Seriously, this really is one of those "stop what you're doing and read" stories. Incredible reporting on an incredible story. It even has drone footage of the defection. Un-be-freakin-lievable work by @mjluxmoore @justmiel Annie Ng @ebrown725 Gift link: wsj.com/world/russian-defect…

I have no insight into the facts of this situation, but “CLAIM: (outline a claim)/FACT: (outline facts that don’t address the claim just laid out)” is not generally how fact checks work.

The footage of the October 7th attack was the most heinous I have witnessed in my professional career. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. Those who committed these atrocities must be hunted to the ends of the earth.
🧵 I just witnessed ~45 minutes of footage of the October 7th terrorist attack at the @AtlanticCouncil courtesy of @IsraelinUSA along with colleagues from think tanks across the ideological spectrum. What I saw was worse than I’ve ever seen. Pure evil. ***Trigger Warning***

Man kann weit über 1.000 Menschen grausamst foltern und umbringen, das alles auf Kamera aufnehmen und in aller Welt verbreiten, aber dennoch den Propagandakrieg im dummen Westen gewinnen. Das ist die Lehre.

So! Ich habe die Dunkelflaute gelöst. Allein mit Batterien! Bäm! Zugegeben, das war Rage bait für mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Ich werde es nie wieder tun, wenn ihr diesen Tweet bis zu Ende lest 😇 Ich habe "nur" die Preisspitzen mit Batterien gelöst. Aber während einer der dunkelsten und flautigsten Dunkelflauten ever. Und damit Vorhang auf und Bühne frei für den neuen Strompreissimulator von den Energy Charts feat. ecostor (Däfdäää). Motto: "Sehen ist besser als Glauben". Wer sich noch an den Abend des 14.10.2025 erinnern kann, weiß: Der Wind war so unmotiviert wie Jens Spahn im Haushaltsausschuss, die Sonne war untergegangen, Strom an der Börse mit 50 Cent/kWh sehr teuer. Hätten wir zu diesem Zeitpunkt aber 10 Gigawatt Batteriespeicher mit 4 Stunden Speichertiefe gehabt, wäre der Preis auf fluffige 20 Cent / kWh abgeschmolzen! Mit Solar- und Windstrom hat das naheliegenderweise wenig zu tun, sondern einfach nur mit einer gleichmäßigeren Auslastung der thermischen Kraftwerke. Weitere nette Effekte: - Deutlich weniger Stunden mit negativen Preisen - Der Marktwert von Solarstrom steigt, wodurch der EEG-Förderbedarf sinkt (die Beispielrechnung kommt auf 1,2 Mrd € / Jahr) Also sorry, wir brauchen in der Dunkelflaute weiterhin steuerbare Leistung für längere Zeitdauern als 4 Stunden. Aber Batterien lösen ein paar andere Probleme, die allein durch mehr Gaskraftwerke leider nicht kleiner werden.

We’re launching the Army of Robots. In 2022, we launched the Army of Drones. Today, drones account for over 95% of battlefield strikes, and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers. Now we need the next technological breakthrough: the robotization of warfare. The goal is simple — save lives. Robots should take on the most dangerous missions: evacuating the wounded, delivering ammunition, mining and demining, reconnaissance, defending positions and engaging targets. The Army of Robots is not one company. It’s an ecosystem. We will invest in defense tech companies, launch our own technology projects, test them with the military and scale what works on the battlefield. We’re now looking for defense tech companies and engineers working on robotic technologies — as well as a CTO / Tech Lead for the Army of Robots. Join us: thearmyofrobots.com/en

前に作ったブラウザで動く魚群シミュレーター、性能がいまいちだったけど改善できた。 近傍個体のインデックスがバラバラでキャッシュに載っていなかったので定期的にソートするようにしたらかなり良くなった。 現状5万体で50FPSくらい。 tokachi269.github.io/wasm-bo…

Nearly half a year of silence. We spent it studying one problem: how far RL can scale. MiMo-V2.6 is in the middle of its RL run right now. Three things we scaled: compute (~2B tokens per step, 1568 prompts × 16 rollouts, fully async), environments and harnesses (multi-task agentic RL, mixed across multiple harnesses in one run), and grader compute (agentic in-group credit assignment, with test-case and rubric-based rewards). We'll open-source the details piece by piece over the coming weeks. Streaming the run: mimo.xiaomi.com/rl/

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

How did the Nepal 🇳🇵 flood horror start? Forget all the misinformation out there - this is meteorologist @mikebettes brilliantly explaining what happened during the Nepal glacial collapse. Let’s listen to this to this fantastic popular science:
