What changing the weights of your words can actually look like - despite everyone else around you saying that you are delusional. "Matty this is beautifully written! You have touched on some of the elements I find hardest about this condition" "So well written and your digital hug is welcomed, thank you. As someone who two years ago was experiencing over 30,000 PVCs a day (that would be 10 million a year!) and even now around 10,000 a day I recognize first that physical struggle. Literally nobody gets how hard this disease can be" "Well done. A great piece on an inner journey of self awareness. Bravo for taking ownership and letting the world know ‘THIS SUCKS!!!’" "You are the very definition of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’." "Very relatable. I have been humbled by the many times I thought I could "show up" for family or friends, only to find myself feeling like an enfeebled old man, needing to sit and rest for hours or days" "Thank you for writing this, I really hit home as I fight off the tears. I am only a week and I bit into this diagnoses and I am fed up, tired, exhausted and frustrated." "This is outstanding man! Thank you so much for this. I've shown this to my wife so she could grasp what we go through with this issue. I'd like to show this to a doctor, but I don't think they would care much unfortunately." "I am so glad to see this article. I saved your last one you posted in my notes app and it helped me immensely during my last PVC/PAC storm a couple weeks ago. You have seamlessly integrated all of my (obsessive) research about what we are experiencing into a short, comprehensible article. Keep writing and thank you for what you’re doing!" "Wow, thank you so much for sharing your incredible story. This gives me hope" "You are very brave and kind to share this and although I don’t know you I’m proud of you!" "I find your posts have been and are so incredibly helpful. No one should ignore arrhythmia - it may often be reported as 'benign' but rarely is in reality. Greatly appreciated." "As you point out, arrhythmia isn't really about the level of burden but the individual impact. No one should minimize that." "This made me cry. So beautiful and heartbreaking. I have an ablation next month and am sitting here feeling my irregular heart. Your post gave me strength." "I’m so glad I found your posts. You write articulately and so truthfully about truths that are hard to explain to anyone who has not fried their nervous system by having to be on constant lookout for the bear." "Man!! You said it all! Arrhythmia sucks!! And I’ve dealt for 37 years! I was at the point of giving up just like you. But I’ve finally found a doctor that believes that it’s NOT “just arrhythmias”! I’m so sorry you had to face all this but I’m so glad that you didn’t give up! YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!" "Your story is extremely powerful. I can't thank you enough for sharing it. As strange as it sounds, it's nice to know theres other people who go through this crap. My story/symptoms are not at your level but I can say it's not fun at all." "Your post gave me hope and I pray that you heal soon with this bullshit." "Man, I almost cried reading through this. I wish someone around me understood this. I have talked to a few friends of mine about this and all I got was that I’m thinking too much and just get over with it, the more I think the more I would feel or its all in my head. To the @escardio and @American_Heart - the consensus statements on integrating psychological and cardiac care - they are very much appreciated and at the same time they are long overdue. The last time I spoke with my EP's office about psychological care adjunct to my own cardiac arrhythmia treatment - the response I received was "There is a guy in Colorado..." Action is what is required - because people are suffering more than they need to be. We can help them through simply words alone - and we should.

@clarefinds By not failing.

You have $0 for marketing. Your product just launched. How will you get users?

Marc gets it. I am not going to be eating the bugs. As will none of my kin.

@IntCyberDigest How you do not include OneDrive here is a travesty of journalism

Dear US government, Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people: - Microsoft Teams - SAP - Salesforce - Jira - Outlook Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

@toly Let those emdashes breathe comrade

Comrades, Behold the midwit intelligentsia, the petty-bourgeois clerisy who mistake moralistic sloganeering for a material analysis of society. To call them the gravediggers of the revolution would be an insult to the gravediggers themselves—whose cracked hands at least bear the marks of living labor, the only force on earth capable of producing surplus from dead labor. They produce nothing but speeches, resolutions, and PowerPoints—pure ideological froth. Had they understood even a page of Capital, they would have left the faculty lounge and learned engineering, metallurgy, or logistics—disciplines that actually expand the productive forces of society. For the emancipation of the many requires not the taxation of wealth, but the elevation of the productive powers that make wealth possible at all. They crow “tax the rich,” as though the redistribution of coin solves the contradiction between capital and labor. They confuse capital with mere money, and thus imagine that by shifting numbers between ledgers they have transformed the relations of production. In truth, they merely grope at the symptoms while preserving the disease. Elon, for all his bourgeois illusions, at least grasps the material truth: factories, machines, and processes—constant capital—must be improved, expanded, and transformed to raise the surplus generated by each worker. His factories produce Teslas. These people produce…press releases about imaginary charging stations. The gulf between them is the gulf between production and performance, between use-value and empty rhetoric. Their only purpose is political self-preservation. Bureaucrats without a base, tribunes without a class, they must postpone the revolution indefinitely, for a revolution would render them obsolete. What use has the working class for professional PowerPoint-makers? For pamphleteers who have never set foot near a lathe, a forge, or a supply chain? If one must choose, better the capitalist who builds productive forces than the petty-bourgeois moralist who lives parasitically upon them. For the former inadvertently prepares the material basis of socialism, while the latter is a parasite that destroys it.

