Live smart. Die wise.
A new paper from ByteDance and several Chinese universities extends the #AI reasoning debate
The central claim is that these weaker connections let reasoning 'fold' toward better solutions, like proteins finding functional form through subtle internal forces
#Prompting takeaway: pretraining supplies the logical backbone, but eureka level outputs come from diverse contexts and surprising analogies. Logic builds the scaffold, variation enables the fold.

It’s not a style I naturally gravitate toward (I avoid short form video altogether), but the viewing experience was still intellectually engaging and unexpectedly reflective
What stands out most is the atmosphere: unusually delicate, quiet, tender.
I recently watched the animated film Lost in Starlight
As someone studying editing, I was struck by how kinetic the cutting feels.
At times it resembles a chain of short form, tiktok like fragments assembled into a single narrative arc: yet treated with restraint, softened, almost weightless in tone
I like seeing more #youtube creators talk about the non ideal sides of #technology. Channels like vanessa wingardh for example.
Sure, criticism and dissatisfaction boost reach, but critical content itself needs to be consumed critically
The value is in extracting a balanced signal, not absorbing the outrage
@CubeRootOfTrue The origin of life is certainly a very important and fascinating topic.
What troubles me more is the fact that for a long time in my life I believed that if a stone has no metabolism, then it is non-living matter.
I was taught that since plants have metabolism, they grow and die, therefore a plant is alive. And since a stone does not grow and has no metabolism, it is dead and thus non-living matter.
At the age of 30, I became acquainted with the #philosophy of hylozoism. This doctrine asserts that all matter around us is alive.
Today, it is generally considered obsolete and incapable of explaining anything. At the same time, this postulate has one very simple practical implication.
If everything is living matter, then modern biology and materials science are, in fact, a single discipline: a science of matter as such, since all matter is alive.
But when I arrived at the dance courtyard, I was overwhelmed by #fear and loneliness. I just sat there, watching as more and more people I didn't know kept arriving. After that, I simply stood up and went home
Only on the evening of january 2 did I realize that I could have told someone. Some outwardly smiling stranger, about my insecurity and started a first conversation.
I want to tell a story about how I don't know how to ask for help
On Dec 31, after finishing all my tasks by the evening, I decided to go to a dance party. I am learning to dance #kizomba and for a guy it's an especially difficult dance. On the night between december and january, I wanted to dance in an unfamiliar place. I thought I would dance badly so I decided not to judge myself in any way and simply offer myself as a dance partner.
@DXBTim2008 I've been using Tusky for over a year and a half. so far, I'm happy with everything
When I was a kid, I often felt my emotions by placing myself in these very specific imaginary locations. As I grew older, some of those places slowly disappeared.
Recently I decided to take my imagination back and build an inner home filled with the images and ideas I genuinely believe in.
This little “house in my mind” helps me stay grounded. When I talk to someone, it feels like inviting them into a cozy living room where I keep the things I’m ready to share.
Could you recommend some alternatives to obsidian and briefly mention why each one is worth checking out?
The contrast between the vibrant jacket and the muted, grimy setting immediately pulls the eye toward the character.

Wiener’s warning about handing real decisions to adaptive machines feels present now.
Their reasoning is powerful and often effective, yet it moves in ways that remain strangely opaque, at once impressive and unsettling.
When Norbert Wiener published "God & Golem, Inc." in 1964, his reflections appeared to many as an esoteric extension of cybernetics into folklore.
We’re learning this the hard way in 2025. Our systems don’t just capture useful patterns from vast human data.
They also inherit distortions, strategies, even impulses we never intended.
#Alignment has become our constant concern, a reminder that what we ask for and what we get are rarely symmetrical.
This tension in color draws the viewer’s eye to key narrative elements: control, leadership, and danger.

This miniature seems to draw heavily from both Mad Max-style dystopian fiction and cyberpunk visual language. It’s a world where chaos reigns, but swagger and self-expression survive.

Approached the Tucker / Altman interview with profound skepticism. I expected a master of corporate deceit.
What I observed was a man surprisingly inept at it, his discomfort a transparent veil.
The animosity I felt has curdled into a sort of bitter amusement.
