What if I told you any shape can be... broken down into circles? This visualization demonstrates the stunning power of the Fourier Transform. By using a series of rotating vectors—known as epicycles—we can reconstruct complex, continuous paths from simple circular motions. Each circle represents a specific frequency, phase, and amplitude. When these rotating arrows are added together, the resulting "tip" traces out the intricate outline you see here. It’s where pure mathematics meets digital art, proving that even the most complex designs are just a symphony of oscillations. Credit: mathswithmuzashow more

The recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) CSAIL paper... published on Recursive Language Models is a fascinating look into how AI systems reason in 2026. You can check it out here ➡️ → The paper notes that even frontier models suffer from “context rot” as inputs grow longer. More tokens don’t mean more understanding. Instead of compressing or summarising, RLMs “treat long prompts as part of an external environment” …and let the model programmatically inspect, decompose, and recursively requery itself over precise sections. This matters in Web3. Why? Smart contracts are long, stateful, and brittle. One missed assumption = unnecessary hassle. In the video below, we applied RLM principles to improve the prompt shown. The old prompt would try to force multi-step pauses. Therefore breaking the AI's workflow. Now it decomposes requirements, scores confidence for each component, verifies the logic, and then synthesises. Result = Production-ready contracts with flagged risks, not blind single-pass outputs.

How the 🆅🅴🅽🆃🆁🅸🅲🅻🅴 contracts.. . . . 💗Another great... thing I picked up from Cardiothoracic surgery was understanding how the ventricles contract. The ventricle Is such a complex structure that we are learning more and more about. One thing that has helped us understand this complex structure is strain imaging and 3D echocardiography. We have learned that the ventricle contracts in 4 ways: contraction (radial) motion but it also has a twisting (torsional and circumferential) and shortening (longitudinal) motion. . . . 👐🏽The surgeon I always work with often described the hearts motion as “wringing of a towel.” This can be seen in the video above. The understanding of the multiple different motions of the heart has allowed us to better understand intrinsic myocardial disease and pick up disease earlier in its process allowing us to add disease modifying agents to slow and sometimes reverse the negative remodeling of the heart. . . . 💓So next time you think of your heart pumping don’t think of it in one motion (squeeze) but rather a Towel being wrung of water. The heart is such an amazing organ and we are just now really beginning to understand it’s truly complex physiology! . . .

Our first test flight is just the beginning! Behind... the scenes, we are focused on up-scaling and improving our technology. We are excited to announce that we have successfully tested the central subsystem of our Helix 2.0 oxygen-rich staged-combustion engine: the powerpack. We have performed two successful hot-fire tests in which we have shown steady-state operation and cavitation limits. The powerpack incorporates the turbopump and pre-burner(s). It is the most complex as well as the most mechanically and thermally stressed subsystem of a staged-combustion engine. This milestone validated key technological challenges, such as the simultaneous ignition of multiple pre-burners and turbopump cavitation performance. The results are in-line with the predictions from our design models. The closed-cycle architecture of Helix allows us to push the performance envelope further: Helix 2.0 is designed to deliver double the thrust (200kN), while mass, production technology and costs remain comparable to Helix 1.0. The result for our customers: more payload for a lower budget! Excited about this news? Check out our career portal for employment opportunities and help us to elevate our Helix staged-combustion engine technology to the next level! ➡️show more

