1+ hour, 22+ min ago   (114+ words) The next bottleneck in AI isn't compute. It's high-quality data. 💡 As public web data hits saturation, the most interesting shift in LLM and Agent development is the rise of Agentic Synthetic Data Generation. 1️⃣ Autonomous agents run in simulated environments to…...

I Sell Memory APIs. I'm Also Building the Benchmark. Here's How I'm Trying Not to Rig It.

1+ hour, 39+ min ago   (795+ words) Hey everyone. This time I'll go through what got me started on this benchmark, and the core of how it's actually built. All numbers below are from the current build. Nothing is final yet, so some of them will have…...

A Telegram job alert bot in 60 lines of Python, on live ATS data

1+ hour, 55+ min ago   (456+ words) Job boards go stale fast. By the time a weekly digest reaches you, the interesting roles have been open for a month. So let's build the smallest thing that fixes that: a Telegram bot that wakes up, asks one API…...

I made two AIs review each other's code for 30 days. A human still caught the bug in 5 minutes.

2+ hour, 14+ min ago   (905+ words) Last month I let AI write 100% of my code for 30 days. The single loudest lesson wasn't "AI is amazing" or "AI is useless." It was one sentence: the thing that writes the code can never be the thing that reviews…...

AI Agent Memory: Sliding Windows, Summaries, and Vector Storage

2+ hour, 44+ min ago   (623+ words) The agent we built in Post #4 has one big problem — the moment the script ends, it forgets everything. Next time you run it, it starts from zero. No memory of past conversations, no retained facts, nothing. For a quick experiment…...

The Illusion of String.length: How to safely count Unicode, Emojis, and Words in JS

2+ hour, 23+ min ago   (173+ words) If you are building a text input that restricts users to a specific character limit (like a tweet, an SMS gateway, or an SEO meta tag), your first instinct is probably to use String.prototype.length. If you are doing…...

Your Own Agent Roadmap — From Safety Net to Autonomous Discovery

2+ hour, 28+ min ago   (564+ words) The state where memory (Chapter 3), hook gates (Chapter 4), and the auditor (Chapter 6) are in place. The AI hasn't become more capable — what's been built is an environment where it's hard to be wrong. Graduation criteria: the recurrence rate of the…...

Designing a deterministic browser-side photo analysis flow

3+ hour, 42+ min ago   (196+ words) While building a small browser-based facial-proportion tool, I found that a few engineering choices matter more than adding another model. The pipeline starts with 478 detected facial landmarks and derives four displayed proportions: harmony, symmetry, eye area, and jawline. The important…...

8+ hour, 10+ min ago   (543+ words) I maintain a 2D game engine in Python called ABS Engine. Last week I decided it needed C. Not because anything was slow. That is the embarrassing part. I wanted to drop a.c file into a folder and call it from Python…...
