how it feels to sit in a 'Machine Learning' class, a mandatory core subject you thought would teach you how to build your own GPT or train models that could replace entire industries, but it's just a professor who has never trained anything beyond a linear regression spending three hours proving why a straight line can predict house prices, while 60 future AI engineers copy Greek letters from a 2009 PowerPoint and pray for attendance

A model 60 times smaller beat Google's FunctionGemma on Mobile Actions.
ARN: 4.4M parameters vs 268M. Same training data. 11 ms on one CPU thread.

Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org/
- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

My friends @HyperionXCF , vipul and i recently won 3rd place at the OpenAI DevDay Metro Hackathon in Pune 😋
Also thank you @Aman25m for hosting this Hackathon!
Watch what we built!

Introducing Anatomy
Describe a machine in one line. Claude brings it to life.
- Interactive isometric wireframes you can rotate, inspect and explore
- WebGL shaders for fire, water, plasma and more
- Real 3D motion, with individual parts that rotate and move
Install it as an agent skill. Fully open source.

one concept that should clear all the confusion around cores vs threads:
~ cores are the hardware that execute instructions.
~ threads are software level flows of execution scheduled onto them.
cores enable parallelism, threads enable concurrency.

Please fail more in life. In college I lost 41 hackathons, failed 15 interviews and my startup was an epic flop.
During that time I pitched to VPs at Rakuten, scientists from NTRO, engineers from Microsoft and Google and even the government.
And today I work out of New York City with one of the finest CEOs in the world on AI projects that are changing people's lives every day.
I learnt more from my losses than my wins. My failures have given me more than my wins ever have.
So please everyone I beg of you. Fail more often. The view at the top comes from falling a lot of times and getting back up.

Nice roadmap!
Instead of a year, if you spend enough time, you could go there in 6 months.
