Awesome work!
And they even use our Frontier decoder ;-)
Congrats to quantinuum on seeing color code lifetime improve 12x going from d=3 to d=5 and ~12x again from d=5 to d=7: cdn.prod.website-files.com/6…
Notes:
- This suggests practical error rates reached at d≈21; need more qubits
- The 20ms cycle time is brutally slow; need more speed
not a criticism (at all!), but I find it striking that nowadays, even explanatory texts of AI proofs are written mostly by AI
I really think that the days where experts are needed to digest and rewrite AI papers are counted.
My friend and colleague Bill Banks has just uploaded a very nice exposition on the proof of no Siegel zeros:

Physics Nobel prize fro the rubik's cube!
or maybe for the IceCube?
anyway, congrats to Francis Halzen!
What's fascinating with the flurry of new math results these days is that a nonnegligible part use fairly simple ideas that can be explained in the abstract, e.g. for solving linear systems

pretty disappointing
Today we’re launching America.gov, a single front door to the federal government.
Instead of opening a bunch of tabs across different agency sites and trying to figure out which information actually matters to you, you can ask America a question and get the relevant answer from across 29,000+ official government websites, with the source and what to do next.
oh that's interesting! The authors share the draft generated by Astra, as a companion to their arxiv submission.

How much AI is contributing to recent quantum papers on arxiv? Looking at the papers with at least 20 (or 50) votes on scirate for the past 3 months shows the speed of the revolution.
this is fantastic!
Breaking math news: The first-ever 3D Einstein tile, an object that tiles space in a never-repeating pattern, has been found by independent researcher Ioannis Tsiokos using GPT Astra. Resembles a chair. Mathematicians have de-slopped the proof. @kkakaes: quantamagazine.org/updates/t…
this is not slowing down.
We’re working with an independent advisory group of mathematicians to help OpenAI responsibly share advances in AI and mathematics.
The group will advise on how we assess and communicate new mathematical results, uphold academic and professional standards, and build tools that support mathematical research and learning.
Through this work, we want mathematicians to be at the center of shaping how AI supports mathematical understanding and how its benefits reach the wider community.
