At Data + AI Summit, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi unveiled LTAP, a new architecture that collapses the 40-year unification ...

These are math’s most famous open questions. Solve one, and you’ll win a $1-million prize—but it’s only happened once since ...

Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...

Richard Feynman described a decision-making problem and its solution in handwritten notes, but the meaning of the notes has been a mystery for almost 50 y. We decipher the problem and solution from ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

When Miro’s data team pointed AI agents directly at its Snowflake environment, the agents got the wrong answer more than 65% of the time. The problem wasn’t the model — it was context. With more than ...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...

Is America heading toward a national debt crisis? As an economic adviser to President Biden and an economist active in mainly Democratic policy circles since the late 1980s, I’ve spent most of my ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

If you like the idea of a ‘whodunnit’ style detective game, but one without any murder or grizzly crime, you’ll probably love Little Problems. It’s a cosy detective game, where instead of solving ...
