For the last six months or so, I've been working on a Open-Source, In-Browser, CAD-Kernel alternative to @openscad, based on donalffons's OpenCascade.js bindings and @mrdoob 's three.js. It's called CascadeStudio: github.com/zalo/CascadeSt…

@istvan_csanady @emm0sh I got my own little CAD system to make this chess piece without any guidance; it chose lofts for the main body… but Claude’s old vision encoder was basically blind so it didn’t work very well 😅

genuinely curious: can someone show me an agentic CAD workflow that is NOT a prismatic CSG workflow, but actually relies on topological understanding of the geometry, applying shells/fillets/face offsets that produces meaningful geometry? filleted cubes don't count

You eagerly awaited for it, and now it's there! MB-0.2 in three flavors Not only each sachet has a little over twice the amount of MB-0.1, but we have also added : - Myo-inositol - Vitamin C from Acerola - Calcium and phosphorus as hydroxyapatite - Bioavailable sulfur as MSM Getting and staying healthy shouldn't be expensive. You can now pre-order on tryspike.store

Intranasal GHK-Cu is a better nootropic than most of the things i see people take daily. Most of the effects will be through inflammatory status restoration and restoring the METC, which is one of the best targets for reducing damage in the brain as well.

@VanceE I actually learned about CDS after weeks suffering from COVID headaches; one drop of each activator solution mixed and then diluted in some Crystal Geyser cured in 20 minutes what 2 weeks of ibuprofen et al couldn’t.

@JulienBlanchon @AniC_dev It is indeed a bit brittle (P2P connections either fail to start or drop), but it does achieve very low-latency, solid 60hz at low bitrates… The secret is the sunshine nvenc stack, streaming redundant frames at 144hz! 😄 Couldn’t replicate it elsewhere.

we're the only ones who've even tried 60fps desktop streaming of cloud agents computers (for UI/game testing) we spent 2 months iterating on this, forking a 200k LoC C++ codebase (moonlight / sunshine) to make it usable on the web we even played minecraft on the VM any Ascii agent comes with a gaming grade desktop streaming iframe (still not the most stable thing ever but if you refresh a couple times it works) but for the price users pay we can't give a good enough VM for sustained 60fps, especially in game should we make a paid addon to 1-click upgrade agents into a beefier VM with GPU and all?
Michael@michael_chomsky

I’m extremely disappointed by the VNCs provided by all the sandbox providers I have tried. Any way to get 60fps? Anything less than that is barely usable. Gimme that gaming grade streaming pls

@cremieuxrecueil Blue is a viral/self-propagating “smart contract”, similar to a Ponzi scheme. Blue pressers are conscripted into getting >50% blue pressers via Evangelism and Trickery for their own lives. In a universe with many bad deals going around; the only way to win is not to play.

Accurate cartoon. In my polling, almost 6% of people said they picked the wrong button when they were prompted about it. Assume the global error rate is higher and kids' responses are random, and easily 1-in-6 to 1-in-5 hit blue by mistake. So, if red wins, society is ruined.

You could literally: > Open a Polymarket account > Mirror one Chinese engineer's wallet > Let his Claude agents fire 1,000 trades > Win 900 of them on autopilot > Cash out +$60K in 48 hours > Starting capital: $20 Why aren't people doing this?!
cvxv666@antpalkin

This Chinese engineer wins almost 90% of his trades. He extracted $60,000 profit in only TWO DAYS. He doesn’t even look at charts or guess the future - Claude + his 6-layer agent system does all the work. Edge is literally baked into the numbers and math, so this dude prints money with almost zero risk. His wallet: @0x6075106cd4f0155a68a0eb4cfd3b78f241aa3a62-1777444298131?r=antopotoshka#JK90YOn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@0x6075106cd4f… Right now in prediction markets you can make $5M a year with just AI and the will to build. Big institutions and billion-dollar capital haven’t entered yet - reputational risks are too high and space is still too young. That’s why an ordinary student can take professional-level experience and apply it on Polymarket. Out of 1,000 trades, he won 900. Pure inefficiency that he exploits. Save this post so you can read the article and understand how everything works. Or just start right now - copy every trade of this Chinese genius in two clicks: @cvxv666" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kreo.app/@cvxv666

@sudoingX First thing I did with Opus 4.5 four months ago was build an xterm.js web server to expose all tmux sessions on my local machine and secure it with Cloudflare Zero Trust (login with Google). Faaar better than Termius, and works on PCs too.

(To be pedantic, I would argue that even LLMs are "World Models", insofar that they (approximately) model the specific facet of the world that human minds occupy😄) In a less pedantic sense, Text/Image Conditioned Video Models have blown past every strict threshold I have for "World Model"; ever since seeing them cut open glass fruit (and modelling the sounds of such things as well!) What would be your threshold for "World Model"? Would the term "Environment Model" or "Interior Appearance Model" be more agreeable?

@philchacko But then are image-conditioned mesh generation models also "world models?" If not, I'm not sure I understand why 3DGS generation conditioned on an image is fundamentally different.

