we are entering a renaissance in programming language and runtime research, and a golden age of software testing and verification it’s time to rewrite all software
Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 are available now:
We've reset weekly limits for all Grok Bot users. Enjoy!
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges. They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision.
“The NVIDIA Board is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.” Oh boy
Every project this guy makes is very cool Very good follow: @apekshik His latest is an infinitely evolving Backrooms Simulator: dimension9.space
This prompt finds things that make you feel kinda gross, like learning you have cockroaches in the walls: "Clean up stale agent sessions and coding worktrees on my machine. Scan my activity monitor for suspicious processes from apps or packages that I may have installed at one point but no longer use. Audit any skills, MCPs, or agent instructions with exposed credentials or instructions >4months old to review for deletion."
It's never been this easy to build software And never this hard to make money with it
20 years ago there was a building in SF that was nicknamed the Y Scraper because so many YC founders lived there. They just had a reunion and it makes me so happy to see them all. One thing you can say for sure about YC: no investor's founders become closer friends.
i've spent over 1,000 hours building with AI agents... and i've tried them ALL from OpenClaw to Grok Bot, ChatGPT Dots and Open Bot... every single time, i end up back on Hermes here's why: - it hasn't stopped evolving since i first tried it in march, it keeps absorbing the best features from its competitors - the team behind it is locked in, new models, connectors and plugins land extremely fast - it's one of the best harnesses you can use, sometimes more efficient than Codex or Claude Code for me - you can run any model, bring your own subscriptions, or run it locally and it picks the best model for your machine - it just works... and when it breaks, one 'hermes doctor' fixes it i get why people are impressed by Grok Bot's UI, but it takes 5 minutes to make the Hermes desktop app look exactly how you want hide the tool calls, the extra menus, everything you don't need, and you end up with a setup that's yours forever the mobile app is in beta right now, i should get access in…
SITUATION DETECTED: Tencent’s chief AI scientist and former OpenAI researcher Shunyu Yao said that AI models will soon be powerful enough to master biology, and that Tencent plans to build AI science labs that will operate completely autonomously, per SCMP.
When you look at a frozen river, you must also imagine the current raging beneath the ice. I think all three big labs have achieved autonomous research and their internal models can now choose their own research directions. We will begin to see the fruits of this work this month.
Hermes Agent can now review your codebase for security bugs with the new official Security plugin by @mark_s. Hermes first maps what an attacker could reach and which inputs it trusts. It splits the code across parallel subagents, checks every candidate finding against the code, and traces whether an attacker can actually exploit it. Turn on test confirmation and Hermes writes a small reproduction for each finding and runs it in a temporary copy of the repo. Each report records the evidence and the findings Hermes ruled out, and exports to SARIF for your existing tools. Run it from chat, the CLI, or the Security page in Hermes Desktop.
Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app. Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge. So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record. (The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)
frontier models, with lots of test time compute, are becoming the engine of scientific discovery
as abundant intelligence permeates into the physical world and accelerates engineering (via code), we are going to see: safer cars, less expensive homes, more durable products, etc
"LLMs engender harms to the pillars of Asahi Linux: software freedom, the open-source community, the open Internet, the environment, digital privacy, user consent, and software developers themselves... we broadly forbid the use of generative AI." 🙄 asahilinux.org/llm-policy/
Going back to Opus 4.5 just to feel something
My friend just unironically asked me if I've used Obsidian
POV: you're Jensen Huang now
Faker is 30 with six world championships, and his screen flashes like a strobe light because he won't leave his camera in one spot for more than a split second. Every flash is him jumping over to a teammate to see what's going on in their lane, then snapping back to his own fight. He does it over and over for the entire game. He's using five keys. F1 puts the camera on himself, F2 through F5 put it on each of his four teammates, and he taps Tab in between to pull up the scoreboard with everybody's items. In League your screen only shows a small circle of the map around your own champion, so this is how he sees the rest of it. The minimap in the corner shows little icons for where everyone is, which helps right up until you need to know how much health the enemy laner has left or how many minions are about to hit your tower. And he can't just check once. An enemy who showed up in top lane four seconds ago could be standing in the river by now, so whatever he saw is already going out…
try this next “use /create-formal-verification-skill to model these state machines, one skill per subsystem. and use /statechart to visualize my most important user flows” both skills are in pstack github.com/cursor/plugins…
Two things I’ve been thinking about regarding AI: • People often highlight the risks involved in AI, which are surely very real. I’m struck, however, by how hard it is to understand the contours of the positive scenario. There are easy-to-perceive and frequently invoked elements of a positive vision — more diseases cured, more material abundance, etc. — which sound great, but these are by themselves just ingredients. I’m curious what the larger equilibrium is supposed to look like. Do people work? If so, why? What is their marginal contribution? If not, how are resources allocated? What is scarce? What is the ratio between humans and AIs? Are humans in control, whatever that means? One sometimes hears the Culture novels invoked as one scenario, but I’m not sure they depict a desirable outcome. (AI runs everything and humans compete in games? Iain Banks himself said that the humans in the Culture are “somewhere between passengers, pets and parasites.”) There is Richard Brautigan’s fam…
now that apple put xcode inside claude code, here’s how i’d find, build and grow an iOS app with AI agents: find it - open appfigures or sensor tower and sort utilities by revenue - filter for apps with a rating under 3.5 - bonus points if the top app hasn't shipped an update in 6+ months - check the keywords they rank for in appfigures. low difficulty + high revenue is the sweet spot - scroll the "you might also like" row on the top app's page. every app there is another market to check - or find a startup idea on ideabrowser.com based on social sentiment validate it - use facundoolano/app-store-scraper to pull every review for the top 20 - give them to an agent: "cluster the 1 and 2 star reviews into the top 5 complaints and quote the users" - pick the app where the complaints are about the product, not the price - if people complain about the price but keep paying, that's demand. if they complain about bugs, that's your opening - search reddit for "alternative to [app]". every th…
