Meet our Solar System's newest dwarf planet candidate: 2026 ED138! Orbiting past Pluto, scientists found it in NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory data from earlier this year. Early analysis suggests it's ~600–1500 km across, one of the largest found past Neptune!🔭🧪 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-f...

Rosalega mikið "smoke and mirrors" dót í gangi með AI. Ætli stóryrtum yfirlýsingum muni ekki fækka eftir því sem stjórnendur verði auðugri post-ipo
Going from claiming your company is working on technology that might destroy humanity to leaking you’re on track to generate $100 billion in sales this year, just in time for the IPO. Makes it hard to defend the claims that this hasn’t all been a cynical form of marketing and regulatory capture.

Það er svo ótrúlegt að engin af Epstein köllunum hafi enn verið lögsóttur, hvað þá rannsakaður. Á sama tíma eru konur nú að nálgast á þriðja tug í BNA sem hafa verið lögsóttar fyrir ólöglegar fóstureyðingar síðan að hæstiréttur felldi Roe vs Wade úr gildi
🚨 BREAKING: Epstein-associated donors gave nearly $4.7 million to Mike Rogers' campaign and political committees while he opposed releasing the Epstein files, arguing for more redactions to "protect somebody who got an airplane and rode with him." www.metrotimes.com/news/donors-...

Very forceful statement by Terry Tao about AI and math. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... Note, he is not claiming the models aren't real and powerful. He's talking about how that power should be used. This, I believe, is what all AI discussions should center.

this is so cool like, an under-reported thing about the sand that thinks playing Go is that we've managed to *learn things about the game* from it and, ourselves, become better players as a result, and this is proof of that, I think so fucking rad
