This section focuses on the strong eigenvector comparison theorem, a crucial component in achieving the optimal convergence rate for the ESPRIT algorithm in spectral estimation.

We present the formal proof demonstrating that the ESPRIT algorithm achieves optimal error scaling for both location and intensity estimation in spectral analysis under specific conditions.

AI lacks the evolutionary, epigenetic, and developmental paths shaping human consciousness-limiting its potential for true self-aware or reflective minds.

Went looking for GTA machinimas on YouTube, found Rest in Pieces by Alvin Soprano instead. Got hooked. Watched her other Sims 4 machinimas (Drained, Bone-Skinny, Goodbye Mommy.) Each one weird, funny, creepy, or all three. Loved the dry humor, subtle messages, and the odd, haunting vibe. Never played The Sims, still enjoyed it. Wish I’d found her channel before she deleted her older stuff.

Brains evolve through genetic and developmental variability, yielding unique architectures-unlike the fixed, identical hardware of computers and AI.

This section details the second-order eigenvector perturbation theory used in our improved analysis of the ESPRIT algorithm, with technical proofs in the appendix.

Glitch tokens persist in closed and open models; aligning tokenizer and training data, plus targeted checks, are key to safer, more efficient LLMs.

Servicehost.exe is not a virus. It is an essential Windows System process. If you find it running from a different path, then it can be a malware impersonation. Follow the steps below to check the path of the servicehost. executable on Windows 11.

This week’s HackerNoon Company of the Week is SORA—a bold project creating a decentralized, inclusive economic system. From token bonding curves to multi-body sortition governance, SORA aims to reshape finance for Earth, the metaverse, and beyond. Plus, a throwback to its 2022 DeFi Writing Contest with HackerNoon!

Quantum computing promises to harness the principles of quantum mechanics and reach a level of information processing that regular computers we use today cannot. Nations are racing to achieve quantum superiority or “quantum advantage” as such a position would have important implications for national security, economic dominance, and scientific advancement.

Discover how Phil Wirtjes is leading Enclave Global to revolutionize crypto trading with secure enclaves and decentralized architecture.

AI lacks the brain's biochemical diversity, slower speeds, and energy efficiency-key factors that may underlie consciousness and advanced cognition.

ANNs are inspired by brain function but fall far short of biological complexity, raising questions about their ability to mimic consciousness or cognition.

AI draws from brain models but can’t fully capture consciousness; debates on functionalism and embodiment shape how we model or simulate mind in machines.

Human brain evolution guides AI consciousness research; neuroscience-inspired caution and precise definitions are essential for artificial minds.

Software engineers are facing a rapid evolution in the field of artificial intelligence (GenAI) and "The Great Flattening" This article outlines my take to effectively navigate this dynamic landscape and propel your career.

Model-specific analysis reveals GPT-2, NeoX, and OLMo tokenizers each harbor unique under-trained tokens, influenced by training data and tokenizer choices.

Untrained tokens often stem from unused byte tokens, merged fragments, and special tokens-patterns found across major LLMs regardless of architecture.

Under-trained token indicators efficiently flag risky tokens in LLMs, with cross-model results showing 0.1–1% of vocabularies consistently problematic.

Presents new methods for detecting ‘glitch tokens’ in LLMs-untrained tokens that cause unwanted behavior-and tools for safer, more robust language models.

HyperSwap was hit by a massive DDoS attack that impacted both their website and application. Aleph Cloud's anti-DDoS solution was used to redirect the attack traffic to a black hole. This incident marked the first successful deployment of Aleph’s experimental DDoS solution, developed to protect decentralized applications.

The Chess Game is the final Ruby project from The Odin Project’s curriculum. The project is based on the Connect Four game.

Windsurf has rolled out a major revamp of their pricing and offering. Free plan users now receive 25 prompt credits per month (up from 5). That is equivalent to 100 prompts with GPT-4.1, o4-mini, and other premium models.

Build a basic chatbot in Python without APIs or LLMs. A nostalgic guide to ChatterBot, CSV training, and joke-telling bots—just like we did pre-ChatGPT.
