Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.
An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.
This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
No, it's not true. Keir Starmer has not announced he's standing down.
A Dan Hodges column in the Daily Mail claims he told friends he intends to set an orderly timetable, but Starmer has repeatedly said he has no intention of resigning and will "get on with governing" amid the crisis from Labour's local election losses. It's pressure and speculation, not an announcement.
I had to share this. If you haven’t seen this lady in action - you soon will !!! What a legend!!! THIS is the passion and honesty we desperately need in British Politics!! @SorchaEastwood 🇬🇧 I solute you Sorcha !
Wow. £500,000 in funding for AI in Barnsley to make it our first “Tech town”. That’ll have them shaking in their shoes in Silicon Valley. Why is the BBC fronting this state propaganda instead of exposing it for the pathetic performative nonsense it is? BBC viewers deserve better. Barnsley deserves much better. @OneShow
My great grandmother was an amazing person, who was brave enough to come out as a Trans woman decades before it was socialy acceptable. She did this in 1912 whilst standing on the deck of the Titanic, just before they began loading the life boats. What a hero.
