Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead) shares a fascinating dispatch on how fast the war in Ukraine is changing, and what it means for the US military: "The first time I went to Ukraine after the war, I went to this drone factory, and it really was remarkable because in real time they were starting to get results from the battlefield, and then they were adapting. But at that time it was very simplistic stuff. They were getting kids' toy trucks and re-engineering them into drones, ground drones that could put a landmine on a tank. I was back there a couple of months ago, and the advances are just unbel… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Walter Russell Mead (@wrmead). Walter has spent decades studying how America came to dominate the world and whether it can keep doing it in an era of AI, robotics and what he calls personal politics. He's a columnist at the Wall Street Journal and the author of Special Providen… Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@tristanbuckmaster/117233413705701198 A remarkable achievement: Alpöge and Buckmaster have managed to push one of the major promising approaches towards constructing blowup solutions to fluid equations --- as developed by Cordoba and Martınez-Zoroa --- to establish finite time blowup for many key fluid equations, including 3D incompressible Euler, with a smooth forcing term. (Previous work by these authors on similar equations could obtain a smooth forcing term for the IPM equation, and a subcritical but not smooth regularity for other equations.) The arguments hav… Related

Reading the latest analysis of suspected academic fraud by the @DataColada team and having all the feels. It's really remarkable what they do, and often quite funny, but the whole thing is pretty disheartening too. datacolada.org

Astra
Their words
Astra is a remarkable piece of technology. Earlier agents often tried to dampen my ambitions—they’d push me to do “pilots” or “proofs of concept.” Then agents started meeting my ambitions. Astra is the first agent that routinely raises my ambitions. I encourage you to try it!

Mathematician at UCLA, working mainly in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. Writes What's new, a long-running blog on their research, open problems and expository notes.
The Polymath8b upper bound of 246 on the gap between consecutive primes that appear infinitely often, has held since 2014, but has finally been shaved down to 240 in this recent preprint of Julia Stadlmann: https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31126 . Her paper is a remarkable effort in the spirit of the original Polymath8b argument, except now done by one mathematician (with the assistance of traditional numerical computation, but not modern AI tools). Ever since the seminal work of Goldston, Pintz, and Yildirim, the progress on this problem has proceeded by carefully designing a "sieve" of bounded in… Related

A remarkable result, but an increase from 95 votes to 9455 makes Binface about 100 times more popular this time around, not 1000 times. I know the Count will be kicking himself over this one. Related

New Article: We Need Guidelines for Learning and AI https://t.co/d16V9iW0OU I've been thinking a lot about AI and learning lately. The technology is remarkable, but I've become convinced we need better habits for using it. In this article, I share the guidelines I've created. Related

Co-founder of Microsoft and of the Gates Foundation. Writes Gates Notes on global health, energy and climate, and on whatever they have been reading.
I’m deeply sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Bill Foege. Bill was a towering figure in global health—a man who saved the lives of literally hundreds of millions of people. He was also a friend and mentor who gave me a deep grounding in the history of global health and inspired me with his conviction that the world could do more to alleviate suffering. Bill and I often talked together about the future of global health. The legacy of his career is that many of the remarkable developments to come will have his imprint all over them. gatesnot.es

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.
