Sometimes clumps would form that appeared to have the combined friction necessary to maintain wall grip, each holding the other up. But, like Mitch Hedberg's observation of belts and belt loops, it was difficult to discern who was helping who stick to what.Take for example, our focus today. We have a completely novel CPU, built by…

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Every frontier model in 2026 advertises a context window of at least a million tokens, but almost none of them are actually great at making use of all of that information. On MRCR v2, the multi-reference retrieval benchmark labs report, the best model is GPT-5.5, which scores 74.0%. Others like Claude Opus 4.7 at 32.2% are far behind.  At this point, a million tokens seems to be the maximum for the context window that the major frontier labs are offering. One major reason for the…

On April 30, the Federal Communications Commission unanimously approved a proposal requiring telecom providers to verify customers’ identities before activating service. Government-issued ID, physical address, legal name, and existing phone numbers would all be included. The stated goal is stopping robocalls. The result would be an identity-verification regime covering one of the last semi-anonymous communication tools available to ordinary Americans. The proposal applies to nearly every voice provider in the country, from traditional carriers and…

Have you ever had a situation where you’re trying to explain something or say something, and you’re looking for a suitable word or term, but no matter how much you look for it, you can’t find it? I think Naur’s “theory”…

💥 Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Last year, we released a case study on agentic misalignment. In experimental scenarios, we showed that AI models from many different developers sometimes took egregiously misaligned actions when they encountered (fictional) ethical dilemmas. For example, in one heavily discussed example, the models blackmailed engineers to avoid being shut down.When we first published this research, our most capable frontier models were from the Claude 4 family. This was also the first model family for which we ran a live alignment assessment during training;1 agentic misalignment…
