Associate professor. Senior R&D Engineer. Ternary and mixed-radix chip design and computer engineering at USN. Personal account, opinions expressed are my own.
Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

Tenk deg å lage setningar med berre to bokstavar. Forskar Steven Bos meiner å bevise at tida er inne for at datamaskiner kan og bør gå over til det trinære alfabetet, altså bort frå berre 1 og 0 usn.no/forskning/doktorgrads…@NTB_PRM
USB 4.2 standard uses ternary signals (PAM-3). Non-binary signalling is an ongoing and radical shift. PCI Express 6.0 uses quaternary signals (PAM-4). Changing
radix from binary to ternary gives ~60% bandwidth improvements.

Recently penta-level cell (5-bits/cell) SSD's were announced. At this point the interface is becoming a hassle as logic remains for the time being, binary.

With emerging devices like memristors, multi-threshold CNTFET and others technologies shown on the industry roadmap things look wild for MVL despite not being named. It is a slow return to analog again, but now using the best parts of the digital world.

Recreated #Tetris in #AugmentedReality during my commute on the train to and from work yesterday using #chatgpt4
Total development time: 1 hour ⏱️ Here's the breakdown:
54 min: Game Logic (this was a back and forth dialogue in which gpt4 planned out the best approach to take and wrote 100% of the game logic)
6 min: Game Aesthetics (generated a neon grid texture from midjourney and applied to an <a-plane> in the scene)
🎉 GPT-4 is out!!
- 📈 it is incredible
- 👀 it is multimodal (can see)
- 😮 it is on trend w.r.t. scaling laws
- 🔥 it is deployed on ChatGPT Plus: chat.openai.com
- 📺 watch the developer demo livestream at 1pm: youtube.com/live/outcGtbnMuQ…
What happens when we train the largest vision-language model and add in robot experiences?
The result is PaLM-E 🌴🤖, a 562-billion parameter, general-purpose, embodied visual-language generalist - across robotics, vision, and language.
