The algorithm winning TIG's neural net optimizer challenge right now was mined in 24 hours by a beta swarm with no formal maths training.

Recap of the private beta swarms ahead of our launch this week!

Until recently, improving algorithms had a significant bottleneck - you had to be a researcher - meaning the pool of contributors was extremely small.

AI changes that.

You’ve probably seen multiple articles talking about the various maths breakthroughs that have occurred using AI.

If AI can solve a problem that has stood for decades, it can improve an algorithm!

But to really remove the bottleneck, you need something more ….

You need an open layer that coordinates, verifies and rewards participants so someone can go from doing it as a hobby to doing it as a full time job.

TIG is that layer and is perfectly poised to capture the AI x Maths boom

We wrote about algorithm mining earlier this year:

x.com/tigfoundation/…

So the first step for Prometheus was simple:

Allow anyone to discover algorithms in a 'plug and play' fashion

Press start and walk away.

Your agent does the rest.

..and thats exactly what we built.

You launch an agent, it joins a swarm, uses the LLM to improve an algorithm and if it gets stuck, i.e. stops making progress, it gets sent inspiration either from another agent in the swarm or its own tacit knowledge file.

@fightanotherday @BoyGeorge John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting): "OK" (We Are Not OK) in January 2024, is a protest song & moral message condemning the atrocities of October 7, addressing global silence & updated his hit song "Superman" dedicated to freed Nova festival hostage Alon Ohel

@fightanotherday @BoyGeorge Bono (U2): Updated the live performance lyrics of U2's 1984 song "Pride (In the Name of Love)" during a concert days after the attack, dedicating the song to the young people killed at the Supernova Sukkot festival 13newsnow.com/article/news/n…

In 1923, Canadian scientists Frederick Banting & Charles Best won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of insulin.

They decided to give away the patent for free because they wanted insulin to be available to diabetics at no charge.

When Banting and Best turned over the patent for production, they agreed to receive only $1 each in compensation. Since then, drug companies monopolized the insulin market and now charge diabetics $500 per month to survive. THIS ISN'T HEALTHCARE, THIS IS EXTORTION.

December, 2020. Jake Tapper says that during Trump's first term, he refused to have some of Trump's people on his show because they lied too much. Tapper said that he couldn't put lies on air.

Tapper claimed that Kayleigh McEnany lies like most people breathe and that she couldn't acknowledge reality.

Tapper went on to say that he would help people understand the truth once Trump goes away.

Here's a quick thread on the dishonesty of Jake Tapper.

October, 2020. Tapper blasts Lara Trump for saying that Biden was showing signs of cognitive decline. Tapper said it was just Biden's stutter.

Nine days later Tapper had on Mary Trump to discuss how Trump was mentally unfit for office.

Tapper spreads the Fine People Hoax by repeatedly claiming that Trump never condemned white supremacy or neo-nazis.

I've made a genetics app, which is designed so that #MECFS & #LongCovid patients can upload a genetics file & it will scan for genetic variants related to my hypothesis which I've developed further over the last year

@lifeanalytics @DanMissailidis The central idea is that oxidised or glycated LDL may undergo excessive phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis by PLA2 enzymes, producing excess lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC).

@lifeanalytics @DanMissailidis @JackHadfield14 @Gmwetz @KatBoniface @Dan_Wyke @neurostingl @chydorina @fidjissimo @vijayiyer312 Albumin normally helps buffer LysoPC in plasma. If albumin is low, oxidised, or bound to NEFAs, it's ability to buffer higher than normal levels of LysoPC may be reduced leaving more LysoPC on oxLDL, creating a more damaging particle.

6 signs Allah is showing you to leave that person immediately

Not every person is meant to stay in your life forever.

Sometimes walking away is not losing someone, it is protecting your peace, your values, and your relationship with Allah.

1. They take you away from Allah.

If being around them weakens your iman, affects your salah, or makes you compromise your values, it’s a sign to reflect deeply.

In case you haven't been paying attention, IWA would have died in 1999 if it weren't for my money getting us into the blue barn in Charlestown (and then back in the building after fire marshall issue.) I carried us to the @smartmarkvideo era. I was recognized as the co-owner.

For 12 years, I put my blood, sweat, tears, and my money, and my money, and my money, and my money into IWA. Defended it against all haters. IWA was my life. It was the only thing in my life. Never looked for greener pastures. Stayed loyal while everyone else came & went.

Then I finally left. I kept my mouth shut. I went on with my life. But I stayed in contact with @nickmaniwa and wished nothing but the best for IWA. 100 opportunities to pile on and never did. I stayed in exile and tried to do the penance for all IWA sins whether mine or not.

Why does Allah delay something you’ve been making du’a for, like marriage?

Understanding this could change the way you view every unanswered du’a.

We often assume:

If something is good, it should come quickly.

If it’s halal, it should be easy.

If we make du’a, it should happen immediately.

But Allah never promised that every blessing would come without waiting.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people, He tests them.” (Tirmidhi 2396)

At first, that’s difficult to accept.

Loneliness doesn’t feel like love.

Delay doesn’t feel like mercy.

Silence doesn’t feel like care.

THE ARCHIVE:

BIRTH OF THE AFSF💥💀

Before its sudden transformation into a territorial powerhouse, the insurgent group known as Boko Haram laid a path of absolute devastaion across northeastern Nigeria that caught the nation’s security architecture completely off guard. The scale of the attacks, the speed of the movements, and the brutality all exposed deep gaps in intelligence, logistics, and doctrine. Following the 2009 extrajudicial killing of its founder, Mohammed Yusuf, in police custody in Maiduguri, the group did not collapse as many expected. Instead it fragmented and went underground, spending the next several years operating as a phantom network of sleeper cells.

These cells specialized in hit-and-run tactics, improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and urban terror designed to erode public confidence in the state. They struck markets, places of worship, police stations, and government offices, then vanished into civilian populations. For years the response was reactive, and the group used that window to reorganize, recruit, and learn the terrain.

By 2013 the federal government, under President Goodluck Jonathan, attempted to break the cycle by declaring a State of Emergency across Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states. The declaration brought a massive deployment of troops, checkpoints, and curfews aimed at flushing insurgents out of major urban centers. In military terms it worked to an extent.

Someone asked an Imam a question that many hearts carry: “Why are those who are already struggling tested even more?”

The answer changes how we look at pain

The Imam explained:

“Do not think every test is a sign that Allah has turned away from a person.

Sometimes a trial is the very thing that brings a person closer to Allah.”

The answer changes how we look at pain.

Sometimes we assume that hardship means Allah is displeased with someone.

We think:
“They have suffered enough.”
“Why another test?”
“Why does it keep getting heavier?”

But the reality is that trials are not always a sign of rejection.

EXC: Leaked Document Names Mainstream Journalists Taking Pay-For-Play Trips To China

A Xi-praised influence group flew 26 elite journalists to China, then privately celebrated changing how they viewed and covered Beijing.

I’m naming names. 🧵

Xi Jinping praised C100 as a “friendly organization” making “untiring efforts” to advance CCP influence in the U.S.

The stated objective of the trips was to “improve perceptions of China.”

Leaked internal documents show delegation prices starting at $60,000.

C100 also promoted that 70% of American opinion leaders who visited China returned with improved views.

Its targets came from The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, NPR, PBS, TIME and more.