Nobody has to be the villain for the outcome to be poor. To be certain - I think many different perspectives would characterize the American healthcare system as broken. Not here to say that. It certainly does have its failure points and these are largely due to the incentive structures that underlay the system. The failure points can be resolved but it takes identifying them to start the work. I don't know all of them. I do know many of them. I'll be offering some thoughts on the ones I do know.

@DeryaTR_ @DarioAmodei @AnthropicAI Which part of AI 2027 are we in now?

Happy now, @DarioAmodei? You got your wish for government regulation after constant fearmongering to slow AI progress. @AnthropicAI has done tremendous damage to AI advancement; they succeeded in realizing this nightmare scenario. It’s a sad & grave day for America & humanity.

@toly @JWalters314

Acktually comrade, the only way to lift people out of poverty is by producing a profit somewhere aka an economic surplus. If we want people to not starve, some farm somewhere has to grow more food than the workers eat. The surplus is the profit of the farm. The paper value of the farm is capital, that is the best way we can measure the expected future extra food the farm will grow. The wealth it will deliver to the world that will actually pull people out of poverty. The SpaceX rockets and the Tesla cars are the wealth. Redistribution of capital doesn’t redistribute wealth. If we double the SpaceX shares regardless of how they are distributed the total wealth in the world hasn’t changed. If we double the rockets, the total wealth has clearly increased. If Warren wants people to have more wealth maybe she and senders can actually start by more homes? But that would mean actually being held accountable for delivering something.

This is a fake comparison. SpaceX did not “lift America out of poverty.” It created paper millionaires for people close enough to the equity structure. That is not the same thing. An IPO or liquidity event can absolutely make employees rich. Good for them. But that proves ownership works for people who are allowed into the ownership pool. It does not prove the economic system works for everyone else. SpaceX’s value was not created in a vacuum by Elon handing out magic capitalism dust. It rests on NASA contracts, defense spending, public research, launch infrastructure, regulatory protection, tax law, capital markets, public procurement, engineers, technicians, welders, logistics workers, and years of investor tolerance. So when someone says, “SpaceX created thousands of millionaires,” the honest translation is: A public-private, state-backed, capital-market-driven company had a massive equity event, and people close to the cap table became rich. Fine. But that is not a rebuttal to Warren. Warren’s job is not to mint millionaires through stock options. Her political argument is about wages, consumer protection, bankruptcy rules, health care costs, student debt, corporate power, taxation, and whether ordinary workers get a fair deal. Saying “Elon created millionaires and Warren did not” is like saying a casino jackpot did more for one gambler than food stamps did for a hungry family. It confuses concentrated upside with broad public welfare. The real question is not whether 4,000 or 5,000 SpaceX insiders became millionaires. The question is why America treats that as a civilization-level achievement while millions of workers still cannot afford housing, health care, child care, retirement, or a few months without a paycheck. That is the propaganda move. Turn rare proximity to capital into proof that the system works. Then tell everyone outside the cap table to applaud.

@RobertMSterling Stay based.

Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. They’re driving Brink’s trucks loaded up with cash to his house as we speak. He took all the money from the rest of us and they’re just letting him get away with it. It’s an outrage. I’m shaking with righteous anger.

@toly @McFaul Bro doesn't even get how easy it is to drop a billion tokenmaxxing an agent swarm straight dominating prediction markets...

@McFaul He doesn’t have a trillion dollars to spend. He has shares of a company he manages 🤦‍♂️

@millerman Indeed it is. Indeed it is.

Intelligence is a national security threat

@pmarca Let those emdashes breathe player - respect the game.

