We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.
The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.
This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.
Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:
• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence
If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.
Breaking: BlackRock just froze $1.2 billion in withdrawal requests at its private credit fund.
Here's what happened:
• Investors in BlackRock's $26B fund asked to pull out 9.3% of their money
• BlackRock said no — capped withdrawals at 5%
• Blackstone's $82B fund saw record withdrawal requests the same week
• Blackstone had to put in $400M of its own cash to cover the exits
Two of the biggest funds on the planet are limiting how much you can take out.
I don’t know what’s worse right now, the #Trump#Tariff / trade war or the chime sound that @CNBC feels is necessary to play every 2 to 3 seconds when you’re trying to get updates on the market. I honestly cannot figure out what on the screen is changing when it chimes
@Avis you should consider training your customer service reps to not unmute their microphone while they're laughing when a customer is frustrated with your shady business practices when it comes to disputing charges. I have no choice but to report the charge as fraud.
Crowds are getting restless and rowdy waiting to get into the @WMPhoenixOpen open. Capacity is capped and no one is allowed in. Absolutely shit show #WMPhoenixOpen
As (correctly!) predicted by the high-resolution weather models, a "narrow cold frontal rainband" (NCFR) feature is now approaching SF Bay Area. This will likely bring a period of torrential downpours and gusty winds, with widespread road/urban flooding amid evening commute.#CAwx
I knew us engineers were getting motivation from somewhere....it's the PM's! This whole time I thought it was working on challenging new technologies, or a paycheck....or coffee
