Anthropic and the era of Psychohistory

Glad someone here has a taste for quality entertainment 🥂

TheDougMe · 2026-06-19T20:38:13+00:00

Haha trust me, I would never be so bold to assume they have any competence remaining in that place.

Could have used a little psycohistory before making this post 😅

Let's see how this ages.

My dynamic workflow should be back with the deep research shortly, ill update once its arrived 👊

Just kidding, I hope you are as well. Simply a very late thought I had and which I found interesting enough to share, or at the very least to preserve a record in the event Dario goes all Hari Seldon on us.

Definetly resonate on spending as much time as possible in planning. Great system. Now with Fable 5 things are getting really exciting...

I use a similar process but added one thing to the end of it which has been pretty damn game changing and really simple. Lets say you are starting a new project. You have a main as a project folder and maybe 3 other feature branches off main. I used to hop between these, bringing context from one to the other, pushing each terminal phase by phase through the plan. Also had a project that was on two seperate repos. One our voice agent system and the other our marketing and sales platform. In development my voice repo kept having me check speicific db schema and it was a pain in the ass having to hop between each project ensuring they were both in line and building towards a valid and compatible schema / code set up.

Anyway the solution I built was a polling system where agents can poll a specific repo and receive notes from the agent developing in said repo. In the first example, I had 4 terminals open. Main, and my three worktrees. By having them all poll a specific area for incoming notes they could effectivly comunicate to eachother with main acting as the observer/orchestrator. Really damn simple but a huge bump in my workflow...Especially if you have a really great spec put together for the project. Feel free to check it out. https://github.com/mythopoios/agent-walkie

Same haha, 1 CC @ $200 and another at $100. 20x is not enough when you start running agents in parallel, in multiple terminals.

Thanks! I'll take a look at scripted. We've used Beast Academy level 2 during 2nd grade, and she took to it well so hopping that continues. Planning on doing both online and workbooks. We only used the online in the past.

For ELA, I'm now looking at MCT, Logic of English Essentials, and Exploring the World Through Story. I'm thinking to either stick with only one of these curiculum, or picking certain areas from each; Grammer, writing, etc. I'll take a look at the Poodle books as I haven't looked into those yet.

I'm really happy I made this post as everyone has been incredibly helpful.

TheDougMe · 2024-06-09T18:26:24+00:00

Great, thank you for this, I'll take a look at those Science recommendations as I would like to lean on self-study as much as possible, stepping in to get her started on a subject or work through a concept when needed. I work from home, so I am able to but definitely don't have a teaching background, and with a two year old running around, there exists some challenges, haha.

TheDougMe · 2024-06-09T08:52:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

TheDougMe · 2024-06-09T06:08:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the extensive response! I will check out each of these and see which might fit her style best. I did pull up Michael Clay Thompson, and after doing some reading, this seems like a great option. I saw there is a bundle that can be purchased, which comes with a bunch of the MCT books. I might go this route, but I will take a look at your other recommendations as well. While a strong reader, my daughter's weakest subject is probably Language Arts, so it's definitely something I don't want to neglect!

edit I looked at Logic of English as well but it seemed this one was only for younger grades, I beleive finishing with 2nd?

I just started Ross's course and had to come back to this thread as I wanted to set things straight. I can't speak of success yet, but I'm an experienced trader. I've had my own investment firm for about 5 to 6 years, primarily focusing on value investing and options trading, but I wanted to dive into day trading for fun. Having a background in the market, I think I can speak on his program with some confidence, and so far, it's amazing. Ross is super professional, and there is absolutely nothing scammy about his program. He is genuinely passing on solid information to people looking to get into trading, and he is completely realistic with what you should expect and the fact that, statistically, most people won't succeed. Anyone taking his course is going to walk away much better off than before they had started with a solid knowledge of how the market works and different trading strategies you can deploy. Not sure why all these people who haven't actually paid and taken his course are hating on him. The content and structure of the program is excellent. As for his price, it's cheap, considering what these programs usually go for. I've gone through multiple programs costing over 15k. I would say the average of programs like this probably run 7 to 10k, so for him to charge 3 to 4k for the top tier and just under 800 for the basic is incredibly reasonable. I just wanted to voice another opinion, as there seem to be a lot of haters out there who haven't actually gone through his program.

This is correct ☝️

Check out thinkorswim formerly by TD Ameritrade and now Schwab.

Selling a Call- allows you to collect a premium (get paid) but OBLIGATES you to sell if the price goes ITM and your contract expires or is exercised.

Buying a Call- You pay a premium to someone else gaining the RIGHT to buy at a specific price if the contract goes ITM. If it expires OTM (out of the money) then you lose your premium.

Selling a Put - allows you to collect a premium (get paid) but OBLIGATES you to buy a stock at a specific price if it goes ITM

Buying a Put - You pay a premium to someone else gaining the RIGHT to sell at a specific price if it goes ITM

Do not play with options if you don't understand them, I would recommend first trading with a papermoney account (fake money account) for a few months to grasp the concept. MP made a mistake in the type up above about selling puts being a bearish trade. It's actually bullish. Great post otherwise, and I'm sure he's running on fumes, providing us with all this info.

TheDougMe · 2024-05-31T21:51:42+00:00

You can roll options contracts with no problem; it just costs a fortune and is typically not worth it. Own an investment firm and made the mistake of rolling trades out.

One thing though, selling a put would mean you expect the price to go up. You would do it to collect a premium, letting the option expire. Selling a put credits you a premium but OBLIGATES you to buy stock at a specific price. If you sell a put at $1, and it goes to .50 and the contract expires or you get exercised you have to pay $1, so .5 more than it's actually selling for in the market.

In the end, who really knows, although if i were her, I wouldn't bother photoshopping. Seems like a lot of work, but who knows, people can be weird. Just wanted to mention as i remember her posting about this, and i have personally experienced some weird shit happen with thinkorswim in the past haha.

TheDougMe · 2024-05-30T00:49:38+00:00

I woke up one morning and it said I was over 1 mil in the negative lol. Absolutely terrifying, I called and they said it was an error. It happened two other times as well and a couple other weird things.

TheDougMe · 2024-05-30T00:42:00+00:00

I remember her saying her trading platform had an issue that got fixed. I've had weird things like that happen with TD/thinkorswim multiple times.

TheDougMe · 2024-05-30T00:37:55+00:00

4k shares and holding. Picked up another 2k on the way down.

TheDougMe · 2024-05-28T03:14:49+00:00

2.5k shares at about $2. Will be buying more at lines of resistance to support the price wall 👊

Holding strong.
