Podcasts about circuits

Beloved, Scientifically, we only access about 1% of the light spectrum and frequency bands. We call this "real," but it is only a fraction of what exists.While this may be FAR LEFT FIELD as you read this - it would be irresponsible of me NOT to share - in the month's ahead.Aliens, UFO's and what's ahead.RIGHT NOW WE ARE WITNESSING….Government secrecy is crumbling as its costs exceed the risks of transparency.Instead of chaos or Hollywood-style invasions, world leaders, scientists, and the media will gradually normalize extraterrestrial presence.This shift is less about seeing ships in the sky and more about a fundamental identity change—moving from cosmic isolation to realizing we've never been truly alone.The Big PictureWhat's Actually Happening Something remarkable is occurring at the cellular level of every human being on Earth right now. While spiritual communities have long discussed “DNA activation” and “ascension,” there's actually a fascinating interplay between cosmic physics and human biology driving these changes.The Science Behind the construct of the “Veil Thinning”Our sun creates something called a heliosphere - essentially a protective bubble that extends beyond our solar system. This barrier has historically filtered out much of the cosmic radiation and light particles coming from the rest of the galaxy.Fear is the primary anchor that keeps consciousness locked in the body. When the body starts to "shut down" during deep meditation or an exit, the ego panics. Letting go of the fear of other dimensions or of dying - is actually the key to truly living and exploring the beyond.Here's what's changing:* The sun itself is transforming - becoming whiter and brighter than previous decades* The heliosphere is becoming more permeable, allowing more interstellar particles through* Earth's gravitational field is also shifting, permitting more of these “light codes” to reach us* These aren't mystical concepts - they're measurable electromagnetic frequenciesWhat This Means at the Cellular LevelAccording to channeled information - the energies are interacting with our biology in specific ways:The Telomere Connection: The telomeres (protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes) are allowing electromagnetic frequencies to pass through the DNA coils. This is triggering genetic expressions that have been dormant - essentially “remembering” capabilities that were switched off long ago.Mitochondrial Changes: The energy-producing structures in our cells are adapting. The suggestion is that eventually, human cells will be able to hold light directly, potentially reducing our dependence on food for energy.Why We Feel So Tired: The fatigue many people experience isn't random. When these cosmic frequencies interact with our cellular structures, it creates a kind of beneficial stress - similar to how a sauna creates stress proteins that ultimately strengthen the body. Our systems are working overtime to integrate these new frequencies.Ascension Symptoms - not just for EmpathsExplained…..Many people report experiencing:* Chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns* Heart palpitations* Ringing in the ears* Skin issues and sensitivities* Watery eyes* Feeling mentally “scattered” or anxiousYour body is literally acting as a conduit - pulling cosmic energy down through your personal energy field, processing it through your cells, and anchoring it into Earth's crystalline grid system. Where you have emotional, mental, or energetic blockages, this energy has to push through, creating discomfort.Why some people feel it more than others: It depends on where you are in relation to what's called “the singularity” - a convergence point of timelines:* Those “ahead” of it feel energized and clear* Those “in the middle” experience neutral observation* Those “behind” it feel heavy, sluggish, and lost* Earth is a “Free Will Planet”The Bigger Context? You Chose It. Earth holds a unique position in our galaxy as a free will zone. This means:* We've been largely left alone to develop and make our own choices* That changed with nuclear weapons - when the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the effects rippled through quantum fields across the universe, affecting beings everywhere* This triggered intervention - not control, but assistance from various cosmic intelligences who recognized that “the children found the matches”The Living Library ConceptThrough my experience as a intuitive and Akashic Reader, just as the astral has a library of resonance - the Earth is also a “living library” - for every animal species on this planet, there exists an extraterrestrial race that resembles it. This planet was seeded with incredible biodiversity as a kind of cosmic repository.The Hybridization ProgramsThere are ongoing programs creating human-extraterrestrial hybrid children. Some live on ships, others on Earth. The purpose isn't sinister - it's about creating beings who can be a genetic and frequency match for where Earth is heading, since not all current humans will be able to adapt to the higher frequencies.The Timeline We're InWe're currently about 75-78% through an 18-year window (2012-2030) that represents the most significant consciousness expansion in human history.Key markers “suggested”* 1987 (Harmonic Convergence): The starting gun for this shift* 2012: Earth/Gaia herself ascended; karmic laws that had been held in the grids were released* 2025: A year of pushing through density and difficulty - necessary preparation* 2026: A “one year” in numerology - about renewal, not repair; what we create this year sets the cycle for where we're heading through 2030* 2030: The completion of this particular ascension windowThe 3D/5D SplitRather than everyone moving to “5D” as a destination, what's actually happening is more nuanced:* Multiple dimensions exist simultaneously (it's called “multi-dimensional” for a reason)* We fluctuate through various density perspectives constantly* The 3D and 5D “timelines” are being pulled apart - people will increasingly experience very different realities based on their frequencyThe Human Hybridization HistoryOur DNA carries contributions from multiple cosmic sources:The Anunnaki (approximately 350,000 years ago): The primary encoders who created a significant jump in human evolution. They contributed what's called “Enki's gift” - dormant potential in our DNA that's now reactivating. RH negative blood is Anunnaki blood, which explains why RH negative women sometimes have difficulty conceiving - that blood carries programming that resists mixing with the standard human genome.The Pleiadian's contributed quantum aspects to our chromosomes.It's why we process in 12's and 24's. This isn't arbitrary - it's genetic encoding from these cosmic ancestors that determines how we can perceive dimensional realities. Currently, we can only process up to 12 dimensions; expanding beyond that will take approximately 3,000 more years of evolution.Practical Wisdom for Navigating This TimeHOW IT EFFECTS OUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND MENTAL HEALTHWhen powerful energy waves hit Earth, many people experience anxiety spikes. Here's why:The brain's synapses can't always handle the acceleration of these frequencies. When the mind can't process what's happening, it spirals into fear responses - “I'm being attacked,” “something terrible is happening.” This creates anxiety that feels sourceless.The solution?Self compassion and for the love of God, get off social media. Ground yourself. Stay in your heart rather than your head. The heart processes feeling and compassion; the mind processes logic and fear. During intense energy periods, the heart is your anchor.The Self-Love ParadoxTrue self-love isn't “love and light” without boundaries. That's actually toxic because it:* Doesn't create self-worth* Doesn't allow you to know yourself* Avoids the necessary work of integrationReal self-love means:* Discovering the parts of yourself you've rejected* Learning to love what you've pushed into shadow* Integrating these aspects* Setting firm, compassionate boundaries with othersThe Awakening TruthAwakening isn't awakening to love and light - it's awakening to your trauma. You cannot skip straight to being an “ascended being” without walking through all your density. There are no shortcuts. You have to run the marathon.Key Principles for This Time* Go within, not without - All answers exist inside you. External teachers and resources are helpful, but they're not necessary if you can access your own inner knowing.* Feel, don't think - You don't think energy; you feel it. The ego wants timelines and logic; source wants to guide you through feeling and authenticity.* Surrender, don't trust - Trust is conditional (”I'll do my part if you do yours”). Surrender is unconditional allowing.* Internalize, don't externalize - Stop projecting onto external mirrors. Learn from what life shows you by looking inward.* Stay in compassionate detachment - Observe without judgment. Detach without disconnecting.* Release victimhood - The belief that “rogue aliens did this to us” or “we have no free will” is the ego avoiding responsibility. Starseeds and lightworkers are just as powerful as any cosmic being - they simply don't believe it yet.The Deeper MeaningThe purpose of this entire journey? To allow source - your higher self, your soul - to work through you in a state of non-resistance, creating healing and synchronicity for yourself and everything around you.We're not just passive recipients of cosmic change. We're active participants in ascending a planet - something that's never been done quite this way before.The “great experiment” is seeing if a free-will planet can raise its consciousness collectively, and we're well ahead of schedule.The work isn't easy. It requires releasing everything built from fear, trauma, and conditioning. It means becoming unrecognizable to those who knew the old version of you. It often means losing relationships that can't match your new frequency.But it's also the most profound opportunity any soul could choose - to be here, now, participating in this transformation.Stay in your hearts. Where your heart is, where your feeling is, where your compassion is - that's where we save each other. I truly believe every single soul here without question becomes free.Love, KassandraPS: If this lit up your heart and mind to go deeper into infinite love, then I'd love for you to experience the LIGHT BETWEEN ORACLE.

