intelligence is the one which removes suffering. If suffering is not removed it's not intelligence.

Live from Code with Claude London: we're launching self-hosted sandboxes (public beta) and MCP tunnels (research preview) in Claude Managed Agents. Run agents inside your own perimeter, with your security controls applied by default.

"Until death, all defeat is psychological." - Marcus Aurelius Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up. Refuse it. Rise from the dead 1000 times. Commit to never stay down & never give up. Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.

Terence Tao says the math behind today’s LLMs is actually simple. Training and running them mostly uses linear algebra, matrix multiplication, and a bit of calculus, material an undergraduate can handle. We understand how to build and operate these models. The real mystery is why they work so well on some tasks and fail on others, and why we cannot predict that in advance. We lack good rules for forecasting performance across tasks, so progress is largely empirical. A key reason is the nature of real-world data. Pure noise is well understood, perfectly structured data is well understood, but natural text sits in between, partly structured and partly random. Mathematics for that middle regime is thin, similar to how physics struggles at meso-scales between atoms and continua. Because of this gap, we can describe the mechanisms but cannot yet explain capability jumps or give reliable task-level predictions. That mismatch, simple machinery versus hard-to-predict behavior, is the core puzzle. ---- Video from 'Dr Brian Keating' YT Channel (Link in comment)

@KynaKosling @DanZanger digging into it. I am slow learner and believe on digesting stuff rather than just finishing the reads. But very happy to get it through first time. offcourse, I took my notes where I have to improve in mindset and in actions.

@atechiethought @DanZanger Hope you find it valuable!

I did a deep dive into @DanZanger. Not the kind with lots of zeroes and the implication that Dan has a “magic formula” you can copy. But the kind that looks beyond the surface layer. That doesn’t accept answers at face value. That wants to figure out what causes apparent contradictions. That doesn’t just want to know *what* Dan does, but *why*. The kind that gets to the ESSENCE of the strategy: What makes it work? What are the foundational ideas that underpin it? As I put the pieces together, it became increasingly clear to me that you can trace the most striking elements of Dan’s style to his hard-earned lessons and personality. Because his strategy — just like anyone else’s — isn’t perfect. …which makes the interesting question: how did he make it so potent anyway? *** This article is NOT for you if you’re looking for quick answers and shortcuts. But if you’re looking for depth, I may have just made your day: *** The Nuances Behind Dan Zanger How the story shapes the strategy 🔗 tinyurl.com/4t9xf4h9

Anthropic a publié une Formation complet de 2 HEURES sur la construction d'agents Claude. Animé par l'ingénieur qui construit Claude Code. Gardez-la précieusement en Signet🔖 de A à Z : Structurer un agent qui se gère sans supervision. Lui donner accès au terminal pour exécuter, lire, corriger. Gérer sa mémoire via le système de fichiers. Bloquer les hallucinations avec des Hooks. Faire tourner un agent sur un gros codebase sans tout casser. À la fin : vous utilisez Claude comme un pro et vous monétisez vos compétences. Débutant ou avancé, tout est là en un seul endroit, ce cours couvre tout. Ça vaut plus que tous les cours à 500$ que t’as failli acheter.

I am studying from last couple of Months and I can read all signs of silent preparations of Agentic commerce by Stripe, Shopify and AWS. Be ready to order via your agent. Agentic commerce is next big thing. #genai #agents #ecommerce #insights

We're going to spill all the beans next week. Myself and @darraghcurran (and some special guests!) are doing a webinar about our use of AI and how we 2x'ed R&D at Intercom. We'll be going deeper than we've ever gone before :) - link in the comments, as is tradition.

How do you keep Claude working until the job is done? Claude Code helps with this in a few ways, including one we shipped recently: /goal.

PEADS or Post Earnings Announcement Drift or SUE (Standardized Unexpected Earnings) is a structural tendency of the market where stocks with surprisingly good or bad earnings move in the direction of those earnings for the next few months or quarters.

Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market. "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void. That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid. It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless. Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid." There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400+ per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts. This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.

@brian_scanlan Riding on the wave!

I *feel* this awesome blog post about operations.

@mwebster1971 @MikeAsh007 Sirs, you guys such an inspiration! Thank you from bottom of my heart for doing g this conversation and specifically greatly appreciate blessings and people on my life. ❤️

@MikeAsh007 Yes he did

Justin wrote a MUST READ masterpiece👇 We should all be eternally grateful that Bill decided to take a HUGE chunk of his fortune & risked it to build something to help all of US! Not smart from a business standpoint (just keeping it real😉) as his TIME & money would have been better spent running a hedge fund…if he was just try to make more money… But IMO money wasn’t what motivated Bill…after his early success he had more than he needed to get by. He’d often tell me when the subject of money came up… “Mike, you can only eat one steak at a time (yes, he’d often forget I’m a vegetarian🤣) & we all put our pants on one leg at a time” IMO he was trying to do two things! 1. Figure out the hardest game in the world (the stock market) something he continued to do daily until his retirement 2. Sharing what he discovered with as many people as possible! Happy 40th ANNIVERSARY IBD @IBDinvestors @IBD_JNielsen

WRO #70 is out! Mike Ash tells his horrifying story of becoming a quadriplegic! & his amazing recovery story that will change the way you look at will power forever!❤️ WRO #70 Reframing Tragedy, a VERY Special Hangin’ Out with Mike Ash youtu.be/ufld6tUm9n0?si… via @YouTube

@mwebster1971 @YouTube Going through the interview of Mike Ash. It seems he is mountain Everest of mind strength!! Oh man thank you for bringing him and such amazing people to the conversation ❤️

The NSA spent billions trying to break encryption. One German programmer beat them. He earned only $25k a year. 🤯 Meet Werner Koch 🇩🇪 > German free software developer. Born 1961 in Düsseldorf. > 1997 ~ Richard Stallman called for a free encryption tool. > Only option then: closed-source, US-restricted PGP. > Werner answered. He built GnuPG (GPG) alone — free software to encrypt files, sign software, and verify identity. > 1999 ~ Released GPG 1.0. Fully open source. No restrictions. > Today his code verifies every Linux server update, every Debian package, every Tor Browser download on Earth. > Every signed Linux release depends on it. > Used by activists, dissidents, and security pros worldwide to stay untracked. > Edward Snowden used GPG in 2013 to leak NSA documents. It held up against the world’s most powerful spy agency. 🚀 > 2001 ~ Founded g10code with his brother to work full-time on GPG. > Earned $25,000/year for 14 years while supporting his wife and daughter. > 2012 ~ Funding ended. He had to let go of his only programmer. > 2013 ~ He was the sole maintainer and nearly quit. > 2015 ~ ProPublica story dropped. Internet donated $137k in 24 hours. > Facebook + Stripe pledged $50k/year each. Linux Foundation gave $60k. > Won FSF Award for the Advancement of Free Software. > Today he still maintains GPG from his home in Erkrath, Germany. One man kept the internet’s secrets, secret. The world almost lost him in 2013. His code still protects yours. Privacy GOAT. 🐐
