@gnostic_snakes Holy moly this is actually a relief I thought we might be in trouble.

🇫🇷 Hackers just turned supermarket FREEZERS into OVENS across France, and the damage is absolutely INSANE.

Hundreds of stores were hit after attackers remotely forced refrigeration systems to heat up to 122°F (50°C), in some cases for SIX HOURS.

Entire stocks of fresh and frozen food had to be THROWN AWAY, and authorities even reported FIRES linked to the attack.

Intermarché, Carrefour, and Coopérative U were among the chains affected, while investigators traced a potential vulnerability to outdated refrigeration software.

It's so over ☠️

@fraserpricee @ex_scxr I'd donate GPU time if it can run on consumer hardware.

@RohanArun This community is such a strong juxtaposition against the field's medalist community. Watching the progress with beyond n log n has brought tears to my eyes. Legendary work, I believe this is the math 2.0 Tao was talking about.

@KMGEsp @firesidealpha The problem he's referring to is that with super light speed tech an individual could eliminate all of there enemies simultaneously which is currently not feasible.

@driftingwendigo The beauty is there I think, we just found out n log n isn't best case and we now have a tracker (https://t.co/Z8lWIyO6Lq) for improving the bound which is dropping quickly (6.618855 × 10⁻⁴ currently). I'm confident we'll find the beauty.

@elonmusk @levie Morality aside, I think it's a bad plan to be cruel to mimic machines that are/will be more powerful than us.

@0xDepressionn A crane can lift more in a day than I do in my life and it's a tool.

@WesRoth One organization regulating all AI on the planet sounds like a bad plan to me. I think UN style would be safer and slower (and therefore safer on the AI risk side).

@cryptorover Still looks like it's doing what it always does at this time.

@pitsch @ID_AA_Carmack Static typing is also super useful and the models even add type annotations to Python in greenfield projects without prompting.

@ForensicsFAFO @Drogdor1 It is balanced

[Jesse McPrescott @JesseMcPrescott]

@elliotarledge What are the bounds? I assume design and construction would be the minimum. Is the model allowed to purchase materials or does it have to own the supply chain? Does it have to fund or initiate the project?

[Jesse McPrescott @JesseMcPrescott]

@Drogdor1 The BAM complaint is comedic gold. Never thought a law suit would be such a page turner.

@SandraCobena_ Sovereign wealth funds are for surplus countries. Funding it with only debt means, especially when markets are crashing, is using citizens as exit liquidity (bag holders).

The Library of Alexandria created the first catalog of all human knowledge 2,300 years ago, and a team of fewer than 20 people just finished the modern version and made it free for the entire planet.

It is called OpenAlex. The name is not an accident.

The ancient library had the Pinakes, a catalog mapping every scroll, every author, every subject. When the library fell, the map of what humanity knew fell with it.

For the last two decades, that map existed again, but it was locked up.

Elsevier owns Scopus. Clarivate owns Web of Science. If your university could not afford the subscription, you could not see the structure of science itself. Entire countries were priced out of knowing what research existed.

OpenAlex indexes 474 million scholarly works. Every author disambiguated. Every citation traced. Every institution and funder connected. It updates with roughly 50,000 new works every day.

The whole thing is CC0. Not just free to search. Free to download, copy, sell, and build on. The API allows 100,000 requests a day without an account.

The ancient library burned and the catalog was lost for two millennia.

The new one cannot burn. Anyone can hold a copy.

OMFG the CNBC anchors were puffing up the value of chipmaker Intel, they brought up Trump doing personal trades in the stock, and Jim Cramer stuttered for 15 seconds straight and then was quiet.

Was Cramer shocked by the corruption or mad Trump was picking better stocks?

[Erin O'Toole @erinotoole]

This deserves serious scrutiny. We should not accept such chicanery as being normal in a G7 democracy. I believe nominations - provincial & federal - need more transparency and regulation. The Hogue Inquiry called nomination contests a ‘gateway’ for foreign interference.
