It's absolutely wild how many times Volvo has managed to refresh this platform. They are basically the same cars as in 2015/2017 but now they have 150km range plus electric and they still look amazing.

For those of you that use Best-o-Masto on the web, I've given it a bit of a design refresh. It's a little bit more Tangerine, and yes, a bit more of a traditional social media view. I've also included popular links and users on the right, so you could maybe use it as a way to get a quick news update as well. Next up…you can currently boost/favorite posts in the feed, but I would like to add a way to quickly reply as well. Could be fun! bestomasto.com

I went to OpenAI because I knew that it's going to be the place that helps to push the boundaries of science the most over the coming years. Excited to see the first major signs of this happening. Towards automating scientific discovery. Quoting @SebastienBubeck yes, nonsofic groups exist: this statement is one of many new beautiful results proved by Astra, our next major model. We're releasing 10 such Astra proofs, complete with lean certificates and CoT walkthroughs for each of them. The results are wide-ranging, from von Neumann algebras (disproof of Co… OpenAI Related

I think the most interesting question is what can the models we have do right now? And so the only thing I care about today is what can Claude Opus 4.6 do that we haven't figured out yet. And I think it will take us 6 months to even start exploring the boundaries of that.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
