i’ve published to neurIPS but i still can’t understand research papers
that’s why we made arXivisual to make every paper feel like a @3blue1brown video

I think the disagreement is largely one of vocabulary.
I object to the use of "general" to designate "human level" because humans are extremely specialized.
You may disagree that the human mind is specialized, but it really is. It's not just a question of theoretical power but also a question of practical efficiency.
Clearly, a properly trained human brain with an infinite supply of pens and paper is Turing complete.
But for the vast majority of computational problems, it's horribly inefficient, which makes it highly suboptimal under bounded resources (like playing a chess game).
Let me give an analogy: in theory, a 2-layer neural net can approximate any function as close as you want. In practice, almost every interesting function requires a impractically large number of units in the hidden layer. So we use multi-layer networks (that's actually the raison d'être for deep learning).
Here is another argument: the optic nerve has 1 million nerve fiber. Let's make the simplifying assumption that the signals are binary. A vision task is therefore a boolean function from 1E6 bits to 1 bit.
Among all the possible such functions, what proportion are implementable by the brain?
The answer is: an infinitesimal proportion.
The number of boolean functions of 1 million bits is 2^(2^1E6), which an unimaginably large number, about 2^(1E301030) or 10^(3x1E301029).
Now, assuming that the human brain has 1E11 neurons, and perhaps 1E14 synapses, each represented on, say, 32 bits. The total number of bits to specify the entire connectome is at most 3.2E15. This means the total number of boolean function representable (computable) by the entire human brain is at most 2^(3.2E15).
This is a teeny-tiny number compared to 2^(1E301030).
Not only are we not general, we are *ridiculously* specialized.
The space of possible function is vast.
We don't realize it because most of those functions are unfathomably complicated to and us and look completely random.
I love this quote from Albert Einstein: "the most incomprehensible thing about the world is that the world is comprehensible"
It's pretty incredible that among all the random ways the world could be organized, we can actually find a way to understand a tiny part of it.
The part we don't understand, we call entropy.
Most of the information content of the universe is entropy: things we simply cannot understand with our feeble minds and choose to ignore.
We beat Nvidia’s cuBLAS kernels on B200s in 170 LOC.
Using zero CUDA. Just pure Mojo.
Here’s exactly how we went from 1% to 106% of Nvidia benchmark perf from scratch (with code) 👇🧵
Coming soon: bring any agent to your data in @marimo_io notebooks.
marimo is the first notebook to implement @zeddotdev's Agent Client Protocol — making it possible to use @AnthropicAI's Claude Code, @GoogleAI's Gemini, @OpenAIs Codex, or any other ACP-compatible agent.
OpenAI’s open models are live and already running on Groq. Try gpt-oss-20B and gpt-oss-120B today.
Groq delivers 128K context and built-in tools such as code execution and browser search. For the first time, developers and enterprises can deploy open models backed by OpenAI instantly, anywhere, at scale.
Start building now. Links in comments.
Google DeepMind just dropped this new LLM model architecture called Mixture-of-Recursions.
It gets 2x inference speed, reduced training FLOPs and ~50% reduced KV cache memory. Really interesting read.
Has potential to be a Transformers killer.
DX12 is 10 years old now. It's not modern anymore. Most of the complexity of DX12 and Vulkan APIs is simply not needed anymore. We don't need to support 13 year old Intel iGPUs and 12 year old mobile chips anymore. Metal 3.0 binding model is much more clean. Just GPU pointers.
@Cursor works well if you know how to do architectural planning, but @roocode comes with an “Architect Agent” preconfigured to help design system components.
Sometimes the best AI tools aren’t the ones that move fast, they’re the ones that make you slow down and think.
This new sample demonstrates how to render a simple triangle using Vulkan 1.3 core features. It modernizes the traditional "Hello Triangle" Vulkan sample by incorporating Dynamic Rendering, Synchronization2, Extended Dynamic State, and Vertex Buffers