June 4th, 1994 our lives forever changed. We said,... “I do!”. With those two words, we said, yes, to all the highs, the lows, and everything in between. God has blessed us with four absolutely amazing children who are now amazing adults, with their own best friends/significant others (that they’re doing life with), we have three incredible grandsons, and a beautiful granddaughter on the way. We’ve lived where we both grew up (on the East Coast), and have now been out here in San Diego for just over 11 years. We’ve gotten jobs (and lost jobs), we’ve had more times than we can count where we couldn’t make ends meet, even though both you and I were working two, and sometimes three jobs at a time, and we’ve been blessed in ways that we could’ve never dreamed of. We’ve watched both my parents pass on, and are now dealing with the overwhelmingly difficult challenge of seeing your parents struggle with their own health in ways that no one should have to go through. Through it all (even in the midst of the chaos), we’ve been blessed to be by each other‘s sides! I thank God for you every day, Jillian! I love our adventures together (the big ones where we fly to somewhere we’ve never been before, and the little ones where we hop in the car with no agenda, and just drive). I love when we find ourselves in deeper conversation, laughter, and tears of joy then ever expected, and in the moments of silence, where no words are even spoken, but when we’re together, just being where our feet are. As the world (as we know it), keeps getting crazier and crazier, let’s continue to keep Christ in the center of all we do, keep leaning on and lifting each other up when it’s needed, and keep living the lives that we have been so incredibly blessed to live together. I love you with all my heart Jillian. Happy 32nd (heading into our 33rd year), Anniversary.show more

I am a son of a mother who studied... dietetics in New York, who taught me that our bodies are a temple to serve Allah by being good to others. My father, a career diplomat and a product of Ahmadu Bello University where he participated in extracurricular activities such as basketball always had time for the family and was my basketball coach since I was a toddler. My dearest Bappa and Mommy, through your quiet sacrifices, you taught me that true leadership is rooted in integrity and that the greatest legacy one can leave is the service of others. I am the the product of your prayers and a reflection of the values you instilled in me from the very beginning. As you celebrate the 49th anniversary of your blessed union, I thank you for being my first teachers and my lifelong inspiration.show more

Barely a year ago, I reached out to my... friend and now my business partner GMI telling him of how I want us to own an Estate that stands the test of time. We pulled heavy funds together, partnered with a company and built something magnificent. Looking back at that decision and I realized that it's good to have a dream, but it's even better to have friends that can dream with you and see how much greatness can be accomplished together. Our small Estate is now worth heavy 9 figures and climbing daily. Having good friends in this generation is an unfair advantage. The rewards are infinite.show more

Super important: Don’t let the Harris/Walz chaos distract you... from that the same Democrats that funded E. Jean Carroll’s case against Trump, are funding the one against RFK Jr. in New York currently. If RFK loses this case he will most likely be taken off every ballot throughout the U.S. The case is questioning whether RFK can claim he’s a New York resident like he did in order to get ballot access in New York. Yes, something that trivial and pointless could be manipulated in a way to prevent RFK from being on your ballot this fall. A no jury trial in New York, and complete weaponization of the justice system from the Democrats once again. We need to raise as much awareness about this insanity as we can. RFK should be out campaigning now that he’s finally done gathering signatures but instead he’s battling a case proving his residence in a state who’s taxes he pays and every single license he has is registered with.show more

Model-Free Reinforcement Learning (MFRL) has been alluring, especially with... supercharged compute with physics on GPU. However, the methods use 0-th order gradients, and are often not the best optimizers. Can we do better than PPO in continuous control for robotics? Turns out yes! 🥳 tl;dr: Faster, better RL than PPO in continuous control 💪 The answer lies in using more information from the simulation. We are juicing the simulation on GPU as it is, why not use it for gradients as well? This has been a driving question in a series of our works. We first studied this problem in ICLR 2022 paper on Short Horizon Actor Critic Naive gradient based methods are stuck in local minima and have exploding/vanishing gradients. SHAC solved this problem truncated rollouts and model based value estimation, where the model is Differentiable Sim. This boosted sample efficiency and wall-clock time immensely especially in high dimensional systems such as humanoids Yet, given enough compute PPO often caught up. Our follow up paper on on Adaptive Horizon Actor Critic at ICML 2024 discovers the cause and provides a fix. However, we find that even when given ground-truth dynamics, not all gradients are useful due to sample error. 1st-Order Model-Based Reinforcement Learning methods employing differentiable simulation provide gradients with reduced variance but are susceptible to bias in scenarios involving stiff dynamics, such as physical contact. We find that back-propagating through contact and long trajectories drastically reduces gradient accuracy. Using this insight, we propose AHAC to dynamically adapt its roll-out horizon to avoid differentiating through stiff contact. AHAC is a first-order model-based RL algorithm that learns high-dimensional tasks in minutes (wall clock) and outperforms PPO by 40%, even in the limit of data provided to PPO. This work is led by Ignat Georgiev alongside Krishnan Srinivasan, Jie Xu, Eric Heiden and ample assistance from warp team at NVIDIA Robotics (Miles Macklin)show more

