🆕 React Native Micro Skill release🚨: Expo Router App... Store Card Transition. Get the skill in link below 👇 This is combo of Expo Router Zoom transitions combined with the right card format plus a landing native screen that matches the effect. Also cards bg text matches image with blur-hash. (Text color switch depending on that color too). Thats it. I call these "micro skills" and that's the point. This small skill artifacts is very simple in sight but still deep in its own way. It is thinking about how to make the effect powerful. What are the other elements to combine to make a a great UX show into existence. Again micro skills are so powerful when they compound and are what will push you into creating amazing native feel experiences. Are you creating micro skills too? LMK in the comments below.show more

LLM Artifacts Connected to Andrej Karpathy's LLM Knowledge base... idea, I've been building out a fun way to generate dynamic artifacts from these knowledge bases with the goal of discovering and revealing meaningful and deeper insights. LLM KBs are hard to consume for humans, as I think they are more built for agents. So the question is, what form would be useful for humans to take actions and make important decisions? That's what I am trying to figure out with these artifacts. The artifact example shows a pulse on HN discussions around AI-related stories. The insights can go deeper, of course, but this is already super fun and thought-provoking, like some of my favorite podcasts. The format and depth matter a lot. The aggregation skills of agents are outstanding if you tune the prompts and skill carefully. I built this artifact generator in a few minutes through an agent skill, but I feel like there are so many ways that LLM-generated information can be used and consumed. Like generating deeper insights and analysis, and things that are just not feasible for humans today. The generated artifact (including its data and design) serves as reusable templates or can be updated in real-time via auomations, which is something I am also working on. It is truly an insane way to monitor and track information. Better than a newsletter. Better than newspapers. There is something about this that gets me really excited about the future of AI agents for knowledge generation and discovery. Lots of hidden gems everywhere just waiting to be discovered and acted on if the information is presented correctly. This is not perfect. The format, style/prose can be improved, but this is easy to customize via skill. You can personalize it to your liking. I feel like these dynamic artifacts are going to emerge as a strong new medium to stay on the cutting edge of things, both for agents and humans. My target is research, of course. This was just a basic example. Besides animation, I am also targeting other components like voice, videos, images, slides, etc. This space is full of opportunities to explore. Skill for this coming soon.show more

Hailuo MiniMax (official) MiniMax Design (H3) H3 A prototype... motion-graphics landing page for ice cream, built to test just how far H3 can push UI animation, typography, transitions, hover interactions, and product motion. I tried creating similar effects manually in Adobe After Effects but this version is 100% generated with H3. The model handles these complex motion-design elements incredibly well, and the results are STUNNING - Animated Shape Layers - Kinetic Typography - Cursor Hover Update - Bounce Effects - Wiggle Effects - Live Background - Micro Text Renders - Ease in Ease out Keyframes Prompt Belowshow more

this is the worst local ai will ever be.... it only gets better from here. if you are not expanding your mind with these small models you are missing what's happening right now 99 percent tool call success rate. when steered well with the right skills and a framework like hermes agent the node becomes a cognition layer. not a chatbot. not a toy. an extension of how you think. i was cranking this node at 35 to 50 tok/s all day on personal experiments and now after all the work is done qwen 3.5 9B is iterating on its own code. the game it created. fixing its own bugs autonomously. and the part you should probably not miss is that all of this is happening on a RTX 3060. not an H100. not an A100. the card most of you have sitting in a drawer right now. if you just open that drawer and put that intelligence to work every tensor core on that card should be running for you. your work. your experiments. your thinking. you all have it but because nobody told you what this hardware can actually do in 2026 you never tried. the day it unlocks is the day you test your workload, understand the tradeoffs, debug the loops, and then decide if you need to scale the hardware. there is no point buying 3 mac studios when things done well you can squeeze a similar level of intelligence from 9B compared to 70B. but only when you create the right environment for your model through the right harness. and let me tell you i have tried claude code as a local harness. i have tried opencode. i have tried various others. somehow i landed on hermes agent and never left. there is something magical going on at Nous Research. the tool call parsers, the skills system, the way it handles small models natively. nothing else comes close for local inference. own your cognition. your AI. your agent. your prompts. your experiments. why give them away for free. those are who you are and they don't belong on someone else's servers being monitored. just give it a shot with your existing hardware. you run into a problem the community will help you. and if you are migrating from openclaw to hermes i will personally help you make the switch.show more

How did we allow our governments to import this... into the West? How are people just ‘tolerating’ this? When you know the nature of a thing, you can't be surprised when it behaves in that way. They knew exactly what they were importing, they knew exactly what this would do to our nations & Western civilisation. They may as well have thrown grenades or bombs into our communities, same result. They are using immigration as a bio weapon against the ethnic/ native population of the West. This is all intentional. This is TREASON. This will get so much worse unless our people stop this. No one is coming to save us.show more

