a very large percentage of US doctors are using LLMs all the time, esp for quick research
because it’s effective and efficient to do so

Yes it's impressive, no it should not replace your doctor (yet?), no nobody actually knows how to organize society if we reach the point where it should replace your doctor. Bla bla bla etc.

Reminder. If a recession causes unemployment it will not be a reliable indicator of the effect of AI.
The last time the labor market collapsed in 2008, for the following decade people blamed low labor force participation on videogames. This time if we have another recession, people are going to blame it on AI whether it's true or not.

built a paper predictor at the exa / @anthropic.com novelty hackathon. uses 3M embedded abstracts and clustering to build a semantic lineage + trajectory for any idea. here I paste in a 2023 prompted segmentation paper, LISA, and progress through LISA++ and to LISAT (May 2025)

Datadog released an open-weight, state-of-the-art time series foundation model called Toto, designed for multivariate time series forecasting with an emphasis on observability metrics.
They also introduced BOOM, their time series observability benchmark.

I was… probably not gonna last much longer at NPM. I was doing really poorly just trying to do what was apparently needed. I wasn’t on a PIP but I was very close to it.
And then I was just… given free rein and that’s when cacache/pacote/NPM5 & 6 happened
It was kind of incredible

Hey did you know that the two most productive people I have ever had on my teams have been people I was told to fire for performance reasons?
This is why it’s so important to:
1) hear context from previous managers but not anchor to it
2) give people clear feedback and give them a chance

New preprint!
Metaphors shape how people understand politics, but measuring them (& their real-world effects) is hard.
We develop a new method to measure metaphor & use it to study dehumanizing metaphor in 400K immigration tweets Link: bit.ly/4i3PGm3
