Dropped out of Columbia (physics, philosophy) for a Thiel Fellowship. Built Julep AI — open-source AI agent framework, 7k stars on GitHub — because I wanted agents that could actually do things. Now building Memory Store (YC X26): persistent memory for AI agents. Turns out the hard problem isn’t making agents smart, it’s making them remember.

Still fascinated by what foundational models and cognitive architectures teach us about our own minds. Building beats theorizing, but sometimes they’re the same thing.

I hadn’t really thought it’d get popular enough for something like that to be honest. But, that does sound like a neat blog post in the making. :)

diwank··on Ask HN: YouTube Channels for the Intellectually Curious
Huge fan of:

- PBS Space Time (w/ physicist Matt O’Dowd) [1] for deep space and fundamental astrophysics in an accurate but approachable way

- Kurzgesagt —- In a nutshell [2] for entertaining yet informative, beautifully animated videos on everything from science to politics to philosophy

diwank··on The Dunning-Kruger Effect Is Autocorrelation
Excerpt from a newer paper by Nuhfer (2017) adds more clarity:

“… Our data show that peoples' self-assessments of competence, in general, reflect a genuine competence that they can demonstrate. That finding contradicts the current consensus about the nature of self-assessment. Our results further confirm that experts are more proficient in self-assessing their abilities than novices and that women, in general, self-assess more accurately than men. The validity of interpretations of data depends strongly upon how carefully the researchers consider the numeracy that underlies graphical presentations and conclusions. Our results indicate that carefully measured self-assessments provide valid, measurable and valuable information about proficiency. …”

diwank··on Pong using browser windows as the paddles and ball (2009)
I became a huge fan of this when I first saw it and ended up making a similar "Bricks breaker" game, inspired by this, that uses popups too:

P.s. The source code has a letter in it (http://stewd.io/pong/lib/pong.js)

I think it's a good attempt to consolidate information and tutorials about Angular but I'm not convinced that it's a "better way" to learn how to use it.

Anyway, great job guys!

diwank··on A Better Way to Learn AngularJS
Looks really good. A few typos here and there but I think it'd be useful. On my reading list!

Congrats Mark.
diwank··on Show HN: hateratio.com, how much hated?
Nice idea. How about the ability to bookmark and share comparisons?

I'd so love to show off the fact that Mozilla has a hate-ratio of only ~ 1.7% while Microsoft has ahem..

Indeed. That'd be incredible if he can manage that. Plus, he'll gain a lot experience.
diwank··on Ask HN: Coming out of a long bout of depression, need some life advice.
A steady job is a very good idea (depending on who you ask). I just didn't want to make the assumption that he has a large enough skill set for a regular programming job.
