This indie dev is making a game where you can literally play as Ancient Egyptian wall art. - Switch between a 3D archaeologist and living 2D art - Survive puzzles that fight back - Progress by mastering both worlds It’s called Fresco. This mechanic is genius.

@hthieblot A pretzel

You just sold your company for $ 100M. What’s the first thing you buy?

@dhh @Dell @intel The year of the Linux desktop is here I can smell it

We now have a version of Omarchy where everything is working out-of-the-box with the new Dell XPS Panther Lake machine! Webcam, sound, display refresh. Huge thanks to @dell and @intel for this collaboration! Excited to get this released in time for first customer machines 🤘

@levelsio I'm with you on this one The real challenge is getting to that 600k

My strategy is and has been the same for the last 10+ years Don't spend, but save up everything, invest it, and try live off the 4% returns 4% is the "safe withdrawal rate", this is the percentage of your investment portfolio you can withdraw each year without running out of money over a given time horizon, as in your balance stays the same even after inflation I have many friends who spend most of their money on expensive purchases of things tha depreciate in value (and I too have a Tesla Y that does that 😂) but if you do that you'll never get to any state of FIRE (retire early) where you can live off of your investments Many people in FIRE have relatively humble goals: $600K means $2,000/mo from your investments to live off forever, multiply that and $6M means $20,000/mo forever There's obviously caveats: do investments like ETFs keep returning forever or not, nobody knows. Diversifying your investments into other things like commodities (gold), real estate, and some angel investing also can work! The point is to spend less, invest more and then spend from what you take out of your investments

@NousResearch tell hermes agent to change its favicon from the default Vercel one!

Dude what

16x the detail

What if we live in a system like this Wars are just injected events to see how we react and (?) recover

@Thebestfigen Sadly yeah Can confirm.

Is this the life of a modern worker?

now this is what I want to see AI being used for, not slop influencers tldr: a guy with ChatGPT and some cash is on his way to curing his dog's cancer

@hamen Reads like AI slop a bit, but good content

Imagine you're John Carmack you're 22 years old and you just wrote a 3D engine in assembly that runs at 35fps on a 486 Doom drops. Quake drops. Half the planet is playing your code. you're the reason GPUs exist. you're the reason your friend Jensen has a yacht today. then in 2009, you sell id Software. people call it betrayal. you call it "they made an offer I couldn't refuse." VR obsession. Oculus. Meta buys it for $2B. you're CTO. but Meta thinks you're a liability. your demos are "too intense." your emails are "too long." your focus on frame timing is "slowing us down." 2022. they push you out. not fired officially. just "restructured." the media writes "end of an era." some crypto bro calls you "washed up." silicon valley moves on. but you don't. you don't write a book. you don't start a podcast. you don't collect speaking fees. you go completely quiet. you take the money. you buy a warehouse in Texas. you hire 10 engineers. and you start coding. not games. not VR. AGI. two years. radio silence. no tweets. no conference talks. while everyone's debating ChatGPT, you're debugging CUDA kernels at 3AM, testing world models. then in 2025, Keen Technologies pivots hard. you're not "exploring" anymore. you're building it. here's what people get wrong: everyone calls it a comeback. a redemption arc. "revenge on Meta." it's none of that. you're a 54-year-old engineer who still codes 12 hours a day because you genuinely can't stop. most CTOs would have bought an island. most legends would have written memoirs. you just kept typing. the most dangerous person in any codebase is the one who goes quiet and never stops shipping commits. karma doesn't need to be real. but obsession is. welcome back, Carmack.

@SHL0MS @interplato It should work if it's convertible to js canvas or with some python to js magic

@interplato great idea will try

Definitely have to try this one out, seems awesome! As someone who wrote a primitive html5 canvas ascii renderer for my website, this is super impressive

@terminaldotshop *AI does my job* *all tests passed* PMs wondering why hardcoded tests were pushed to prod

@theo I know seniors and staff ppl who still write code in notepad

If you recognize this image, I hope you enjoy your upcoming retirement

Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam. The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks. Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!". The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally). 1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons 2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults 3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do. It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections. It fucks over everyone else. Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.

@NousResearch Awesome work, would love to work on smth like this one day Even though the research is above me rn

The last few days have been wild. Here's what we've shipped over the weekend. But first, we're giving away free Nous Portal subscriptions to the first 250 people who claim code AGENTHERMES01 at portal.nousresearch.com - and there's a lot of exciting new stuff to use it on: -> Pokemon Player 🎮 Hermes can now play Pokemon Red/FireRed autonomously via headless emulation. The new pokemon-agent package (github.com/NousResearch/p…) and built-in skill provides a REST API game server, and Hermes drives it through its native tools - reading game state from RAM, making strategic battle decisions, navigating the overworld, and saving progress to memory across sessions. It just plays Pokemon. From your terminal. No display server needed. -> Self-Evolution 🧬 We shipped hermes-agent-self-evolution (github.com/NousResearch/h…) and an optional skill - an evolutionary self-improvement system that uses DSPy + GEPA to optimize Hermes's own skills, prompts, and code. It maintains populations of solutions, applies LLM-driven mutations targeted at specific failure cases, and selects based on fitness. Inspired by Imbue's Darwinian Evolver research that achieved 95.1% on ARC-AGI-2. -> OBLITERATUS 🔓 The abliteration skill got a major update. Hermes can now uncensor any open-weight LLM (Llama, Qwen, Mistral, etc.) by surgically removing refusal directions from model weights - 9 CLI methods, 116 model presets, tournament evaluation. Just say "abliterate this model" and it handles the rest. -> Signal, iMessage + 7-Platform Gateway 📱 Hermes now runs on iMessage and Signal alongside Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, and CLI. Full feature parity: voice messages, image handling, DM pairing. Your agent is reachable everywhere. -> Automatic Provider Failover 🔄 When your primary model goes down (rate limits, outages), Hermes now automatically switches to a configured fallback model. Supports all providers including Codex OAuth and Nous Portal. One line of config, zero downtime. -> Secret Redaction Everywhere 🔒 All tool outputs now redact API keys, tokens, and passwords before they reach the LLM. 22+ patterns covering AWS, Stripe, HuggingFace, GitHub, SSH private keys, database connection strings, and more. Your secrets never leak into context.

We all knew this was coming… but today I heard about it actually happening. A seed stage company backed by a well known VC openly admitted (in a board deck) that their strategy is to get access to a large incumbent’s software from a customer, clone the entire thing using Claude Code, and offer it at 90% less. Not “build something better.” Just copy it and offer it for less. The VC endorsed this as the GTM strategy. And even wrote back in writing that it was a good idea. Using a customer’s licensed access to reverse engineer a product and clone it is ethically bankrupt. I don’t know how else to put it. It likely violates terms of service. It may violate trade secret law as well (but I’m certainly not a lawyer). And a reputable VC putting this in writing in a board deck is genuinely insane. But it’s going to happen anyway. Everywhere… all the time. I don’t know where this ends, but we all knew this was coming and now it’s here.

Prompt injection is the new sql injection nowadays. Like having an employee that you can't fully trust. What's the best way to avoid this? Any tips?
