Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science OpenAI shares new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, including advances in geometry, cryptography, and complexity.
How to Exist Here’s an experiment for a true daredevil. Sit there for a three minutes, following two rules:
Alex Caza | Feeling lost I'm bullish on AI, but I also feel this pull to leave tech behind entirely, and I've been struggling to figure out why. This is my attempt to crystallize my feelings.
Tailscale in the Hugging Face intrusion: The good news and the bad news An AI agent used a stolen Tailscale auth key at Hugging Face. Workload identity federation, flow logs, and safer defaults could have reduced the risk.

Just brute force your embeddings Sure its not fancy, but you might save operational headaches by just brute-forcing vector search for a small enough corpus
Progressive Web Components Introducing Elena, a simple, tiny library for building Progressive Web Components.
My model scored perfect and that was the problem A perfect held-out score measured one thing: whether the model could repeat what it had seen. Of 30 cross-family tests, 20 fell below a crude baseline.
Data's hierarchy of needs revisited Updating data’s hierarchy of needs with org foundations and automated decisions. Neglect the base, and the top still fails.
Who has the funniest name? During my weekly trivia night (shoutout to our host Ryan), I was enlightened with the knowledge that there once lived a man by the name Preserved Fish. I of course also recalled the famed mathematician Alexander Grothendieck. I endeavoured to find the per...
No more asking 'who are you'; we have all been reduced to a passphras - Josh Brody Lose your account, lose your life.

Three Claude Skills I Think Every Org Should Have A company runs smoothly when people can get stuff done without hunting for information. What actually wears people out day to day is not the hard engineering problem. It is not knowing which ticket to file, which team to bug on Slack, or what invisible st...
