Senators released a revised bipartisan US Senate bill Saturday that could accelerate data-center and power-grid construction by streamlining federal permitting while requiring data centers to cover their added infrastructure costs. A procedural vote is scheduled for Monday, November 9. •Faster Approvals: The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would streamline environmental reviews and transmission development. States would have one year to review major power-line projects before developers could seek federal approval. Certain utilities are exempt from expanded planning requirements. •Consumer Protections: New qualifying data centers must cover their added electricity and grid costs without shifting them to other customers. Owners or operators must provide financial guarantees and remain liable if they leave early. States could charge more and use the surplus to lower other customers’ bills. •Updated Safeguards: Agencies could alter permits in response to court orders, while many environmental permitting challenges face a 150-day filing deadline. Two contested tribal provisions were removed, with additional tribal protections added. •Energy & Community Oversight: A new DOE program would help state, local and tribal governments assess data-center impacts on electricity, water and infrastructure. Federal reporting would separately identify data-center electricity demand, including facilities used for AI, cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining. •Nuclear Energy: Four measures were added addressing nuclear licensing, uranium enrichment, NRC staffing and DOE transparency. •Legislative Outlook: Monday’s Senate cloture vote requires 60 votes. White House support remains, but congressional objections and opposition from some environmental and tribal groups leave passage uncertain.

Today Physical Superintelligence PBC is announcing a proof of the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, one of the central open problems in quantum complexity, with major implications for quantum computing speedup. psi.inc/research/aaronson-am… Thread 👇

Wow! Wow!😲 “Open since 2008, the conjecture of Scott Aaronson and Andris Ambainis concerns when quantum computers can be exponentially faster than ordinary ones. Now, a research system developed internally at Physical Superintelligence (PSI), running a non-public Anthropic model, found a proof for it, settling one of the most fundamental questions in quantum computing.”

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

I have an agent named JSON Bourne he has no memory of his previous sessions

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…

today, we introduce a little mischief to the world. for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use. from 0.5¢ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace. it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning. happy halloween.
