Deepstack is just the first efficient runtime solver for HU. Plus having read the paper and reimplemented some of the core CFR from scratch, and seeing the game trees they allowed, I would say Pluribus is just a much better breakthrough in real time search than this. Plus RL on tick data is not new too :-|

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.

Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.

We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

my answer to why acid looks like feature visualization is that acid is doing feature visualization

goodbye benchmark-maxxing
hello benchmark-minimizing

mythos is the new bar, and you must be very careful not to pass it

[Nikhil R @rnikhilcom]

pretty good read. Pred markets while nascent can definitely implement a thing or two from here

https://t.co/DXMO6jE4iQ is becoming one of the most useful sites in my daily market flow.

Keeping up with everything is hard. Podcasts, market updates, narratives, assets people mention, what they actually said, it all moves too fast.

Paste makes it easy to see what happened, which assets came up, and the context around them without having to listen to every single episode yourself.

And now they added newsletters too.

Great job @frankdegods @rohunvora

excuse me did they just say $SOL $TERRA $LUNA?!

We removed an LM's ability to speak German by fine-tuning on only 4 German tokens.

As part of a 1-day hackathon with our product Silico, we removed a 67M-parameter language model's ability to predict German text, by tuning only a scalar factor on one subcomponent of the weights. (1/6)

We think this problem is newly tractable.

In 2023, MindEye showed astonishing reconstructions of seen images from fMRI brain data.

On the left: the image that was shown to a subject. On the right: the image predicted from the subject’s brain activity.

Agents are being adopted very quickly and accelerating work. How this looks across OpenAI itself:

This is pretty cool!

[Aleph @alephneuro]

We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.

after having interviewed more than 300 people in the last couple months, this is 💯 true

switched back to codex recently and i finally understood why they have to keep resetting limits.

5.5xhigh does 2 prompts before hitting the cap lmao. what even is the point...

[Nikhil R @rnikhilcom]

@zoink @MaorShlomo @yingyangwins The last I spoke to him(about a yr back) - it was one person, collaborating with multiple others under some projects banner. Maybe it’s just all of them get together to fire off the tools and Pliny centralises the findings?

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Major areas where the financial system still needs an update:

1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution.

2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency.

3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments.

4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor.

5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.

6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.

7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.

8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.

Jobs not done until we get these working for all.

Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.

went from being called a scam to Apollo and Blackrock buying ICO coins lmaooo.

[Andy @andyyy]

NEW: Circle raises $222M from a16z, BlackRock, and Apollo for ARC blockchain and token presale.

Token valuation is $3B FDV.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

The faster people can get to something 80% done and unstable, the more they are going to crave stuff that's already 100% done and reliable.

[Nikhil R @rnikhilcom]

@status_effects @AlecRad @DavidDuvenaud This pretty cool work. Why 1931 in particular? Why not say 1960 before DNA structure discovery etc etc
