Adder implementation with talking heads
@jamesonhodge
In about 7 days we’ll see the first fully simulated von neumann computer made from talking talking heads.

I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone.
I was wrong.
Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far:
- An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets
- A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells
- A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA
- A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one
Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met.
Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet.
Not anymore.
We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other.
Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset.
72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute.
What a time to be alive…

Elon Musk directly employs >160K people. At an average salary of >$80K/year. They can pay for food and housing entirely because of his innovation and entrepreneurship.
How many people have you employed, socialist?
We call this mimetic profit
René Girard on why the business world is more creative than the intellectual world:
“Intellectuals are often contemptuous of business and business people; but in business, you can at least distinguish the successful people from the unsuccessful people. If your business is losing money, you will immediately ask what your competitor is doing much better. And you'll start imitating your competitor. But if you are an intellectual, you will manage to rationalize things in such a way that you always want to do the opposite of your competitor. Therefore, you'll hide the fact of imitation better. A businessman who is responsible for a business will immediately imitate his competitor. That's why the world of business today is probably more creative in relative terms than the intellectual world. It is the last creative world because, in intellectual life, you don't dare to imitate others.”

turn the sound on 🔊 this might be the best thing i've created on accident
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.)
Day 3 of building in public 🛠️
Day job done. Now the evening coding session.
I'm Rich, a solo founder building lead ROI tracking for service businesses, so they can see which leads actually turn into paying jobs.
Looking to connect with:
- founders
- indie hackers
- engineers
- vibe coders
- designers

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.
Now you can really see everything
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

opus5.5 used this as an opportunity to drop a new single. of course it explains how it all works (2:22 is the best)
all sounds and video by opus 5.5 (nyquist). chimera synth from @jamesonhodge
