I wasn’t quite planning to write this evening, since it’s Friday and Friday’s are for when I like to code, and when I say code I mean ‘let the agent code while I watch soccer with my friends.’ Recently I’ve been making some fun html games. I actually have another draft post in the barrel about how I think we should see a resurgence of the ‘flash game’ renaissance because it has become so much easier to make fun little games with AI tooling.…
💥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Tycoon Learning Environment (TycoonLE) is a reinforcement learning environment for economically grounded, long-horizon planning. Agents operate in a simulated logistics economy where they allocate capital, build transport routes, move cargo, manage debt, and optimize delayed returns. It is designed to study action legality, candidate-frontier decision interfaces, financing timing, delayed rewards, procedural variation, and replayable audit traces. TycoonLE uses a fixed-shape interface. Agents choose among valid route, finance, and wait candidates, making rollouts compatible with JAX transformations such as jit, vmap, and scan. The replay…

It loses operational freedom. The ability to study, build, repair, deploy, audit, adapt, teach, preserve, and run intelligence systems without asking permission is of existential importance. AI is a civilizational infrastructure for work, education, science, software, creativity, public services, and national capacity. Access must not depend on closed APIs, remote platforms, shifting terms, opaque moderation, model availability, or prices…

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: TLDR: depthfirst’s production autonomous security agent discovered 21 zero-day vulnerabilities in FFmpeg, after intensive security analysis by Google and Anthropic. Moving beyond theoretical analysis, our agent produces concrete, reproducible PoC inputs to confirm its findings at a fraction of the costs ($1k vs. $10k). Several of the findings had been sitting latent for 15 to 20 years. We explored the exploitability of the issues and developed a PoC demonstrating a RCE exploit primitive. FFmpeg is one of the most widely deployed pieces of software in…
