So I know it sucks, I've been there.
The first thing you'll want to do is brush up on your assembly skills. Then after that you can transition into C and get the bootloader implemented, after that you're off to the races with a standard loop. Only take you 2-3 hours
Best of luck

University of San Francisco Teaching System Programming with Rust
They have created Octox, a Unix-like operating system written in pure Rust to teach
なんとですね！私が作ったRust 製 unix-like OS こと octox がですが、サンフランシスコ大学のコンピュータサイエンスの授業で使用されているようです。AI時代ますます Rust と OSとUnix 的なものが重要になってますね。Rust と Unix-likeなOSを同時にまなべるoctox をどうぞ

jid is a jq-like TUI tool for exploring JSON.
Unlike jq, it lets you drill into nested objects & arrays with auto completions with a live preview.
It also has expressions, function hints, sorting, piped input and more.
@simeji made jid and is Terminal Tool of the Week! ⭐️

Floyd's cycle detection algorithm finds a loop in a linked list using just two pointers and O(1) extra space
one pointer moves one node at a time while the other moves two
if a cycle exists they are guaranteed to meet
after they meet reset one pointer to the head and move both one step at a time
the node where they meet again is the exact start of the cycle
one elegant proof from modular arithmetic powers one of the most famous linked list algorithms ever written

I'm calling it now.
There's a huge AI-related psyop/false flag on the way.
It's not a coincidence that Bill Gates has all of a sudden (and very publicly) turned on AI...
At the exact same time as an Anthropic/OpenAI "whistleblower" went viral warning that AI will wipe out humanity by 2030...
At the exact same time as a new fear-mongering Netflix documentary on AI is about to be released...
At the exact same time as King Charles is set to host a summit with major AI executives to discuss "safety concerns".
As with the Covid "pandemic", when the exact same narrative starts getting pushed out of nowhere across the board, with all the same terminology and buzzwords, it's highly likely that a massive psyop is underway.

If someone asks you how to set up a software factory, send them this
The software factory approach is getting pretty popular, but it can be daunting to adopt all at once.
Let's go through “crawl, walk, run” steps for making the transition from local, interactive agents to automated cloud development.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

pacing provocation
/PAY-sing prov-uh-KAY-shun/
noun
A staged, induced, misattributed, or deliberately amplified AI incident intended to demonstrate that advanced AI systems are dangerously uncontrollable, thereby creating political pressure for tighter regulation, deployment restrictions, or a slower technological frontier.
Especially: an alleged cyberattack or autonomous-agent failure presented as evidence that frontier AI development must be “paced,” where the incident’s origin, circumstances, or interpretation may have been manipulated by actors with an interest in stronger controls.
See also: safety cartel, alignment aristocracy, regulatory theater, false flag.
“A pacing provocation turns an AI safety test into a political argument for slowing everyone else down.”

🚨The last time Netflix delivered a doomer documentary to the global mass audience on the eve of an unprecedented policy expansion?
January 22, 2020: “Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak.”
One day before Wuhan’s lockdown.
Seven weeks before WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
Production timeline: 2+ years.
Yesterday: “The AI Doc” drops to 260M subscribers.
Two days later: King Charles convenes Anthropic, Nvidia, DeepMind, OpenAI at Dumfries House to draft a “shared principles” AI charter.
Production timeline: 3+ years.
Same platform. Same architecture. Six years apart.
🚨 1/ Watch this AI Doomer trailer. Then read the timeline.
Netflix drops “The AI Apocaloptimist Doc” tomorrow — Sept 15 — to 260+ million subscribers.
This film took 3 years to make. It premieres 12 days after Sanders–Casar, 7 days after the Anthropic “whistleblower,” 3 days after Amodei’s “Pace the Frontier.”
That’s not a coincidence. That’s a launch. 🧵👇
H/t @TheRoyalGrift for the scoop.

The world is &mut.
Head up kings, we’re gonna make it
I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.
I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).
The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.
In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.
They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.
I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.
I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.
I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.
Number one tip: act with agency.
