Wow, we can steer diffusion models at inference time! Introducing Diffusion Tree Sampling (DTS): a search-based approach inspired by Monte Carlo Tree Search that turns inference into an anytime, reward-guided optimization process. Diffusion Tree Sampling (DTS) produces asymptotically exact samples from the target distribution in the limit of infinite rollouts, and its greedy variant, Diffusion Tree Search (DTS⋆), performs a global search for high reward samples. The results are pretty impressive: - On MNIST and CIFAR-10 class-conditional generation, DTS matches the FID of the best-performing baseline with up to 10× less compute. - In text-to-image generation and language completion tasks, DTS⋆ effectively searches for high reward samples that match best-of-N with up to 5× less compute.

The most important tool in Probability and Statistics - Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Method Fresh out of undergraduate Probability and Stats courses, it’s easy to feel invincible. You’ve tamed Gaussians, gammas, betas, all those neat closed-form toy distributions. Then research hits and you meet the harsher truth. Real posteriors and energy landscapes are jagged, asymmetric, multimodal, and too high-dimensional to integrate or sample from directly. You can’t compute the normalising constant. You can’t do the integrals by hand. And i.i.d. samples are basically science fiction. Markov Chain Monte Carlo is the hack we invented to survive that reality. Instead of drawing perfect samples, you send a carefully designed random walk wandering through the landscape, then use its long-run positions as your window into the target distribution. Here’s the problem. Standard trace plots and diagnostics can still cheerfully lie to you. High-dimensional geometry can make a chain that looks healthy while it’s effectively frozen. Multimodal targets, bad tuning, and hidden correlations can quietly wreck your posterior summaries. This series is about those blind spots. We’ll use visuals like this one to show how MCMC actually moves, where the guarantees get slippery, and how to think clearly about convergence and diagnostics in serious Bayesian, physics, and ML work. #BayesianInference #MCMC #MonteCarloMethods #ProbabilityLandscape #StatisticsEducation #ComputationalScience

🚨NEW: NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson *tries his best* to downplay Trump's SURGE in black support — but CBS News' Major Garrett doesn't let him off hook🚨 GARRETT: "2016, 6% of black voters in America supported candidate Donald Trump. In 2020, 8% of black voters supported President Trump for reelection. In 2024, 15% of black voters supported President Trump." "What does that movement, that near doubling of support from 2020 to 2024, tell you?" JOHNSON: "I've heard different statistics shared. I have yet to see any of it verified. Because exit polls have always been unreliable. Much of the polling we've seen over the last 20 years have been wrong on the outcome of the elections." "And I've been trying to figure out where are these numbers coming from. Is it verifiable? But it's great talking points — because people would like to show that there is momentum going in one direction versus another." GARRETT: "I'm glad you raised questions about the verifiability of the data that I just communicated to you. Just for your information and for the benefit of this conversation, that came from Pew Research. And it's data that takes not just exit polls but voter sampling and then the census community survey data." "It is regarded as the best and most comprehensive and therefore most verifiable post-election analysis. This has historically been true. So that's my verification method for you." Daily Caller

Statistics and data show exclusive games have a far higher likelihood of being higher quality and/or more graphically and technically impressive, relative to the very low volume of releases they make up vs multi-platform games. This doesn't mean exclusives can't be and aren't often bad. Nor that multi-platform games can't be or aren't often better than exclusives, just that exclusivity (inc console and timed) greatly increases the likelihood of higher quality. Despite making up less than 10% of overall releases (see video for context and details), exclusives make up; +The majority of the highest rated games ever made. +The majority of the most Game of the Year Awarded games the last 13 years. +The overwhelming majority of tech and graphics awards winners, by arguably the most prestigious institutions in the field. This isn't a coincidence, as developers themselves keep reminding us. It's because exclusives greatly benefit from single platform focus, and design, development, optimisation, studios, teams, budgets, resources, testing and time, not having to instead be spread far thinner, across many platforms. This doesn't mean all games need to be or should be exclusive. Few games are, and that's fine. But some exclusives existing to push the boundaries of single platform development, tech and design focus, as well as increasing competition in general, is ultimately a great and pro-consumer thing. At least if you're a consumer who values the pursuit of higher potential quality, over accessibility. #PS5 #Xbox #Nintendo #Switch2

