This is officially my favorite tweet, ever. @levelsio doing $248K/mo without knowing what state is. It's proof that solving problems and execution is way more important than whatever you’re currently procrastinating on.

I went into academia to search for truth. I left learning how to write safe grants, avoid controversy, and serve bureaucrats.

There is no expiry date on neuroplasticity. Go learn that new thing. Change your brain for the better.

The marble age is over. Melt the wax, or be left behind. I believe that many people that are disappointed in vibe coding have the wrong expectations. They are stuck in the traditional subtractive "coding as marble sculpture" point of view where every line of code you write is

Saw a talk this week on the trippiest thing: bacterial cultures on skin induce immune responses. At Michael Fischbach's lab, they demonstrated immunizing mice against tetanus by just dabbing an engineered version of a harmless staph culture on its head. Unlike intramuscular

99% of people have no idea how incredibly difficult this is

Repetition is the name of the brain game. Repeat what you want to become. This is neuroplasticity.

Life is going so fast because you're not injecting enough silence into your days. Spend an hour reading or writing or walking in silence and watch how your day seems to double in duration

Friends brains synchronize over time. This brain activity can be used to predict your friends' purchasing decisions.

Our paper was just published in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences. Up to 82% with neurological disorders have diagnosed mental disorders. The divide between mental & physical health is imaginary.

There's likely a "sweet spot" for sauna temperature where dementia protection is maximized. A recent (observational) study out of Finland found lower dementia risk with regular sauna at 90-99°C (176-210°F) but *not* for temps of 100°C (212°F) or more. In fact, dementia risk for

Underrated life advice: Never stop being a good person because of someone else’s bad actions. Their choices reflect them. Yours reflect you. Integrity is keeping your character steady when the world gives you plenty of reasons not to.

We’re announcing a major advance in the study of fluid dynamics with AI 💧 in a joint paper with researchers from Brown University, New York University and Stanford University.

Wait a minute… The guy trying desperately to usher in superintelligence at Meta is named Roko’s Basilisk-o????

GPT-5 Pro found a counterexample to the NICD-with-erasures majority optimality (Simons list, p.25). simons.berkeley.edu/sites/default/… At p=0.4, n=5, f(x) = sign(x_1-3x_2+x_3-x_4+3x_5) gives E|f(x)|=0.43024 vs best majority 0.42904.

One way I've found AI tools useful is that they make math research more fun. It can be frustrating to bang one's head against a problem for hours or days or months. It's nice to have a little guy in the computer to talk to about them.

Well this is pretty fun. Naive conjecture posted on overflow: the LCM(1,...,n) function is always "highly abundant": mathoverflow.net/questions/5010… Terry: I don't think so -- GPT, here's how I think you should be able to find a counterexample; can you write the code and check? GPT

Engaging in creative, skill-based activities like dance, music, visual arts, or gaming can reduce your brain's biological age by ~6 years. Researchers measured the 'brain age gap' (the difference between predicted and actual brain age) and found that creative experts had

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage. Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest
