New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage. Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science. And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments. This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.

Holy shit. MIT just built an AI that can rewrite its own code to get smarter 🤯 It’s called SEAL (Self-Adapting Language Models). Instead of humans fine-tuning it, SEAL reads new info, rewrites it in its own words, and runs gradient updates on itself literally performing self-directed learning. The results? ✅ +40% boost in factual recall ✅ Outperforms GPT-4.1 using data it generated *itself* ✅ Learns new tasks without any human in the loop LLMs that finetune themselves are no longer sci-fi. We just entered the age of self-evolving models. Paper: jyopari. github. io/posts/seal

Imagine a mobile robot with a variety of sensitive sensors, a computer for signal processing, AI agent for pattern recognition, and a microcontroller with control systems that move the robot toward new patterns for closer investigations. Let's add tools and another AI agent to the robot that is trained to design and build other robots that are better at approaching those patterns. And let's add another AI agent to the robot that is specifically for drafting scientific papers about the new patterns it discovers and the new robots it is designing to discover more patterns. Would that multi agent system be "AI doing science"?

I disagree. I’m not too lazy to think, I know what science is, and I’m not trying to scam you. I think everybody who says AI can’t outperform human cognition likely has too high a view of human cognition. We are truly bad thinkers, and…1/2

putin’s brutal strike on Kyiv on US Independence Day is no accident. It’s a clear message: he won’t be stopped by talks: he still wants us dead. And he’s openly mocking President Trump.

By observation, the market is a platform that requires a majority of transactions to be fair and honest. A minority attempts to exploit its vulnerabilities with fraud, particularly with complex products and services. When that minority becomes too powerful, trust collapses, and the market crashes.

@ArnoldLabour @philipjohnston @sama Solar gain is ~ 9,000 times more than the amount of energy all civilizations use. Scale energy use up 10X, and we still wouldn't come close to what we've done with GHGs. That said, please put data centers in space. Please put factories in space. Please put colonies in space.

Are you reposting an @TheOnion article @ForeignAffairs ? It was ridiculous in 2012 and it's ridiculous now.

In a 2012 essay, eminent international-relations theorist Kenneth Waltz argued that, contrary to what many U.S., European, and Israeli policymakers have claimed, a nuclear-armed Iran would likely restore stability to the Middle East. fam.ag/4kDUobQ

@CapitolHistory There's a great back-story to this "flying a kite in a lightning storm" myth. It's probably my favorite one about BF.

@EODHappyCaptain Freedom of expression is at least one reason why you serve. All U.S. officers do. It's in the oath.

#OTD in #history, 1954, #SCOTUS unanimously ruled in Brown v Board of Education that “separate but equal” in public schools was “inherently unequal.” The landmark decision helped galvanize the #CivilRights Movement and laid the framework for the eventual end of legal segregation.

@EODHappyCaptain Best barracks I ever lived in were vintage WWII on an RAF base. I'd describe them as a permanent tent with plumbing. Rooms were partitioned with cinder blocks. Exposed metal trusses were perfect for pull-ups. I don't think NCOs expect a Hilton. If they do, they shouldn't.

@duncancampbell Clean energy is ideal for many scenarios. That said, engineering tends to focus on surviving worst-case scenarios. Since most tech is a derivative of combat, what versions of clean energy win a fight with an equivalent force burning coal, nat gas, and oil?

Today we launched the annual report on Norway’s sovereign wealth fund with a public hearing in Parliament. I was Minister for Energy when we made the first investments to the Fund. Now it’s est. at more than $1.8 trillion, and the profits are key to balance the Norwegian budget.

Patients are going to want to have someone with them on their medical imaging journey. It doesn't matter if the results are AI generated or generated by neurons. Humans are social animals. That said, health care costs are ridiculously high, but doctors and nurses deserve more than they get.
