the most import skill in 2026 is still being able to tell your agents "wtf is this crap, no, not like this"
if you stop doing that, you're basically fucked, despite what some devfluencers would like you to think.

- Many small fixes

When Jensen said he loves Chinese models, I thought it was about DeepSeek and Kimi and GLM, etc……
NIMENDRA 𝕏 retweeted
It's wild that I can run GLM 5.3 (A 322 billion parameter model) and tell it to diagnose its own setup to improve throughput.
Massive wins for local AI this year.

It’s so funny that SQLite is genuinely faster than most traditional filesystems.
I wish there were more experimental operating systems using dbs for the backend. Not many people playing around in this space...

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…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

recommended reading. had the good fortune to talk with @tianyi a little while ago, and the DSH folks are one of the not so many teams doing innovative stuff in the harness space.
the below largely aligns with what we are gravitating towards at earendil as well. single, long lived entity, ad-hoc, freeform, possibly recursive delegation for actual tasks, cross-system event ingestion and triggers.
good stuff.

Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org/
- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

Moved the rendering of Mermaid over to Pele from @kepano.
Same... but different.
• ~450KiB ↓
• Faster
• Prettier (in most cases)
Also supports easy server rendering which will allow for more goodies. Stay tuned.
We've slightly improved diagrams in general (as well as added Swimlane charts) so check it out.
NIMENDRA 𝕏 retweeted
One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including @obsdmd 1.15 and @bot! Many improvements this week:
- Even faster rendering!
- Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc
- Gradients in sankey diagrams
- Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs
- Subscript, superscript and inline code in labels + text styles: kbd, underline, ins, cite and others
On a personal note, I am so grateful for all the love Pele received! I truly did not expect it.
My hope with Pele was to get a few bug reports ahead of the Obsidian release, so it's a wonderful feeling to see it adopted so quickly. I take this as a great honor and responsibility.
If you added Pele to your app or website, feel free to share it below 🌋
