Start of something new?

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

McConaughey just stumbled into the most studied result in game theory and presented it as a hunch about being a good neighbor.

In 1980, a Michigan political scientist named Robert Axelrod ran a tournament. He invited mathematicians and economists to submit strategies for a game where you repeatedly choose to cooperate with someone or screw them over. Fourteen entries, some hundreds of lines of code. The one that won was four lines: cooperate on the first move, then copy whatever the other person just did.

He ran it again with 62 entries, everyone knowing it had already won. Nobody could beat it.

The traits that made it win: never defect first, punish defection, forgive fast, stay predictable. "Slowed down, let her in" is line one of that program.

Here is the part Matthew got right without knowing the math. The reason cooperating first wins, and doesn't just feel nice, comes down to what theorists call the shadow of the future. Be generous to a stranger you'll never see again and you eat the cost for nothing. Be generous to someone you'll keep running into and the move pays itself back across every interaction left to come.

He thought he was playing a one-shot game with an anonymous driver on a highway. He was playing a repeated game with a neighbor. Same road every day, same faces, decades in front of both of them.

That is why the favor returned in 15 minutes, and why it keeps returning. A highway full of strangers looks like the one place generosity gets wasted. In a small enough world there are no strangers, only people who haven't repaid you yet.

Anthropic engineer:

"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."

this is one of the best workflows I've seen in a long time

in this video he breaks down exactly how most people are using Claude:

- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the plugins that 95% of users have never installed
- the caching setup that keeps it at 95% hit rate and almost free
- why starting every chat from zero is the slowest way to use Claude

if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you've been using one project when you could be running a team of them

instead of another show tonight, watch this

Oh hell yes

[CodeBlue @codebluenews]

If medical officers are held accountable for non-compliance, then administrative systems and those responsible for them must also be held to a similar standard. This requires meaningful corrective action that reflects the seriousness of the oversight.

🚨 MEHDI: You’re not a professor.

JIANG: People call me that.

MEHDI: Your channel says it.

JIANG: Someone calls himself The God online.

MEHDI: No one believes he’s God. But people believe you’re a professor.

THAT’S WHERE MEHDI HASAN STANDS OUT.

[Real-1 @OnlyRealLeft]

@sharma_views You can be knowledgeable without being a professor, but if you call yourself "Professor" and give lectures playing into it, then get called out for not actually being one and respond with, "Well people call themselves God and they’re not God" that just sounds disingenuous.

Me: maybe Israel didn’t do it

Bibi: Israel didn’t do it

Me: ok maybe Israel did do it

[ThePatrioticBlonde™🇺🇸 @ImBreckWorsham]

When Netanyahu speaks for 2 minutes about how Israel did not kill Charlie Kirk, it LITERALLY means Israel killed Charlie Kirk.

Racial issues in Malaysia have become tit for tat. When local councils tear down illegal Malay stalls, people say ‘They wouldn’t dare with the Chinese’. When those dumb radio DJs sought forgiveness at Batu Caves, people ask why Harith didn’t have to apologise at Masjid Negara.