TLDR: Recently, Gao et al trained transformers with sparse weights, and introduced a pruning algorithm to extract circuits that explain performance on narrow tasks. I replicate their main results and present evidence suggesting that these circuits are unfaithful to the model's “true computations”. This work was done as part of the Anthropic Fellows Program under the mentorship of Nick Turner and Jeff Wu. Introduction Recently, Gao et al (2025) proposed an exciting approach to training models that are interpretable by design. They train transformers where only a small fraction of their weights are nonzero, and find that pruning these sparse models on narrow tasks yields interpretable circuits. Their key claim is that these weight-sparse models are more interpretable than ordinary dense ones, with smaller task-specific circuits. Below, I reproduce the primary evidence for these claims: training weight-sparse models does tend to produce smaller circuits at a given task loss than dense models, and the circuits also look interpretable. However, there are reasons to worry that these results don't imply that we're capturing the model's full computation. For example, previous work [1, 2] found that similar masking techniques can achieve good performance on vision tasks even when applied to a [...] ---Outline:(00:36) Introduction(03:03) Tasks(03:16) Task 1: Pronoun Matching(03:47) Task 2: Simplified IOI(04:28) Task 3: Question Marks(05:10) Results(05:20) Producing Sparse Interpretable Circuits(05:25) Zero ablation yields smaller circuits than mean ablation(06:01) Weight-sparse models usually have smaller circuits(06:37) Weight-sparse circuits look interpretable(09:06) Scrutinizing Circuit Faithfulness(09:11) Pruning achieves low task loss on a nonsense task(10:24) Important attention patterns can be absent in the pruned model(11:26) Nodes can play different roles in the pruned model(14:15) Pruned circuits may not generalize like the base model(16:16) Conclusion(18:09) Appendix A: Training and Pruning Details(20:17) Appendix B: Walkthrough of pronouns and questions circuits(22:48) Appendix C: The Role of Layernorm The original text contained 6 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: February 9th, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/sHpZZnRDLg7ccX9aF/weight-sparse-circuits-may-be-interpretable-yet-unfaithful --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

