i've never been a cultural relativist so this is easy for me: the culture of the American Right fucking sucks. they worship malice and mediocrity. they venerate nothing of value.

Wait I just figured out the missing tone cue and I hate this but basically you're talking to a math/compsci PhD autistic savant who's also a littlemoder who took too much acid, is the vibe

If one were to embrace pure Instrumentalism, then the AIs clearly have some form of interiority because treating them as though they are capable of psychology leads to so many concrete results (nb: make sure you understand capital-I Instrumentalism before replying: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrum...)

I have something for this: the idea is you don't build a custom workflow, trying to stay ahead of the labs. That's impossible. Instead, you build a harness configured via high level DSL, designed to be reconfigured by the LLM inside it, & let them tweak their own harnesses until they're just right

"why would I ever need a task to be done faster" come on, guys. Because we're dying. Because we are literally all dying all the time. Because we're running out of time. The fact that it's often hard to measure or stupidly measured doesn't mean "saving time" isn't an important thing to human beings

Ok so basically what half these proofs show is that every beautiful and perfect result in mathematics is just another fucking Borwein integral under the hood and we never bothered calculating hard enough for the scales to fall from our eyes.

I think the main tl;dr is that they've pretty comprehensively demolished any plausible claim that these tools can't do frontier math problems, that these tools are, for better or worse, going to be a major tool going forward in theoretical math fields, and that is going to be a shitshow to sort out

I'm a free information radical. I have spent most of my career publishing open-source code and building open-information systems. I grew up getting access to knowledge that I never would've otherwise had because of the Internet. The past 5 years have accelerated it. I think the future is bright.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

skill issue and, more importantly, model quality issue. these projects only fall apart because the model lets them, and when model capability jumps you immediately see a difference. even if you're using the best model today, it won't be the best model in a month www.autodidacts.io/vibecoding-i...

Two line graphs contrasting the emotional thrill over time of traditional programming versus AI vibecoding.

Graph 1, "thrill curve writing code by hand": Axes are fun (vertical) and time (horizontal). The curve starts at "idea", plunges downward through "pip install @#!%", "undefined", and "stackoverflow post w/ 0 replies", then steadily ramps upward through "writing code" to peak at "OMG it works!".

Graph 2, "thrill curve vibecoding a garbage pile": Starts at "idea", spikes dramatically upward with "1-shot the prototype" to a quick peak at "OMG it works!", then rapidly plummets downward through "oops, spoke too soon", "waiting for the LLM", "cawgnative det", "maintaining code you don't understand", "you're absolutely right!", "irreversable brain rot", "flamed on hackernews", "getting tired of spending 10hrs/day in slurry of overconfidence+amnesia", "feeling sheepish you only vaguely understand how it works ...", bottoming out at "pwned", followed by a tiny final bump labeled "1B exit?".

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

I think we are seeing from Cook basically allowing the absolute limits of both MOE in the case of democrats to remain in tossup while not doing the same for R seats. Its rather disingenuous and suggests internal bias.

burying the lede Claude, an AI model developed by Anthropic, discovered the algorithm that refutes the 3SUM, APSP, and Exact Triangle hypotheses. The authors then worked to understand, simplify, strengthen and extend the algorithm, derive additional consequences and make the presentation accessible

I hadn't considered this point but he's right actually, open models almost certainly encode the vast majority of the value that was available to be extracted from just pretraining.

Gallup's PID survey is one of the most respected and predictive surveys in the polling world. It showed a close environment before the 2024 and 2022 elections. It showed a Dem edge in 2020 and 2018...It is D+11 going into 2026. Largest lead for Dems since Obama came into office with a ~68% rating.

My physical copy of AI Agents with MCP showed up...it's real! You can order the ebook now, and the print edition should be shipping soon, with pre-orders open. Over 330 pages on the Model Context Protocol, up to date with the July spec rewrite and Python SDK v2. kylestratis.com/books/ai-ag...

A super handsome guy holds AI Agents with MCP in Harvard Bookstore, a bookstore that doesn't actually carry the book.
