Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
Take this storm seriously, folks.
Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast today through the weekend.
- Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.
- Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur.
Stay weather aware and up to date on the latest alerts and weather conditions by following your local national weather service office on social media or checking https://t.co/qk3BcVP5M8.
Google just dropped "Attention is all you need (V2)"
This paper could solve AI's biggest problem:
Catastrophic forgetting.
When AI models learn something new, they tend to forget what they previously learned. Humans don't work this way, and now Google Research has a solution.
Nested Learning.
This is a new machine learning paradigm that treats models as a system of interconnected optimization problems running at different speeds - just like how our brain processes information.
Here's why this matters:
LLMs don't learn from experiences; they remain limited to what they learned during training. They can't learn or improve over time without losing previous knowledge.
Nested Learning changes this by viewing the model's architecture and training algorithm as the same thing - just different "levels" of optimization.
The paper introduces Hope, a proof-of-concept architecture that demonstrates this approach:
↳ Hope outperforms modern recurrent models on language modeling tasks
↳ It handles long-context memory better than state-of-the-art models
↳ It achieves this through "continuum memory systems" that update at different frequencies
This is similar to how our brain manages short-term and long-term memory simultaneously.
We might finally be closing the gap between AI and the human brain's ability to continually learn.
I've shared link to the paper in the next tweet!
New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
Last month, a number sent me malware via an APK titled 'Union Bank Aadhar Update' on Whatsapp.
These typically just lamely forward all SMSes received to steal OTPs, but this one turned out to be a significantly more sophisticated op.
Some notes from taking down a scam network:
Crowdstrike Analysis:
It was a NULL pointer from the memory unsafe C++ language.
Since I am a professional C++ programmer, let me decode this stack trace dump for you.

@christianhujer@allenholub Live in US in last 15 years, many of my friends do not use outside shoes in the house (puts them in closet next to door) I kind of understand the suburbs since it is .mostly clean there. But who is in the right mind to walk in his apartment in NY after coming back to their home
