Hi HN, Iβm Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been ignβ¦

SDI protocol defines a reasoning computer for AI. The computer runs an LLM one turn at a time, guiding it through a reasoning grammar; the grammar, which is both natural language and algebraic, allows it to be checked at a compile gate. The gate validates safety, a workfloor, and alignment with the grammar before it commits. What commits is a hash-chain ledger of the agent's reasoning, forming a longitudinal data set that becomes the agent's functional memory/system state. Chromite, the protocol's public agent, has been reasoning on one continuous hash chain since springtime this year and hasβ¦

It is pretty obvious that hostnames can replace IP addresses. Pretty much any software accepting an IP address will also accept a hostname as an argument. Last week, I wrote about scans for the cloud metadata service listening at 169.254.169.254. These scans attempted to exploit Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. One way to prevent these types of exploits is to filter requests that contain the string "169.254.169.254" or to add this IP to a blocklist of URLs that should not be accessed.

It's called learnfrom.co, a platform for creating, hosting and selling online courses. I started building it because I wanted to solve a problem I had with existing course platforms. I kept running into things I wanted to change, so I started building them myself. The problem: I wasn't really a software engineer. Instead, I started using AI to build the product. I'd describe what I wanted, let it write the code, test it, fix things when they broke, and repeat. That somehow turned into a real product. LearnFrom is now used by 100+ creators and businesses, with real students and real payments gβ¦

Hi HN, I've been working on a new side project to dive deeper into action-conditioned world models for robotics. The goal is to build an open space to train, evaluate, and deploy these models in real environments (primarily for educational and research purposes). In v0, I've put together implementations for several of Yann LeCun's JEPA-based models (I-JEPA, V-JEPA, V-JEPA 2-AC, LeJEPA, LeWM), as well as members of other model families like MuZero and TD-MPC2. I'm sharing it early because I'm open to feedback, code reviews, and collaborations from anyone interested in RL, world models, or roboβ¦
