Hi guys. I just built two way ranking boards, one for creators and one for products. The mechanic isn't mine, outbid.lol did it for products first. I added a creators board and per-country rankings. Both boards just opened, so #1 is still up for grabs. Happy to support the mission? join the bid with as little as possible.

One of the first projects I worked on using Claude and Opus 4.6 was a port of Civ 2 (which to me is the definitive Civ game) to HTML, as I didn't want to keep installing a Windows XP VM to play it, or patching it. It's been a long road, but the first beta is now out on Github and available on the web at the link above. Includes original graphics, units, the same UI, and even the videos from Heralds. Noting the assets are still copyrighted you are mandated to have a licenced copy of the game to play before you go forward. Source code here using BSD 3.0 https://github.com/wan0net/civ2 Comments…

Hey guys, I’m Sean founder & CEO of M2W. We made an AI editor for manga creators worldwide. Manga creators work solo or duo and can’t get critical feedback from public, but editors are too busy and expensive to hire. So we made this AI editor with manga editors who used to work at major Japanese manga publishing firms. As a result, creators can get reliable feedback in minutes to reiterate and make their works better at the earliest stage of creation. This will lead into us becoming publishers ourselves and be able to pay the creators a larger share of revenue than it is now. Currently th…

This essay was written with Kasra Rafi, and originally appeared in The Guardian. Earlier this month, about 40 top mathematicians gathered at OpenAI’s offices to discuss the future of their profession. The meeting was off-the-record, but if recent articles by mathematicians are any guide, it was mostly pretty glum. People fear for their jobs, their careers and the work they love. We think the contrary view is more likely, at least in the short-term. AI models are nowhere near as capable as experienced academic mathematicians. This isn’t to say that AIs aren’t producing stunning mathemati…

I've been learning Japanese for a few years and kept running into a similar problem. I'd find a video I wanted to learn from, hear a useful sentence, and then realise that turning that sentence into something I could study later was both time consuming and draining at times. I would end up jumping between a video player, subtitles/transcription, a dictionary, screenshots, audio clips and Anki. So I built SubSmith to bring that workflow together. You can drop a video or audio file into it, generate a transcript locally and then use the transcript alongside the media to: * look up words and sen…
