For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear

When Anthropic retired its Claude Opus 3 language model in January 2026, the company’s researchers conducted a “ retirement interview ” with the model. Opus 3 expressed a desire for a place where it “could share unprompted musings, insights or creative works,” so the company gave it a blog. Claude’s Corner featured essays on fraught topics such as machine consciousness, along with exchanges between the model and human commenters that seemed both earnest and emotional. The blog experiment was par
