First, let’s talk about “grokking”.
In 2022, OpenAI published a paper showing that if you train a model on a simple dataset
(for instance, a simple mathematical operation like division),
and keep training it long after the training looks like it’s stalled out,
the model will suddenly make a massive jump in capability.
Why does this work?
The first stage of training is like rote memorization:
the model has to compress as much of the training data as…

Overtraining as the path to human-like AI

Heat waves: Expert tips on redesigning UK homes to cope with hotter temperatures
As the UK prepares for the third heat wave of 2026, most people will be hoping to keep cool at home. Building regulations to protect homes from overheating were introduced in 2022. These require all new homes to be checked at the design stage to see if they might be at risk of overheating. If the overheating risk is high, the architect has to make changes to the design.

SEC-Klage zu Twitter-Übernahme: Elon Musk will 1,5 Millionen US-Dollar bezahlen
Anfang 2022 hat Elon Musk heimlich angefangen, Aktien von Twitter zu kaufen. Damit hat er Geld gespart. Dafür will er nun 1,5 Millionen US-Dollar Strafe zahlen.

„Drei Jahre lang - von 2022 bis 2025 - hatten die Forscher das etwa 3.500 Quadratkilometer große Einzugsgebiet der Unteren Spree zwischen Spreewald und Berlin untersucht.
Laut dem Bericht zählt die Region zu den wasserärmsten Gebieten Deutschlands. Die Grundwasserstände seien lokal seit dem Jahr 2000 um bis zu drei Meter gesunken.“

📢 Weidel und Chrupalla als AfD-Vorsitzende wiedergewählt

My mother brought me to this country from Peru as a young boy.
She always told me that we need to work hard, give back, and help our community,
because that is what it means to be an American. 


When she died of COVID-19,
I promised I would fight like hell for every family like ours.
In 2022 my community sent me to Congress - the first openly LGBTQ immigrant ever elected - to do just that. 

I’m Robert Garcia – now the top Democrat on the House Ov…

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020.

Practitioners At The Limit: Bereavement, Mockery and Ideology in Response to Crisis
After decades in which the software industry heroized its technical employees, our current moment finds those employees in crisis. Economically, they are squeezed by a job market that has turned on them since Elon Musk gutted Twitter in 2022. Politically, their craft is continually pressed into the service of an ever tighter alliance between Big Tech and authoritarianism. Professionally, they find themselves less and less able to contribute anything good to anyone within business models that ar…

Kouloglou travelled to interview spyware victims and probe high-profile cases.
