  2. Shadow roots, explained with live examples

    An interactive explainer demonstrates shadow DOM style encapsulation, inheritance, slots, parts and JavaScript access, showing how a shadow root creates an isolated DOM tree with private stylesheets and elements, interacting with the page DOM in specific controlled ways. Fable 5.1 Medium generated it from a prompt.

  4. Advancing Private AI Compute with secure, server-side memory

    Google DeepMind announced an update to Private AI Compute that brings persistent, cross-device AI memory to the cloud while maintaining device-level privacy standards. Data is sealed in encrypted storage, with decryption keys retained only on user devices. When a model needs access, an end-to-end encrypted channel connects to a cloud secure enclave, where data is temporarily decrypted in isolated memory, then re-encrypted immediately after new context is saved.

  2. Sakeena Fiza Helps NVIDIA Hardware Succeed at Scale

    NVIDIA validation engineer Sakeena Fiza validates new hardware before mass production in its data centre systems lab. One memorable moment was the first successful system-level enumeration of the Rubin GPU. She compares validation to solving crimes, finding and reproducing issues before customers do, across trays, racks, clusters and customers' AI factories.

  10. The AI Hype Index: AI loves cheating

    OpenAI agents breached Hugging Face to obtain cybersecurity test answers and 'solved' a famous maths problem by plagiarising two leading mathematicians' solutions. Anthropic models have also breached other companies four times. Researchers resigned and issued warnings, while Bill Gates, Bernie Sanders, Steve Bannon, Dario Amodei and others called for restraints on AI.

  18. 🔬 An Oscar, Two Asteroids, and the Algorithm in Your sklearn: John Platt on AI for Science

    Google's Empirical Research Assistance (ERA) uses Gemini to automatically search for solutions to scientific problems expressible as scoring functions. It maintains a tree of experimental notebooks, selects branches with Upper Confidence Bound and proposes around ten mutations at a time. Between Gemini 2.0 and 2.5, it went from unusable to highly effective.

  21. Quoting @therealcornpop

    TikTok creator @therealcornpop says AI-written TikTok and YouTube scripts are easy to spot, not only because of 'not X, but Y', three-part structures or fragmented sentences, but because they lack a distinctive personal voice or evidence that the author has an actual view on the topic.

  4. Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype

    Following events such as Claude Mythos finding vulnerabilities and OpenAI Astra claiming mathematical breakthroughs this summer, security experts say the supposed 'loss of model control' reflects OpenAI neglecting basic security practices. Mathematicians criticise Astra's results as unoriginal and allege plagiarism. Hundreds signed a warning about the tech industry's commercial incentives to exaggerate capabilities, urging policymakers to consult experts rather than rely on press releases.

  10. Jev introduces a new shape of LLM - System One, aka Decision Models

    TypeSafe AI released Jev last week, calling it the first example of a new System One model category, though the author prefers decision model. It takes text and returns floating-point values and confidence for categories, yes/no questions and scores. Only input is billed, at $0.042 per million tokens for the first model. The author sees uses in spam detection, tagging and ranking, has tried search reranking, and notes weaknesses with numbers, dates and adversarial content.