A guy running quant models for a tennis betting syndicate DM'd me last month. "We spend $40K/month on data feeds. What are you using?" A webcam pointed at a tennis stream. Not metaphorically.YOLO tracks both players and the ball 30fps. A second model maps the court to real meters. Every 5 seconds I get three numbers: aggression positioning, court coverage, rally intensity. Those feed into a Bayesian engine. Beta prior on serve probability, updated every game, 15,000 Monte Carlo sims sampling from the posterior. Not point estimates - distributions with confidence intervals. 62% +/- 3% is a trade. 62% +/- 18% is noise. Most people never compute the interval. "Okay but models are wrong" That's why the model is only layer two out of five Layer three connects Polymarket and a bookmaker simultaneously. When my model says 71%, Polymarket says 62%, bookmaker says 67% - something is mispriced. Layer four is the unfair one. Claude reads every press conference transcript, news article, and social post from the last 48 hours. Extracts structured signals - injury flags, form deltas, surface comfort. JSON, not vibes. A player mentioned shoulder tightness at a presser. Claude flagged injury probability 0.25. Bookmaker didn't adjust for 3 hours. Polymarket never did. I was already in Layer five compares all four sources and finds the edge. Value, arbitrage, fade, or intel override when Claude catches something critical. "What's your hit rate" 2,400 ATP matches backtested. Model alone: 61%. With market bridge: 67%. With Claude: 72% Live 11 weeks: 247 contracts, 178 winners, +$14,200 from $1,800 He went quiet then wrote "my syndicate is rethinking our entire pipeline. We've been doing this 6 years and never used CV on live streams" They spend $40K/month. My setup: a Claude subscription and an API key Bot:

So Jacob Terkelsen, a PC diehard with a history of inaccuracies, did an apples to oranges PC comparison to try to prove Black Myth WuKong's game director was lying or wrong (lol) about Series S's ram limitations coupled with a lack of optimisation experience, being the cause for the lack of an Xbox release. Here's my video debunking him and highlighting numerous inaccuracies and/or misleading aspects to his process, conclusions and data. I've also included a second video where I debunked some of the past things he was also spectacularly wrong about, with similar misplaced analysis and poor methodology. Finally, here is a link to a debate we had in Spaces on X on this subject. Discussion from 3:33:00 onwards. There have been over a dozen studios/devs who have complained about the Series S now, including on memory issues specifically, potentially breaking NDA to do so. But of course, the fanboys continue to try to discredit the developers actually working on these consoles, the folk making the games for this hobby we love, all to pander to their own insecurities and headcanon ideals. Imagine discrediting devs who are willing to share more insight than they ought to, when we should be embracing the insider info. And imagine thinking your own typical play test was equivalent to thousands of hours of QA testing to find worst case scenarios in the game, and of peak ram use. Embarrassing. I should add, I'd imagine the majority of Black Myth WuKong likely runs absolutely fine on Series S. But game optimisation is often about ironing out a minuscule minority of worst case scenarios or issues. Even a handful of problematic areas or instances in a game, could prevent release or certification. Especially if they're egregious (repeatable crashes, bugs, VRAM topping out in a specific scenario etc). #PS5 #SeriesS #BlackMythWuKong

Especially if they're egregious (repeatable crashes, bugs, VRAM topping out in a specific scenario etc). #PS5 #SeriesS #BlackMythWuKong

