Launching our new paper on arXiv: we trained the largest multilingual food model ever built.
4.1M recipes. 7 languages. 1,790 ingredients. 300 dimensions.
All of human cooking compressed into 2 megabytes.
Neural networks might speak English, but they think in shapes.
Understanding their rich *neural geometry* is key to understanding how they work – and to debugging and controlling them with precision.
Starting today, we’re releasing a series of posts on this research agenda. 🧵
دخلت دولة الإمارات الأزمة الأخيرة متحدة .. وخرجت منها وهي أكثر اتحاداً والتفافاً وولاءً.. مواطنين ومقيمين .. صغاراً وكباراً .. عسكريين ومدنيين .. حكوميين واقتصاديين .. الجميع متحد تحت راية الدولة وعلمها ورمز وحدتها ..
علم الإمارات رمز القوة والفخر .. ندعو أبناء الإمارات والمقيمين على أرضها الطيبة أن يرفعوه فوق المنازل والمؤسسات والمباني..
فخورين بدولتنا .. فخورين برئيس دولتنا ..فخورين بقواتنا المسلحة .. فخورين بقوة اقتصادنا .. فخورين بفرق عملنا .. فخورين بجميع مواطنينا والمقيمين على أرضنا .. فخورين بعلمنا 🇦🇪..
لنرفع العلم شامخاً فوق كل بيت ومبنى .. دليل محبتنا .. ورمز ولائنا لرئيس دولتنا.. وراية وحدتنا وتوحدنا ..
حفظ الله الإمارات وشعبها وأدام بالعز رايتها ومجدها ..

“The world is watching what is being destroyed. It should pay equal attention to what is being built.”
In an op-ed for @FT, HE Badr Jafar, UAE’s Special Envoy for Business & Philanthropy, highlights how the Strait of Hormuz crisis is accelerating a shift from reliance on a single chokepoint – “a 50-year-old trade and infrastructure model” – towards more resilient and interconnected trade systems.

One thing about tech diffusion in China that I feel is underdiscussed and that I’ll admit I don’t fully understand, is how open people of all ages are to jump into new tech. Feels very different from the AI suspicion/resistance you see in the U.S.
Similar with mobile payments and the shift to cashless. Street vendors in the lowest tier cities setting up WeChat Pay and Alipay QR codes almost overnight and Chinese grannies happily using payment apps with no problem at all. And yes that kind of grassroots adoption helped mobile payments scale extremely fast and allowed China to basically skip the credit card phase.
My conjecture is that if something similar happens with AI tools the speed of AI diffusion in China could look very different from what we see in other countries, which obviously would have major implications...
Asia’s energy crunch is spreading fast as disruption at the Strait of Hormuz ripples across fuel markets. Singapore bunker hubs cut supply, China halts diesel & gasoline exports, S. Korea petrochem declares naphtha force majeure, while Japan (~90% ME crude) may tap SPR.
Disruption from the war isn't just to the oil-and-gas industry:
"The Middle East is one of the world's largest fertiliser producers, while the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial shipping route for exports. About 35 per cent of global urea exports pass through the waterway... the route also handles 45 per cent of global sulphur exports."
"If the disruption continues, consumers could see higher prices for bread within six to 10 weeks, eggs within a few months and pork and broiler chicken within six months." https://t.co/1916Nwt71D
QatarEnergy declares Force Majeure
Further to the announcement by QatarEnergy to stop production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and associated products, QatarEnergy has declared Force Majeure to its affected buyers.
QatarEnergy values its relationships with all of its stakeholders and will continue to communicate the latest available information.

🚨🚨| OFFICIAL: Al-Hilal have knocked Manchester City out of the Club World Cup in a stunning upset! 🇸🇦🔥
A huge result for the Saudi giants, who now advance to face Fluminense in the next round.
My latest work, BLACKOUT, is now live in Milan.
The most rewarding feeling is witnessing a project materialize after months of planning, logistics, and production.
A radical public intervention that needs no boundaries or context, only direct experience.
