Accelerating towards better outcomes.

Made an introductory 📕(draft) about using Python for Bayesian Inference and unifying narrative, math, and code. People seem to find it helpful. Check it out. Feedback encouraged.

A very useful report on how AI is affecting student learning at MIT.

I like this term cognitive surrender, "where students fall back on AI at the first hint of struggle."

We need to encourage undergrads (and all humans) to recognize this pattern and resist it.

@firesidealpha Predicting the future is hard, even for those closest to future-shaping technologies.

[Dan Goldstein @dggoldst]

The thing about prediction markets is that they work

@ole_b_peters Movements take time. Keep at it!

I use your canonical coin-flip bet in my simulation class because it’s so wonderfully counterintuitive that a positive expected-value bet can produce such poor outcomes over time.

My wife, @reardon_md, went viral with the below video... 2.3 MILLION views on Instagram so far!! 📷 Food is medicine and Dr. Erin is on the forefront of how and why that works.📷https://t.co/gyneTjVE8y

As @emollick noted this morning, we’re not being ambitious enough with how we use LLMs. At their best, they represent “applied learning in the extreme.” That framing feels exactly right.

@harryjwang Ideas only get sharper when they hit reality. Thx for being UD's person-in-the-arena; bringing us news from the frontlines of the AI world we now inhabit.

Very excited to announce that the #BayesianWorkflow book by @StatModeling, @avehtari, @rlmcelreath et al publishes in June! https://t.co/srs8cpBmxK #RStats #DataScience #Bayesian @mcmc_stan

@aiseomastery SE's need to start fueling for sustained energy, like some type of brain athlete. I can code 16 hours straight with AI with the proper diet... Jevon's paradox is real for me. Fixed Nation with Dr. Erin or Jason Fung's Hunger Code book are great places to start.

[Adam Fleischhacker PhD, MBA @preposterior]

Keep levelling up your AI toolkit by using and writing skills.

@drjasonfung Congrats!! Your such a trustworthy source for actionable health info. This is sooooo appreciated 🙏

Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"

Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.

He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."

31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."

The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

This question is fun and the answer about mindset is fabulous. Reflect and tinker.

[Erwan Le Corre @ErwanLeCorre]

This is what an EXCEPTIONAL mindset thinks like and sounds like.

So impressive from a 22 years old.

Not only you CAN control what you think, and how you think it and why, but you SHOULD.

See your mind as a skill and practice it as such.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

@BoringBiz_ People love to say that "smart" people fail...but a cardiologist just placed 3rd out of 13,000 at Anthropic’s hackathon.

Smart + the right Initiative is insane leverage & where breakthroughs will come from...don't buy the hype.

Claude Code isn’t just for writing code. Our new post shows how to use it as a lightweight agentic workflow library, going from messy ideas to working agents in a single session, without setting up a full framework first.

@aakashgupta Not sure why my brain didn't think of continuing to use Cursor as the IDE with Claude Code. Is that what people do? Thought it would be VS-Code for some reason.

Feels like Simpson’s paradox

[Adam Fleischhacker PhD, MBA @preposterior]

Two things changed me: hearing Josh Waitzkin on The Tim Ferriss Show, and going low-carb.

Best of luck, @TheGregYang. If you want a keto-friendly support crew, my wife Dr. Erin (ER physician and metabolic specialist) and I built an app (Emergency Health Fix) that connects members, coaches, and Erin’s guidance. Next cohort starts Feb 5 (paid), but Carbie AI is free. Snap a meal photo and it will flag what to watch for.

Vibe coding is the new product management.

Training and tuning models is the new coding.
