It’s become so deeply consensus in my circles that the @SpaceX IPO is an overpriced retail exit.
Put the “never bet against Musk” thing aside: is it really that unreasonable to think the PV of dominant control over low-cost access to orbit could be worth ~40% of Nvidia?
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.
An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.
This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
Gemini Omni doesn't just build scenes that look real, it reasons about what should happen next. It combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini's knowledge of history, science, and cultural context.
Rolling out today starting with video outputs to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers globally through the @Geminiapp + Google Flow, and @YouTube Shorts this week.
all of this public discovery in the oai trial is the best thing that has happened to me in months
I am having so much fun reading all of these emails and texts
