Matt Webb describes using ChatGPT as interactive tutor to learn quaternions for AR app development, arguing AI augments rather than replaces learning.

AI factories are power-constrained industrial systems. The question is no longer how many GPUs fit in a data center, but how much AI output each available... AI factories are power-constrained industrial systems. The question is no longer how many GPUs fit in a data center, but how much AI output each available megawatt can deliver. For AI inference workloads, this makes application-level performance per watt the key metric for measuring AI factory efficiency. Not every megawatt translates to revenue-generating compute. Power distribution, cooling… Source

There's about to be a big fight to secure access to space.

Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran. Nothing too scandalous on the surface, except the Department of Justice has reportedly been investigating the arrangement for almost a year, dusting off a 112-year-old antitrust law that’s rarely used against VCs. Board conflicts aren’t exactly new, and these companies weren’t necessarily direct competitors when a16z first invested […]

Difference graph discovery identifies effect-defying root causes in linear time-series anomalies via structural causal models.

Over the past few days, a number of prominent filmmaking content creators including Matti Haapoja and Sam "Kold" Kolder have posted videos of themselves demonstrating what's possible with AI platform Higgsfield. The videos highlight Higgsfield's recently added Seedance 2.5 functionality and pitch these technologies as the future of video production. In response to these videos, other creators started sharing what appear to be screenshots of partnership offers they'd received from PR firms working on Higgsfield's behalf. All of this led fans to the conclusion that Higgsfield has been trying to...

A frontier language model is only one component of an AI agent. The surrounding agent system—often called a harness—determines how the model receives context, uses tools, maintains state, responds to feedback, recovers from failure, and sustains progress over long-running tasks. The challenge is how to build the agent architecture that makes frontier language models work reliably on extended… Source

As AI agents become more capable and operate over longer horizons, building security and trust into the applications they power becomes increasingly important.... As AI agents become more capable and operate over longer horizons, building security and trust into the applications they power becomes increasingly important. Drawing on work with NVIDIA OpenShell, agent developers, open-source projects, and partners across the ecosystem, AI safety and security teams at NVIDIA offer their perspective on the emerging agent stack—including the role of each layer… Source
