Using large language models like LLMs requires domain knowledge to get the most out of them. A skilled prompter like Terence Tao can steer the model with expertise in the domain, but this skill is not easily replicable by following tips.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2026-07-04-harness/openai-agent-loop.png
Harness engineering is a crucial component of recursive self-improvement (RSI) in AI, enabling models to improve their own performance and adapt to new tasks through workflow design, context management, and optimization. Recent research has focused on developing automated design of agentic systems, meta-harnesses, and evolutionary search methods to improve harness engineering, with ...

Mini retirements: like a sabbatical, but much smaller

https://www.ssp.sh/brain/_img/feature/gen/mini-retirements.webp
Like a Sabbatical, but much smaller. You can do it after finishing school, after switching to a new position or job, or to squeeze in 1-3 months where you do nothing or something for yourself. I also like Austin Kleon’s way in Steal like an artist Trilogy (Austin Kleon) where he says: Do Sabbaticals. If you can’t do a long one, do daily, weekly, and monthly. Disconnect, go away from your ...

The theory that people oppose development due to ugly buildings is not supported by evidence, as many beautiful developments still face opposition, and the timing of zoning restrictions and modernist architecture does not align. Instead, the rise of conservationism and restrictive zoning is likely due to the growing opposition among people who do not live near developments, who are motivated ...

Smaller, faster, safer: running Kimi and GLM at scale

https://blog.cloudflare.com/_image?href=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.cloudflare.com%2F_emdash%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2F01KZ1PVA5SC9J87PS1R2B97N1F.png&w=1999&h=1125&f=webp&fit=cover&position=center
Workers AI optimizes large models on GPUs by quantizing the KV cache to FP8, compressing model weights to INT4, and protecting the cache with integrity checks. These techniques enable efficient serving of models like Kimi K-series and GLM with no change in accuracy, supporting more customers at lower costs.

Show HN: I made a private self-destructing image hosting site in Golang

We are running this service on a small server. We literally cannot afford to store any images. If that is what you need, there are more suitable services out there. Until the timer you pick runs out, or the view limit is hit — whichever comes first. After that the link stops working. Only people you send the link to. Links use long random IDs, aren't listed anywhere, and the pages tell ...
