At the annual Bridges conference, mathematical creativity was on dazzling display. By Siobhan Roberts It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that the Dutch sculptor Rinus Roelofs organizes his life ...

OpenAI has unveiled two major breakthroughs: an experimental model that won a gold medal in a prestigious math competition and a new alpha model with formidable coding skills. This dual advancement ...

When testing code that involves randomness, it's common to mock Math.random to return deterministic values. However, this breaks zod/v4 when parsing object schemas with more than one key. It appears ...

Reasoning capabilities represent a fundamental component of AI systems. The introduction of OpenAI o1 sparked significant interest in building reasoning models through large-scale reinforcement ...

A Python-based predictor using z3 to reverse-engineer and predict random values generated by Math.random in V8 with 100% accuracy. This script leverages a series of Math.random() values (min 5) to ...

AI Overviews, the AI-generated summaries Google supplies for certain Google Search queries, will soon be able to handle “more complex topics” and “multimodal” and “multistep” searches, the company ...

Bitcoin miners don't solve complex math problems - they guess numbers. While "solving mathematical puzzles" has become a common description of bitcoin mining, the process more closely resembles a ...

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, with competition among large language models (LLMs) remaining intense. Despite recent advances pushing the boundaries of what these ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the design issue of a total secrecy coding scheme on remote estimation against eavesdroppers with anti-coding mechanisms. To be more specific, a legitimate user ...

Some of the most satisfying number puzzles require little mathematical know-how. In fact, cracking the one below calls for thinking that is quite nonmathematical. I don’t know where or when I first ...