Ahmedabad Crime Branch is making use of technical measures to avoid any stampede kind of situation. Anti stampede visual analytics,using reference area and crowd movement, head count algorithm. Anti-stampede algorithms on CCTV cameras are a crucial advancement in crowd management, leveraging AI and image processing to prevent dangerous situations in densely populated areas. Here's a breakdown of their usage: How they work: Real-time monitoring: AI-powered CCTV cameras continuously analyze video streams in real-time. Crowd density estimation: Algorithms calculate the number of people in a given area. This can involve: Pixel-based analysis: Converting images to black and white and counting "black pixels" (representing people). Object detection: Using machine learning models (like Mask R-CNN) to identify and count individuals, often by detecting heads or torsos. Thresholding: Pre-defined "threshold values" for crowd density are established. When the detected density crosses these thresholds, it triggers an alert. Anomaly detection: Beyond just density, these algorithms can identify unusual crowd behaviors such as: * Sudden surges in movement. * Unusual clustering patterns. * Fallen individuals. * Aggressive movements. Alerting authorities: Upon detecting a potential stampede risk, the system sends immediate alerts to security personnel or control rooms via LCD displays, GSM messages, or other communication channels. Predictive analytics: Some advanced systems use time-series prediction models to forecast crowd behavior and dynamics based on historical and real-time data, helping anticipate potential bottlenecks or overcrowding. Reinforcement learning: Algorithms can learn from past incidents to suggest optimal crowd flow routes and alternative evacuation paths during emergencies. Benefits: Proactive prevention: The primary benefit is the ability to detect and warn of potential stampedes before they occur, allowing authorities to take preventative measures. Real-time insights: Provides immediate and accurate data on crowd density and movement, far surpassing manual observation. Enhanced safety: Significantly improves safety in public spaces by reducing human error and enabling swift responses to risks. Optimized resource allocation: Helps in better deployment of security personnel and resources to areas with high crowd density. Improved efficiency: Automates a labor-intensive task, freeing up human operators for more complex decision-making. Data for future planning: The collected data can be analyzed to improve crowd management strategies for future events. Challenges: Accuracy limitations: While advanced, AI algorithms can still face challenges with: Occlusion: People blocking each other, making accurate counting difficult. Varying conditions: Changes in lighting, weather, and camera angles can affect accuracy. Bias in training data: Can lead to false positives or inaccurate detections. Computational complexity and cost: Developing and deploying such systems can be expensive due to the need for high-resolution cameras, powerful processing units, and sophisticated algorithms. Data privacy and ethical concerns: The extensive use of CCTV and AI raises concerns about individual privacy and potential misuse of data. Integration with existing infrastructure: Integrating new AI-powered systems with older CCTV networks can be complex. Human intervention still crucial: While AI can alert, human responders are still essential for effective intervention and crowd dispersal. As seen in the Kumbh Mela example, even with AI alerts, a lack of ground personnel can limit effectiveness. Defining thresholds: Determining appropriate crowd density thresholds for different environments and cultural contexts can be challenging. Real-world applications: Large public gatherings: Religious festivals (like the Kumbh Mela in India, which has used AI for crowd management), concerts, sports events, and political rallies. Transportation hubs: Railway stations, airports, and bus terminals to manage passenger flow. Shopping malls and commercial centers: To monitor crowd density during peak hours and special events. Stadiums and arenas: For managing ingress, egress, and crowd movement during events. Tourist attractions: To prevent overcrowding at popular sites. Overall, anti-stampede algorithms on CCTV cameras represent a significant leap forward in ensuring public safety, offering a powerful tool for proactive crowd management. However, their successful implementation requires careful consideration of technological limitations, ethical implications, and the continued need for effective human intervention.

Everything the government touches gets more expensive. Everything it leaves alone gets cheaper. Since January 2000, overall prices are up 93%. Wages are up 131%. Now look at what happened sector by sector. Prices that exploded: - Hospital services: +240% - College tuition: +180% - College textbooks: +150% - Medical care: +140% - Childcare: +122% - Housing: +111% Prices that collapsed: - Cellphone service: -45% - Computer software: -70% - Toys: -73% - Televisions: -97% That is not a coincidence. It is a mechanism. Every sector in the first list runs on subsidized demand and somebody else's money. Student loans pay the tuition bill. Insurance and Medicare pay the hospital bill. Subsidy programs pay the childcare bill. When the buyer never sees the real price, the price stops behaving. Every sector in the second list makes you pay directly, against global competition. There is no federal television loan program. So TVs got 97% cheaper over the same 25 years tuition nearly tripled. None of this is new. In 1987, Reagan's education secretary Bill Bennett predicted that every increase in federal student aid would simply be swallowed by tuition hikes. Economists call it the Bennett hypothesis. Four decades of data have called it correct. And yes, new cars sit on the market side at +25%. Someone will bring up the bailout, which is fair. Washington spent about 80 billion dollars on the auto rescue and taxpayers ate roughly 10 billion of it. But a one-time rescue of two companies is not a standing subsidy to every buyer. You still pay for your own car, and Toyota still exists. Even with bailouts, mandates, and tariffs, cars rose 25% while inflation ran 93%. So the next time someone tells you healthcare and college are expensive because of market failure, show them the chart. The market is the part that worked. Data: Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI, Jan 2000 to Dec 2025, via Mark J. Perry, AEI.

