I wish google maps had a feature that is "show me popular places right now near me" @Google
Do the math what will happen to the population of your country in just two generations. Isn’t it a scary thought? It baffles me why people don’t understand what’s coming, and that politicians don’t put pro-family policies at the top of their priorities list?

DeepMind built a simple RAG technique that: - reduces hallucinations by 40% - improves answer relevancy by 50% Let's understand how to use it in RAG systems (with code):
GPT-5 just casually did new mathematics. Sebastien Bubeck gave it an open problem from convex optimization, something humans had only partially solved. GPT-5-Pro sat down, reasoned for 17 minutes, and produced a correct proof improving the known bound from 1/L all the way to…

You don’t need GPT-5 or Claude 5... You need better prompts. MIT just confirmed what AI experts already knew: Prompting drives 50% of performance. Here’s how to level up without touching the model:
"Systems performance is an important skill for all computer users, whether you're trying to understand why your laptop is slow or optimizing the performance of a large-scale compute environment." A must-have book.

Schedule-Free methods, which forgo cosine/linear schedulers by averaging iterates and computing gradients at interpolated points, yield smoother training curves. It's still unclear why they work well, and this paper explains the phenomenon through the river-valley loss landscape.
