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.

A sendoff from Pittsburgh, a city that set the three-day draft attendance record and succeeded in welcoming and hosting everyone in its city:

TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization

Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof.

To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we need to send 100 million tons of solar capture into space – per year.

This requires massive scale.

– Capability to launch millions of tons of mass into orbit

– Solar-powered AI satellites

– Millions of @Tesla_Optimus robots to help build it out

All of these need chips: 100-200GW of chips for Optimus alone, plus terawatts for solar-powered AI satellites.

That's more than all the chip manufacturers in the world combined can provide today, or even by 2030 (based on projected production growth).

We're building TERAFAB to close the gap between today’s chip production & the future's demand – a future among the stars

You’re right @elonmusk. Focus on this topic. Aging has a relatively simple explanation and is apparently reversible. Clinical trials begin shortly🤞

@United is launching daily, year-round nonstop service PIT to LAX starting March 29—reinforcing the strength of Pittsburgh’s market and its growing ties to tech, innovation, film and global business.

Apparently some guy in Pittsburgh bought a billboard to make sure the world knew that his hometown is on the verge of losing its much-needed newspaper.

Thanks @colin_dunlap for noticing. Link to @KDKARadio interview: https://t.co/mmGMlV6iX5

Thank you @joezeffdesign!

I’m not giving up on this @PittsburghPG place just yet. I hope you all won’t either.

[Ray Fittipaldo @rayfitt1]

I agree.

[Jellyfish @JellyfishDAO]

The engagement recieved by our recent "2099 interviews" video goes to show that hope for a brighter future has never been higher.

The world is ready for a solution to the slow, vitality-draining process we call aging.

Let's get this done.

Space isn’t just for lonely colonies—it’s for communities. Join us as we imagine constellations of space habitats bound by tethers, trade, and trust, building not just homes in the stars but entire civilizations.

FCC Chairman Brandan Carr is once again abusing his position to try to assert government control over public discourse, spuriously invoking the “public interest” standard to selectively target speech the government dislikes.

President Trump has recently called for the FCC to revoke ABC’s broadcast license because he does not like the way the network — and Jimmy Kimmel in particular — speaks about him. Just yesterday, Trump suggested to a reporter that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s statement about prosecuting “hate speech” might mean she will “go after” ABC “because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate.”

Now, Carr is threatening ABC for comments about Charlie Kirk’s shooter that Kimmel made during his opening monologue on Monday, insinuating that the shooter was part of “the MAGA gang.”

The FCC has no authority to control what a late night TV host can say, and the First Amendment protects Americans’ right to speculate on current events even if those speculations later turn out to be incorrect. Subjecting broadcasters to regulatory liability when anyone on their network gets something wrong would turn the FCC into an arbiter of truth and cast an intolerable chill over the airwaves.
