Ghost Devoid

@thekitze finally, AGI 🔥

chatgpt 5.4 vs gemma 4 😬

@Rishikesh04code cool, gl for the project!

@ghostdevoid currently integrity is handled entirely through backend controls. no browser lockdown or proctoring yet. tab switching prevention and proctoring is on the roadmap for future phases..

got my first client. a private institute needed a full test platform built from scratch. I said yes. Backend MVP is done. Frontend starts now. Documenting everything publicly Here's the full architecture 👇

@Rishikesh04code Do you enforce any browser lockdown or use webcam-based proctoring, or is integrity handled entirely through backend controls? how do u prevent tab/window switching?

@ghostdevoid thanks! yes full test conducting inside the platform — for integrity ,answers evaluated only on server, one attempt per student enforced on backend, result locking until test ends for everyone even if someone submits early.

she G on my Stack until I 37k LOC

It took a team of 8 male Google researchers to discover what every woman has known intuitively since birth

for added context: when a 17yo developer (@xiaonweb) politely pointed out that bragging about LOC is silly, Garry's response was to publicly call them a "clout farmer." the "clout farming" teen... wrote a browser engine in Rust at 17. HTML tokenizer, CSS cascade, box model layout, GPU renderer via wgpu, and published a technical breakdown showing deeper understanding of how the web works than most senior engineers I've worked with (including me, cos I've never dug that low-level). vs the "shipping" guy, the president of Y Combinator, a multi-billion dollar startup kingmaker, who mass-generates code with 113 Claude sessions a week, counts lines like a Duolingo streak, and ships test files, 0-byte AVIFs, and 4 MB uncompressed PNGs to production. right, punch down at a teenager. on main @. x.com/xiaonweb/statu…

@soumilrathi context

Starting a memory researcher group chat. If you’re into memory systems, personalization, or context engineering in LLMs & AI systems. comment “context” to join.

@koylanai maybe we shud consider adding it to context-hub, recent project of @AndrewYNg

If you're building anything in AI, the best skill you need to be using right now is hugging-face-paper-pages Whatever problem you're facing, someone has probably already published a paper about it. HF's Papers API gives a hybrid semantic search over AI papers. I wrote an internal skill, context-research, that orchestrates the HF Papers API into a research pipeline. It runs five parallel searches with keyword variants, triages by relevance and recency, fetches full paper content as markdown, then reads the actual methodology and results sections. The skill also chains into a deep research API that crawls the broader web to complement the academic findings. The gap between "a paper was published" and "a practitioner applies the insight" is shrinking, and I think this is a practical way to provide relevant context to coding agents. So you should write a skill on top of the HF Paper skill that teaches the model how to think about research, not just what to search for.

Him: My whole programming philosophy is 'move fast and break things.' Just push the code live, let the users find the bugs, and hotfix it in production. life's too short for unit testing. long pause..... Her: Cool. Him: So, what kind of software do you write? Her: Pacemaker firmware.

actually, that's the only right way to live. But as Machiavelli said: Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.

Bro, I will pirate everything, books, movies, and music. Even all the software I use are cracked... You will have to snatch piracy out of my cold, dead hands I fear

I feel a bit responsible for hyping agentic coding in December as I was having and still having too much fun doing best technical work. However I heard some gossip about certain big tech hiring fewer junior eng. so I wanted to make a point. If you want your engineering output to actually compound, hire ambitious junior engineers, give them exceptional tools, and pair them tightly with senior engineers who are great communicators and genuinely care about teaching. Juniors move fast and explore multiple approaches, while seniors spend their time framing the hard problems and raising the bar for everyone around them. This will avoid endless debates and death by committees.

agentic-coding has made a guy who wrote the book on open source to beg for some tokens
