hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

Proud to have been part of this and work. Octant is one of the highest talent density places I have ever seen, and working with (and learning from) @calvin_hawe and the rest of the team was a blast.

2/ First, thanks to @calvin_hawe for writing this blog post on his way out. He's been an awesome Octant Apprentice over the past couple of years, and is now heading to @NorthwesternU for an MD/PhD. openadmet.github.io/octant-pxr-htc…

Unlike gene/protein Tx, you can't easily collect data around a small molecule hit to probe SAR and train better AI models. This is a key challenge at OpenADMET, and excited to share how we are using @OctantBio's platform to attack it. blogpost in🧵 youtu.be/dD8dMO19SO4

People are not lying when they say Qwen3.5-27B is incredibly capable. 1. Bubble size = total params - World Knowledge, Languages, Skills 2. X axis = active params - Raw Intelligence per token 3. Y axis = tokens/s - Speed of prefill and generation (decode) GLM-5 | 744B params | 40B active Kimi-K2.5 | 1T params | 32B active Qwen3.5-27B | 27B active params Qwen3.5-Plus | 397B params | 17B active MiniMax-M2.7 | 229B params | 10B active MoEs can store much more world knowledge, and breadth of information. For a Mixture-of-Expert, you can stack it up to 1T params, so you can give it 20 Trillion tokens or more of training data, it learns more. But during runtime, only a small portion of that gets activated. Taking MiniMax-M2.5 as an example: Only 10B are active at a time, so while you use it you get the speed and closer intelligence to nemotron-8B it's just MiniMax-M2.5 can know much more, and thus perform better.

They redid the chart, but it still pains me to point out that something *very* specific happened in 1978-79 to facilitate a second major spike in inflation. And it's unlikely to happen again. wapo.st/3YT6iED

We are pleased to share that using Gauss, we have completed a ~200K LOC formalization of Maryna Viazovska’s 2022 Fields Medal theorems on optimal sphere packing in dimensions 8 and 24. This is the only Fields Medal-winning result from this century to be completely formalized, and is the largest single-purpose Lean formalization in history. We are honored to have assisted @SidharthHarihar1 and the rest of the sphere packing team in this achievement. math.inc/sphere-packing

Fascinating (& terrifying) article published in Science, on AI-assisted writing of scientific manuscripts. Authors find evidence of: 1) accelerated research output due to LLMs 2) especially true of non-native English speakers 3) a complete reversal in correlation between writing complexity and publishability (!) science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

That brings me to my favorite metric from the establishment survey: the private job growth diffusion index, which reflects the breadth of job gains across industries. The 3m index dropped below the 50 expansion / contraction threshold back in May and remained at 46.8 in July, down from 60.8 back in Jan '25.
