Not using it for Openclaw. Will start building a legion of these things to run high value high yield long running auto improving tasks indefinitely

I think we just got a demo of Mythos and I’m surprised nobodies talking about it.. 💔 In what might be the first instance the general public has seen of Claude Mythos Mythos (TBD) just uncovered a critical zero-day vulnerability in Ghost, an open-source platform with over 50,000 stars on GitHub that has never had a critical security flaw in its entire history. It identified a highly complex "blind SQL injection" a flaw so subtle you can't even see the output, only how the server delays its response. When asked to prove the severity of the bug, the model autonomously wrote a custom Python exploit script that successfully navigated the blind injection to extract the admin API key, secret, and password hashes from the database completely unauthenticated… This is genuinely game changing because it proves frontier models can now actively discover, reason through, and successfully build exploits for invisible vulnerabilities in enterprise-grade architecture that human developers missed for years. Cyber security companies are cooked.

@photobiogenesis I had a massive and continued improvement in GI issues after psylium husk. It's a miracle fiber.

More research papers have been published supporting my assertion that higher intake of soluble fiber is the most important factor in reducing zonulin, the factor that drive intestinal permeability and "leaky gut" This one was published just this month sciencedirect.com/science/articl… They found that incorporating 30g of dietary fiber for one month was enough to lower zonulin, circulating endotoxin (LPS), and thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO) The subjects also lost weight, likely as a result of greater satiation and lower caloric intake

Anyone know the best AI to find best LA apartments/houses based on criteria? GPT is so shitty at this and is simply looking at text descriptions

i have real trust issues with opus. it's extremely weird. any time it suggest a thing, i switch to gpt and ask for a second opinion. in +60% of cases, gpt finds additional things opus just missed. (not a gpt shill, love opus, but it's complicated)

Unpopular Opinion: you are NOT as old as you feel. You are as old as you function. Your strength & speed IS your age: 20s: 20+ pull-ups & <60s 400m run 30s: 10-19 pull-ups & <75s 400m 40s: 5-9 pull-ups & <90s 400m 50s: 1-4 pull-ups & <120s 400m OLD: 0 pull-ups & 120+s 400m

man claude code has stopped doimg the clear context + auto accept edit when using 1M opus. it just shows auto accept edit now. I AM TOO AFRAID TO USE CLAUDE POST 100K TOKENS, PLEASE LET ME CLEAR CONTEXT AND BEGIN THE PLAN!

(What i do) You can write harnesses using bash script or python, and then call non-interactive `claude -p -bare` instances. For research use cases, I'm guessing you can write research subagent (claude -p) and then evaluate it's work with another subagent, then maybe some self-improving step where it can modify research prompt. The bash script would loop indefinitely. You'd have to constantly review to make sure it's doing what you want tho can use strategies from: Harness Design for Long-Running Apps — anthropic.com/engineering/ha… Effective Harnesses for Long-Running Agents — anthropic.com/engineering/ef… Multi-Agent Research System — anthropic.com/engineering/mu…

what is the best tooling for 24-7 inference/agent-driven research? im trying factory but it stops and asks me questions even though i have 'auto' mode on. tbh i think this is an even bigger killer app than LLM chatbots. who else is out there doing it?

The funniest thing about TurboQuant is that not only is none of it new, every part of what we've implemented is very old. We are just rediscovering tricks video game developers had to use in the 90s. FWHT decorrelation → DCT in JPEG/MPEG decorrelation Lloyd-Max 16-centroid codebook → 256-color palette (VQ codebook) Norm + quantized unit vector → Quake's norm vector table 128-elm blocks with 4-bit indices → S3 texture compression ADC lookup table (VecInfer) → Dot-product LUTs for lighting Per-block scale factor → ADPCM audio (scale per block + quantized residuals)

Evolucumab is a miracle drug. When added to statins, it causes greater plaque regression by decreasing atheroma volume (-0.95% vs +0.05% on statins), increasing fibrous cap thickness (42.7 µm vs 21.5 µm), reducing maximum lipid arc (-57.5° vs -31.4°), decreasing the macrophage index (-3.35 vs -1.43), and lowering Lp(a) by 27%, unlike statins which may increase it.

@AnthropicAI So I'm guessing it can dramatically improve if dedicated RL is done

@AnthropicAI Opus optimizes prompts badly if tasked to do so. It adds way to specific rules to prompt when given several examples. It also tries to add conditions to prompt when it can alternatively outsource such conditions to code.

uhhh @AnthropicAI What if you do RL on building harnesses? anthropic.com/engineering/ha… Train the model to learn robust harness building strategies. Have the model bias towards concepts & tools that improve its performance on extremely long running tasks. Better harness building = much more likely to have maintained coherence in very very long running tasks as model would have learned efficient and robust harness building concepts and strategies.
