That time when I failed the Microsoft interview

The year was 2015, halfway through my Computer Science bachelor’s degree. I had spent a few months contributing to open source and my confidence levels were high, so I thought: why not aim for a summer internship at Microsoft? Microsoft, of all places, might sound like a weird company to target in 2026. Back then, however, they were cool (in my book at least). I was impressed by their work on Typescript, and also by their open source rewrite of the C# compiler.,The year was 2015, halfway through my Computer Science bachelor’s degree.

CollectWise (YC F24) Is Hiring

About Us CollectWise is a fast growing and well funded Y Combinator-backed startup. We’re using generative AI to automate debt collection, a $35B market in the US alone. Our AI agents are already outperforming human collectors by 2X, and we’re doing so at a fraction of the cost. With a team of five, we scaled to a $2 million annualized run rate in just a few months, and we are now hiring an AI Agent Engineer to help us reach $10 million within the next year. About the role CollectWise is hiring an AI Agent Engineer to build the infrastructure, prompting systems, and core architecture behind our voice AI agents. You will work at the intersection of AI infrastructure, prompt engineering, conversational design, and product development to b

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

The concept of recursive self-improvement (RSI) dates back to I. J. Good (1965), where he defined an “ultraintelligent machine” as a system that can surpass humans in all intellectual activities and design better machines to improve itself. Yudkowsky (2008) used the phrase “recursive self-improvement” for a specific feedback loop: an AI uses its current intelligence to improve the cognitive machinery that produces its intelligence. This feedback loop in modern AI may indicate the model rewriting its own weights directly, or more broadly the model improves the training pipeline and the deployment system, which in turn enables a better successor model with improved performance across economically valuable tasks. The speed of research developm

Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science

OpenAI shares new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, including advances in geometry, cryptography, and complexity.

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

Serving frontier models like Kimi and GLM means fighting for GPU memory. Here's how we quantize KV caches, compress model weights, and add integrity checks to serve them faster, cheaper, and safely.
