People using non-IDE text editors were once considered elite programmers, but now if you don't delegate everything to an agentic IDE, you are considered the idiot. 🤷♀️
@garrytan This overfits to B2B startups. Consumer startups solve day to day problems that we all experience without even noticing. It's rarely a unique or earned insight, but often just a strong vision of the future and courage.
I trained an LLM from scratch on pre-1900 text to see if it could come up with quantum mechanics and relativity.
While the model is too small to do meaningful reasoning, it has glimpses of intuition.
When given observations from past landmark experiments, the model can declare that “light is made up of definite quantities of energy” and even suggest that gravity and acceleration are locally equivalent.
I’m releasing the dataset + models and leave this as an open problem to the research community.
I also include what this project has taught me about intelligence in a mini essay linked below.

THIS is the wildest open-source project I’ve seen this month.
We were all hyped about @karpathy's autoresearch project automating the experiment loop a few weeks ago.
(ICYMI → https://t.co/ieuH8c0Y4x)
But a bunch of folks just took it ten steps further and automated the entire scientific method end-to-end.
It's called AutoResearchClaw, and it's fully open-source.
You pass it a single CLI command with a raw idea, and it completely takes over 🤯
The 23-stage loop they designed is insane:
✦ First, it handles the literature review.
- It searches arXiv and Semantic Scholar for real papers
- Cross-references them against DataCite and CrossRef.
- No fake papers make it through.
✦ Second, it runs the sandbox.
- It generates the code from scratch.
- If the code breaks, it self-heals.
- You don't have to step in.
✦ Finally, it writes the paper.
- It structures 5,000+ words into Introduction, Related Work, Method, and Experiments.
- Formats the math, generates the comparison charts,
- Then wraps the whole thing in official ICML or ICLR LaTeX templates.
You can set it to pause for human approval, or you can just pass the --auto-approve flag and walk away.
What it spits out at the end:
→ Full academic paper draft
→ Conference-grade .tex files
→ Verified, hallucination-free citations
→ All experiment scripts and sandbox results
This is what autonomous AI agents actually look like in 2026.

This is a shameful moment in Western history, leaders standing like frightened cowards before the Islamist jihadist rats ruling Iran. Starmer in Britain. The German Chancellor. They want the oil. The gas. The markets. But when it comes to defending it? Silence. Cowardice. Excuses. At the same time they rush to talk with the Islamic regime in Iran.
So let’s be clear: Zero friendship. Zero loyalty. Zero respect for their own interests or for the civilization they claim to defend. Do not speak to us again about friendship. Do not lecture the world about freedom.
We watched you stand against your closest ally, America, while hoping the Islamist regime in Iran wins this confrontation.
Dr Somayeh (Somi) Khani, , an Iranian psychologist now living in America who has gained public attention for her insights into Iranian social issues and organizational development.
Imagine being Iranian and this once in a lifetime opportunity comes to rise up and take back your freedom. Then you realize that the nations of Europe and the rest of the world don't care. In fact, to keep gas prices low, they are willing to leave you oppressed. That your only hope lies with the people liberating you, who you've been told are worst enemies of your people.
We live in remarkable times...
Hey folks outside Iran, lemme break down what's really going down here because it's brutal and most people don't get the full picture. The internet's been totally blacked out for over two months now since the January crackdown – no social media, no news sites, nothing. If you even try sneaking online with something like limited Starlink access, the regime hunts you down like a criminal, and protesting online? That's straight-up treason, punishable by arrest or worse.
Meanwhile, Iranians abroad – the diaspora – are getting hammered with threats: speak out, and we'll seize your family assets back home or strip your citizenship. It's all under the guise of "wartime security," where if you're not blindly loyal to the regime, you're labeled an enemy agent, probably backed by Israel or the West in their propaganda.
But here's the kicker: regime loyalists? They get these special "white SIM cards" that give them stable, unfiltered internet access. No blackouts for them. And get this – they're paid by the government to flood online spaces with pro-regime narratives, twisting stories to make the opposition look like terrorists. This isn't some wild conspiracy; they've bragged about it on state TV, and leaked docs from groups like Amnesty International back it up, showing how they control the info flow while silencing everyone else.
This is how a regime clings to power amid economic collapse and mass protests that killed tens of thousands. It's not just oppression; it's a calculated info war. If you're seeing regime bots online, that's why. Wake up, world – Iran's people need real support, not silence. #blackoutinIran
This is the clearest example of a dictatorship that we will ever see in our time: “I have shut off the internet for 90 million people because I am the only voice of Iran.”
Former US President @BarackObama has admitted that he made "a mistake" by not supporting the Iranian people's 2009 Green Movement against the Islamic Republic. "In a retrospect, I think that was a mistake. Every time we see a glimmer of hope, we have to express solidarity."
