President of the European Commission since 2019; previously Germany's defence minister.
Excellent meeting with UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, together with @eucopresident and HRVP @kajakallas, ahead of UNGA81 The EU will always remain a supporter of multilateralism and of a rules-based international order with a reformed @UN at its heart. We thanked Secretary-General Guterres for our close cooperation throughout his term, from Ukraine to the Middle East, and on climate. As well as for driving the UN80 reforms forward. The goal is clear: a UN fit for today’s world. More effective. More responsive. That turns global cooperation into solutions on the ground. Europe Related

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 Superlogical server is built to run anywhere and everywhere and serve a level of scale (terminals+clients) unmatched w/ prior solutions. So let's start talking about that, starting with memory usage and comparisons to other popular multiplexers. I want to start by talking high level: why does terminal/client scale matter? This matters because we're seeing unprecedented terminal usage and client attachment mainly due to AI. They like to spawn more sessions than we've ever seen, and they are all their own clients. So we have to optimize it. Even if you don't use AI/agents, this just makes t… Related

In my recent ICM talk, I displayed a diagram of the life cycle of an individual problem, from an open problem all the way to a definitive solution, with a key point being that AI tools have been far more effective at accelerating some portions of this cycle than others. A point which I made verbally in the talk, but not in the image, was that the definitive solutions to problems also formed the base for subsequent progress in the field, both by suggesting new key problems to work on, and to supply new techniques to tackle these problems. I therefore enclose a further evolution of the diagram… Related

Their words
Does part of your work include designing, architecting, building, or thinking about how systems work? This book is a snarky look at all the reasons systems fail. The author has clearly lived a life in systems design and has no qualms about calling out all the obvious and not so obvious reasons an complex or complicated system struggles. My main qualm was it offered few solutions while pointing out problems.

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.
