What a surprise 😂

An OpenAI model has achieved a major breakthrough in mathematics, by disproving a central conjecture in discrete geometry that was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

This is the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

A lot of people are trying to figure out recursively self-improving companies right now.

I break down what we’re seeing at YC.

[Maxime Thoonsen @maxthoon]

Hey @t_blom , this is the best video I have seen in a while. Not so many bring that level of clarity of what are the next steps for companies.. so thanks a lot.

I guess we need to frame our SaaS in order to fit in a bigger architecture of a self-improving company.

Like for the sensors, you can have many different kind support, sales, finance, marketing, ... But the data need to be able to be pulls out easily.

@aurelien_veron Heureusement que les politiques ne sont pas aux manettes de cette révolution ;)

We’re reimagining a 50-year-old interface - the mouse pointer - with AI. 🖱️

These experimental demos show how people can intuitively direct Gemini on their screens using motion, speech, and natural shorthand to get things done 🧵

[Antoine Copra @Cobra_FX_]

Un million de vaches laitières en moins depuis 2000.

1,1 million d’hectares de céréales rayés de la carte.

Et ne parlons pas de la betterave, ni des noisettes, ni de la moutarde, ni de... Bref.

L’agriculture 🇫🇷 se meurt.

Et personne ne fera rien :
l’extrême gauche a réussit à faire croire que nos agriculteurs empoisonnaient.

Résultat, les politiques ont peur.

À l’enterrement, ils se feront discrets.

This is exactly where “AI in robotics” gets real: autonomous solar panel installation.

Crawler base, robotic arm, suction system, AI vision, and 3D sensors — placing ~30 kg panels with ±1–2 mm precision.

At about 1 panel every 30 seconds, 60–80+ panels/hour, with 1–4 robots and 2 support staff, this is AI turning into physical labor.

I just met someone (non tech) who coded with Claude (not Claude code) a small ERP.

The single file is on localhost and the database is @SeaTableCom.
It allows few people to work on it.

So @levelsio style.

« La censure des idées opposées rend idiot. »

Cyrulnik sur l’étrangeté des personnes qui voudraient entendre uniquement des personnes de leur avis, ce qui réduit le champ du cerveau - la science l’observe -. Cf la règle de Montaigne, «limer sa cervelle contre celle d'autrui.»

JUST IN: Skin exams are getting automated.

SquareMind just raised $18M to build a robotic system that scans your entire body and tracks every mole over time.

• Swan robot captures full-body dermoscopic images in minutes
• Tracks new and changing spots across visits
• Replaces spot-check exams with total skin coverage
• Creates a time-series record for earlier melanoma detection
• Plugs directly into dermatology clinics

Robotics is going to reshape healthcare.

Microsoft admet que SteamOS (donc Linux+Wine) fait mieux tourner les jeux que Windows 11, et veut remonter la pente

Achievement: unlocked

30 ans de travail acharné sur Wine (nombreux étaient les sceptiques) ont porté leurs fruits.

👍🎉🍾

Whoah, self-driving cars compete with airlines. I never considered that till now.

[Franco Lombardo 🇺🇦 @f_lombardo]

I'm really proud to be part of it! Thanks to @maxthoon to making this happen!

Two types of people in 2026:

1. “This is moving too fast”
2. “AI people are annoying”

#2 hasn’t used agents yet.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.
