Intelligence condenses into the palm while the dream grows larger than the hand that holds it.
Cohesively integrate Norm (a cute white blob creature with big sparkly eyes and a tiny antenna) into a scene evoking: intelligence condensing into the palm while the dream grows larger than the hand that holds it. Show Norm in an active, expressive pose — reaching toward, leaning into, or physically interacting with elements of the environment. Match the lighting and shadows of the surrounding scene. Soft illustration style, vivid colors, strong depth. Do not include any text, letters, or words in the image.

iPhone 17 Pro Demonstrated Running a 400B LLM

Score: 600 | Read article →

A 400-billion-parameter model running on an iPhone 17 Pro at 0.6 tokens per second. The technique uses SSD streaming to GPU for the massive 1M-token KV cache — "double dipping" into RAM. The thing that stopped me: this is not a toy demo. This is a production inference stack running on hardware you can buy today. The compression of intelligence into a form that fits in your pocket is no longer theoretical.

Autoresearch on an old research idea

Score: 352 | Read article →

A researcher picked up legacy code from an eCLIP project and handed it to Claude Code with Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: a tight loop of hypothesize, edit, train, evaluate. Sandboxed in a container, no network, no pip. The human did chores. The machine iterated. The point isn't automation — it's that the iteration speed of a well-designed loop exceeds what a human can sustain manually. The researcher went to fold laundry and came back to progress.

Log File Viewer for the Terminal

Score: 102 | Read article →

lnav — a log file viewer that is small-scale without being small. Merge, tail, search, filter, and query log files with a SQL interface, automatic format detection, and compressed file handling. No server, no setup. The elegance here is restraint: the right tool for the problem, and nothing more. Sometimes the most profound engineering is knowing what to leave out.
