New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 02:56:47

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

The EPA Wants to Roll Back Emissions Controls on Power Plants

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-09-20 01:36:25

The US Environmental Protection Agency moved to roll back emissions standards for power plants, the second-largest source of CO 2 emissions in the country, on Wednesday, claiming that the American power sector does not “contribute significantly” to air pollution. “The bottom line is that the EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says Ryan Maher, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.

What's an Eight Sleep? A little while ago I asked my infosec Twitter followers what IoT device in my house they thought I found a live AWS key in. (For those that don’t know, Amazon keys can be incredibly dangerous if exposed) Guesses ranged from a refrigerator to a bidet, but no one got it right. The right answer was my bed.

Moroi preview: A grimdark action game that's actually pretty funny

The most surprising thing about Moroi is its sense of humor. Moroi is a top-down, dual-stick action and puzzle game set in a dungeon of surreal horrors, where each cell contains a unique and grotesque vignette. In the first area of the map, there’s a cell containing a sentient meat grinder that craves human flesh. In another, a dead man is strapped to a feeding tube that’s still pumping slop into his bulbous, pulsing stomach. The next room over, you meet a talking duck with far too many human te

After 20 years, math couple solves major group theory problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-06-04 11:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.
