I've completed AGI Strategy with BlueDot Impact! bluedot.org/certification?…

@polymath_james it was 👀

@handzelmatt Would be even more impressive if it wasn’t Claude but instead Claude Code lmao

Claude correctly diagnosed me with low iron I've been writing more in detail about my sleep and how I feel on runs Over the course of a week it analyzed these entries and suggested I get a ferritin test Got my test results back today and I'm deficient

I've developed the unique skill of being incredibly sharp in meetings that don't matter, and a half-zombified wreck when surrounded by people who actually do. Bodes well.

Another use of having a second brain: I'm doing applications and one question it asks is "Whose voice should carry more weight in the technology ecosystem than it does today?". To answer this question, I go to my `people-i-admire` document, choose someone, and write about them.

I'm working on a clone of rewind.ai but making it open source. github.com/MattHandzel/li… Use case: I got an email saying I didn't fill out a form but I remember doing so. I sent a screenshot of the form filled out and got it resolved

You can use Terminus to control a Claude code instance on your remote server from your phone, you can check on the little guy in the brief moments of boredom

I was surprised that the barrier to entry to do _something_ novel in LLM interpretability research is actually quite low. It maybe costs maybe at most $100 renting an A100 on runpod

When I dance, it makes me feel like a Pebblesorter lesswrong.com/posts/mMBTPTjR…

@romanbuildsaas howd you make the video?

Today, we’re releasing Claude Code for outreach. It does a salesperson’s work in minutes by detecting buying signals, qualifying leads, and booking demos like a human would. You will never have to worry about booking demos… ever again:

@TJThomps wow! very unintuitive. does this model say anything regarding other therapies that aren't lifestyle factors? Specifically, I'm interested in IHT. Does it point to any specific longevity therapies

Based on the SR model of aging, lifestyle factors will only increase average lifespan slightly. Maximal lifespan will NOT increase above 120 with lifestyle. Assume the bottom green line is the population curve in 1900. Medicine, nutrition, etc. Move the survival curve to the middle Green line. Lifestyle changes may be able to shift the green curve to the red survival curve, but people will still roughly die around the same time. Slight improvements, but thats all. Quality of life will improve with lifestyle. That is all.

Does lifestyle actually matter? ❌Population Lifespan: No, lifestyle will not significantly increase lifespan. ✅Individual Lifespan: Yes, lifestyle could increase your lifespan. 1. A healthy lifestyle may help you avoid a life shortening disease (diabetes) or event (heart attack). 2. Healthspan will improve with a health lifestyle. You will live healthier and die more quickly.

@handzelmatt Less than 6 ft... not interested. 😂

major updates to website :)

That's right folks! It's JPM week, SF's biggest biotech event of the year. Here's our guide to some of the top events of the week (that you can still get into) 🧵

In this case, the humans making the evals did not see the work-around and thus this eval failed. When upgrading models, are you finding that some previous evals failed because the Claude Opus 4.5 is just better? anthropic.com/news/claude-op…

@patrickified pick the decision you will regret the least in the future. will you regret the leap or the sacrifice required for the leap more?

28, no kids, minimal responsibilities, and I’m at a career crossroads: stable $75-80k analyst job with benefits or a leap into an AI startup with equity and big future potential but lower pay now. Any advice? 🙏 #CareerAdvice #StartupLife

@askalphaxiv saying this is 3x better than RAG is cringe since you're comparing it to Naive RAG. would prefer better baselines to see the impact of your training loop and environment setup.

Train your own deep research agent in under a day Agent-R1 uses RL to teach agents proper tool use over multi-turn interactions, achieving 3x better performance than RAG We provide a step-by-step tutorial of the work: MDP extensions, action masking, and more. See below!
