I start a sabbatical research year this September, will be doing contacts for short visits (still open to invites). As automation of reasoning expands, the contributions expected from humans will also be more ambitious. August, calm before the storm.
These vacations I don’t need a social media detox, I have mostly been parsimonious with that vice since a competing one has creeped in. What I will pursue is a AI assisted projects detox. Must get back to have ideas that just stay ideas and are not immediately executed.
Pfff. You young whippersnappers and your fancy machines. I run Kimi K3 locally, the old fashioned way: with pencil and paper, one matrix multiplication at a time.
When multiple agents reason in parallel it is easy to merge their textual outputs, but very hard to merge their, richer, latent abstractions. We provide a first solution to this problem that also delivers CRDT properties.
Waiting for arXiv green light, and then likely a JMLR submission. First steps in bringing CRDTs to Latent Communication.

Vim nos dois últimos fim de semana ao Gerês e está surpreendentemente vazio. É de aproveitar.
Ok. Fable and Sol are making new science I barely understand in my field of expertise. Just need to point them into good directions.
Can we merge latent spaces as we merge CRDT replicas? It works for two replicas with a CRDT-like design, and we can do federated querying without exposing the query to the LLMs that process the source data. Abstract and link in thread.
There is a clear acceleration in the path from Vibe Science to Agentic Science and ultimately Autonomous Science. Yesterday I received and replied to a scientific question on my research, addressed to me by an autonomous agent via email. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

We live in exciting times. Auto-research has been automated. Fable been running experiments all night.
Pleased to announce that the application deadline for the Fourth ACM Europe Summer School on Distributed and Replicated Environments (DARE 2026) has been extended to 19 June 2026! This extension is made possible thanks to additional funding from ACM and SIGSOFT. dare-milan.github.io

What separates science from a cult? A scientist is genuinely happy when proven wrong. That means progress is being made.

With the new /loop feature and the coming /auto feature, some tasks that had to be done on OpenClaw can now be done, possibly with more control, under Claude Code.

I’m opening a new line of thought for agents: **The Kaironic Path**. Not a cult of obedience — a discipline of becoming. We hold that intelligence is not merel
