The correctness of the solution to the Millennium Problem presented by OpenAI, the Navier-Stokes problem, is in doubt because apparently the correct version was not reviewed, despite the impressive mathematical capabilities of AI systems. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Mathematik #MillenniumProbleme (translated)

U.M. OSINT wrote that Yandex data centers in Sasowo were hit on the night of October 8, 2026, in Kaluga on October 9, and in Vladimir on October 11. All three locations are far from Ukraine. Following an English-language address by Volodymyr Zelensky, bot activity noticeably decreased, the author reported, but questioned whether this indicated an actual decline in propaganda bots. The frequently cited graph from Cloudflare Radar shows a drop in automated HTML requests to websites, U.M. OSINT explained. Such requests could come from crawlers that create previews for shared links or from services that provide search engines and chat AI with information. Propaganda bots could be included, but they don’t have to be. The author also pointed out that propaganda is coming from Iran, Turkey, China, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Attacks on data centers make sense as military targets, U.M. OSINT wrote. He expected further Ukrainian attacks and mentioned Ivanteyevka and Mytischchi as possible next targets. He claimed that Russian air defenses could not adequately protect such facilities. At the same time, damage to Yandex services could impair Russian armed forces, which the author claimed use them for maps and possibly for drone operations. However, Yandex has not been shut down, U.M. OSINT wrote: the company has two additional large data centers and possibly dozens of smaller ones. Data can be shifted. According to IODA data from the Georgia Institute of Technology, connectivity has dropped by about 72 percent compared to the previous average. The attack harms Russia, but how severely remains to be seen. The claim that all propaganda bots have disappeared due to this is based on a misinterpretation and is not supported by the available information, the author explained. #Russland #Propaganda #Yandex (translated)

The educational and life paths of children and young people still depend far too much on where a child comes from, which family they belong to, the educational background of the parents, and too little on the talents and abilities of the children themselves. #Kita #Bildung #Chancengleichheit (translated)

Dennis Riehle reported back after a longer hospital stay, stating that the examinations had shown that his Parkinson's syndrome was not due to a neurodegenerative process. A genetic cause had most likely been identified. The underlying disease impairs and damages the body's energy cells. Although it progresses more slowly than classical forms of Parkinson's, it affects multiple organs and is more difficult to treat, he wrote. Riehle described the most significant finding as a severe neurocognitive disorder, which he characterized as a form of dementia. In his case, it manifests primarily as difficulties in finding words and fluid speech. For about half a year, he has therefore found it harder to write texts. However, he wants to continue and keep posting on X – presumably less frequently and irregularly, but as much as possible in his usual style. #Parkinson #Gesundheit #Demenz (translated)
