Earlier this week Tristan published his top YouTube channels:
thume.ca/2026/11/01/youtube-…
Which looked excellent so clearly I had to turn it into TristanTube:
karpathy.ai/tristan-tube/
47K super nerdy videos +TV mode for laid back watching. (One-shotted with Claude Code in 3 minutes)
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.

Nice DeepSWE score! Does it survive a lowercase filename?
Introducing MaxxBench: 89 DeepSWE tasks with small changes to the instructions or starting code. Same engineering problem, slightly different requirement.
Models clustered around 74% on DeepSWE end up 23 pp apart.
Good at coding, or good at DeepSWE? 🧵

Ayez l’habitude de dire à vos proches le bien que vous savez d’eux. Ou parler en bien d’eux, et qu’on le leur rapporte. Ça encourage et renforce. La vie c’est pas que des leçons.

The Senegalese national anthem rings out around the Stade Abdoulaye Wade.
A proud moment.

Finding it very educational and interesting to learn about the hardware layer of GPUs: how they are structured, the obvious advantages and disadvantages bs CPUs.
This is from Modal’s excellent “GPU Glossary” print book @can gave me (the PDF is free here: modal.com/gpu-glossary)

When I saw that match, I just knew his relationship with Jesus was over. Y’all still don’t understand that Ronaldo is big on the principle that actions must match words. With him, actions speak louder than words.
He has no problem compromising, but when you have an agreement, he compromises on his part, and you don’t follow through, that’s betrayal. Norway dominated the second half, yet you told him to warm up with less than 15 minutes left. He respected that, got ready, then you changed the plan.
There is no excuse for reneging on your agreement, flopping and failing to compromise when it was your turn. After which you then went to the press to control the narrative and used what was best for the team to justify your decision.
This is the same Ronaldo who paid players’ late salaries from his pocket in Saudi. Even with you as his coach, he missed a 2 matches in protest against the SPL for not supporting you with transfer funds.
Ronaldo has made it clear he is not desperate to continue with the national team, and if you won’t rely on him don’t call him up.. but you did..
Após a conferência de imprensa do Selecionador Nacional, e no seguimento de uma conversa com o Presidente da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, tomei a decisão de deixar o estágio da Seleção Nacional.
A seu tempo, direi a verdade a todos os Portugueses sobre as razões que motivaram a minha saída da equipa nacional, à qual sempre me dediquei.
Agora é tempo de desejar boa sorte a Portugal e a todos os meus companheiros de equipa, sem exceção.

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!
It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.
Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

I also want to give a huge thanks to the incomparable @JeffDean after an incredible 27-year run at Google. He’s off to start his own public benefit corporation with @Sanjay_Ghemawat focused on accelerating discoveries across ML, science, & engineering. @Google will support as a founding investor and Cloud partner. On a personal note, it’s been a privilege to work with Jeff and Sanjay, and I wish them all the best. Thank you for everything!

We (Chrome) published a big paper about security work that's important to share. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that open source software is getting hammered by AI, and people are looking for bugs: for bounties, for hacking purposes, and to help, more than ever before.
