@garrytan How do you see this applying to coding agents specifically? E.g. if the error is "you used the wrong slider control, you should have used the one in the components/ directory", it doesn't seem like a deterministic script is really the solution.

I finally figured out a use case for NFTs. Use them to deliver chain of custody proofs for artisanally hand coded software.

Reading @bfeld’s excellent new book with a hell of a view #givefirst. I’m especially loving the stories.

Low-polyamory for @tferriss @kevinrose

@thepatwalls 4/4 - Sales Sleuth - research a sales lead before we call them

This could be fun. Please comment on this thread with a recent "AI agent" you deployed, what it does, and how you built it. DO NOT SPAM YOUR AI AGENT STARTUPS. I want to hear how people are ACTUALLY using AI agents to improve their life / save time / make more money.

@thepatwalls 3/N - PR Bot - review pitch requests, find ones relevant to Glowforge, write the outreach Number Cruncher - chat with our Netsuite finance data Lumina - watch cameras on our factory line for safety, efficiency, and ergonomic opportunities

@thepatwalls 2/N - Dolly Grip - all image generators in one UI Search Superstar - in-house version of deep research, light and less verbose Brainstormer - think of many options for any problem Postmortemer - given all the documents, emails, slack convos write postmortem for an incident

@thepatwalls 1/N - We've been very busy at @glowforge - a few examples: Ringmaster - review sales call transcripts and coach our reps Ringmaster Query - sales manager too to evaluate a database full of transcripts and generate detailed ad hoc reports Legal Beagle - writes briefs for our GC

People keep saying, "The hottest new programming is English." The corollary is that Python/JavaScript/C++/ whatever, is the new assembly language.

@KurtisBlow1 you saved my day. Crabby AF. Prescription: Rappin Blow, The Breaks, Christmas Rappin, Way Out West. All better.

This is the dawning of the age of Barkevious @keke_mingo

@DrAndyGalpin I hear you joking about deadlift tabatas, but what do you think about kettlebell swing tabatas, at a weight where I'm gassed after round 8 but able to maintain form?

All of this and more is described in detail in the third episode of my podcast, Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin. I also share a full 8-week training plan for building VO2 Max (thank you, Joel Jamieson) and a full 50-day marathon training plan (thank you, Dan Garner & @MarkSmellyBell).

For most, it's effective to divide training into 3 zones — typically these are determined off maximum heart rate (MHR), but can also be determined by perceived effort If you don't know your maximum or peak heart rate, it can be estimated by subtracting your age from 220 75% of training should be at 60-80% MHR or moderate effort 20% of training should be at 80-90% MHR or moderate-hard effort 5% of training should be at 90%+ MHR or hard-very hard effort

. @hubermanlab I understand that daylight might be 100k lux and my house might be 2k - but doesn't our iris adjust so the retina gets about the same amount of light either way? How does the SCN even know the actual number of photons?

. @DrAndyGalpin in a 3x5 workout done for strength, what is the indicator to add more weight next session?

@emollick Makes a lot of intuitive sense. It is going to be way easier to improve my jump shot than @StephenCurry30 's.

AI as Great Leveler? An emerging theme in recent controlled studies on AI: it turns low-performers into good performers. ✍️In writing tasks, bad writers become solid 🧠In creativity tasks, it helps those with lower initial creativity 🧑‍⚖️In law writing, it elevates low performers

. @tferriss I heard you and @bgurley reference "strong opinions, loosely held" at @sxsw. I was 10000% on SOLH for most of my life, but have totally changed my my mind: medium.com/swlh/strong-op…

This is what we've been working on at @glowforge for the past couple of years. I'm so excited to finally be able to talk about it! Aura is awesome, it is going to open the world of user-friendly craft lasers to millions more people. youtube.com/watch?v=k2kdLr… #glowforgeaura
