holy shit.
devs, your new job just dropped
Applications are now open for the Anthropic Residency, a paid, fixed-term research program for academics, technical founders, and staff-level engineers who want to make AI safe and beneficial for everyone. No ML background is required.
Apply by November 22: alignment.anthropic.com/2026…

Boston increasingly a hard tech talent center
We raised a $75M Series B to deploy intelligent robots now, led by @a16z, with participation from @usv and @neo.
@tutorintel robots work real jobs across the United States, directed by human “tutors” and the foundation models we’ve trained on the work done. This round accelerates frontier model training, robot manufacturing, and deployment into industry.
We’re in almost 4x as many sites as a year ago; nearly a third of this year’s deployments went to existing customers coming back for more; and we’re on track to have more than 1,000 robots under contract by the end of 2027.
Our mission is to proliferate robotics for the common good. If you want to make robots reliably do things others think are impossible, for people who’ve never had access to this technology, join us.

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.

UI and math time! UI = f(props) is the most famous line in React. But that f is JavaScript, not math.
Inspired by @_chenglou’s Handwired project, I compiled a <Dashboard/> component into a real math function, and asked what becomes possible.

The only path forward is full stack engineering.
You will become a aerospace mechanical chemical design engineer and you will like it.

After many years of scraping by, saving every extra penny... I might be able to pay off the machine tools I bought many years ago. This might be one of the best days of my life.
Updated my browser game that’s mobile ready no login, no downloads, no ads.
Drugwarz.pages.dev
The new update is fun now with a director engine to keep you entertained.

Astro 7.4 ships experimental parallel prerendering. I tried it on the Astro docs (6,358 pages): build time went from 67s to 37s, 45% faster. 🚀
ALT 45% faster docs builds

The PS5 got jailbroken and within less than a week people got PS2/PS3 physical discs working on PS5. Years of them lying to us about how impossible it would be, debunked in less than a week.

Would love one of these for a home weather station display
I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen
They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB
1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen
I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video

I was on the Docs team 15 years ago. The rewrite (from Writely to the new OT-based editor) had just launched. We were facing an enormous list of features we lacked that prevented enterprises (and some consumers) from using us. I think we didn't even have inherited text styles at that point. Markdown was so far down the list compared to absolute basic editor functionality. Plus there were some reasonable arguments against it, like "the 'spec' is some guy's webpage"
The thing that stopped it for the next 5 years (which was how long I was on the team) was that the Word <-> Docs conversion service was a separate team based in Sydney called Changeling. Having literally opposite work hours made it difficult to coordinate with them, plus it made it easy for the I-don't-want-Markdown-in-Google-Docs crowd to just say "obviously Markdown conversion should be handled by this other team that's really difficult to coordinate with," which was a really effective way to shut it down in favor of things that would better help them game promotion.
I don't have any insight into why they finally started prioritizing it a few years ago, but my guess is that they started losing contracts to Notion which is a lot more Markdown-native
