No way man!
Side projects aren’t interesting because they were hard. They’re interesting because they’re like seeing into a person’s day dreams.
Don’t ever be embarrassed!

A lot of people don't realize that Windows has a built-in feature called Windows "Sandbox" that boots up a brand new virtual Windows machine in seconds. So I made an MCP server so you can test your apps inside a throwaway machine in seconds. github.com/shanselman/sandbo…

My chapter with Skydance and Paramount came to an end today with layoffs. I’m super grateful for the opportunities I was given the past almost 4.5 years. A shipped title, 2 promotions, an incredible team, and an unbelievable amount of creativity and collaboration. What a ride!

I spent 20,000 dollars in API credits having different AI models play each other at Blood on the Clocktower (a Mafia or Werewolf type social deception game).
The results were fascinating. Models have gotten much better over the course of this year at creative on-the-spot scheming and bluffing, and also at reasoning as a team to break apart these underground conspiracies.
I go through some of the most standout games these AIs played in this video. The new models are getting pretty good. If my friends pulled off some of these moves while we were playing, I’d give them a fist bump.
Fwiw, OpenAI’s newer models are much better than Anthropic’s at this game.
You can see the full benchmark at the website, and I’ve also made it so that you and your friends can play again the AIs: clocktowerbench.com

bro is 16, building a defense company and already in YC
next palmer luckey or am i tripping
Launching @polemos_inc (YC F26) today.
Precision strike was built for a different era: expensive, slow to produce and fielded in small numbers. Polemos is building it for the war that’s actually coming, with networked launch systems that strike in mass and AI guidance carrying every round through the terminal phase. It’s all designed to be mass-produced from day one, to protect us from the warfare of tomorrow.
Precision, at scale.
Shoutout to @zeroonecreative for the video

Why are we still dragging 100-pound trash bins through freezing rain, snow and 6 AM dark like it's the 19th century?
Meet Curbie, an autonomous robot built by Revere Robotics that is finally killing off this miserable weekly chore. It automatically hauls your waste bin to the curb on collection day and brings it right back, completely unsupervised.
The genius is that it works with what you already have. Instead of forcing you to buy expensive proprietary gear, it couples directly onto the existing steel axle of your current municipal bin.
Packed with high-torque brushless motors and heavy-duty winter autonomy, it is specifically engineered to muscle heavy loads through deep snowdrifts and icy public sidewalks.

Fire another highly decorated general—this one with six Bronze Stars who oversees major military operational planning.
Prepare to restart a war with no clear objective or strategy.
Rinse. Repeat.
Scoop from @nancyayoussef: Hegseth fires yet another general:

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…

These 14 neurons control territorial claims
Played a bit with @_lyraaaa_'s Qwen dataset and found a set of neurons that control sovereignty claims for regions you'd recognize.
Stimulate the neuron and Greenland, or Panama, or Taiwan, or Ukraine, or Vietnam switches hands to another sovereign.
Stimulate some of these neurons too much, and a single country ends up taking over the world.

Most impressive thing I’ve ever seen.
I would like to invest my entire net worth in Cognition now

What a wild project juxtaposed against the AI timeline.
I set out to hand-write an AI scripting language almost two years ago. I'd never written a language before, and it felt like the kind of thing every programmer should do at some point.
It built in a lot of idea that I really like:
- LLM type coercion
- Liquid string templates everywhere
- Script-style chat stdio
- Fluid handoff between agents, tools, and classic code
- Caching for generative operations
As a human coder, I enjoy coding in it the point where I couldn't imagine writing the Robot Book Club pipelines any other way. (Everything on robotbookclub.com was created with it)
...But of course half way through this project, AI replaced coding and I started having to ask myself who the user of this language was: me or an LLM.
So I vibe coded on it for a few months, catching a million errors in my own code, and adding features for LLM coders as well:
- Required named arguments
- An error system that assists AI debugging
- Auto-sandboxes that preserve traces of every run
I don't really expect this language to be of much utility for others, other than as a personal toy, but I believe in never letting a project go unpublished, so here it is: kaya-lang.org/
The runtime compiles to WebASM and you can play around with examples in the browser. The interesting ones require an API key for OpenAI.

I really love this explanation and demo.
How unified memory on Windows with the RTX Spark looks and feels.
How to share inference across machines with NVIDIA PAIR.
How to go completely in airplane ode with local models!
