One very familiar pattern in AI and science right now is going from a lot of false starts on hard tasks (there have been near-misses where AI appears to solve an Erdos problem but just finds an old solution no one knew about) to actually doing the thing soon after.

Three Erdos problems in 3 days.

Much higher than the estimate death toll in the 2022 protests, and probably the bloodiest crackdown in the Islamic Republic's history, if you exclude the murder of political prisoners in jails in the 1980s.
"About 2,000 people including security personnel have been killed in protests in Iran, an Iranian official said on Tuesday, the first time authorities have acknowledged the high death toll from an intense crackdown on two weeks of nationwide unrest" www.reuters.com/world/china/...

It's the first time authorities have acknowledged the high death toll from an intense crackdown.

Engraçado que seja essa foto que derruba a reputação desse lixo e não o apoio vitalício a genocidas e ditaduras desde que sejam contra os EUA.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

BC "do Lula" passou metade do ano subindo selic de 12,25 pra 15 e a outra metade do ano mantendo em 15; segue indicando que vai ser 15 até pelo menos março de 2026. Mas tem gente que ainda acredita até hoje que o juro tava alto antes só pra atrapalhar o governo Lula...

11 meses de BC do Lula e SELIC mantida em 15% com indicação no comunicado de que vai manter pelo menos até meio de março de 2026; lembram de quando o juro tava alto pra atrapalhar o governo e o país?

7 altas seguidas e agora manutenção de 15% na SELIC - quem defendia q o BC sabotava o país mantendo juros altos e q o BC "do Lula" ia resolver isso baixando juros tem 2 opções:

Love this. I find it hard to think of ways to make compiler explorer better, but this seems like one!
Experimenting with something like this for @compiler-explorer.com - wondering what your thoughts are? AI is getting everywhere, and can be divisive. I'm hoping something like this - so long as I can get the output quality high enough - is a net benefit to help folks learn more about their code.

I wrote an article about how Rust helps you beyond just memory safety. I based it on a talk by the brilliant Matt Godbolt, the creator of Compiler Explorer.

Matt Godbolt sold me on Rust (by showing me C++)
Matt Godbolt, of Compiler Explorer fame, is awesome and you should scour the web for every single bit of content he puts out. That is…

Perhaps a revolution but very likely a result of leading politicians, including Merz, saying it’s necessary. You could likely have seen this development any time since Feb 22 if Scholz & 🚦coalition had made the case for it & if CDU had not waited till the day after the election to make the argument.
According to this @zdfde.bsky.social Politbarometer poll, 76% of Germans are in favour of more defence spending with new debt.

This includes 90% of CDU voters, 52% of Die Linke voters and even 70% of FDP voters.

A fiscal public opinion revolution.

Russia finally wins the Cold War by patiently waiting for a KGB asset to become US president
Trump is siding with Putin and will also wreck the US defence industry. Why buy equipment that you can't rely on?
Trump expands his war against Ukraine, remotely cutting off vital electronic interference equipment on Ukraine's F-16's.

Trump is merely Putin's whore.
