1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.
New preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… (led by @HesseJanis, with @FrankLanfranchi, @_conor_mcgrory, @Yuelin_Shi, and @EngelTatiana)

This little open-source crab robot called Jumper is seriously cool 🦀🤖

I merged a change that should reduce the size of your Rust `target` directory by ~20% during development.
It turns out the compiler was retaining an extra completed snapshot for every crate that was incrementally recompiled.

i love twitter
within just 2 hours of tweeting an RSA-260 factor, a researcher from the team who factored RSA-155 in 1999 shows up in the replies to say congrats

In the coming few years, most engineers will heavily rely on AI to build software. Loops will produce and review code, while engineers will be out of the loop, figuratively and literally.
The final product, which is supposed to be used by humans, is unrecognizable by the engineers who built it. Bugs and performance issues will arise, and the engineers will go back to the loops to fix them.
The loops will fix the bugs but produce more others. Eventually, we will reach a stage where we can’t possibly know what is wrong with the system, because the agent built its own framework, libraries and abstraction that only it understands.
The product will get into a state where no one can read or understand the code and only the loops can fix them.
Loops need tokens, and engineers will have no choice but to shovel them like coal into the Titanic’s boilers.
Very few engineers will be able to understand and troubleshoot systems. Those rare engineers who kept their skills sharp will be in high demand when we reach that state.
By all means use AI but not to an extent it dulls your critical thinking.

I am committing INR 1 Cr to find Bangalore Choke-Points via Google Maps & AL.
11 km → 2.15 hours in Bangalore Traffic on Saturday late night!
I was stuck at one choke-point at ORR, where I spent 100 mins struggling to understand why there is no traffic-light or cop here!
But I don’t want one more “Bengaluru Traffic Memes or Rant”. I WANT TO FIX IT.
Very recently, in April 2025, Google Maps started sharing "Road Management Insight". It's a city-level data in Big Query format.
Using Google Data and Satellite Imagery, we can list down all the choke-points & their exact timings in a month. For the traffic department to work on those areas specifically.
I am willing to spend INR 1 Crore on this project by funding: 1-2 senior ML/AI engineers. And providing budget for using Google Maps API calls, Satellite Imagery & GPUs
I will start this project, when BTP/BBMP: Open their raw feeds or API access AND names a team, committed to acting on the insights we generate.
🙌 How can you help right now?
1. TAG anyone you know in the Bangalore Traffic Office, BBMP or the Traffic Commissioner’s office, let this hit the right inbox.
2. ML/AI folks: comment "IN", if you can work along part-time to end this menace
3. Every commuter who’s sick of bleeding time: comment or share. More noise -> faster response.
Bengalore is India’s tech future; and people making it happen deserve MUCH better.

It’s a hefty 206-page research paper, and the findings are concerning.
"LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels"
This study finds LLM dependence weakens the writer’s own neural and linguistic fingerprints. 🤔🤔
Relying only on EEG, text mining, and a cross-over session, the authors show that keeping some AI-free practice time protects memory circuits and encourages richer language even when a tool is later reintroduced.

Congrats!!! Besides the paper itself, it's super cool that they've built and verified the correctness of popular K8s controllers. With Anvil, you can use a K8s controller with confidence 🥳

A really cool idea for REPL:
The 'explain' command that takes a piece of code and describes its every part in a beginner-friendly way.
I don't recall any programming language doing this.
Here's my prototype for OCaml 👇
What do you think?
ALT An 'explain' function in OCaml that pretty-prints and explains the definition of the following type signature: type 'a tree = | Leaf | Node of 'a * 'a tree * 'a tree

For more than a decade, memory safety vulnerabilities have consistently represented more than 65% of vulnerabilities across products, and across the industry. On Android, we’re now seeing something different:
