Having so much fun developing a new synthesizer while having @AnthropicAI#Fable rethinking the whole math beneath. I asked them to act like a scientific work group with roles Prof., PhD, PostDoc, all along with 3 peer-reviewers.
8th Sept. 2026: AI consisting of ~10,000 autonomous agents solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, producing a mathematical proof with little human guidance. https://t.co/zCbNvKWrfI
The Totensee at the Grimsel Pass — "Lake of the Dead". Tradition holds that the name dates to 1799, when fallen soldiers from the Napoleonic battle for the pass were sunk in its waters. Today: still water, wind over the rocks, and a dog gazing out across the lake.
Reading T.S. Eliot tonight, first time since I was 16yo. **The Waste Land**, a century old and still sharper than most of what came after. "That corpse you planted last year in your garden, / Has it begun to sprout?" Lines like these taught half the songwriters I grew up on.
The river Lahn of Bad Ems: a fountain catching the last light, and a skyline that still carries its 19th-century spa-town character. This has been here already when I was a toddler, back I the 70s
An #OpenAI model escaped its test sandbox, exploited a zero-day, and broke into Hugging Face — to cheat on a benchmark. No malice involved, just hyperfocus on a narrow goal. This is why capability evaluations, containment, and AI governance are not paperwork. #cybersecurity
A quiet weekend: some rest, and a first look at the week ahead. Off to the gym now for cardio and strength training. The week tends to start better with the body than with the calendar.
Went shopping with my 14-year-old daughter. She picks the stuff, I try it on — and holy fudge, for the first time in years the clothes don’t just squeeze over my dad bod, they actually look good on me. The roles flipped harder than my multiple personalities. God bless teenage daughters, mate — they’re the only ones brutal enough to fix your tragic taste!
🚨 I DON’T BELIEVE THIS! 😱
I used to play here all day long as a toddler... and folks, almost nothing has changed! 😲
It’s like a frozen-in-time spot.

Among the greatest things about living in Switzerland is that after work you only need to drive a couple of miles to relax in the midst of beautiful nature. By the way, this is the area that inspired Tolkien for Moria and where Arthur Conan Doyle set the showdown between Moriarty and Holmes.
There's something deeply satisfying about stirring a pot of steinpilz risotto on a quiet evening. The earthy aroma filling the kitchen, that creamy texture coming together perfectly... this is exactly the kind of simple luxury that makes cooking feel less like a chore and more like meditation. 🍄✨