I am in the church of American consumerism. The... fact that I'm telling you this probably tells you what store I'm in. It isn’t a Tesla store. Think bigger. Way bigger. That you have to show your club card to get in. Just like if I say, "What kind of shoes was Tiger Woods wearing?" you probably would get that right too. What other brands have such a strong memory in everybody's head? I remember my boss taking me to Price Club back in the 1980s. Which is what Costco used to be called. “Don’t tell anyone about this place. It will put us out of business.” The family store I used to work at is gone. If you talk to a Tesla fan all you need to say is “triangle” and we know exactly which vehicle you are talking about. At the Tesla Oasis, which is in the middle of nowhere in California north of Los Angeles, the solar panels are at the same angle. Why I notice these things? I have hung out with brand designers and storytellers at the highest level. Oakley treats its designers as better than everyone else. It has special equipment that deposits a layer a few atoms thick as glass and plastic. That is how it gets to reflect light in such a colorful way. If you see them you know they are Oakleys. Can’t wait for a pair to come out from some tech company that basically say to everyone “yes I am wearing a camera.” Whoever turns that negative into a club will have a huge moat. Like Harley Davidson turned its negative image into a brand that the Governor of Texas once talked to my partner about for more than an hour both with very fond tones. My friend says Cybertruck is a failure. I say that will be a very popular vehicle on Robotaxi. Just watch. Once you are inside for a ride you will understand. As for the glasses, Zuckerberg had plans long ago to have us play games with our friends in the street. That kind of club.show more

I understand what Russia wants to achieve with its... missile and drone strikes on Ukraine - namely, to destroy peaceful life and drive people into such a psychological state that they are ready to make any concessions just to end it all. However, such strikes have the opposite effect. They remind us that the war is ongoing and that it is not limited to the conflict in the east; they show that at any moment, a missile can take everything away from you. And the only way to prevent this from happening is to donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to hate the Russians even more. I think we can cite examples from World War II, when Hitler's attacks on Great Britain did not break its confidence in the struggle. If the Russians aimed to cause a massive blackout, they failed, wasting dozens of missiles worth tens of millions. But we understand that strikes on oil refineries and other targets must continue! PS: These are small fragments from real life that I filmed. The video may not show it, but the shock wave was strong enough to cause quite intense emotions in me.show more

The average 18yr old will have spent 33,968 hrs... of their life on a screen 🤯 That's 3.9 years (or 22%) of their life watching a screen The 10,000 hour rule states that spending 10,000 hrs practicing a skill will lead to world-class expertise This means that an 18yr old could be world-class in multiple skills if they weren't glued to a screen An overlooked negative about screens is what they take from kids When kids are on a screen, They aren't interacting with others. They aren't learning to run, jump, climb and play. They aren't observing their surroundings. They aren't experiencing the joy of learning new skills. Screens will be a part of their adult life. They dont need screens in their childhood.show more

Making OpenCode as lean as Pi agent? Just trimmed... 25k out of OpenCode's system prompt (from 30k to 4-5k tokens) How? Just disable skills and get rid of massive skill definition bloat. Who needs skills anyway? Just kidding, this is the not the way. It makes the agent lame and defeats the point of using one. But it sets a precedent: Find a way to use skills without their definitions pre-loaded into the system prompt every single turn. Another interesting stuff: Upon testing this temporary "no skill setup" with two of hottest OpenCode Zen free models, Mimo V2.5 vs DeepSeek V4 Flash: One thinks more and talks less One thinks less and talks more Check the video to see which is which If you made it here, I'm finding a way to leanest OpenCode setup that I can get I simply don't believe that OpenCode can't be as lean as Pi Upon tinkering, I made a plugin that temporarily extracts the system prompt while I test, and noticed the hundreds of definitions in it from my .agents/skills directory which is shared across all my coding agents (Cursor, Antigravity, Claude, etc.) Of course disabling skills is not the answer, but it just proved that there is a way to strip the system prompt of these massive skill defs Aside from the system prompt hierarchy that injects confusion imo if you have a conflicting and redundant AGENTS.md which I discovered upon digging into OpenCode's source code Apparently it has prompt.ts/system.ts/instruction.ts/llm.ts and loads base .txt prompts based on model family (claude/gpt-o/gpt-5/codex/gemini/others) that all work together to make OpenCode aware of who it was and how it should use tools and become a "coding agent" Gotta find the most minimal mix that fits right into my workflow Make OpenCode as lean as Pi? We'll see. All inshow more

Alright this is starting to become a ridiculous problem.... Second time in 24 hours on V14.3.7. This isn’t a native 14.3.7 problem, it has been happening to me (though rarely) since 14.2. I’m ok with nav thinking roads are closed and re-routing. 95% of the time it does this it is wrong, but that’s beside the point. It’s the fact that it does it at the very last minute when it literally already started a turning maneuver. It is so startling and tries to whip it out of a maneuver like it’s avoiding a crash. And the worst part is that the roads it’s trying to avoid are almost never actually closed. Please fix this Tesla AIshow more