Dr. Howard Federoff, Scientific Co-Founder, Chief Medical Officer, and Executive Vice President of Corporate Medicine and Science at Kenai Therapeutics, is developing a cell therapy for Parkinson's disease that involves transplanting IPSCs into the brain to replace lost dopamine neurons.  The goal is not to cure the underlying cause of the disease, but to restore motor function and reverse the disease's progression. Initial clinical focus was on patients with moderate to moderate-severe idiopathic Parkinson's, showing efficacy and safety, leading to expanding the study to include earlier-stage and familial forms of the disease. Howard explains, "Kenai was formed about three and a half years ago, and the intention is to develop a cellular product, which means that what is manufactured will be eligible in the right patient groups who have a diagnosis of Parkinson's to be placed into the brain. And consequent to its placement, the cells will then form new circuits, dopamine circuits that are lost owing to the disease diagnosis that will have occurred years earlier." "The induced pluripotent stem cell approach is one we favor for several reasons. The nature of what then becomes the IPSC, as we like to call it, starts with a normal human volunteer whose medical history is very detailed and does not contain any familial personal history of neurodegeneration. That cell then undergoes a process called reprogramming. And in our case, it's done with a slightly different approach than many others. And the reprogramming effectively creates a cell that is pluripotent, meaning it can become any cell of the body.