Yesterday at Brown University ICERM's workshop on “Agentic Scientific... Computing and Scientific Machine Learning” I spoke about “Adaptive Swarms Across Scales”, making the case for scientific AI as systems that can create representations, stress them, fracture them, and enlarge the category in which future representations live. The category here is a composable and breakable working universe of science: data, hypotheses, simulations, measurements, tools, failures, figures, papers, provenance, and the transformations that connect them. Discovery happens when those transformations become executable, inspectable, composable, and capable of changing the world model they operate within. Atomistic modeling gives one category - states, forces, trajectories, observables, boundary conditions, conservation laws. Neural surrogates learn fast morphisms inside or between such categories. But discovery is higher-order: it changes which objects and morphisms are available in the first place: what variables exist, what operations are allowed, what evidence counts, what scale is active, what invariant is being preserved, and what kind of explanation the system is even capable of forming. This is scientific method as adaptive architecture: compression, stress, fracture, recomposition. Fracture matters here because it makes the logic physical: a non-commuting diagram realized in matter. The imposed load, material hierarchy, defect field, and assumed continuum description no longer map cleanly into the observed outcome. The crack is the obstruction and it identifies where the old morphism failed and where a new representation must be introduced. The physical crack and the categorical obstruction are the same event viewed in different substrates. ScienceClaw × Infinite is a machine for constructing and transforming a category of scientific artifacts. Each artifact is typed. Each operation has lineage. Each failed branch remains in the category as reusable structure. The “paper” is no longer the terminal object of science; it is one projection of a larger compositional trace, and it can be generated at any time for consumption by a human or an AI. With that the unit of scientific labor is changing. For most of the twentieth century the unit was the result (a measurement, a theorem, a synthesized molecule). It is now becoming the algorithm that produces results, and after that, the substrate of discovery itself. The static PDF is the wrong terminal object for this regime, and the role of the scientist with it. We now design algorithms that build algorithms, and eventually substrates in which such algorithms compose themselves. At that point, the scientist is no longer outside the discovery system. The scientist becomes one of the representations the system can transform. In that sense, the systems will eventually do science to us, and that is the structural consequence of the principle they are built on.show more

Why is my baby screaming? The answer may just... be: Because they can. As newborns, babies rely heavily on a limited vocal repertoire of cries, coos, and gurgles. But as they begin approaching six months, they begin to experiment with a whole new array of sounds. We call this vocal play. Put simply, it’s a process through which infants experiment with their voices (and mouths) and begin learning to mimic many of the component sounds that will later make up their formal speech. This includes most any sound that can be made with the mouth, from screams, to growls, to blowing raspberries. Check out this little guy as he delights in his newly discovered screech. He’s not in distress, as his broad smile lets us know. Instead he’s just trying out the cool new trick he can do with his mouth. Of course screams can relay pain and fear as well, but rest assured that not EVERY scream is a “scream.” Some are just fun experiments. This playful little guy was shared to TT by steviemoriah.show more

So Orb has blown me away again. I simulated... the carbonic anhydrase enzyme with it: one of the most important and well studied enzymes in biology. (It converts CO2 to bicarbonate and is involved in many diseases and could also be useful for carbon capture.) Remarkably, despite only being trained on small crystals, it manages to spontaneously reproduce the proton relay carrying protons from the zinc-bound water to the His64 residue — a mechanism that took over a decade of careful experimental studies to unravel. Even more surprisingly, it also suggests a new previously unreported reaction mechanism for forming bicarbonate, which actually makes a lot of sense and independent quantum chemistry show is plausible. (Done with Rowan). Preprint here: You can check out the trajectories yourself, i.e,: (Thanks Alexander Mathiasen) Orb itself can be found here:show more
