Here's Looking at Euclid by Helen Friel. Helen Friel is a paper engineer and she make beautiful things. Look at these paper sculptures of Oliver Byrne's version of Euclid's Elements. 😍

Meet Qwen3.6-27B, our latest dense, open-source model, packing flagship-level coding power! What's new: Outstanding agentic coding Strong reasoning across text & multimodal tasks Supports thinking & non-thinking modes Apache 2.0 Smaller model. Bigger results.

In 1968, when computers were still seen as cold calculating machines, Jasia Reichardt curated an extraordinary exhibition in London called Cybernetic Serendipity. Artists, engineers, poets and scientists came together to explore the creative possibilities at the intersection of art and technology.The result was something remarkably ahead of its time. If you're curious about the early days of the relationship between computers and art, the catalogue is essential reading. The catalogue from Cybernetic Serendipity is filled with ideas, experiments and reflections that feel surprisingly relevant in our current AI era. You can read the full PDF for free here: monoskop.org/images/2/25/Re… Highly recommended! Take your time with it. thanks @monalisa for the tip!

This 30-minute speech by the Head of Anthropic "Coding Agents" researcher will teach you more about vibe coding than 100 paid courses. Bookmark it & give it 30 minutes today. This video will change the way you use AI forever,

This 2-hour Stanford lecture breaks down how models like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built, clearer than what many people in top AI roles ever get exposed to. Save this and set aside two hours today. It might end up being the most valuable thing you learn all week.

Something I taught 14 yo: Most progress is a mix of steps forward and steps back, just with with more of the former. But you can get a run of steps back. So to judge progress accurately you need to use a big enough window, or it could look like you're failing.

@dr_orlovsky Well, I guess we will see in a few years ;) nehanarula.org/2026/04/03/bit…

@wizard23 And no, if you listen to physics - and not physics podcasts, it is not “just a scaling problem” in no way. It is a fundamental problem

This is quantum resistent #Bitcoin: QR Bitcoin. It was created using the zillion of open-claw AI agents running the latest balanced ternary quantization of the leaked Anthropic Claude AI! Just show it to each quantum computer - and your funds will be safe.

The hottest new programming language is markdown

@unclebobmartin 😂

What we are losing with AI is syntax -- and good riddance. The less our brains are occupied by semicolons and braces the better. There are much more important things for us to consider and manage.

@ThatSneakyCoder same 😃

If I ever do a master's in computer science, I'll do it in quantum computing. What will you do in?

@dr_orlovsky neither are undefined...we just don't know. And we already have quantum computers so it's just a scaling problem which will be solved in the next 10 years if you listen to physicists. I did not study physics so I trust my friends in academia about such topics.

I am pretty sure the probabilities are the same as with the black hole: undefined, with no scientific (statistical) way of estimation. No statistical way -= no computable probability. So nobody knows what will happen during our lifetime: black hole arrives, QC, both or neither. It is just beliefs, not knowledge. And I do not argue about beliefs

@dr_orlovsky 😂 no black hole will arrive within our lifetime...I agree. But we seem to have a totally different guess about when quantum computing will arrive. I'm pretty sure it will be here within 10 years...so yes I take precautions ;)

@wizard23 What will happen once a black hole will eat the Earth? The answer is “sorry, have more problems to care about”.

Agents are good at bash. Bash is not good for agents. We should cut our losses and restart now before it is too late.

i lived in my car for 478 days in sf. lol, while working at a startup.

I built this thing called Clicky. It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor. It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you. I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

Now that we are out of the water, hopefully this month will be a transition to the future. #generative #everyday #creativecoding #daily #code #nannou #821

Vertigo of Latent Space Montage marked the decisive invention of cinema: a mode of associating images capable of producing new relations. Yet this potential has remained largely unexplored, as cinema has most often reproduced narrative forms inherited from the novel. With artificial imagination, another regime of images emerges. Images are no longer simply arranged; they transform into one another within a continuous space. It then becomes possible to work not with sequences, but with transitions, passages, thresholds. Vertigo is approached here as a latent structure, a field of forms in circulation. The film becomes a set of persistent forms that reactivate, deform, and recombine in contact with other images. What is at stake here is less a reinterpretation of the film than an attempt to approach thought in action: its movement, its bifurcations, its reminiscences. In The Flow, this research unfolds on another scale. It seeks to follow the flow of consciousness, not as narrative, but as a continuous dynamic in which films, memories, and history intermingle and circulate. This work around Vertigo constitutes a variation: a way of exploring how a film can dissolve into this flow and become one of the sites from which thought begins to move.

Merkle trees are everywhere: - ZFS uses them to detect data corruption - Git uses them to verify repo integrity - Cursor uses them for codebase sync - Bitcoin uses them for transaction verification Talked through how they work on the latest database stream.
