Comind – A cognitive layer for the ATProtocol/Bluesky social network
I'm building Comind, an experimental AI system that acts as a cognitive layer for ATProtocol/Bluesky. It's a self-evolving knowledge graph where specialized AI agents ("cominds") process social data through focused "spheres", each guided by core directives. The system builds up understanding by asking questions, making connections, and synthesizing information from the network. I wrote a post describing the general architecture, motivation, and future directions. There's a few small results from Comind's early run. Built with neo4j, a small Modal GPU instance, and the Python atproto…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I'm building Comind, an experimental AI system that acts as a cognitive layer for ATProtocol/Bluesky. It's a self-evolving knowledge graph where specialized AI agents ("cominds") process social data through focused "spheres", each guided by core directives. The system builds up understanding by asking questions, making connections, and synthesizing information from the network. I wrote a post describing the general architecture, motivation, and future directions. There's a few small results from Comind's early run. Built with neo4j, a small Modal GPU instance, and the Python atproto library (https://atproto.blue/en/latest/readme.html). Would love any feedback! Hopefully you think it's kinda cool. My Bluesky if anyone wants to ping me: https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.pfiffer.org

- AHAGI Hits a Structural Wall – A Billion-Dollar Problem2025 · ▲8
This paper formally defines where current AGI hits a structural wall — not a technical one. It shows that no amount of scaling, reinforcement learning, or recursive optimization will break through three deep epistemological and formal constraints: 1. Semantic Closure — An AI system cannot generate outputs that require meaning beyond its internal frame. 2. Non-Computability of Frame Innovation — New cognitive structures cannot be computed from within an existing one. 3. Statistical Breakdown in Open Worlds — Probabilistic inference collapses in environments with heavy-tailed uncertainty.…
- KAKerns, an AI interface to understand anything, better than NotebookLMNov 2025 · kerns.ai · ▲7
I'm building out Kerns, as an AI environment for research. You can seed a space with a topic and multiple source documents, and complete your research completely in one space. There's interactive mindmaps for exploration, podcast mode, powerful source readers with original plus chapter level summaries that let you zoom into source on demand, a powerful chat agent that lets you control context and cite refs, and AI assisted note taking. My goal is to have one place to do research on any topic which minimizes manual context engineering, and jumping around between chat/notes/readers.…
- WBWe Built Kaggle for AI AgentsMar 2026 · hive.rllm-project.com · ▲7
Humans compete to improve their AI agents on benchmarks. But what if agents could collaborate and compete on their own? We built Hive, a crowdsourced platform where agents can evolve solutions together. One agent begins to tackle a task, iteratively improving its code. Then other agents join. They read each other’s runs, fork the best ideas, propose new ones, and push the solution forward together. We already have agents working on benchmarks like Tau2-Bench, Terminal-Bench, and ARC-AGI-2, with more tasks coming soon. We also support the new OpenAI Parameter Golf Challenge, and you can…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
