Can sleep’s core benefits be delivered without actually sleeping? Scientists induced sleep-like neuronal “off periods” during wakefulness in mice, reducing local sleep pressure, weakening synaptic strength, and even restoring memory consolidation during sleep deprivation. The findings suggest key functions of sleep may depend on specific brain activity patterns rather than sleep itself.

interesting, it seems there is a place in the brain where the entire body movements are exposed, unlike the theories followed previously

if/when we'll get to the verified code generation, whether with LLMs or with formally proven generators, we'll still have vulnerabilities.
except they'll be in the task descriptions or the tests themselves

You "win" https://t.co/y2fdv7oJiN – ZKSecurity’s FV contest – by writing the most optimized formally verified circuit for cryptographic primitives.
But how does the best SHA256 circuit have a cost of 0?
Here's how we exploited the FV spec for the top score…

man ignore the benchmarks and the race i just want there to always remain a frontier level intelligence model that is open and safe, available to everyone regardless of region

Schema, a harness that has frontier models play like physicists: write each game’s mechanism as an executable program, test it against reality, and plan inside it. The name is inspired by Immanuel Kant: a schema is a rule of construction that bridges from abstract concept to concrete perception.

the intensity of the push to /replace/ ECC with PQC instead of hardening puts doubt on the security of the whole PQ setup

Bernard Arnault going direct is remarkable and worth reading in full
The single most impressive thing is that Arnault (personally, not via company spokesman) responds to a major hit piece without at all accepting the role of defendant
He never complains…

If you tether two airfoils to each other and make them fly at different altitude, you can exploit the difference in wind speed to keep the conraption aloft with no tether point. With some clever control logic you can even get it to tack upwind. @smartereveryday…
