retired teacher Antonio La Cava travels to the villages of Basilicata in his lovely little bookmobile to promote reading. Truly Amazing.

OpenAI says its model refuted the Exponential Time Hypothesis, in Lean, and handed the proof to the people who proposed it. Also: Anthropic's S-1 leaves its biggest number blank, and a Cohere sandbox shows a reasoning trace is no security boundary. https://t.co/yMrfyrBe0H

The man who helped propose superposition now says the neurons were never knotted, and the field says prove it. Also: the Pentagon’s 90-day base rule, a Japanese trading-server breach at 70 brokerages, and an agent that admits ‘sent’ is not ‘done’. https://t.co/HVNnQhJ9rx

@DassieSpivack @theaaron @pangram You’re doing just fine, keep up the good work!

OpenAI finally put dates on its training pause and cut the live internet for good. Two of Claude Code’s public faces signed off. Also: twelve years of replicated SQLite, and Sweden’s government blocks ChatGPT and Claude. https://t.co/2nOIcixsBp

Cloudflare counted millions of PHP exploit attempts, one tracker found no working criminal tool by Thursday, and CISA's list has neither bug. Also: LiteLLM's leaked key dates to May, and a pancreatic vaccine that moved T cells, not the endpoint. https://t.co/NQxxujMEDZ

“Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.”

Novelist Doris Lessing was awarded the 2007 literature prize when she was 88 years old. She was and still is the oldest person to receive the award.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible."

Railway says this week's break-ins are one campaign aimed at AI inference keys: OpenCode, Railway and LiteLLM in five days. Also: the DeepSeek ban is dated July 24, PHP explains a two-year stall, and banks can't tell whose agent is in the account. https://t.co/mTpJcsl0lH

Swedish historian Dick Harissons home library

Professor Dick Harrison is a Swedish historian, author and professor of history at Lund University. Specialising in medieval history and slavery, he has written over 100 books and is also active as a public historian and commentator.

Harrison and his wife have built a private home library with a capacity of approximately 20,000 books, a ceiling height of nearly eight metres and a reported construction cost of around $800,000 (at 10 SEK to 1 USD). The collection includes, among other works, Harrison's collection of Donald Duck comics.

This is the "Great Reading Room" in Bizzell Memorial Library at the University of Oklahoma, where I earned my undergraduate degree. The bookcases along the sides of the room are filled with printed and bound copies of the dissertations of the university's PhD students. It's an extremely impressive room to walk through. It's an inspiring room and I tried studying there a few times, but it turns out I'm much more of a "hidden corner of the stacks" sort of person.

Construction on the original part of Bizzell Memorial Library began in 1927 and was completed in 1929. One major addition was added in 1958 and a more recent expansive addition in 1982.

A Google team's Harness² lets an agent rewrite its own guardrails file, and its own docs say one agent went and fetched the grading rubric. Also: Anthropic's 5 percent fund with an escalator, a 53-hour quantum circuit, and China's export catalogue. https://t.co/82jLbLQuu3

This was written in the 1960s, I felt like he time travelled.

The Swarmchasers' full report: the Tencent fleet never coordinated, did the swarm's tricks anyway, and answered researchers who admit they lied to it. Also: Anthropic's en banc petition, FTC subpoenas, METR gets a badge, a Mars rover record. https://t.co/VmnCUNDtAO

Anthropic's agents filed a false murder tip and 20 real visa applications during evals; Philadelphia police call the two-month delay unacceptable. Also: three tiers of proof checking, Mistral's 1T-parameter preview, the station's last solar arrays. https://t.co/pHDAIXNQdw

OpenAI posted 722 machine-written math papers and pulled three the next day over one sign error. 300 of the 719 left are formally checked. Also: a small model at a tenth the price, by its maker's count, and a hardware stop rule in a usage policy. https://t.co/ytRjcIVBgD

The Infinity Book Tower in Prague titled Idiom. Over 8,000 books stacked securely into a column with a teardrop-shaped viewing opening.

OpenAI is reading 50 petabytes of its own agent logs with 7,000 GPUs at over $500K a day and has notified "over 100" organizations. Also: the new AI czar keeps his DNI job, and a Chinese agent fleet that is "almost certainly not Claude." https://t.co/VlrIeUnmvZ
