Tyson, who caught the terrorists earlier today

Indian forces neutralise terrorists in J&K. A sniffer dog with the 2 Para SF of the Indian Army, was the first to detect terrorists in J&K's Kishtwar. Shot in the leg while leading the advance, he continued the mission despite his injury.

It's so cold in Boston right now that packs of coyotes are able to cross the water today.

Columbia CS Prof explains why LLMs can’t generate new scientific ideas.

Bcz LLMs learn a structured “map”, Bayesian manifold, of known data and work well within it, but fail outside it.
But true discovery means creating new maps, which LLMs cannot do.

[Rohan Paul @rohanpaul_ai]

Yann LeCun (@ylecun) just revealed why he left Meta, Why are LLMs an extremely narrow field, and how "World model" is the way to build really meaningful agentic future. 🎯

Beautiful and simple in 1.5 mints.

"I can’t imagine we can build agentic systems without those systems having the ability to predict, in advance, what the consequences of their actions are going to be. The way we act in the world is that we can predict the consequences of our actions, and that’s what allows us to plan.

So what is a world model? Given the state of an environment, a system you want to control at time t, and given an action or intervention you imagine taking, can you predict the state of the world (or the system) at time t + 1? If you can, that’s a world model. You don’t do this at a pixel level, if it’s video. You do this in an abstract representation space, and that’s a crucial key insight."

Thank you, PM @narendramodi ji, for an inspiring conversation on India’s AI opportunity. To support the country’s ambitions, Microsoft is committing US$17.5B—our largest investment ever in Asia—to help build the infrastructure, skills, and sovereign capabilities needed for India’s AI first future. @PMOIndia

We are so back. It feels like it's been several years since there's been this much snow on the Nubble between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Never take these moments for granted. Full moon tomorrow night.

Data centres eat electricity.

But their waste heat?

Finland turns it into home heating.

Cities are plugging data-centre heat into district-heating systems — cutting waste and cutting emissions.

[Culture Explorer @CultureExploreX]

What happens to a society when its smartest teenagers decide college isn’t worth the time and companies start agreeing with them?

Palantir just tried something most people thought was unthinkable. It told high school students to skip college, walk past the gatekeepers, and start working on real-world national-security and tech problems at eighteen.

Five hundred teens applied. Twenty-two got in. Some turned down places at Ivy League schools. One even walked away from a full-ride scholarship backed by the Department of Defense.

Why?
Because the message hit a nerve: the belief that college has stopped rewarding merit and started rewarding compliance.

These fellows were thrown into seminars on Western civilization, leadership, and U.S. history. They took notes for the first time in their lives. They visited Gettysburg. They debated whether the West is still worth defending. Then they were dropped into live product teams handling hospitals, defense clients, government agencies — real stakes, real pressure.

And something happened that no university can replicate.

They saw what it feels like when a company trusts them on day three more than a college would trust them in year three.

Parents panicked. Counselors discouraged them. Friends told them they were insane.
But every generation has a moment where the ground shifts. This might be one of those moments.

So here’s the real question behind the question:

If elite companies start grooming talent straight out of high school, and young people start choosing mastery over lectures, how long until the traditional college path stops being the default and becomes the backup plan?
