I'm a 47yo full stack developer that's investing all his free time (and not only that) into thinkering, building, researching with AI. Some days ago I found a paper about distilling kokoro on a ~9MB with around 25x RTF. It was very interesting and since the experiment was on a single english voice and I'm Italian, I wanted to see if I could manage to distill it in my language but the training recipe wasn't replicable. So I spent some days researching, experimenting and found the why and even some more tweaks to improve the overall result. The demo I linked shows you how close it is to the ori…
Though movies about disruptive tech founders are nothing new, 2026 has been unusually stacked with features that take a much more critical look at how Silicon Valley is reshaping our reality. Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning frames Mark Zuckerberg as a robotic villain whose ambitions are destabilizing society. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's You Can […]

Endo is a Higher-Order Harness (HOH). From the easiest concept to understand to the more complex ones, Endo gives you: A single, simple UI to use any agent provider with your existing subscriptions, and hot-swap agents right in the middle of a session. An orchestration layer, which I call HOH, allowing arbitrary composition of agents to achieve any workflow. A fun case I tried was asking Fable and Astra to mock a presidential debate. * An agent protocol that abstracts any agent. The key insight here is that every LLM is an agent—instead of treating the LLM as just one node inside an ext…

Hi HN, I created this game with Codex Astra and Astra subagents. It went remarkably well. SLOP CITY is an autobiographical first-person lounge that embeds my TikTok posts. I use it to market my Digilore podcast app which is in the Apple App store. However this submission is not a shameless plug, only partially, because it's free and open source so I encourage everyone to download the code and ask Codex or another LLM to sync social media posts from any source. Or... try doing that by hand :) Just note that all trademarks would need to be replaced as called out in the license (which is AGPL-v3…

The official openai/math repo is closed to issues, PRs, and discussion. I made this app to share some explanatory videos that help us all make sense of the release, catalogue follow-ons and improvements that build on the openai research, and more broadly provide a set of community tools for distributed research. I am not a trained mathematician and most of the math exceeds my understanding. As such, the videos _are_ AI-generated, but IMHO, go a long ways towards helping folks like me understand the problems, proofs, and related ideas. Suggestions are welcome.
