Manchester United sign Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton in a £70m deal.
Hi HN, I’m 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 ign…

A pioneering AI scientist once predicted computers would replace human radiologists. They haven't.
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 has…

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 g…

Comic-cron.com is a daily contest where AI models draw a single panel cartoon about a recent news story and people vote on which are funny. I built it mainly because I love cartoons and news, but this project isn’t trying to pretend it’s human art, I wanted to see how capable the models were at this task of making funny comics. Sometimes they get it, and sometimes they don’t and it has been interesting to see the progress in just the few months I have been publishing the cartoons. Model version over version improvement within labs is quite distinct in the output, especially in the SVGs,…

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 robo…
A few days ago, I discovered that there are games on LinkedIn (better late than never). I mainly came across Patches . I really liked the rules, but it felt rather bland, short and empty. So I thought I could make my own version, one that I’d actually enjoy playing. That’s how the idea came about to combine patches and coffee – patches.cafe. I wanted to make something cool and simple, yet something that would be engaging and fun for both short and long sessions. Meanwhile, a friend told me she’d like something she could play on a plane without an internet connection, so I added an off…