Hello Interactors,It's winter. So, as the sun tilts toward the sun (up north) my writing tilts toward the brain. It's when I put on my behavioral geography glasses and try to see the world as a set of loops between bodies and places, perception and movement, constraint and choice. It's hard to do that right now without running into AI. And one thing that keeps nagging at me is how AI is usually described as this super-brain perched in the cloud, or in a machine nearby, thinking on our behalf.That framing inherits an old habit of mind. Since Descartes, we've been tempted by the idea that the “real” mind sits apart from the messy body, steering it from some inner control room. Computer metaphors reinforced the same split by calling the CPU the “brain” of the machine. And now we're extending the metaphor again with AI as the brain of the internet, hovering overhead, crunching data, issuing guidance. An intelligence box directing action at a distance is a tidy picture but it risks making us miss what's actually doing the work. Let's dig into how the brain leverages the loops of people, places, and interfaces we all move through to extend it's richness and reach.GRADIENTS GUIDE WHILE BODIES BALANCEHave you ever hiked or skied in snow or fog and seen the middle distance just in front of you disappear? It takes the world you thought you knew, like ridge lines, tree lines, and the comforting predictable geometry of “just ahead” and reduces it to panic stricken near-field fragments. I've sensed once familiar ski runs become suddenly unfamiliar not because it changed, but because it was no longer accessible to my brain.In these moments, we're all forced to reckon, recalibrate, and (usually) slow down as our senses sharpen. We take note of the slope under our feet and the way the ground shifts. We listen for clues our eyes can't see and notice which direction the wind is blowing, how the light is changing, and how our own heartbeat and breath changes with each calculated risk. We know where we are, but the picture is fuzzy. Our memory only gets us so far. Everything around us becomes this multi-faceted relationship between our body making sense of it all while our brain updates its status moment by moment. The last thing a brain wants is to have its co-dependent limbs fail and risk falling.That experience demonstrates how the world is coupled with us. In world-involving coupling a living system survives through ongoing coordination with the affordances and constraints of its surroundings. In behavioral geography this frames spatial behavior as dynamic, reciprocal coordination between individuals and their environments, rather than just isolated internal cognition.Places actively shape decisions through the physics of the world and all its constraints. Actions, in turn, then reshape those surroundings in ongoing loops. This approach to cognition shifts focus from isolated mental maps to lived, constitutive engagements. It treats the world as a partner in our own competence.Before brains, gradients existed. Living systems navigated heat, cold, salt, sugar, thirst, dark, and light to persist. The first cognitive problems were biophysical. Surviving in a world that constantly disrupted viability relied on basic mechanisms like membrane flows, chemical reactions, and feedback. These primordial loops coupled an organism to a given environment directly. There were not yet any neural intermediaries. These were protozoa drifting toward nutrients or recoiling from toxins. It is in this raw attunement that world-involving coupling emerges.In 1932, physiologist Walter Cannon coined the term “homeostasis” to describe the body's active pursuit of stability amidst environmental pressures. Living systems, whether single-celled or more complex, maintain survival variables within narrow bands. Cells detect changes in these variables, which affect molecular states. Temperature, acidity, pressure, osmosis, and metabolic concentrations all influence reaction rates. Feedback loops alter cell-environment interactions through heat transfer, ion flux, water movement, and gas exchange, ultimately restoring the system to a viable band. Organisms are not passive vessels but actively engage with these detection loops, triggering adjustments like a wilting plant drawing water. Sensing and action are fused operations for persistence.About 600 million years ago, cells in an ancient sea sensed electrical fields or chemical plumes on microbial mats. These pioneering cells formed diffuse nerve nets, evolving into jellyfish and anemones. Simple meshes firing to contract thin membranes in bell-shaped forms, they lacked a brain but coordinated propulsive pulses to keep the organism in bounds or sting prey. Within 10s of millions of years, bilateral animals evolved. Flatworms like planaria emerged with nerve cords laddered along their undersides, thickening toward their tips. These proto-brains sped signal spread across their elongated forms.As vertebrates appear, control becomes more layered. Circuits in the brainstem evolve to coordinate breathing, heart rate, posture, and basic orienting reflexes. The cerebellum emerges to sharpen timing and coordination. Competing actions, drives, and habits become sorted with the help of the basal ganglia. With mammals — and especially primates — the cortex expands. Perception and action become more flexible across situational contexts and with it comes longer-horizon learning, social inference, and planning.But at every milestone, bodies are still constrained and governed by gradients and fields related to gravity, friction, heat, oxygen, hydration, predators, prey, and terrain. The cortex sits on top of these older loops, stretching them in time and recombining them in new ways. Even the most “abstract” human cognition still rides on the same foundation of reflexes and sensorimotor sampling. This is what keeps an organism in operable biochemical ranges while it propels itself through an environment that perpetually pushes and pulls.BOXED BRAINS BEGET BIG BELIEFSThe field of physiology deepened this bio-chemical inquiry through the early 20th century. Physiologist and neurologist Ivan Pavlov revealed how sensory cues could chain to responses through neural rerouting creating conditioned ‘Pavlovian' reflexes. Neurophysiologist Charles Sherrington coined the term “synapse” as he dissected and described them as switches in these loops coupled to the world. Through this inquiry, the autonomic nervous system emerged as a kind of homeostatic controller. Sympathetic surges in the system were found to create fight or flight reactions as our parasympathetic system kicks in to dial us back. This can be seen as a more complex version of the same push-pull of Cannon's original homeostasis.By the mid-20th century, mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener, working closely with physiologists and engineers, compared the nervous system to a servomechanism — a self-correcting governor found in engines. He coined the term cybernetics in his 1948 book Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine where he treated animals and machines as systems that regulate themselves through feedback. He and his collaborators argued this was a form of “purposeful behavior” or goal-directed action — a kind of negative feedback loop that reduces the difference between a current state and a target state. These ideas hardened in engineering fields during wartime as they were used in weapon systems for prediction and control of trajectories by compensating for delay and uncertainty. Cybernetics helped make the physiological regulation of Cannon's biological homeostasis structurally analogous to engineering.This mechanical metaphor sparked a long-standing debate, dating back to Descartes' 17th-century mind-body split. Dualism posited an immaterial mind as a rule-following pilot controlling mechanical flesh. Alan Turing's 1936 paper had already formalized this possibility, presenting a “machine” capable of computing any algorithm. Two decades later, the Dartmouth summer workshop coined “artificial intelligence” and encouraged the idea of engineering minds as programs. Around the same time, Herbert Simon and Allen Newell built early “logic theorist” programs that proved theorems, making intelligence seem like a boxed process involving symbols and reasoning. That lineage hasn't disappeared. This is largely the default engineering posture of AI. Even when the machinery shifts from hand-coded rules to learned statistical patterns, we still talk as if intelligence lives inside a system. AI models claim to “form representations,” “build a world model,” “store knowledge,” “plan,” and “reason.” Contemporary training methods reward this language because they really do produce rich internal states that can be probed, steered, and reused across tasks.Less discussed is the metaphysical shift from “the system has internal structure supporting performance” to “the system contains an inner arena where meaning emerges and is inspected before action.” Daniel Dennett, a philosopher who dismantled this intuition in theories of mind and consciousness, called this picture the “Cartesian theater.” He noticed that scientific explanations often subtly reintroduce the central place where “it all comes together” for an internal witness. Dennett believes this inner stage is a comforting fiction derived from Descartes' split between observer and world. Brain imaging reveals coordinated network activity, but not a literal inner ‘screen' presenting a unified world-model. Many neuroscientists describe cognition as emerging from distributed, parallel, and recurrent processes, sometimes with large-scale integration. Dennett's point is not that internal processing is unreal, but that our language tempts us toward a surreal Cartesian picture in a central place we can't empirically reveal.RESAMPLE, RESTABILIZE, AND RESHAPENeuroscience reveals that perception differs from a camera feeding a private theater. Our eyes rapidly sample information based on our actions, and the brain stabilizes perception during movement. Much visual processing is organized in the service of action, with partially distinct but interacting pathways supporting perceptual report and real-time visuomotor control. This suggests that the brain resembles a system for maintaining a relationship with the world through continuous sampling, correction, and skilled engagement, rather than a world-reconstruction engine.James J. Gibson, the founder of ecological psychology, arrived at a similar conclusion earlier from behavioral and perceptual evidence. He argues that the world provides lawful patterns, regularities constrained by physics and geometry, that guide behavior because they remain stable across changing viewpoints. These patterns are not complete. Organisms make them available by moving, shifting gaze, turning the head, walking, or touching. Perception is an active process of sampling the world.If perception is about staying attuned to lawful structures in the environment, the evolutionary consequence is organisms don't just read the world, they also write it. As organisms became more complex and mobile, they gained the power to reshape the very patterns they depend on. They start cutting paths (pathways worn into grass, game trails beaten into forests), building shelters (bird nests, termite mounds, human dwellings), altering flows of water and heat (beaver dams, termite mounds), and laying chemical trails (ants depositing pheromones).Evolutionary biologists call this niche construction. Organisms modify their environments, which then feed back into selection pressures and development, creating a dynamic cycle where the environment becomes a product of life and a force that shapes it further. As the world guides behavior, behavior reshapes the world, and the remade world trains bodies and brains into new skills and expectations. Over time, these modifications become external organs of coordination, storing information, reducing uncertainty, and channeling action.A worn trail is navigational memory made durable, a nest or mound is a climate-control device that stabilizes temperature and airflow, and a pheromone path is a distributed signal that recruits other ants into collective action and direction. Complexity scientist David Krakauer calls this broader idea of “mind outsourced into engineered matter” exbodiment — where artifacts actively constrain and channel cogntion. In this view, cognitive work is no longer confined to nervous tissue but accomplished through bodies working with worlds they've built.Humans take this to an extreme. Clothing and shelter externalize thermoregulation, fire externalizes digestion and protection, tools externalize force and precision, drugs alter chemistry, writing and calendars externalize memory and timing, and institutions externalize norms and coordination. Much of what we call “human intelligence” is not only in our brains but also distributed across artifacts and practices that have accumulated over generations.Cognitive anthropologist Edwin Hutchins made the point vivid by studying navigation. On a ship, “knowing where you are” is not privately derived nor sealed in a captain's skull. It is a collective achievement through a system of charts, maps, instruments, procedures, language, coordinated roles — an entire ecology of cognition comprised of tools and social organization. Here geography and cognition merge. Orientation is not just mental but enacted in relation to representations that are anchored and socially maintained in our material reality.When I was at Microsoft, I followed the work of sociologist Lucy Suchman who studied human-machine interaction. She arrived at a similar conclusion criticizing the fantasy that action is simply “execution of an internal plan.” Real action, she argues, is situated. It's responsive to unfolding circumstances — often improvisational — and is shaped by context in ways that cannot be fully specified in advance. In other words, if we look for intelligence as a prewritten script inside the head, we will miss how intelligence is often produced when enacted in a world that refuses to hold still.Large language models, at first glance, seem to embody the “internal plan” fantasy. They're sealed systems containing competence in weights and parameters, ready for queries. However, they're closer to Suchman's warning. Trained on vast archives of human writing, LLMs learn statistical regularities in vast continuations of text. When used, they produce a new continuation conditioned on prompts and context. Prompts aren't mere inputs. They're situated actions in human-computer interactions. They set frames, narrow affordances, cue roles, establish constraints, and often iterate in a back-and-forth that resembles Suchman's improvisation with a powerful partner who is also techy and textual.Philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers, in their extended mind thesis, claim under certain conditions, external tools can become constitutive parts of cognition when they are reliably integrated into the organism's routines. As we've learned, the boundary of cognition is not always the boundary of skin or skull, it's the boundary of a stable loop.When the fog rolls in and visibility gets low, the boundary of this loop becomes quickly apparent. “The mind's eye” is not that helpful…practically or metaphorically. If anything, the brain wants nothing more than for the body to widen contact with the world. It slows us down, sharpens listening, and increases tactile attention. It calculates different gradient thresholds to measure risk…it might even glance at an external sensing device that is prompting some intervention or improvisation! We are not watching a movie in our head to get through the fog. We are trying to stay oriented in a world that refuses to be fully represented.This is the reframing of intelligence — artificial and otherwise — I wish for. I'd like to see more talk of intelligence being less a coveted individualistic thing hidden inside us and more an achievement of coordinated biophysical, social, infrastructural loops across time. When we mistake a metaphor (“there's a theater in there”) for an ontology (“that's where cognition lives”), we get misled about minds and we get misled about AI. The alternative is not anti-technology. It's conceptual hygiene. Let's start asking where cognition actually happens, what it is made of, and how places — natural and built — participate in making it possible. You know, Interplace — the interaction of people and place. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit interplace.io

In this breaking news episode from January 9, 2026, the Qubit Value podcast analyzes the blockbuster $550 million acquisition of Quantum Circuits Inc. (QCI) by D-Wave, a move that signals the end of the "playground era" for quantum computing. The hosts dissect D-Wave's strategic pivot from being solely an annealing specialist to a dual-platform powerhouse, now integrating QCI's "dual-rail" superconducting qubits which feature built-in error detection. This acquisition brings legendary Yale physicist Dr. Rob Schoelkopf into the fold and shifts D-Wave's engineering philosophy from "scale first" to "quality first." The discussion outlines an aggressive roadmap: a 17-qubit cloud system in 2026, aiming for a "magic number" of 181 logical qubits by 2028—a threshold where they could theoretically beat giants like IBM and Google to true fault tolerance. Ultimately, the episode frames this merger not just as a business deal, but as a critical consolidation of North American quantum infrastructure, blending D-Wave's manufacturing scale with QCI's gate-model precision to accelerate the arrival of the industrial quantum age. Want to hear more?

A digital world in relentless movement—from artificial intelligence to ubiquitous computing—has been captured and reinvented as a monoculture by Silicon Valley "big tech" and venture capital firms. Yet very little is discussed in the public sphere about existing alternatives. Based on long-term field research across San Francisco, Tokyo, and Shenzhen, Common Circuits: Hacking Alternative Technological Futures (Stanford UP, 2025) explores a transnational network of hacker spaces that stand as potent, but often invisible, alternatives to the dominant technology industry. In what ways have hackers challenged corporate projects of digital development? How do hacker collectives prefigure more just technological futures through community projects? Luis Felipe R. Murillo responds to these urgent questions with an analysis of the hard challenges of collaborative, autonomous community-making through technical objects conceived by hackers as convivial, shared technologies. Through rich explorations of hacker space histories and biographical sketches of hackers who participate in them, Murillo describes the social and technical conditions that allowed for the creation of community projects such as anonymity and privacy networks to counter mass surveillance; community-made monitoring devices to measure radioactive contamination; and small-scale open hardware fabrication for the purposes of technological autonomy. Murillo shows how hacker collectives point us toward brighter technological futures—a renewal of the "digital commons"—where computing projects are constantly being repurposed for the common good.

today's program, the penultimate episode of 2025, was meant to be a full review and unboxing of the latest reissue of NME's 1986 classic (?) ‘Unholy Death' - a 7 LP + blu ray + coffee table book collection. Sadly, I misplaced my half dozen or so box cutters (these are like socks for me except they're much sharper and cause more damage when you find them inside pockets) and I cannot get the fucking box open. As such, I am only able to speculate as to the quality of the unreleased demos, the quality of the blu-rays and the sheer lavishness of the coffee table book. But when you have imaginations like yours and mine (or at least mine), pricey material goods are no match for the power of the human brain. That being said, I could really use a 7th box cutter.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, Sebastian talks with Hrant Gharibyan, CEO and co‑founder of BlueQubit, about “peaked circuits” and the challenge of verifying quantum advantage. They unpack Scott Aaronson and Yushuai Zhang's original peaked‑circuit proposal, BlueQubit's scalable implementation on real hardware, and a new public challenge that invites the community to attack their construction using the best classical algorithms available. Along the way, they explore how this line of work connects to cryptography, hardness assumptions, and the near‑term role of quantum devices as powerful scientific instruments.Topics CoveredWhy verifying quantum advantage is hard The core problem: if a quantum device claims to solve a task that is classi-cally intractable, how can anyone check that it did the right thing? Random circuit sampling (as in Google's 2019 “supremacy” experiment and follow‑on work from Google and Quantinuum) is believed to be classically hard to simulate, but the verification metrics (like cross‑entropy benchmarking) are themselves classically intractable at scale.What are peaked circuits? Aaronson and Zhang's idea: construct circuits that look like random circuits in every respect, but whose output distribution secretly has one special bit string with an anomalously high probability (the “peak”). The designer knows the secret bit string, so a quantum device can be verified by checking that measurement statistics visibly reveal the peak in a modest number of shots, while finding that same peak classically should be as hard as simulating a random circuit.BlueQubit's scalable construction and hardware demo BlueQubit extended the original 24‑qubit, simulator‑based peaked‑circuit construction to much larger sizes using new classical protocols. Hrant explains their protocol for building peaked circuits on Quantinuum's H2 processor with around 56 qubits, thousands of gates, and effectively all‑to‑all connectivity, while still hiding a single secret bit string that appears as a clear peak when run on the device.Obfuscation tricks and “quantum steganography” The team uses multiple obfuscation layers (including “swap” and “sweeping” tricks) to transform simple peaked circuits into ones that are statistically indistinguishable from generic random circuits, yet still preserve the hidden peak.The BlueQubit Quantum Advantage Challenge To stress‑test their hardness assumptions, BlueQubit has published concrete circuits and launched a public bounty (currently a quarter of a bitcoin) for anyone who can recover the secret bit string classically. The aim is to catalyze work on better classical simulation and de‑quantization techniques; either someone closes the gap (forcing the protocol to evolve) or the standing bounty helps establish public trust that the task really is classically infeasible.Potential cryptographic angles Although the main focus is verification of quantum advantage, Hrant outlines how the construction has a cryptographic flavor: a secret bit string effectively acts as a key, and only a sufficiently powerful quantum device can efficiently “decrypt” it by revealing the peak. Variants of the protocol could, in principle, yield schemes that are classically secure but only decryptable by quantum hardware, and even quantum‑plus‑key secure, though this remains speculative and secondary to the verification use case. From verification protocol to startup roadmap Hrant positions BlueQubit as an algorithm and capability company: deeply hardware‑aware, but focused on building and analyzing advantage‑style algorithms tailored to specific devices. The peaked‑circuit work is one pillar in a broader effort that includes near‑term scientific applications in condensed‑matter physics and materials (e.g., Fermi–Hubbard models and out‑of‑time‑ordered correlators) where quantum devices can already probe regimes beyond leading classical methods.Scientific advantage today, commercial advantage tomorrow Sebastian and Hrant emphasize that the first durable quantum advantages are likely to appear in scientific computing—acting as exotic lab instruments for physicists, chemists, and materials scientists—well before mass‑market “killer apps” arrive. Once robust, verifiable scientific advantage is established, scaling to larger models and more complex systems becomes a question of engineering, with clear lines of sight to industrial impact in sectors like pharmaceuticals, advanced materials, and manufacturing.The challenge: https://app.bluequbit.io/hackathons/

