Someone made a Linux script that emails Sam Altman every day to report how much unused RAM is sitting in your PC. Called Ram-Altman, it monitors your free memory and sends him a daily email if more than 10% is unused. It even includes different email messages and a test mode.

Sverige har ett överskott på 80 000 män I åldrarna 20-40 år. Så inte lika lätt för män att vara kräsna.

Mäns önskemål om en partner kretsar främst kring fertilitet och utseende, skriver Hanif Bali. Han menar att det männen inte väljer bort kan få konsekvenser för nästa generations begåvning.

Oavsett vad man tycker om vägvalet som sådant ska Åkesson ha heder av att han baserar sitt tänkande och agerande på det reellt existerande *valresultatet*. Ett föredöme för många, i och runt politiken.

Nice: PubMed has stopped indexing Nature's @SciReports because it's not really a peer-reviewed journal: they accept almost everything as long as you pay their exhorbitant $2850 fee. Just a cash cow for @SpringerNature. PubMed should do more of this! retractionwatch.com/2026/10/…

Scientific Reports on hold in PubMed while NLM reevaluates journal

Am I correct in thinking the two-month lag between election and assuming office is because 250 years ago it took a couple months to get to DC on a horse? If so, maybe time to retire that nonsense?

I submitted a grant application in January, it was rejected in March. I submitted a longer version in April, also rejected. Since I have still not received a single word of feedback I have put it on arXiv if someone wants to comment. arxiv.org/abs/2601.17986

Federated learning for unpaired multimodal data

Training of multimodal foundation models is currently restricted to centralized data centers containing massive, aligned datasets (e.g., image-text pairs). However, in realistic federated...

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Community note
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.

That's why I only review for funding agencies who provide written feedback for all applicants. If more researchers followed this rule the funding agencies would be forced to provide feedback.

It’s brutal - and, unfortunately, it’s perfectly normal. Most fundings bodies I know of give zero feedback and no reason for rejection.

If I get a 4 out of 7 for merits of the applicant, with a PNAS paper with 4 k citations, wonder what is needed for 5, 6 or 7

Grant applications have become a lottery. A 60% growth in applications to one of the world’s most prestigious research-grant programs is resulting in an exceptionally low success rate I think this is one of the major problems of AI--it's creating tsunami of grant applications and turning the decision process into chaos. Grant decisions already felt fairly random and this seems to make the system worse. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
