TIL that a "Hand of Glory" was the pickled hand of a hanged man, used as a candlestick for a candle rendered from that same man's fat. A lit candle in the Hand was believed to leave motionless anyone shown it, and only milk would put out the flame. An actual one is kept at Whitby Museum in England.

⚑️ OpenAI says it has solved the Navier–Stokes problem.

The proof was produced by a group of 10,000 AI agents running on an internal model that the company says is more powerful than GPT-6 Astra. It took 88 hours and 130 billion output tokens.

The agents showed that the flow of a viscous fluid under a smooth external force accelerates to infinite speed in finite timeβ€”meaning the equations stop describing reality. OpenAI does not intend to claim the $1 million prize.

There are already questions about the result: mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and Levent AlpΓΆge of Anthropic today released their own proofs for related equations, along with a statement describing how OpenAI proposed publishing the Navier–Stokes work without AlpΓΆge, because he works for a competitor.

In the photo: Vasyl Glazkov in Linz, Austria, on June 1, 1987, attending the annual commemoration of the Cossack victims who were handed over by the British to the Bolsheviks in 1945.
The Don Cossack Vasyl Glazkov was a leader and organizer of the KNOD (Cossack National Liberation Movement), which advocated the establishment of an independent Cossack state. The movement developed primarily in Czechoslovakia, where a large community of Γ©migrΓ© Don Cossacks had settled and established themselves.
Among them were Don Cossacks, including Colonel of the UNR Army Mykhailo Frolov, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, as well as Kuban, Don, and Terek Cossacks who had served in the Cossack Division of the UNR Army.
The KNOD advocated a close alliance with Ukrainians. Glazkov himself actively maintained contacts with General Mykhailo Omelyanovych-Pavlenko, Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi, and Colonel Ivan Poltavets-Ostryanytsia.
During World War II, Glazkov actively contributed to the formation of Cossack units within the Wehrmacht. He consistently opposed any cooperation with, or incorporation of Cossack formations into, General A. A. Vlasov's KONR. Instead, he favored an alliance between the Cossack formations and the Ukrainian National Army (UNA) under General Pavlo Shandruk.
General Pavlo Shandruk, commander of the UNA in 1945, later wrote about Glazkov in his book Arms of Valor:
β€œA well-known leader of the Don independence movement, an energetic opponent of the KONR, engineer V. Glazkov, was very pleased with the prospects of political cooperation with our Ukrainian brothers at our first meeting. He believed that the situation could change for the better for us, because all nations enslaved by Moscow would now have significant military forces on the side of Moscow’s enemy, and that these forces would play a decisive role in liberating their peoples.”

After the war, Glazkov spent some time imprisoned by the Western Allies in the Dachau camp. Despite his extensive KNOD network and numerous connections, he was eventually released. He later settled in the United States, where he worked with the CIA.

Three jurors have now come forward in the Lindsay Clancy case.

One juror described what happened during deliberations with the lone holdout:

β€œHe admitted he had reasonable doubt…. I started filling out the forms. I was so excited…. And then he said, β€˜But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.’
