I got the highest score on ARC-AGI again swapping Python for English

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily. This highlights a core limitation of current LLMs: they struggle to reason about things they weren't trained on. They struggle to generalize. But they are getting better, fast. Last December, I got first place on ARC-AGI v1 with a score of 53.6%. A lot has changed since then. Thinking models had just come out and

Everything to Remember About ‘Gen V’ Before It Returns for Season 2

The Boys spin-off series Gen V returns for its second season this week.

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge Apr. 25, 2025 [technology] Had my priorities been better aligned, I would have first begun building Linux skills sometime during the Bush (W) administration. It has left me feeling as though I should make up for that lost time. So I’ve decided to reclaim that lost experience of installing and using Debian from around the early-mid 2000s. From there, the plan is to upgrade the installation through each stable release up to present day Debian Stable. And hopefu

The ‘Futurama’ Binge Season Is Stuffed With Sly Commentary and Sci-Fi Delights

Futurama’s new season is being called its 13th by Hulu, but the show, which premiered in 1999, has had a stop-and-start presence over the years across Fox, Comedy Central, and straight-to-video movies. The show’s latest season—its third on Hulu—is again treading new ground, getting an all-in-one binge release. One consistent element across Futurama’s discombobulated history has been its loyal fans, so it seems unlikely that dropping the entire season in one go will be a strike against it. Still

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season was weird as hell. Not just for the wild swings in tone and genre the series went for in its latest round of boldly going, but for a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half. But now that the season is over, and work on the next has already concluded, its producers are beginning to acknowledge that stumble. Speaking to TrekMovie recently after a screening of season 3

The Next Era of Gene Editing Will Be Disease Agnostic

At the WIRED Health summit last week, Harvard biochemist and gene-editing pioneer David Liu says later this year his lab plans to report on a single gene-editing strategy that could treat many unrelated diseases. He calls it disease-agnostic therapeutic gene editing. “It sounds sort of crazy, but there’s actually a very good molecular biology reason why this could be possible,” he told the audience in Boston, stopping short of details. Gene-editing treatments are currently being developed for

Whole-Genome Sequencing Will Change Pregnancy

The world of pregnancy is going to radically change, predicts Noor Siddiqui. “I think that the default way people are going to choose to have kids is via IVF and embryo screening,” she said at the WIRED Health summit last week. “There’s just a massive amount of risk that you can take off of the table.” Siddiqui is the founder and CEO of Orchid, a biotech company that offers whole-genome screening of embryos for IVF. By analyzing the DNA of different embryos before selecting which one to implant

The Witcher Season 4 will hit Netflix in October with its new Geralt

It's been quite the wait, but the fourth season of The Witcher is almost here. In a teaser shared this weekend, Netflix finally revealed the release date: October 30. The video also provided an extended look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia — a casting change that fans naturally have a lot of feelings about after Henry Cavill won their hearts with his take on the character in the first three seasons. The minute-and-a-half-long clip doesn't give away too much about season four, but we now hav

Get Your Wig and Sword Ready, ‘The Witcher’ Returns in October

At long last, we have a release date for The Witcher season four: October 30. On Saturday night, Netflix released a first look at the new season, which sees Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill bowed out. We see Geralt’s still doing his monster-slaying thing, and the clip goes out of its way to assure Hemsworth’s got the look and action chops to carry the show for its final two seasons. Like the Cavill-led era, this new adventure for Geralt will span eight episodes, and

And while we caught a brief glimpse of him in action last year, the first proper clip from season 4 of the show reveals just how Hemsworth will be inhabiting the role — including his take on Geralt’s signature growling voice. In addition to giving us a better look at G

Snapchat rolls out Group Streaks and 'Infinite Retention' for chats

Snapchat has introduced a couple of new features it says are "highly requested" by its users. The first is "Infinite Retention," which as its name implies will allow you to keep a chat history like you could on a messaging app and prevent your messages from disappearing.

The app has been testing the feature since 2024, an

Life, work, death and the peasant: Rent and extraction

This is the third piece of the fourth part of our series (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb) looking at the lives of pre-modern peasant farmers – a majority of all of the humans who have ever lived. Last time, we started looking at the subsistence of peasant agriculture by considering the productivity of our model farming families under basically ideal conditions: relatively good yields and effectively infinite land. This week we’re going to start peeling back those assumptions in light of the very s