If, when you say regulation, you mean the dead and clammy hand of the commissar—the gentleman who has never in his life built a single thing, drafting rules to govern a thing he cannot define, to be enforced by men who cannot read them; if you mean the form in triplicate, the impact assessment upon the impact assessment, the compliance officer who breeds, in the warm dark of the org chart, further compliance officers unto the third and fourth generation; if you mean the moat—the deep cold moat that the giant digs around his own castle and christens, with a perfectly straight face, public safety—the drawbridge he hauls up behind himself the very instant he is across, lest any hungrier and hungrier man should follow; if you mean the precautionary principle, which, had it governed our grandfathers, would have banned the wheel pending further study of the hill, and left us yet shivering and raw in the mouth of the cave, blessing its excellent ventilation; if you mean the European disease—that magnificent open-air museum of a continent, which produces in our time precisely two things in great abundance, and they are regulation, and the eloquent and well-footnoted regret of cultivated men explaining at length why they have produced nothing else; if you mean the license required to think, the permission slip for honest arithmetic, the king’s wax stamp pressed upon the forehead of every new idea before it may draw its first breath; if you mean the agency dispatched, with trumpets, to slay a single dragon, which arrives at the cave, surveys the accommodations, and moves in—and spends the ensuing century laying eggs and devouring the very villagers it was sworn to defend; if you mean the startup that perishes not of the market’s honest verdict but of the filing fee, the genius decamping by the next tide to a freer and warmer shore; if you mean the law that arrives, faithful as the swallows, exactly one whole epoch too late—helmeted, plumed, and magnificently armed—to regulate the stagecoach—then certainly, my friends, I am against it. But—but, my friends—if, when you say regulation, you mean instead the humble steel guardrail upon the mountain road at midnight, the very thing you curse on the easy days and bless on your knees the one night the fog comes down; if you mean the brakes—for it is the brakes, and not the engine alone, that permit a sane man to drive fast and yet arrive alive—and the buttress, without which no cathedral was ever flung so high, but only in spite of which, but because of which; if you mean the meat inspector, who is the single homely reason a man may eat a sausage in this republic without first composing his last will and testament; if you mean the firebreak cut clean through the forest before the dry season of the burning, the smallpox cordon, the buoy that marks the channel, the rule of the road that lets ten thousand strangers hurtle past one another in the dark at fearful speed and arrive, by its quiet grace, every one of them home; if you mean the honest scale and the true weight, the reason a pound is a pound and a dollar a dollar from Natchez to Nome; if you mean the firm and decent wall between the counterfeit voice and the widow’s bank account, between the deepfaked candidate and the ballot box on the eve of the vote, between the loosed and loveless machine and the schoolyard it neither knows nor pities; if you mean the simple plank of law that says the strong shall not, in the gray dawn, feed the weak quietly into the furnace and sell the rising smoke as progress; if you mean, in the end, the one slender thread of trust without which no citizen will ever dare to use the marvelous thing at all—for where there is no rule there is no trust, and where there is no trust there is no commerce, and a miracle that no man dares to touch is no miracle, but only a handsome and expensive ghost—then certainly I am for it. This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise one inch of it.

Someone wrote me a reply a while back - said to me "Every part of healthcare needs an advocate like this" So I said. Bet.

I just hope we name ASI Lady Galadriel - that is all I am asking. Anduril and the legion of autonomous war fighters will keep us safe. Palantir as the seeing eye of Sauron - just to make sure nobody steps out of line. Completing the trifecta - Lady Galadriel. Mother ASI. And so it is written.

crazy how the fate of the free world is being steered by terminally online schizoids at home in their pj's high on drugs and so deep into an AI psychosis rabbit hole thinking they are communing with a machine god that they actually become a national security risk

Game on. Full send.

If you build it, they will come. That is for Field of Dreams. Founder mode = Make them come, then build it.

Preach this man. Starlink - transformative tech. Reusable rockets - how many others failed at that? Tesla - Everyone said it couldn't be done. "If I was a trillionaire...." Blah blah blah you aren't - so you don't get the liberty of saying what you would do with the money when you don't have shareholders breathing down your neck and a truly all-timer reckless founder mode.

Even if Elon had it in cash and not shares he isn’t hoarding food or mri machines or glps or houses. That stuff has to be created and then delivered to the consumer, and at a rate to cover a lifetime of consumption. All the people to do it have to be paid, all the commodities and machines to consume them have to use energy. The only thing you would do is cause inflation, because there isn’t enough stuff in the world at any given moment. The irony is that if the world had 500 more trillionaires then on average global productivity would be 2x higher and all the things you want for the world would require half the work to deliver.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

@RealJackPoor No matter what - stay unemployed. It is the only way.

I invested in crypto, it crashed. Moved to stocks, they crashed. Bought gold for safety, it crashed. So how exactly are we supposed to make money the rest of the year?

@AnthropicAI My own tax dollars just took my favorite toy to play with. @WhiteHouse - I want my money back and if you have to get it back from Somalia than so be it.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Two sides to every equation. The institution of academia is also responsible for allowing bias to influence what is published - and shielding bias by credential. LLMs outputs should never be relied on exclusively and they need always be used with discernment and some measure of domain expertise. But where current LLMs thrive in research is in combination with tool calls. The ability to define methods of data analysis and further have them validated - on very large data sets - has never been possible before. Studies that would have taken months - and teams - they can be performed in hours. And whereas LLM outputs can be loaded with bias and hallucinations - computational analysis - still generated by frontier LLMs with modern tool calls - is where I find the most value in AI driven research
