Did you hear about the UK government report on ecosystem collapse? It was created not only by the environment department but also intelligence agencies like MI5 and MI6. Reporters were invited to see the unveiling of this report in October 2025 - but at the last minute the Prime Minister blocked it! Luckily the Greens forced the release of a 14-page redacted version.

News flash: OpenAI claims formal proof that Navier-Stokes solutions can blow up. They used 10,000 agents simultaneously, who sent 2.7 million messages and used ~130 billion output tokens. They will not claim the $1,000,000 Millennium Prize for this result. This prize is not going as expected. The first winner refused to take it, saying the math establishment is corrupt. The second possible winner is a team of 10,000 AIs whose human masters turned down the prize. 😆 https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ (1/2) OpenAI Related

Now we know: The popular Ox Alpha LLM was GLM-5.3-Flash... Compared to GLM-5.2, this new GLM-5.3-Flash model uses: - a Kimi Linear-style 3:1 (super*) hybrid attention pattern with 34 Kimi Delta Attention layers (KDA) and 11 Multi-heat Latent Attention (MLA) / DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) layers; - a scaled-down GLM-5.2-style sparse MoE backbone, going from 744B-A40B to 320B-A18B; - a DeepSeek V4-style mHC residual path with four parallel streams; - plus a native vision encoder (not shown). * "Super hybrid" because both KDA and MLA/DSA are "efficient" components.

With thousands of developed in a mono repo, it just does happen that one directory is missing one of the two files and this means that a subset of devs work with lobotomy. We fix this with automation but it’s a stupid complexity tax that shouldn’t have to be paid.

This works really well btw, at the end of your query ask your LLM to "structure your response as HTML", then view the generated file in your browser. I've also had some success asking the LLM to present its output as slideshows, etc. More generally, imo audio is the human-preferred input to AIs but vision (images/animations/video) is the preferred output from them. Around a ~third of our brains are a massively parallel processor dedicated to vision, it is the 10-lane superhighway of information into brain. As AI improves, I think we'll see a progression that takes advantage: 1) raw text (hard… LLMs Related

And then I found a smoking gun: October 1943. Kuhn acknowledges that he receives half a gram of ergotamine, which is the precursor drug to LSD. And so it's highly likely that the Nazis used LSD together with mescaline in Dachau.

Many of them try to pretend the measurement problem isn't there. Go to enormous lengths like the many-worlds interpretation, literally inventing an infinite number of unobservable parallel universes to avoid the thing that quantum mechanics is telling them, which is that measurements matter.

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.
