I'm a dev with experience in Python, Java, HTML, CSS, and C. I love doing TA and incorporating machine learning into my programs.
After having seen Obsession, it got me wondering why we don't have GenieBench. A benchmark where an AI receives a non-ambiguous intent and has to craft the perfect wish for it that cannot be twisted. If it can be twisted by another AI, it fails.
@thsottiaux So far I love how much better it is at instruction following. It's also much more determined to actually accomplish the task and doesn't leave you hanging with a half-completed thing most of the time. Seems to be an improvement overall.
There's been times when I couldn't stop:
> eating
> scrolling
> working
> watching
> wherever
It feels awful. A miserable existence.
Our society is a predator prey relationship. Companies make money and become rich when they convince us to do things that we can't stop.
This is a guide to fight back.
My resting heart rate is my Sovereignty Index.
It measures whether I am a slave or sovereign relative to the powers around me world. Whether I’m ruled by my impulses or the ruler over them.
This past month, my RHR has averaged 41 bpm. It’s my best ever 30 day average.
It’s less about the absolute number and more about what it represents. A low RHR is a clinical proxy for high vagal tone which is the metric of parasympathetic dominance and physiological self regulation. It’s taken me years to master the daily habits that enable this.
A low resting heart rate before sleep is magic:
> better sleep
> stronger recovery
> improved will power
> clear headedness
> happier life
I speak about RHR because it’s the single number that captures modern society. Everything “normal” today increases a person’s heart rate before sleep. It’s slavery camouflaged as ambition, relaxing, and “living life”.
24/7 work, eating before bed, scrolling, binge watching, vaping, late night debauchery, red eye flights…People mistakenly confuse these things as being admirable and a rite of passage.
Don’t be fooled by this. This is a cultural mistake that will be corrected in time. The coming years will look back and see the foolishness of it.
Most of you reading this are in a state of chronic sympathetic overdrive, burnout, anxiety and depression. That's the state of society today. 88% of Americans are metabolically unwell.
Sometimes though, that's because you have a new born, are caring for an aging parent, are fighting a health problem, or are in some other challenging situation. I remember feeling helpless with three children under 6. For those of you in a tough spot, I feel you.
For those of you who have the freedom to make decisions, this is for you. And for those of you in the tough spots, maybe these things can be helpful for you too.
Master these habits and everything in your life will be better:
> final food four hours before bed
> screens off 60 min before bed
> same bedtime every night
> a wind down routine: reading, walking, hobby
> final caffeine by noon
> red and amber lights in pm, no blues
It's the end of the day that get's most people. It's when your will power is lowest and stress is the highest. We reach for things that soothe but they end up causing us self harm.
The habits outlined above are designed to be a check against the version of you that is stressed out and overwhelmed, and not in the best state of mind to make good decisions. Deciding on what you will do before that version of you take charge may help you wrestle the upper hand to start living the life you want.
The world wants me to die.
My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days.
Many were saddened.
However, joy dominated the commentary.
People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves.
But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern:
“he deserved it.”
I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture.
This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.
Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority.
This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution.
People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation.
For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe.
I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.
This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years.
Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged.
What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable.
What if I didn’t deserve it?
And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?
Open source world models have a fantastic new player!
Interactive world models have had the same flaw for a while now. They look great for a few seconds, then the world quietly falls apart. Textures smear, geometry warps, drift wins.
Robbyant's new LingBot-World 2.0 is the first one I've seen really push past that. It's a causal world model you explore in real time at 720p and 60fps, stress-tested with a single unbroken 60-minute session across 20 scenes with no visible decay. Staying coherent for that long is the actual hard problem, and that's the result here.
The part that got me is the agent loop on top. A VLM proposes events while you play and a director agent keeps seeding new things to do, so the world keeps unfolding instead of sitting still. Movement, combat, weather on demand, even multiplayer in one shared world.
And Robbyant, Ant Group's embodied-AI company, open-sourced the model weights and code. A 14B model is released, and the paper also describes a 1.3B version designed for single consumer-GPU deployment, with weights and code available. There's a live demo, hosted by their launch partner Reactor, you can just play.

Innovation with Heart: A Backpack That Becomes a Bed!
A German startup has created a backpack that unfolds into a warm, insulated bed—with solar-powered lights and phone charging. ⚡
It’s not a full home, but it gives people experiencing homelessness a safe, warm space, a little privacy, and a chance to recharge literally and figuratively.
Small ideas, big impact. Imagine handing this to someone who has been told “no” all day—the relief, the warmth, the hope it’s priceless.
Anthropic engineer:
"Over 90% of Anthropic engineers use a self-improving agentic loop for coding.
The key is to close the loop: give the agent a way to verify and improve its own work"
In this 12-minute talk, an Anthropic engineer explains how to build an agent that continuously improves itself.
Claude + routines + loops + CLAUDE.md - that's the foundation.

Introducing InfiniteDiffusion, my independent paper accepted to #SIGGRAPH2026!
I have one RTX 3090 Ti. No funding, advisors, or team. By day I'm a new grad SWE at Walmart.
The paper has two main contributions:
- InfiniteDiffusion: a new approach to infinite generation with diffusion models.
- Terrain Diffusion: the world’s first learned procedural terrain generator.
Here’s why this matters, and how they are connected. 🧵
🚨 BREAKING: U.S. government will decide who gets access to GPT-5.6
OpenAI will release GPT-5.6 only in a limited preview to a small group of partners.
Sam Altman told staff the government would be "approving access customer by customer."
Commerce Sec Lutnick personally called Altman warning: don't launch without approvals from other agencies.
A de facto licensing regime.
ITS HAPPENING
@nick_rackley@theo Don't try to do it with the same agent. Use git diffs and have multiple types of reviewers such as atomistic and holistic. Different focuses entirely. Request poka yoke or shift left mentality when working with holistic reviews
SOMEONE VIBE CODED A POKEDEX FOR REAL LIFE WITH CLAUDE CODE
point your phone at any animal, it identifies it on the spot and adds it to your personal index.
you walk around irl catching real creatures and filling out your dex like its gen 1 all over again
its called gotcha. every animal you spot gets logged with its own entry, so over time you build a living collection of everything youve actually encountered
it has:
> geo based rarity, a rabbit is common on a farm but legendary in a city
> profiles so you can show off your collection
> achievements for catching rare species
> battles or trading between players
its basically pokemon go all over again but with real animals

@thsottiaux when is the app coming to linux? Would love that browser use, chrome, or anything from the desktop. Seems to be better than playwright in the CLI