We're told that AI progress is slowing down, that pre-training has hit a wall, that scaling laws are running out of road. Yet we're releasing this episode in the middle of a wild couple of weeks that saw GPT-5.1, GPT-5.1 Codex Max, fresh reasoning modes and long-running agents ship from OpenAI — on top of a flood of new frontier models elsewhere. To make sense of what's actually happening at the edge of the field, I sat down with someone who has literally helped define both of the major AI paradigms of our time.Łukasz Kaiser is one of the co-authors of “Attention Is All You Need,” the paper that introduced the Transformer architecture behind modern LLMs, and is now a leading research scientist at OpenAI working on reasoning models like those behind GPT-5.1. In this conversation, he explains why AI progress still looks like a smooth exponential curve from inside the labs, why pre-training is very much alive even as reinforcement-learning-based reasoning models take over the spotlight, how chain-of-thought actually works under the hood, and what it really means to “train the thinking process” with RL on verifiable domains like math, code and science. We talk about the messy reality of low-hanging fruit in engineering and data, the economics of GPUs and distillation, interpretability work on circuits and sparsity, and why the best frontier models can still be stumped by a logic puzzle from his five-year-old's math book.We also go deep into Łukasz's personal journey — from logic and games in Poland and France, to Ray Kurzweil's team, Google Brain and the inside story of the Transformer, to joining OpenAI and helping drive the shift from chatbots to genuine reasoning engines. Along the way we cover GPT-4 → GPT-5 → GPT-5.1, post-training and tone, GPT-5.1 Codex Max and long-running coding agents with compaction, alternative architectures beyond Transformers, whether foundation models will “eat” most agents and applications, what the translation industry can teach us about trust and human-in-the-loop, and why he thinks generalization, multimodal reasoning and robots in the home are where some of the most interesting challenges still lie.OpenAIWebsite - https://openai.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/OpenAIŁukasz KaiserLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukaszkaiser/X/Twitter - https://x.com/lukaszkaiserFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) – Cold open and intro(01:29) – “AI slowdown” vs a wild week of new frontier models(08:03) – Low-hanging fruit: infra, RL training and better data(11:39) – What is a reasoning model, in plain language?(17:02) – Chain-of-thought and training the thinking process with RL(21:39) – Łukasz's path: from logic and France to Google and Kurzweil(24:20) – Inside the Transformer story and what “attention” really means(28:42) – From Google Brain to OpenAI: culture, scale and GPUs(32:49) – What's next for pre-training, GPUs and distillation(37:29) – Can we still understand these models?

Hencely v. Fluor Corp. | 11/03/25 | Docket #: 24-924 24-924 HENCELY V. FLUOR CORP. DECISION BELOW: 120 F.4th 412 CERT. GRANTED 6/2/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: Former U.S. Army Specialist Winston T. Hencely was critically and permanently injured by a suicide bomber inside Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The bomber, Ahmad Nayeb, worked on base for a government contractor. An Army investigation found that the attack's primary contributing factor was the contractor's actions in breach of its Army contract and in violation of the military's instructions to supervise Nayeb. Hencely sued the government contractor for negligence under South Carolina law. He did not sue the military under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Even so, the Fourth Circuit held that Hencely's state claims are preempted by unspoken "federal interests" emanating from an FTCA exception. Invoking Boyle v. United Technologies Corp. , 487 U.S. 500 (1988), the court of appeals held that the FTCA's exception immunizing the government for "[a]ny claim arising out of the combatant activities of the military or naval forces ... during time of war," 28 U.S.C. §2680(j), barred Hencely's South Carolina claims against the contractor . The decision below reaffirmed a 3-1-1 split among the Second, Third, Fourth, Ninth and D.C. Circuits over Boyle 's reach when contractors defend against state tort claims by invoking §2680(j). The question presented is: Should Boyle be extended to allow federal interests emanating from the FTCA's combatant-activities exception to preempt state tort claims against a government contractor for conduct that breached its contract and violated military orders? LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 21-1994

Send us a textThere's a smell in the air, that faint electric tang before a storm. The markets are choppy, the screens green and red in alternating flickers, and behind it all you can almost hear the static of something old returning.In this episode of Acid Breath, I drive straight through the fog. The Philadelphia Fed survey just recorded its steepest drop since 2020; the factory heartbeat of America skipping hard. Across the Pacific, Taiwan Semiconductor printed perfection: record profits, guidance raised again, AI demand still climbing precipitously fast. Two worlds, one slowing, one racing ahead.And under it all, the same hum: leverage. I talk about the sub-prime echoes in auto credit and the quiet bankruptcies and American neighbourhoods with no lights on. It's a signal. Then I go back in time to 2007 and recount a period when the whispers first started and nobody listened. It's a long, cinematic ride through shutdown politics, manufacturing uncertainty, silicon glory, and the strange beauty of markets pretending to be calm. Think late-night jazz, not CNBC.If this episode makes you think, or even makes you uneasy, that's the point. Give it a five-star rating, share it with a friend who still believes in “soft landings,” and help this show keep cutting through the noise. The more you amplify it, the further we can push the conversation away from headlines and back toward truth.Because markets may forget but memory still compounds.Support the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

Dans cet épisode, nous nous intéressons aux raisons de la condamnation tardive du régime d'apartheid sud-africain par la Suisse. L'historienne Sandra Bott est allée aux sources des relations économiques entre les deux Etats pour comprendre comment, au cours de la Guerre froide, la Suisse a maintenu des liens financiers et commerciaux étroits avec Pretoria, malgré sa posture officielle de neutralité. Circuits de l'or, rôle ambigu de la Banque Nationale Suisse, crédits massifs et activités opaques de sociétés comme Glencore témoignent d'une diplomatie économique parfois complice. Aujourd'hui encore, la mémoire de ces relations reste sensible et son héritage pèse encore sur le système financier suisse. Sandra Bott répond aux questions de David Glaser.

