@kenobit @Luca_FIRE Breve aggiornamento sul porting C64 di Monkey Island: ho proposto sulla loro pagina l'approccio a capitoli/milestones per gestire il testo un blocco alla volta. L'idea è piaciuta molto. Al momento siamo in attesa che Andreas Larsson o gli altri sviluppatori leggano il post e ci diano il feedback tecnico, ma soprattutto il word count preciso (totale e del Capitolo 1) che ci serve per quantificare la mole di lavoro. Appena ho i numeri reali ti aggiorno subito! 🤞💾

Quroum Beg at 95% with just a few days to go fundraising to take fascist Laxley-Lennon/Robinson to court over lies and harassment.

If you've got anything to help him over the line, now's the time to donate. The campaign is all or nothing so if it doesn't reach the target there's no case

Nétanyahou avait été informé de l'attaque du Hamas quelques jours avant le 7 octobre 2023, par le président des Emirats arabes unis, Mohammed ben Zayed. Pire, dans les premiers jours suivant le 7 Octobre, le Hamas aurait proposé de libérer au moins une partie importante des civils capturés, avec le Qatar comme médiateur. Mais Israël aurait privilégié la guerre et la destruction du mouvement terroriste https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-security/2026-09-08/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/netanyahu-got-an-explicit-warning-before-oct-7-he-didnt-brief-security-chiefs/000001a0-7a3b-d7d5-a9fc-7eff3d0f0000

#Introduction

Hello fediverse,

I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at #CNRS and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasmas physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

I may still post the occasional #Birdphotography and #NaturePhotography of #LariegeCestMoche here to pimp this new TL though 😎

RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

OpenAI claims that they used 300 billion output tokens from a swarm of ~10,000 concurrent instances of an internal model that is almost certainly larger and more expensive to run than GPT-6. That's the total token output, including exploring related problems, which, along with spying on other researchers work via codex, "led them to the solution," so that is the minimal accounting of what led to the solution.

All of OpenAI's API costs are presumed to be subsidized, lower than the actual cost of running the models. If one were to pay the API costs for 300 billion tokens for GPT-6, at $75 per million output tokens with long context, that would be 22.5 million dollars of tokens (the minimum, assuming 100% cached output with short context is still 3.75 million, but that's an unrealistic minimum). OpenAI apparently also had a full team of people working on this, so 22.5 million doesn't include their salaries, etc.

Tristan Buckmaster only has one grant listed from NSF, a CAREER grant for $450k from 2022 through 2028, averaging $70k per year the last three years.

If i search the NSF grants database for any award from the Division of Mathematical Sciences with "navier-stokes" in the abstract (surely, imprecise, and most likely a sizeable overcount because this is "all work that mentions the equation" not "work spent specifically on the millenium prize proof"), then i get $135m worth of awards since 1978, including large training grants for centers, etc. so $22.5m would be ~16% (or, roughly, 1/6th) of all funding that NSF has allocated to research that mentions the problem in their grants for almost 50 years.

If i then use NSF's API to find all the publications that have come from these grants, I find 4,928 papers. I can match 4264 to entries in OpenAlex (85%), yielding 142,606 citations (1/6 of which is 710, and 23,767, respectively).

So, assuming we believe OpenAI's accounting, the headline is basically "OpenAI researchers seem to have stolen the work of mathematicians that were using Codex, and then spent 1/6 of all the funding NSF has given with abstracts mentioning navier-stokes over the past 50 years, which amounts to an entire subdiscipline of work, feeding, housing, and training generations of mathematicians, in order to generate a proof two of the statements in a millenium prize problem"

I dont know how NSF funds math, but i sort of doubt they give grants for "try to solve millenium problems full stop." idk, maybe an alternative strategy would be to just "fund basic research," because even in this specific domain of an axiomatic universe with an unambiguously evaluable solution to a problem where brute force is possible, "AI" doesn't seem like it's really that much of a bargain, and "paying people to be experts at things" has lots of known good side effects like "someone actually understands the solution"
