New open source reasoning model! Huginn-3.5B reasons implicitly in latent space 🧠 Unlike O1 and R1, latent reasoning doesn’t need special chain-of-thought training data, and doesn't produce extra CoT tokens at test time. We trained on 800B tokens 👇
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to…
Excited that our FnT paper titled 'Modern Techniques For Querying Graph-structured Databases' is published. We survey query processing and optimization approaches to evaluate many-to-many joins and recursive queries. Co-authored /w @semihsalihoglu and @amolumd.

Telegram is basically unencrypted. Group chats aren’t encrypted, and most 1-on-1 aren’t either. So: 1) Durov’s arrest likely wasn’t for offering encrypted chats 2) Nor to coerce access to encrypted chats 3) But Telegram's operators can see vast logs of unencrypted messages.

I hope there is more push-back against these dangerous conspiracy theories (that implicitly give credence to even more elaborate and crazy ones doing rounds). Many folks seem to be living in a "house of cards" world, but in all likelihood, the explanation is really this simple.

@balajis This is bullshit, and very dangerous bullshit for someone with your influence to be spreading. The reason Biden is the nominee is that a sitting president is always the nominee, if he or she wants to be, and Biden wanted to be.
I think I am finally ready to give up on the "For You" tab. I am sure the algorithm is doing the right thing, but I might as well stop pretending and just do TikTok instead...
Devanagari is an extremely elegant script. But this was never explained to us in school. A thread on the awesomeness that is devanagari. Let's start with the things that my teachers did *not* teach me in school:
So the "likes" are now exactly like "bookmarks" except that the tweeter(?) sees that I liked their post (vs not for bookmarks). That seems pointless and we have lost a super-important signal. Hope folks will start retweeting what they like...
