There’s more and more evidence that dark energy doesn’t exist and the observed accelerated expansion of the universe instead is a relativistic redshift effect by the giant voids where time runs slower.

Looks like ΛCDM is soon to be replaced by TCDM.

Today OpenAI announced o3, its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI, and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks.

Throughout my career I’ve collected a nice set of Strong Opinions about relatively unimportant things. Here’s one: Don’t end your talk with a slide that just says “Thanks!” or “Questions?” The slide that remains up during audience questions should be a summary of your main points

It's wild that Germany was the first to develop a Gen4 reactor - pebble bed reactor - in 1960s, but then decided to just give up on this meltdown proof reactor type.
While it's China that has finally realized the concept 60 years later at a commercial scale.

Code generation is the most popular application of AI today—not because it’s the most impactful, but because it’s the easiest for AI devs.

The reason: devs building AI models are already domain experts in coding. This allows faster build, easier debugging, and more intuitive eval of outputs.

I’m from EU. And honestly, f**k the EU rules (to a degree). It’s an overregulated mess with much of it needing to be repealed.

How consistent were you this year?

Pretty happy with mine ☺️

Just bumped into this interesting new open source project that is similar to Perplexity.
Autoflow - github.com/pingcap/auto...

GraphRAG (Knowledge Graph) built on top of TiDB Vector and LlamaIndex and DSPy.

Demo: tidb.ai
GitHub - pingcap/autoflow: pingcap/autoflow is a Graph RAG based and conversational knowledge base tool built with TiDB Serverless Vector Storage. Demo: https://tidb.ai

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Has OpenAI's latest iteration of GPT-4o sacrificed intelligence for speed?

In a recent evaluation conducted by Artificial Analysis, the latest release of OpenAI's GPT-4o model, dated November 20th, has been observed to underperform compared to its August predecessor in several key metrics.

NASA has started probably the most death metal mission yet.

It was launched on Friday the 13th on top of the largest operating rocket in the world to a metal asteroid called Psyche.

Psyche is thought to be a remnant of a small planet’s core made out of mostly metal.

New evidence that supports the hypothesis of life on Jupiter's Europa.

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected carbon dioxide on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. This discovery bolsters the hypothesis that Europa might support life.

Did Jesus actually exist?

When this question came to my mind I wasn’t sure what evidence there is for his existence besides Bible.

TLDR: yes, the evidence is clear and abundant that he existed.

Here are four pieces of evidence that support the historical existence of Jesus Christ:

The Northern Hemisphere once emitted more heat into space than it took in from the sun. This imbalance was balanced out by the heat coming from the Southern Hemisphere, primarily through the Atlantic oceans and the atmosphere.

This has now flipped since 2014 with unknown consequences.

In roughly 250 million years, Earth's continents are predicted to merge into a supercontinent called Pangaea Ultima, which could have catastrophic consequences for mammalian life.

It is predicted 92% of Earth might become uninhabitable for mammals due to extreme temperatures exceeding 40 °C.

The success of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines has catapulted this technology into the limelight. While mRNA might seem like a newcomer to the public its potential reaches far beyond the pandemic.

Here are some future applications of this technology that medicine will be using hopefully very soon:

Creating a 5000-year-lasting battery that could be used to power IoT in three steps:

1: Utilize graphite shielding from a nuclear facility.
2: Remove the carbon-14 layer generated through neutron bombardment.
3: Compress it with carbon-12 to form a diamond.

Quietly Gaia might have deleted most of the dark matter from our understanding of universe.

“the ordinary matter like stars and gas in the Milky Way now makes up about 1/3 of the mass and the other 2/3 are dark matter. This could be a true revolution in cosmology.
