Watch Medal of Honor recipient @FlorentGroberg address a Vets hackathon earlier this year, plus sign-up to join a team of forward-thinking veterans and service members in our November 2021 Vets hackathon.

Fire another highly decorated general—this one with six Bronze Stars who oversees major military operational planning.
Prepare to restart a war with no clear objective or strategy.
Rinse. Repeat.
Scoop from @nancyayoussef: Hegseth fires yet another general:

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…

These 14 neurons control territorial claims
Played a bit with @_lyraaaa_'s Qwen dataset and found a set of neurons that control sovereignty claims for regions you'd recognize.
Stimulate the neuron and Greenland, or Panama, or Taiwan, or Ukraine, or Vietnam switches hands to another sovereign.
Stimulate some of these neurons too much, and a single country ends up taking over the world.
Interactive map you can play with here:

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Most impressive thing I’ve ever seen.
I would like to invest my entire net worth in Cognition now

What a wild project juxtaposed against the AI timeline.
I set out to hand-write an AI scripting language almost two years ago. I'd never written a language before, and it felt like the kind of thing every programmer should do at some point.
It built in a lot of idea that I really like:
- LLM type coercion
- Liquid string templates everywhere
- Script-style chat stdio
- Fluid handoff between agents, tools, and classic code
- Caching for generative operations
As a human coder, I enjoy coding in it the point where I couldn't imagine writing the Robot Book Club pipelines any other way. (Everything on robotbookclub.com was created with it)
...But of course half way through this project, AI replaced coding and I started having to ask myself who the user of this language was: me or an LLM.
So I vibe coded on it for a few months, catching a million errors in my own code, and adding features for LLM coders as well:
- Required named arguments
- An error system that assists AI debugging
- Auto-sandboxes that preserve traces of every run
I don't really expect this language to be of much utility for others, other than as a personal toy, but I believe in never letting a project go unpublished, so here it is: kaya-lang.org/
The runtime compiles to WebASM and you can play around with examples in the browser. The interesting ones require an API key for OpenAI.

I really love this explanation and demo.
How unified memory on Windows with the RTX Spark looks and feels.
How to share inference across machines with NVIDIA PAIR.
How to go completely in airplane ode with local models!

Wow. Suddenly Meta is in second place.
Kudos to @finkd and @alexandr_wang, believers from the beginning. Curious once pricing lands--no API pricing yet, only available within Muse Code.

What a shit bird. I served along side some excellent Muslims in combat.
Two things can be true at once.
Also America is a melting pot and not all Muslims are bad they have been here for a long time.

The team blindsided me with a polygraph test, it was crazy. But it's important to me that Hark does this right.
Your data is yours.

Anyone know how to quick search a DD214? We have a potential hire at my job, and what he has purported as his service has been called into question but we can't sit on the application for a National Archives request to come back. Just need to verify he was in and got an honorable

I want to review your portfolio.
This Thursday at 1PM Pacific, @ridd_design and I are going to review a few web portfolios from designers.
I'm asking the community for two things:
1. For people involved in hiring decisions: We want to showcase your tips in a pre-recorded Loom video. Please DM me.
2. For people wanting their portfolio reviewed, comment below. I'll be following up with you in a DM with instructions.
If you put your portfolio link in the comments below, it will not count as a suggestion.
Stay tuned!

Had opus 5.5 make a video predicting the next 50 years
I'm optimistic that the end will be beautiful, but the transition will be a little rough

Holy crap.
Rick and Morty just explained Jev AI to me better than any tech demo could.

In high school, Michio Kaku built a particle accelerator in his garage. It blew every circuit breaker in the house.
Then I asked what he wrapped the wire around.

Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼
With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars.
To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials.
The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey.
This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier.
It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️
