An Anthropic engineer literally stopped me at a coffee shop because of what was on my screen. I was sitting at Sightglass running my Polymarket bot. He looked over once. Then again. Then said: “That’s not a normal trading setup.” I told him the whole thing runs on: • Claude Code • 4 open-source repos • $25/month That’s it. He pulled up a chair instantly. “I work on the agent team at Anthropic,” he said. “We stress test Claude for workflows exactly like this.” Then I showed him what the bot was actually doing. 86 MILLION trades analyzed. Every wallet. Every entry. Every exit. Every profitable pattern. One prompt: “Find wallets with 100+ trades and 70%+ win rate. Rank by profit. Export the best ones.” Claude scanned 14,000 wallets in 4 minutes. Returned 47. The top 20 wallets made more money than the other 13,000 combined. He stared at the results and said: “That’s not data analysis. That’s a weapon.” And we were just getting started. Second repo: A Rust CLI scraping 500 live Polymarket markets in minutes. Claude filtered everything automatically: • spread gaps • liquidity depth • timing windows • whale behavior 500 markets became 35. Before I even looked at them. 93% rejected automatically. Then a trade closed live on my screen. +$84. He didn’t even blink. “How does it decide when to enter?” 3 independent AI agents: • arbitrage • convergence • whale-copying No shared memory. 2 agents agree = full position 1 agrees = half size Disagreement = no trade That consensus system alone cut 40% of losing trades. Then he asked the real question: “What about exits?” That’s where it gets stupid. The profitable whales rarely hold to settlement. 91% exit early. So my bot exits BEFORE they do. It takes profit at: • 85% expected move or • unusual volume spikes Basically: It copies smart money… then front-runs their exits. He just sat there staring at the terminal. “How much did you start with?” $200. 27 days ago. Current balance: $14,300. 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe ratio: 2.47. Fully automated. I haven’t touched it in weeks. Before leaving he said: “This is almost identical to the internal scenarios our red team simulates.” Next morning I got an email from him. “Would you be open to speaking with our policy team?” I replied: “The article IS the meeting.” The craziest part? This stack costs less than Netflix. AI is no longer replacing workers. It’s replacing entire hedge funds. Comment “Claude” if you want the framework.

@HockeyThinkTank I think we have to accept that other nations have caught up to Canada, and hockey is truly a global game. The players gave it their best, and sometimes the other team gets a bounce!

@HockeyThinkTank Other nations have focused on development rather than winning at all costs; they understand that devolpment is defined by process over outcome. This leads to a better culture. Also, early specialization in youth sports is causing more injuries and reduced participation.

Thoughts on Team Canada at World Juniors: There's been a lot of discourse today about Canada's performance after bowing out to Czechia again. I've read a lot about roster construction, team toughness, how players were used during the tournament, and other things related to the team's inability to get the job done. These things may have been an issue, but reality is the problem runs way deeper. Here is the biggest thing that people aren't talking about: Canada has WAY fewer youth boys playing hockey than it did a decade ago. Looking at Hockey Canada registration and membership data, it's mind-boggling to see the numbers. And the numbers in the biggest provinces (Ontario and Quebec) are especially egregious. So why is this happening? Hockey is Canada's sport. It shouldn't be like this. It's what we hear every day from families all over North America: Costs are too high. It's professionalized at too young of an age. The stress of the youth hockey experience is too much for kids and families. Community programs have been replaced by for-profit entities leading to higher costs and more pressure. Development has been replaced by super teams and rogue/outlaw leagues outside of Hockey Canada even before kids are 8 years old. At the older ages, hockey academies have become what families believe is the only way their kids will make it - shelling out INSANE amounts of money to send their kids to do so. Ontario just got rid of residency rules which will only lead to less accountability and more club-hopping than there already was in the nation's craziest and biggest youth hockey market. The reason why Canada was the hockey superpower for so long is because it was part of the fabric of the country. There was such a pride and passion for the game and what the game meant to the flag. There was such a sense of playing the game for something bigger than yourself. Now rather than playing for the love of the game, hockey in Canada is like a job for many of these kids in the environment they're being put in. It's less about pride and passion and more about the path to making it. When in all honesty, it's the pride and passion for the game that is the biggest consistency in the kids that do end up making it. If Canada wants to restore its hockey dominance, it better take a long look in the mirror at the grassroots and what is going on in youth hockey. If you have tens of thousands of fewer boys playing the game, you should probably look at that first. The bigger your pool of athletes, the more elite athletes you can develop. "As many as possible, for as long as possible, in the best environment possible". That has to be the guiding principle. There's a lot of great people in Canada doing incredible things for the game, but the system itself is fundamentally broken. If Hockey Canada is serious about getting back to the top, it has to start at the bottom.

@Eags37 Many highly skilled players who focus on one side of the puck tend to create numerous turnovers and poor outlet passes, and are now gaining more opportunities than well-rounded, two-way players. Hockey IQ distinguishes good players from elite players.

@aaditsh AI

Perplexity just quietly dropped a 42-page internal guide on how they actually use AI at work. What I found most useful: → How they automate the small stuff. Email, meeting prep, research (all done by AI) → Using AI to amplify your curiosity, not replace it. → Their prompting playbook is simple, practical, and genuinely good. Comment “AI” and I’ll send it to you for free.

@adamyounggolf Road

Too cold/dark to play #golf today? Grab a cup of coffee and watch my 20 minute webinar "The Road to Scratch". Just say "ROAD" and I'll DM it to you

@BBGreatMoments earning your playing time is a function of skills, seniority, and work ethic. The problem is that most coaches don’t communicate to their players the standards or the roles and expectations needed to facilitate playing time. No one likes to sit, great coaches, communicate roles!

Every parent, coach and player should listen to this. Maybe listen twice just to let it sink in.

@CraigLoughry #carryyourownbag!

Did not have golf, handicapping and club championships making it in the Presidential Debate on my bingo card tonight. #golf #clubchamp

@CoachRevak Dot support structure exposes weakness in teams' Dzone coverage that creates these opportunities!

Underhandle

@suihkonen77 Cannot wait!!

@cliftonsellers Ai

@Laddy6 Great group in that picture, did not thing Jimmy V ate wings lol.

@DRich1020 So true, allow players to play within the structure of their Instincts, It builds their confidence, and a team with confidence competes every night!

Love it Coach St. Louis! This is what we are trying to teach our players at the 12U level. Having structure within concepts and making reads. Don’t box players into systems!

@CraigLoughry A new country to live in?

I’m running out to buy a whack of toilet paper. Are there any other panic items I should grab?

@ryanwhitney6 Whoever is the head of the @IIHFHockey should resign after the debacle with the woman’s and now the men’s world juniors, #Resign

Double vax and booster no symptoms and tourney cancelled. Embarsssing.

Being outside is safe, and absolutely critical for mental and physical health. #GetOntarioOutside #LetUsPlay

@erinotoole any chance you had at winning the federal election is being destroyed by @fordnation inability to open outdoor activities. #ontariolockdown #lostchance #losingvotes

Tell me there is not a bias against golf! People can take crowded public transportation to a park and sit in painted circles that are 50 sq ft in size with 2 others. Yet I can’t drive alone in my car and go play golf where 120 people share over 4,356,000 sq ft.
