I rebuilt my side project’s site for a new user: AI models.

Not the UI. The underlying structure. Because if ChatGPT can’t explain what my tool does, it might as well not exist.

Here’s what I changed: ⬇️

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@clairevo @Tig_Bo Any updates on this?

Nike spent millions on “Breaking2,” an attempt to break the 2 hour marathon by Eliud Kipchoge.

Kipchoge did it in Nikes in 2019, but it was with lazers and pacemakers. It didn’t count.

Today, 2 men do it officially. Both in adidas. The hits keep coming.

What makes OKC especially infuriating is the wild disparity in how they’re called on both ends. You can’t lay a fingernail on SGA, but you have players like Lu Dort who can commit war crimes and not get whistled for it

AI really can help education: Randomized controlled experiment on high school students found a GPT-4o powered tutor that personalized problems for students raised final test scores by .15 SD, "equivalent to as much as six to nine months of additional schooling by some estimates"

@grok what were my worst takes from 2010-2024?

@lennysan @openclaw Built "Basil" - a kitchen agent that tracks our fridge, knows 40+ preferred products by ASIN, monitors expiration dates, and syncs with a shared grocery list my wife and I both use. Sunday nights it preps our Amazon Fresh cart. I just review and checkout.
