I TA a complexity theory class, and am trying to make my students laugh before the worst week of the quarter hits.

[Tom Knowles🔸 @TensorProduct]

@mandylu (as with many such problems), tensor decompositions mostly suck and are NP-hard. quirk of complexity theory that we care about the linear/bilinear case just because we can compute them, they don’t generalise cutely. but it’s SVD and it’s not even close. LU is for ICME chuds only

Excited to share Adaptive Innovation’s (@joinadaptive) $50M Series A led by @felicis and $10M Seed led by @BainCapVC.

Adaptive is an AI-native healthcare provider rebuilding the way care is delivered in America, starting with home health

I did not realise how many people who work in AI safety think they have to run defence/PR for their team when that team make calls that are almost definitely net bad for safety—even if said calls are technically not as bad as the public thinks, or not as bad as a competitor.

I'm very conservative on this one. The youths are wrong.

@QCdxNYNZ8875525 甲本先生、ちょっと質問です！もし覚えていたら、キャラ名の「トム・ノエルズ」って、どうやって決められたのか（由来など）教えていただけたら嬉しいです。海外からずっと応援していて、実は自分の名前もトム・ノエルズなので、気になってしまってw

@shelvacu @IsaacKing314 I mean it’s still encoding-dependent, and its “finite” runtime depends on how long the Turing Machines take to halt, which is of course as uncomputable as anything else here... In practice this just makes it basically “computably possible to lower bound,” which many things are.

@izzyz both banger tweets, excellent range

[Tom Knowles🔸 @TensorProduct]

fuck it, one more shrimp

[Arthur Wrong 🔸 @arthur_wright_]

Holy shit i think @MariGO2thepolls is actually going to get that tattoo

[Tom Knowles🔸 @TensorProduct]

@MariGO2thepolls shrimp

[Tom Knowles🔸 @TensorProduct]

only one more day to join in and save your own shrimp 🦐👀

people on the internet will call you based

[Tom Knowles🔸 @TensorProduct]

This arrived today. It is unbelievably fun. I have just bought another pack to give some to all my friends.

[Coincidence @CoincidenceTeam]

The Zach Attack! Scratch 'n Solve Puzzle Pack is now available for purchase on the Coincidence store! If you backed the project on Kickstarter, your order either already shipped or will ship tomorrow.

ugh it has been brought to my attention that this math might have some subtle technical issues resulting in me being off by some small factor. someone call @AndyMasley?

@matt_beard_ @SpacedOutMatt @MariGO2thepolls @absurdlymax @livgorton we can help 1400 shrimps per dollar, so if my math is correct, this helps exactly one shrimp! i’ll call him jeremy

@yaroslavvb @kchonyc @orf_bnw @_angie_chen An extension is preinstalled which works similarly to VS Code, but it’s not the usual Microsoft one and doesn’t have all its features. You can use it by clicking the button in the bottom left.

I am looking to bet anyone $10k that I personally will not solve NS during 2026. Reply if interested.