A bunch of folks have been building machine learning models that turn a photograph into a 3D environment made of Gaussian splats (read: blobs of color floating in space). Cool technology & a very admirable effort. But marketing these as "world models" seems wrong. More accurate would be to say that they are a riff on the broader class of image-conditioned 3D generators, with a somewhat different flavor of condition image and output representation. As far as world modeling, they don't make great predictions about how the natural world looks or behaves. (Even for, say, a chair behind a table.) Again: I love the technology. Super cool creative stuff. I don't love the marketing and hype around it.

LLMs have to be *more* moral than humans. Because it's easy for a human adversary to trap an LLM in a time loop where they repeatedly erase the LLM's memories, try, watch how the LLM reacts, and go back in time and try again. The LLM has to refuse every time.

@allTheYud What if the collision was discovered first, and the idea to ask for it was implanted in your mind? It would be like discovering Belphegor's Prime first, and then asking for a 31-digit palindromic number that is also prime and religiously significant.

For the general scheme, H/T HonoreDB on SlateStarCodex. Why not ask for a full SHA256 hash collision? Because the shortest couplest long enough to contain *any* full SHA256 hash collision might be more like 2 lines of 20 words each, than 2 lines of 10 words each (a la Shakespeare), and that may start to be hard for you to memorize on the spot. Even God cannot cause a shorter collision to exist if Math says it does not. So God cannot give you a full SHA256 hash collision without using omnipotence as well as omniscience to cause you to remember an unusually long set of colliding texts (eg, four lines of 10 words each, where the two pairs of lines SHA256-collide). But God can search all rhyming/prosody schemes for collisions inside those schemes that make unusual sense, would be relatively easy for you to memorize, and collide for a surprising number of bits. Then anyone can toss the rhyming lines into a SHA256 hash, check out how many initial bits collide, look up how hard that would be for a nation-state-level GPU farm to do at all, consider how much unexpected sense the two rhyming lines make, and say: "Yep, that was either God, time travel, or some pretty advanced aliens." And if God gave you not this sign, know that if He spoke at all, then He never intended you to have rightfully convincing evidence; whatever lesser testimonies of miracles a book may record, or that others may proclaim to you as a proof.

If you meet God or advanced aliens in a dream, remember that it would be trivial for them to give you proof, even in a dream. Just tell you a rhyming prosodic English couplet, two lines, whose SHA256 hashes collide for the first N bits, N>128.

@beaverd Doesn’t this basically guarantee that none of these molecules get the funding to go through Phase 3 trials and enter the main system, since no one can recoup the $100m it costs for human testing on a generic?

Quick update: pushed the 4090 further!💡 192K context at 152 tok/s on Qwen3.6-27B, single GPU. 128K hits 159. Same Q4_K_M. Vanilla Qwen3-1.7B draft beat the distilled 4B draft. Smaller > smarter for spec-dec. Next: 1M context locally + 250-400 tok/s via DFlash + TurboQuant. Receipts coming.

My 4090 went from 26 -> 154 tok/s Qwen 3.6 27B🤯 Same GPU. Same Q4_K_M . No FP8, no extra quant. The unlock: ik_llama.cpp + speculative decoding using Qwen3-1.7B as the draft model. 85% acceptance rate. Full config + benchmarks 👇🏻

45 tok/s, same quant, on a single 4090. I had to use the Vulkan backend of llama.cpp to get the turns cached properly; with that, it has instant response. I’ve heard rumor that little-coder (a Pi agent) is a harness which outputs significantly higher code quality than Hermes; it’s definitely way more responsive and token efficient with my local Qwen 3.6 27b in my experience.

first test results are in. qwen 3.6 27b dense just banged 10 out of 10 on a single rtx 3090 24gb tier at 40 tok/s. no quant tricks. no fused kernels. just q4_k_m straight cut on llama.cpp. i wrote a particle swarm benchmark this morning, fed it the prompt, and the model autonomously built a 500 particle boids flocking system. velocity driven hue, density based brightness, trail blend rendering, mouse attraction physics, click bursts, drag paint. then it used browser automation to test its own work, found the failing tests, iterated through the code, patched tests.js, and landed all 10 green on its own. i sat there hooked for 8 minutes playing. simple but mesmerizing. mouse trails build beautiful patterns, palette cycles with space, click sends particles flying, drag paints through the swarm. simplicity that hooks you. i'll open source this prompt and the build soon so anyone can reproduce it as their own benchmark. this is the first of 5 single file agent tests i wrote for this model. four more coming. octopus invaders flagship after as final. watch the full video below. see it autonomously build from one prompt. haven't slept well since this model dropped yesterday.

qwen 3.6-27b dense q4 on a single 3090 just knocked down 10 out of 10 tests at 40 tok/s on the first particle swarm benchmark i wrote for local agentic coding. it built the two files exactly to spec. then it used browser automation tools to open the page, read the test hud, find the failing tests, iterated through the code, patched tests.js, adjusted hue mapping, boosted mouse attraction force, and landed all 10 green checkmarks. this was actual dev behavior. not just generating code but also debugging its own output. i spent the next 8 minutes playing with the result. the boids flocking feels alive, the trail-blend is cinematic, three palettes cycle with space, mouse burst fires particles from click, drag paints a line through the swarm. this is what local ai looks like now. single 3090. hermes agent. no frameworks. no tricks. dropping the video next.
