Just shipped DurusClipBot.

A Telegram bot that translates Arabic Islamic clips into English in a way that actually preserves meaning.

Built for:
• clip farmers
• channel managers
• talibul ilm
• Muslims trying to understand Arabic lectures before mastering the language

I explored a further possibility with local models: Qwen3.6 35B A3B + NVIDIA LocateAnything-3B as a local Computer Use agent (proof of concept).

In the demo, I asked it to switch my Mac to light mode. It did. Then back to dark. Did that too — finding the right toggle in System Settings, clicking it, and verifying the change itself.

It's fully screenshot-based, so no Accessibility API needed. If it's on screen, the agent can see it and act on it. This runs entirely on your own hardware — private, local, built from two small open models.

1. (System design) - The Interaction Models see your screen and collaborates with you live. Here we're building a scalable system architecture together — no copy-pasting, no switching tabs, just thinking out loud and drawing on the screen together.

Long-overdue update: I joined @ThinkyMachines! Excited to share a preview of what we've been building around real-time Human AI Collaboration https://t.co/N7GuS6zGaa. Demos of our Interaction Models in thread 🧵👇

The most important component of writing clearly is simply to have high standards for clarity. Then if you write something unclear, you notice, and ask: what did I mean to say? You can just keep doing this over and over. And if you have high standards for clarity, you will.

can someone do a montage of these clowns and their UN props. it's a constant kindergarten show-and-tell show with them.

Almost everyone killed by these drones were Israeli soldiers invading Lebanon to commit ethnic cleansing

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Their absence of self-awareness is a serious pathology. They just killed 3k civilians (really, civilians) and are complaining that their invading soldiers are facing some risks WHILE INVADING.

The next evolution of Hermes Agent is here!

Introducing Hermes Desktop: everything you love about Hermes, now native on your machine.

First demoed in Jensen's GTC keynote, it's now in public preview.

[Teknium 🪽 @Teknium]

It's finally here. The official Hermes Desktop app.

Available on all platforms.

We pre-train LLMs on the whole of the internet. You might think this explains how they learn so many emergent capabilities: the knowledge is implicit in the training data.

But in fact models can do things that were never demonstrated anywhere in training!

@svlevine argues that the real source of emergent capabilities is compositionality:

They intend to force us to support a small country who commits genocide to make land grabs. They also give this as Israel is fighting Islam, they are also killing Christian’s and innocent women and kids. The media is an absolute disgrace against humanity running cover for the satanic cults around the world.

Non executable memory blocks code execution from data pages.

In a classic stack buffer overflow, the attacker writes shellcode into the stack buffer, overwrites the saved return address, and redirects execution to that shellcode when the function returns.

NX or DEP changes the page permissions. Stack and heap pages can be readable/writable, but not executable. So the overflow can still corrupt memory and control the return address, but injected shellcode on the stack will fault instead of running.

This forced attackers away from direct code injection and toward code-reuse attacks like ROP, where execution is redirected through existing executable code. That is why NX is usually combined with ASLR, stack canaries, and shadow stacks.

char (*(*x[3])(void))[5];

If reading that took you more than a few seconds, you want the right-left rule from Peter van der Linden's Expert C Programming.

Start at the name, look right, then left. When parentheses block you, pop out and keep going.

x
right: [3] → array of 3
left: * → pointers to
right: (void) → functions (no args) returning
left: * → pointers to
right: [5] → arrays of 5
left: char → char

So:

x is an array of 3 pointers to functions returning pointers to arrays of 5 char.

C declarations are weird. This book teaches you how to read them.

The best thing you can do as an engineer is learn C and C++ deeply.

once you see memory, CPUs, caches, threads, and I/O without layers of abstraction hiding them, you start appreciating how much of modern computing is actually systems programming.

even a bit of assembly, hehe :)

in 1987 a professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam couldn't teach Unix because AT&T owned the source code

so he wrote his own Unix-like OS from scratch and printed the entire source code in his textbook

a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds used it to write Linux

it is called MINIX

the textbook is "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by Andrew Tanenbaum

Found a way to save everyone 14% on input tokens on average during read file operations in Hermes Agent!

This is now on main. `hermes update` to access now.

In a footnote to Capital, Marx brought up a testimony of a French worker. In France, he assumed he could do just one specific type of job (= printing). In California, he discovered that he in fact can do anything & all the constraints he faced in Europe were purely artificial
