I regret to inform you that lifting 3x a week, walking 30 minutes a day, eating real foods, drinking water, being in nature, and getting enough sleep will make your mind and body healthier 95% of the population.

Deep happy sigh. This is so refreshing. YES
Damon Wayans says that even at 65 years old, if Keenen tells him to get him a soda, he's going to go get it, because in their family, it’s all about an unspoken code of respect, seniority, and brotherly hierarchy. “Yeah, but like even now, this is how my family is. Like, I'm 65 years old and Keenen goes, "Go get me a soda," and I got to go get it.” “If Marlon walks in a room, and you know, if I walk in a room and there's no seats, Marlon gets up. Sean and Keenen will sit, and Marlon will get up and say, "You sit here." And my son will have to do the same thing.” “That's why I love the fact that they have children. Because I go to my theater sometimes and little Damon's there and Mikey's there, and as soon as I walk in the room, the youngest one gets up and lets me sit down without question, and I love that.” “It's just how we do with each other. It's just a quiet code. Some things you don't have to teach, it's just what you see.”

"I'll walk with you" is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that's romantic as fuck

Stop frying your brain with endless short form content. Read long, complicated, books. Especially novels. Cultivate the ability to think deeply. To focus for long periods. Stare into space and enjoy boredom. Do tasks without any media playing in the background. Resist the urge to reach for your phone every time you feel uncomfortable. Get used to being with uncomfortable emotions instead. Wonder and think about the questions you have instead of asking AI. Become deeply present with everyone around you. Your ability to focus, pay attention, to think deeply, is one of your most valuable assets. Reclaim the immense beauty of experiencing your life directly instead of living it through a screen.

The Bible is full of stories where God restores what people thought was lost, rebuilds what was broken, and gives purpose to what seems wasted. Never let a painful chapter convince you the story is over. God can still turn your situation around. He is not done writing your story.

My general advice for using AI for any purpose is to ask yourself: "how do I make what I am doing even more ambitious?" You do this until you either hit a wall and then you know the shape of the frontier (useful!) or you find out that the AI can do more than you think (common!)

At 37 Patrick Collison listed the reason not to start a company in every decade since the 80s. Japan will win everything, Microsoft will dominate, the dotcom crash, Google, then Facebook, now the AI labs: Every single time it was empirically a great time to start a company. He arrived in Silicon Valley in 2010 and people were already saying the funding was drying up. For more than a generation, betting on entrepreneurship has been a durable bet. Save this.

Instinct on the Action Button You can now make Instinct your iPhone’s Action Button. Press and hold, say what you need, and Instinct will take it from there, without you needing to leave the app you’re on. To set it up: 1. Go to app.instinct.com/voice-short… and tap Add Shortcut 2. Go to Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → Instinct. This is available to all Instinct users on an iPhone 15 Pro and newer.

New University of Toronto and Google paper argues that picking an AI assistant may be the last big decision people make, since that assistant then makes the decisions that follow. Argues that tests of how websites game AI answers need shared editing rules, or scores can't be compared. Content owners now edit web pages so AI assistants cite or recommend them, a practice called generative engine optimization, or GEO. Current GEO benchmarks allow different edits, so a method that rewrites whole pages can look better than one that only appends a line. They propose labeling every GEO edit by where the page changes, how it changes, and which cue it targets, such as authority. Tests would fix the allowed edits and report visibility, answer quality, and rule-following together. The paper runs no experiments. Its evidence is a mapping of 11 published GEO methods, showing that each covers a different slice of the possible edits. When comparing GEO methods or AI systems, check which edits each score allowed and whether answer quality was measured.
