this is f*cking insane, Claude Code agents turned a reading list into a lab you can run in your browser
Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) gave 12 agents 64 research papers and one assignment: build a browser lab where readers can rerun the experiments
pick a fluid simulation, change the conditions and watch how the result changes
switch methods while keeping the same scene. inspect the equations, code and measurements beside the animation
give each group a specific job:
→ readers extract equations, assumptions and experimental settings
→ builders turn the methods into runnable code
→ reviewers compare outputs against the papers
→ interface agents build the controls for exploring each experiment
a simulation can look convincing while producing the wrong answer
reviewers check whether it preserves mass, stays stable and matches the paper's measurements before accepting the implementation
every experiment has to show:
> the claim being tested
> the conditions used
> the difference from the reference result
> the details still needed to verify it
the lab covered 11 methods across 28 reference scenes. seven matched the selected reference results within the stated tolerances; four stayed marked for further review
give Claude Code your paper collection, then ask:
"Turn these papers into an interactive browser lab
1. Extract implementable methods, equations and experimental settings. Attach page references and flag missing details
2. Assign independent methods to separate agents. Use shared inputs and measurement tools so the results can be compared
3. Have reviewers check each implementation against the paper. Record discrepancies and keep unverified results clearly marked
4. Build controls for changing parameters, comparing methods and opening the code behind each result"
start with one paper and reproduce one reference experiment before adding more agents
include the inputs, dependencies and checks so the next reader can rerun it from a clean checkout

How many spinning circles does it take to draw North America? One circle misses the coast by 1,145 km. Ten: 352 km. Seventy: 64 km. 405 circles get within 13 km. That’s a Fourier series, drawn to Dvořák’s “New World” Largo 🎻

Anthropic went after the largest bacterium ever found, a single cell you can see with the naked eye, and read the machinery packed inside it.
The size was never the interesting part. The question was how one cell keeps millions of copies of its own factory working in sync.
> COUNT - every ribosome location in the cell mapped, rather than averaged across it
> WRAP - the membrane sacs holding DNA and ribosomes treated as separate rooms
> FLOW - what each room produces compared against what sits next to it
> SPLIT - rooms with different output flagged as independent units
> SCALE - the whole layout tested against how large a normal cell can grow
Bacteria are supposed to be simple bags. One compartment, everything mixed, nothing filed away.
This one files. Its DNA and its ribosomes sit inside membranes, which textbooks reserve for complex cells.
That single arrangement is what lifts the size ceiling. A cell without rooms hits a physical wall long before a centimetre.
The rooms are not identical either. Output varies from one to the next, meaning parts of the same cell are doing different jobs.
That edges close to what tissue does, inside something that is still one organism by every definition we use.
The line between simple and complex life was drawn before anyone had seen this, and it was drawn on compartments.
Every room, its output and the size math behind it sit in the breakdown below.
Mis vecinos de enfrente se mudaron hace unas semanas y dejaron abandonado a su gato, un precioso atigrado naranja.
Desde entonces, cada mañana lo encuentro sentado frente a la puerta de su antigua casa. Maúlla, camina de un lado a otro y, cuando se cansa, se tumba allí mismo, esperando a que alguien le abra.
Él todavía no sabe que sus dueños no van a volver.
Intenté llevármelo a casa varias veces, pero siempre regresa a aquella puerta. Le he preparado una pequeña cama con una caja de cartón y mantas viejas. Todas las mañanas le llevo comida y agua.
Ayer volvió a acercarse cuando me vio llegar. Comió, dejó que lo acariciara un rato y después regresó a sentarse frente a la misma puerta.
Me rompió el corazón.
Ojalá algún día deje de esperar a quienes lo abandonaron y entienda que, unos metros más allá, hay alguien deseando darle un hogar.
🇾🇪⚡- In the past hour, Presidential Leadership Council forces have launched a major offensive in the al-Bayda' Governorate, southern Yemen.
The fighting is no longer confined to a few directions, Yemen is once again engaged in a full-scale civil war, with clashes ongoing across almost all fronts.
