@vuecinemas Harrow checking in! Apparently, prices are a state secret here. Just two combo options on repeat with no menu. How's a person supposed to know if they're getting fleeced? 🤔 This is cinema 101, folks.

Introducing Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental! 🎉 Our newest Gemini model has stellar performance across math and science benchmarks. It’s an incredible model for coding and complex reasoning, and it’s #1 on the @lmarena_ai leaderboard by a drastic 40 ELO margin. Only a handful of model releases have leaped ahead so strongly in ELO. 📈 ELO score differences map directly to win rate: e.g. a 400 ELO difference yields a ~91% win rate. Incredible that since 1.5, just a year ago, we jumped 200 ELO (300 since 1.0). Here’s a fun example where Gemini 2.5 Pro writes code to create an animated swarm of colorful boids swimming in a rotating hexagon. 💫 Try the model for free today in AI Studio. It’s also available to Gemini Advanced users in @geminiapp. aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/ge… Blog: goo.gle/4c3NitO

@taiyasaki Here's one that wasn't even clever...

It's almost surely unintentional that this mistake is in the author's favor. Nonetheless, it further erodes my confidence in the current ML publishing environment.

@karpathy we should call it the halting problem...that's not taken yet, is it?

Our paper, Recursive sequence generation in crows (or Re-crow-sion, my preferred title) is out! Thanks to an awesome team (@KatharinaBrecht, @MillieJohnston_ , A_Nieder), we found that crows join primates in being able to grasp center-embedded sequences. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This is great work in this space, congrats to the authors! I do wish I was a reviewer on this as there are some nuances worth unpacking but overall this is really compelling and important work! Wishlist: 1) try object-based models (OP3?) 2) eval models trained on SAYCam data

Trying some code out in Julia and let me tell you: importing (or rather including) into the global namespace is the fastest way to make your code unreadable. Where is this function defined?!? Is this really how people write packages in Julia or am I missing something?

Can you help me identify this robot? I haven't been able to figure it out just from this silhouette. I need to give a presentation to my daughter about the robots on my t-shirt. Thanks!

@criticalneuro @alec_helbling @manim_community Omfg Ida. Did you really just explain that to me within the span of a tweet more effectively than hours of (I think JuliaLang-stuffed) IRL presentations??!? With graphical depictions to boot. A-mazing!

@caranha wulfebw.github.io/post/ssb64-rl-… might be able to adapt that to Mario kart 64?

@criticalneuro I was wondering why you were up tweeting so late in NYC but obvs you were ✈️. It looks beautiful! Way to make lemonade out of your deadline/vacation collision.

I'm really proud of this work. I'm mega, ultra, jumbo grateful for the support of my collaborators, family, and colleagues to make this project a reality. I hope researchers use our dataset directly and/or engage with more nuanced, specific and psych-inspired benchmarks.

@criticalneuro @tyrell_turing @TonyZador @MelMitchell1 @caswellcaswell @ev_fedorenko I am a big fan of Rosa Cao's and Dan Yamin's papers on "Explanatory models in neuroscience." Not sure if they count as hidden gems but happy to give them a shoutout either way :)

My 3yo has reinvented the filibuster: at bedtime she asks to sing the first song and then makes up a neverending song. It is too adorable to be frustrating and she does eventually run out of steam.
