Packing squares seems to be having its moment, so I took a crack at it... I found 25 new square packing records using evolutionary LLM program search, similar to AlphaEvolve.

I found a new pit on Elysium Mons (on Mars) It's 42m wide and looks pretty deep 25.224°N 146.721°E

Replying to @small_LM
I don't think the world can handle the level of randomness emanating from this account.

thank you for the endorsement @AgustinLebron3
A million monkeys and a million typewriters? Nope. Just Ryan on a rainy Sunday.

My p(doom) just tripled
LLMs can learn to detect if they are running in a batch vs. alone due to floating point summation order differences

Hi math I have a proof that ℤ + 1 has more odd numbers than even numbers. Can someone endorse me on arxiv so I can publish, maybe terry?
He's right, isn't he? Since 0 was arbitrarily chosen to be even, there is one more even number than odd numbers

Many groups coming out saying that they’d already found this bug before. …like ok and you didn’t help to fix it?
Hi all, I have a new result I'm excited to share. It turns out that *all existing implementations* of softmax and cross-entropy (that's JAX, PyTorch, textbooks, etc) have a subtle bug --- two bugs, actually. A simple rewrite fixes both, and eliminates "slingshots" when grokking:

Scattered Threads 🧵 Art dealers often cut up textiles and sold pieces separately. Opus 5.5 combed through 40k museum photos for pieces that may belong together. These Qing rank badges at @ClevelandArt and @metmuseum may even turn out to be the front and back of the same robe.

How it works: - DINOv2 embedding similarity found 24k candidate pairs. - Patch matching + RANSAC filtered these pairs down. - Claude reviewed ~170 against museum records. - I then manually compared the best matches.

21 pairs survived the filters. 6 turned out to be links that museums already note, a good sign that the search finds real connections. The other 15 may be new, or known to specialists. Read more: ryanxu.net/scattered-threads…

Not really sure what’s going on with PHP today but I changed some passwords in case. Please advise @AdinDrabkin

I need to come clean and give credit where it’s due. This is not my quote but rather Ryan circa 2019, surfaced today by Claude as it compiled an archive of everything that I’ve ever written. I probably peaked around then.
if you clean a vacuum cleaner, you become a vacuum cleaner
