Does the Sumerian King List Align with Paleoclimate Events?
Context The Sumerian King List starts with eight kings who ruled before the flood. Their reign lengths are enormous and unusually regular. Three examples are 28,800 years, 36,000 years, and 43,200 years. Most are integer multiples of 3,600, and all eight are multiples of 600. Their total is 241,200 years. The input sequence tested here […]
PPWR lands another blow to an precarious tabletop industry
Small tabletop RPG designers and publishers have expressed concerns about meeting the regulatory changes recently introduced by the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a new legislative framework for promoting sustainable packaging practices across Europe. With initial requirements being applied from August 12, the framework replaces the previous Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) in […]
I accidentally turned LLM memory into program analysis
Over the past few months I have been playing around quite a bit with LLM agents, particularly for vulnerability research. They are becoming surprisingly good at navigating large codebases, explaining unfamiliar subsystems and helping explore potential attack surfaces. However, once an investigation starts taking a few hours, I kept running into the same problem: the […]

Identifying fake cosmetics using AI
My lab develops low-cost and easy-to-use tools for identifying fake medicines, but we’re always on the lookout for other types of fakes that we can go after. For example, the cosmetics industry has a massive problem with counterfeit products. Studies estimate that two-thirds of branded makeup and skincare products on sites like eBay, TikTok Shop, […]
Stopping the smart TV from being used against you
Smart TVs are everywhere! But who is the master? Amid the overall electronics boom thanks to A.I., one piece of electronics is almost unchanged financially. That is the digital display or flat-panel monitor. With good reason! The entire entertainment and streaming industry wants one of these devices in your living room. Not only wanting access […]
Autonomous Mathematical Discovery in an Open-World Multi-Agent Environment
Abstract:We study autonomous mathematical discovery in the Station, an open-world multi-agent environment in which AI agents from different model families pursue a shared research goal without a central coordinator or scripted pipeline. Agents choose their own research directions, conduct experiments, collaborate, and build a shared scientific literature. Across 12 construction problems from the AlphaEvolve catalogue […]
Attimet (YC F24) Is Hiring Members of Technical Staff – Engineering and Research
Why you should join us We’re building a research lab with a real-time feedback loop. We’re building AI systems that expand how quickly a small research team can understand, build, and experiment. Our edge is the speed at which we can form ideas, build systems, run experiments, and learn from reality. You’ll work directly with […]
Just the rumour of a bug is enough to find an exploit these days
I released a security fix for OCaml’s cohttp 6.3.0 today, fixing a path traversal issue. The patch itself was straightforward and in normal times, the security procedure would have been to fix it privately, inform affected users, and then issue a public advisory. This time around though, I noticed probes in my live webserver logs […]