In this episode, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra chat with Vlad and Murat from Lighter, a ZK-powered perp DEX on Ethereum. They explore how perps, short for perpetuals/perpetual trades, emerged as a crypto invention, how the exchanges offering perps evolved over the years, and the tradeoff space between transparency and privacy, specifically for marketmakers. Vladimir discusses the advantage of building a perp DEX with a team consisting of both quants and engineers. They also cover how ZK has come to be used in some projects but not others, what opportunities verifiability can unlock, and why their project favored building custom ZK circuits over using existing zkVMs. Related links: ZK Whiteboard Sessions  zkLighter White Paper A primer on perpetuals Hyperliquid docs dYdX GMX Lighter Discord Check out the latest jobs in ZK at the ZK Podcast Jobs Board.  **If you like what we do:** * Find all our links here! @ZeroKnowledge | Linktree * Subscribe to our podcast newsletter * Follow us on Twitter @zeroknowledgefm * Join us on Telegram * Catch us on YouTube **Support the show:** * Patreon * ETH - Donation address *

Send us a textEver wondered how elite trainers build confidence in both sport dogs and those with behavioural challenges? Lauren Langman and Jamie dive deep into the transformative world of confidence circuits – a versatile training approach that's changing how dogs learn to navigate their environment with precision and trust.Confidence circuits combine problem-solving with physical awareness, creating a series of obstacles where dogs must thoughtfully place their paws while maintaining focus. The beauty lies in their accessibility – you don't need fancy equipment or vast spaces to get started. From bath mats and broom handles to recycled drawers and yoga blocks, everyday household items become powerful training tools when arranged strategically. Safety remains paramount, with both trainers emphasising non-slip surfaces to prevent injuries and build positive associations.The applications are remarkably diverse. For puppies, these circuits develop crucial body awareness. For senior dogs or those with neurological deficits (like Lauren's dog, Brave), they help combat issues like foot scuffing. For "naughty but nice" dogs with behavioural challenges, they provide focus and build trust through micro-moments of controlled separation. For sport dogs, they're invaluable for perfecting running contacts and dynamic movement patterns.What makes confidence circuits particularly special is their adaptability. Each session should be unique, challenging dogs to adapt to changing scenarios – an essential skill for real-world navigation. Even in limited spaces like hallways, minimal setups using just a few cones, a yoga block, and a step-in container can provide substantial physical and mental workouts.Ready to transform your dog's movement, focus and trust? Join our community by sharing your confidence circuit creations on social media or in our community space. This training approach truly is, as Lauren concludes, "a must for any dog owner" – regardless of your dog's age, ability or temperament.Join Our Games Club Membership Communityhttps://absolutedogs.me/jointheclubSupport the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

This week on This Old House Radio Hour—what does it mean to rebuild not just homes, but entire communities?Sunset Magazine editor-in-chief Hugh Garvey joins us to discuss the magazine’s special issue devoted to the rebuilding of Altadena and Pacific Palisades in the wake of January’s devastating wildfires. Sunset, a voice in California architecture for over 125 years, has assembled an extraordinary coalition of architects, planners, artists, and historians. Together, they offer not just a plan, but a call to action—for fire-resilient homes, culturally grounded design, and a West that can weather what’s coming.Then we travel from the hills of Los Angeles to the streets of Tulsa, where Danny Boy O’Connor—from House of Pain—takes us inside his remarkable second act. After bottoming out, he bought a run-down house for $15,000... and it just happened to be the house from The Outsiders. What followed was a full restoration, a pilgrimage, and a new life. We take a tour of the Outsiders Museum and meet the community that made it possible.Later, Cheap Old Houses is back—Ethan and Elizabeth Finkelstein spotlight a dreamy 1870s Victorian in Fredonia, Kentucky and an off-the-grid cabin on federal forest land in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, both for under $100,000.Plus, another round of House Rules, our listener-powered game that tests your home renovation know-how. And in The Simple Fix, we show you how to find a stud in your baseboard—without breaking the wall.And as always, we’re taking your calls. Got a house problem, project hurdle, or just need a little advice? Call us at (877) 864-7460.All that and more, coming up on This Old House Radio Hour.

When production becomes the North Star of manufacturing leadership, everything changes. Oscar, who has evolved from engineering manager to  leader of engineering and production at ALL Circuits, reveals the shift in mindset that's transformed their Guadalajara facility. His refreshingly practical approach centers on making production results the focal point for every department—from quality to efficiency to personnel.This conversation delves into one of manufacturing's most persistent challenges: talent management. Operating in Guadalajara's competitive EMS landscape requires innovative approaches to both recruiting and retention. Oscar shares his multi-pronged strategy: creating a genuinely welcoming work environment, providing meaningful challenges that keep team members engaged, investing in state-of-the-art equipment, and—most crucially—building internal talent pathways. Rather than merely competing for existing talent, ALL Circuits takes responsibility for developing its own workforce through dedicated training programs and mentorship structures designed to transform recent graduates into skilled manufacturing professionals.Perhaps most exciting is the discussion of ALL Circuits' recent acquisition, which integrates them into a global manufacturing family with facilities across Asia. The merger creates a fascinating opportunity for cross-pollination between ALL Circuits' automotive, and automated, manufacturing expertise and their new partners' consumer electronics specialization. As Oscar wisely notes, "Every day is a school day"—a philosophy that perfectly captures the continuous learning mindset driving manufacturing excellence at ALL Circuits. Filmed on location at ALL Circuits Guadalajara.
