We've kept pushing our Open-R1 project, an open initiative to replicate and extend the techniques behind DeepSeek-R1 And even we were mind-blown by the results we got with this latest model we're releasing: ⚡️OlympicCoder [1/3]

Mastodon [1/2] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/24/indigenous-rock-art-border-wall The intended Texas border wall, purely for completeness' sake, will extend over an area of cliffs and come damagingly close to ancient rock art. I think it is an exaggeration to compare rock art to "books". To suppose that this rock art image has a precise message encoded in little details, as writing would have, has no factual basis that I know of. Nonetheless, ancient rock art is precious, because it Related

Excited to formally introduce Vercel Labs. https://t.co/zCNVryaiin is the home for the in-public research and experimentation arm of Vercel. 247 million downloads in, we wanted to, also in public, share what we're supporting, what we're researching, and what experiments didn't pan out. Kudos to @ctatedev and @cramforce for shaping this great initiative and iterating in public. Related

The old quote that "computers are useless, they can only give you answers" seems to extend to an LLM solution to a millennium problem. Now we have a blowup in Navier–Stokes equations, but no new insights into mathematical technique or turbulence. LLMs Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@martimw/117174328129113589 From scratch. Making custom models has turned 3D-printing from a family novelty into a full-blown craft and life-improving hobby for me. I started in TinkerCAD, which can get you VERY far, VERY quickly. Now I make most models in Onshape, since I've built up the skills to be pretty fast with it, too. I sometimes print stuff I find on Makerworld, but usually the problems I'm trying to solve are too specialized. Related

coding agents
Their words
I can't say enough how excellent a coding agent is at customizing Chrome with extensions. A huge productivity win. Every plugin interface you've ever blown off is now trivially usable.

Independent game developer, creator of the colony simulation RimWorld and author of Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences. Previously worked on BioShock Infinite.
A lot of the time the devs want to do the same thing again too. They are afraid to start from zero and want to extend the previous success. Or they are the kind of people who make a certain game and they can't do anything else. Narrow genius. Quoting @SandyofCthulhu Why game sequels sometimes get worse. The sequence: 1) the devs make a hit game. 2) publishers want the devs to shab out more the same. 3) we want to do something new. SO, either the devs are forced to do a game they don't want, or the game license is taken away (Banjo Kazooie & Spyro the Dragon) a… Related

Their words
Whereas something like Microsoft, they made VS Code as a loss leader. Copilot's probably operating on a loss leader. These things are all getting you so tied into, GitHub, remote workspaces, CI, Copilot, you become this trapped in permanent person and if that price rises, the switching cost is so great at some point that you'll never be able to switch.

Their words
It means that you have to extend yourself with empathy to the person you're seeking to serve, to the person who the work is for. And you have to extend yourself not just through space, but through time into the future, announcing something that might or might not work. You don't know yet. That's what makes it creative. If you exert the emotional labor to do those two things, sometimes you will have a successful creative outcome. That's a choice.

That’s the only way how you deal with propaganda, because propaganda is not necessarily something that is an outright lie. It can be just one factor that’s taken out of the context and is blown out of proportion. And that is good enough.

That window is open. Now it may be open for a long time or it may be open for a short time and it may be open now and then never open again. So I think the smart move here is to make life multiplanetary while it’s possible to do so.

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.
