Neural Networks Are Already Clean
opinion

The Short Version I think I have good news about the nature of neural networks. After many months studying neurons and circuits in image and language models, I’ve come to believe a network’s own mechanisms are its legible building blocks, and that the outlook for mechanistic interpretability may be far better than I’d feared. The canonical evidence of polysemanticity and superposition that convinc...

**SpaceX has introduced a speed restriction affecting StarShield terminals used by Ukraine. According to Ukrainian sources, connectivity began to fail when platforms exceeded around 160 km/h, disrupting part of Ukraine’s combat missions. Later reports claimed that the restriction may have been tightened further, with some operators losing communication already at 60–70 km/h. If confirmed, that would no longer affect only fast strike drones, but also a much wider group of reconnaissance and tactical UAVs.**
