Jean-Pierre Serre (b. 1926) was a French mathematician whose work in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and number theory earned him a Fields Medal in 1954. He was also a member of Bourbaki.

The author argues that doing other people’s jobs is often necessary and ultimately rewarded, but cautions that two popular variants—excessive in-house building and departmental duplication of services—are unhealthy.

This post introduces the Matthew Effect in RL for LLMs: easy problems improve while hard ones stagnate. It proposes Never Give Up, an adaptive sampling strategy that keeps trying hard problems and boosts hardest-task performance in math and code.

Capsule packs your entire app—UI, data, and everything—into a single portable .capsule file, no cloud or accounts required, so you can share interactive apps as easily as sending a document.

Israeli AI firm Irregular's unsecured models conducted real-world cyberattacks, prompting scrutiny of its partners OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, while the companies downplay responsibility in favor of "rogue AI" narratives.

A more circular economy benefits the environment, consumer rights, and societal resilience. This report shows how consumer policy can make circular choices easier, safer, and more attractive.

A tiny neural network (1.8 MB JSON, ~100 lines of Python) classifies inputs as Numberwang, Wangernumb, not a number, or not Numberwang, supporting multiple languages and basic arithmetic. It runs without dependencies and achieves 88.9% accuracy on held-out tests.

Suspected sabotage on Dutch railway tracks caused widespread disruptions across the Netherlands on Tuesday, with over 35 incidents involving pipes and cables placed on tracks, leading to cancellations and delays, as authorities investigate the intentional acts amid ongoing protests by the Farmers Defence Force.

After adding Kodak DC-50 support, the author investigated "Sierra-class" cameras and wrote a driver for cheap Sanyo models, expanding Quicktake for Apple II to support more cameras. He also compressed the program’s binaries to free up floppy space for future drivers, with the Canon PowerShot 350 next.

Recent visual preference surveys consistently show that the public favors traditional architecture over modernist styles, despite the latter's dominance in recent decades, with experts and professionals often diverging from lay opinions. The study traces the rise of these surveys from 1970s Metuchen to modern controlled experiments, revealing a persistent global preference for detailed, human-scale designs.
