Wolfram's writings about irreducible complexity are irreducible and hence un-abstractable :)

Why Does Biological Evolution Work? A Minimal Model for Biological Evolution and Other Adaptive Processes
Stephen Wolfram explores simple models of biological organisms as computational systems. A study of progressive development, multiway graphs of all possible paths and the need for narrowing the framework space.

every business process can be improved by speeding it up; then these speedups accumulate and cause phase changes, often irreversible; beautifully described by Tiago here

89 characters of base-11?! Mobile networking in rural Ethiopia! by Ben Kuhn
Suppose you’re trying to build a client-server app that works in rural Ethiopia. Mobile data there doesn’t work most of the time! Of course, you’re not going to let that stop you……

Neuron
A shared model-based linguistic space for transmitting our thoughts from brain to brain in natural conversations
Zada et al. use contextual embeddings from large language models to capture linguistic
information transmitted from the speaker’s brain to the listener’s brain in real-time,
dyadic conversations.

Updated Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 Coder model is
a) solid GPT4 level in code generation (okay),
but also
b) does that in less than 0.1x the resources compared to SOTA (llama3.1) just 3 months ago 🤯 (tested both myself)

sometimes training your own model is /better/ than making an app.
also a lesson that sometimes you can reach SOTA by yourself!

St. Peter’s Church in Lucerne, Switzerland has introduced an AI hologram of Jesus, called Deus in Machina, to take confessions. The AI sits behind a screen, providing advice and responding to worshippers' queries. One participant said, “I was surprised, it was so easy, and though it’s a machine, it gave me so much advice.”
