that’s not how steganography works in llms haha re typing it keeps every word the model chose and the signal is in the pattern. i spent my weekend trying to fine tuning a small model to invent its own keyless covert channels for sneaking secrets past a monitor buabaj.github.io/StegoLens/

One of the saddest things about Ghana is how we’ve convinced ourselves that suffering builds character. A young person spends years looking for employment, finally gets a job that barely pays enough to survive, spends hours in traffic and comes home exhausted and someone tells them to be grateful because others have it worse.
Why must somebody else’s suffering be the standard by which we measure our happiness? When did wanting a decent life become asking for too much?

the note is definitely not from the kid no ghanaian is going to write “explore the forest to see beauty” and why would you assume he wouldn’t be able to differentiate between intelligent and intelligence ??

Loved Karpathy's HackerTube so much I wanted it on my TV, so I built a native Android TV app for it
Pick a video and it plays on YouTube on the TV.
Built with Opus 5.5 in about an hour.

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.
