Jacopo Attolini, an AI industry worker posting as Atol8, built a bot powered by GPT-6 Astra combined with Python-based numerical tools to play Balatro. He reported the bot has repeatedly beaten the game's toughest difficulty, the Gold Stake Black Deck, and shared a YouTube video explaining its design, though he walked back an initial claim that it does so reliably.
Google has introduced WeatherNext 3, a new AI-driven forecasting system meant to replace or augment traditional numerical weather prediction methods. The system aims to deliver faster, less computationally expensive forecasts while maintaining or improving accuracy compared to physics-based models.
A technical blog post explains why three-term recurrence relations used to compute Bessel functions can fail depending on direction and function type. Forward recurrence works for second-kind Bessel functions but not first-kind, while reverse recurrence works for first-kind but not second-kind functions.