Hot Take: The New Camera app on iOS 26... is GREAT i initially hated it when i first saw it on the keynote, but now that i've used it, I'm loving it It’s familiar while being really simple I've always felt that the Camera app on iOS has gotten really complex and convoluted in these last few years, and the new one fixes that, while still being as nuanced as the old app if you configure it the way you want it to behave takes some time to get used to, but this is great, it really does simplify the whole Ul but, this could've been the perfect time for Apple to introduce Manual controls as an Option in the Native app, even after all this redesign, Apple is still stubborn on not adding Manual Controls it's 2025 Apple,if you're gonna let users shoot LOG Video from the Native App, let us have Manual Controls as an option in the Native App, instead of downloading third party apps👏 i wonder how people shoot LOG Videos without Manual Controls💀show more

Elon Musk just made every skill you’ve ever earned... sound like a waste of time. Musk: “Down the road with a Neuralink, you can just upload any subject instantly. You wanna fly a helicopter? No problem. Any given skill, you just upload it instantly.” Not faster learning. Not better education. Instant upload. The surgeon who spent 12 years learning to cut. The pilot who logged 5,000 hours learning to fly. The attorney who gave a decade to case law. Their entire advantage erased in a software update. We built civilization on one assumption. That knowledge is earned through suffering. That the distance between who you are and who you want to be is measured in discipline and years. Neuralink doesn’t close that distance. It deletes it. And what that kills isn’t employment. It’s identity. We don’t just use skills. We become them. Ask a surgeon who they are. They don’t say “I work in medicine.” They say surgeon. Ask a pilot. They say pilot. The identity was never the skill itself. It was the cost of acquiring it. If everyone can upload surgery in seconds, no one is a surgeon anymore. The skill still exists. The meaning behind it doesn’t. For centuries we told ourselves that mastery is what builds character. That the hardest thing you ever earned is the closest thing to purpose you’ll ever find. Neuralink doesn’t threaten your career. It threatens the story you tell yourself about why your life matters. The question nobody wants to sit with isn’t whether Musk can build this. It’s who you are when the thing that took you 20 years to become can be downloaded in 20 seconds.show more

Matching blue light: (The guy who drilled into alleged... UAP)...🧐🤔👽👽👽👽👽👽👽 For those of you who are sure this is fake, this is for the other people who are interested. The blue light that turns on behind him matches the exact color of the power drill’s light. There are a few videos where alleged UAPs mimic other objects in some way. This may be fake, it may be real. Maybe this is just the moment in history where evidence is not just seen, photographed, videotaped, but live streamed and engrained into the internet before anyone has a chance to mitigate it.show more

🚨 Alisson Becker reacts after another intense training session:... 🎙️“You can make saves in training that look spectacular, but for me the most important thing is what we are building as a team. “The coach demands intensity, concentration and quick reactions from every player. The sessions are designed to make us uncomfortable, because that is where you improve. “I’m enjoying it. The defenders are pushing me, the attackers are testing me and every session has a purpose. If we can take this intensity into the matches, we will be a very difficult team to play against. Pre-season is not about looking good in training. It’s about preparing to suffer, compete and win when the real games begin.”show more

Faith in humanity is the conviction that, given sufficient... will, the collective mind is capable of shaping a civilization in which dignity, freedom, and mutual care become a stable norm of social existence. : The author defines faith in humanity as the deep conviction that, with sufficient collective will, the shared human mind can build a civilization where dignity, freedom, and mutual care form the stable norm of social life. This faith is not blind optimism. It is a deliberate trust in our capacity to choose better. It recognizes the raw material: minds capable of empathy, foresight, and cooperation. The challenge is to direct that capacity toward lasting structures that protect every person’s worth, liberty, and security. When dignity is no longer a privilege but the default, when freedom is paired with responsibility, when care for others is woven into the fabric of society, then humanity proves its own faith justified. The alternative is resignation: accepting division, exploitation, and indifference as inevitable. Faith in humanity rejects that surrender. It insists that we are not condemned to repeat the past. We can decide, together, to make mutual care the rule rather than the exception. That decision is the quiet revolution faith demands. It begins with the belief that we are capable of it. And it ends with a world that finally matches the best of what we are.show more

If you think this is just another silly demo... made with AI, read this post. You might change your mind, because this demo is about MATH. What you see on the screen is not a render from Blender (obviously, it’s not that good). It’s a three.js app built with Toolcraft. Available on the web and rendered in real time(link in the comments). But Blender still has a lot to do with it. Blender has Geometry Nodes - a powerful node-based system for creating and manipulating procedural geometry. In other words, it’s math. And math is a universal language. And who do you think is pretty good at math? >>> AI. Now you can download or buy Blender files from marketplaces, and when they contain Geometry Nodes for procedural animations, objects, surfaces, or effects, you can transfer that logic to the web. Make it real-time, make it interactive. Materials are a separate story, of course. They can still suck unless you use the right tricks: PBR, HDRIs, material blending, displacement, and faked surface relief. So why is Blender important here? Blender is open source, and many tools around it are open source too. An AI trained on their code. That means it can translate the math from one environment to another quite accurately. If you’ve been struggling to reproduce some idea with AI that you had in your head or seen in some references, and it has something to do with Geometry Nodes, and you can find that idea or a close one in the Blender ecosystem - it means you can transfer it to the web. Thank me later.show more