Big First Round news today! We’re launching Product-Market Fit Method (a free intensive 14-week experience for early founders building epic B2B SaaS companies) and publishing the first session on our internal framework for all to read (with benchmarks, Looker's real data, and tactical advice from iconic enterprise founders). Even though finding product-market fit is the single most important thing for a startup, it’s still underexplored and seen as more art than science. We wanted to change that. I’ve personally talked to hundreds of founders about this topic, digging into what they did in the first 6-9 months of company building. (We’ve published dozens of those interviews on The Review in our “Paths to PMF” series.) This video previews some of what we learned — thanks to Christina Cacioppo, Zachary Perret, lloyd tabb, Jason Boehmig, & Jack Altman for sharing their lessons! In addition to that research, we’ve also drawn from our own 20 years of data and 500+ pre-PMF investments. What emerged was a very consistent set of patterns for sales-led B2B companies — the basis for our new framework and PMF Method’s 8 tactical sessions. In the program, we help early founders discover what customers really want, build the right v1 product, and close their first enterprise sales. We ran a beta version late last year with a tight-knit group of founders (ex Stripe, Plaid, Airbnb, Twitter, Greenhouse, Grammarly) and the feedback was great — my personal favorite was: "I feel like I shaved 12 months off the time it would take us to get to PMF.” Here are a few key dates and details: - The Summer 2024 session of PMF Method runs 5/29 - 8/28. - Application deadline is 11:59 PDT May 7th. - Any early founder working on a new B2B SaaS company is welcome to apply. Bonus points if you’re technical, have a clear product idea but haven’t raised yet and are <12 months into working full time on your idea. - PMF Method is 100% free. It costs you $0 and we own 0% of your company. Like with The First Round Review and Angel Track, our mindset is to openly share knowledge that we’ve put hundreds of hours of work into curating with the broader startup community, and give it away for free. That’s why we’ve also published our framework, so every builder can use this resource, even if they don’t do the program (it’s linked in the next post). Check out the links below for more details. Can’t wait to read applications!

Big First Round news today! We’re launching Product-Market Fit Method (a free intensive 14-week experience for early founders building epic B2B SaaS companies) and publishing the first session on our internal framework for all to read (with benchmarks, Looker's real data, and tactical advice from iconic enterprise founders). Even though finding product-market fit is the single most important thing for a startup, it’s still underexplored and seen as more art than science. We wanted to change that. I’ve personally talked to hundreds of founders about this topic, digging into what they did in the first 6-9 months of company building. (We’ve published dozens of those interviews on The Review in our “Paths to PMF” series.) This video previews some of what we learned — thanks to Christina Cacioppo, Zachary Perret, lloyd tabb, Jason Boehmig, & Jack Altman for sharing their lessons! In addition to that research, we’ve also drawn from our own 20 years of data and 500+ pre-PMF investments.

XAI EXTENDS GROK IMAGINE VIDEO GENERATION TO 10 SECONDS WITH QUALITY ENHANCEMENTS xAI has updated its Grok Imagine tool to produce videos lasting 10 seconds, doubling the prior limit. This change, along with refinements in visual and audio elements, expands the tool's utility for short-form content creation. xAI released the upgrade to Grok Imagine in early 2026. The company, founded by Elon Musk, announced the feature through posts on the X platform. This follows previous iterations where videos were capped at shorter durations, typically 5 seconds. Grok Imagine allows users to generate videos from text prompts, building on its image creation capabilities. The update addresses constraints in video length that limited expressive potential. Users can now input descriptions to create clips, such as animations or scenes, without needing initial images. This positions the tool within the broader landscape of AI-driven multimodal generation, where text-to-video systems are increasingly common. The core adjustment doubles the maximum video duration from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. Accompanying this are upgrades to video quality, including more stable visuals, richer details, and improved clarity. Audio has also been enhanced for better output, making the generated content more immersive. These changes were described as "big improvements across the board" in the announcement. No specific benchmarks or quantitative metrics for the quality improvements were detailed in the release statements. The feature rollout appears gradual, with some users accessing it via the Grok app or web interface. xAI has not introduced user controls for exact timing, though such options are mentioned as future possibilities. This development highlights xAI's emphasis on iterative enhancements in generative AI tools. By extending duration while refining output fidelity, it reflects engineering priorities aimed at balancing computational efficiency with user needs. The focus on audio and visual stability suggests attention to common pitfalls in early text-to-video models, such as inconsistencies or artifacts. The sources do not specify the underlying model architecture changes or training data adjustments enabling this upgrade. Performance in real-world scenarios, like handling complex prompts or maintaining consistency across clips, remains unquantified in the announcements. Interpretations of broader implications for AI video generation would require additional evidence beyond what's provided.
