I was in Miami 2008 when @Axwell @Ingrosso and @SteveAngello dropped Pjanoo, for the first time in Miami I think? @ericprydz was hanging out behind the dj booth. He didn’t join them, all though they tried to coerce him. Amazing times. Gives me chills seeing them all behind the decks almost 20 years later. 👌🏼🙌🏼😊

ok, theory, a frontier model creator lands a real breakthrough, they won’t ship it to the public first - they’ll aim it inward. their own products get supercharged, & suddenly you see a flurry of releases in rapid succession that feel almost unfair. everyone will wonder how they’re moving that fast…until the model finally gets announced.

- Drafted a blog post
- Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours.
- Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing!
- Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.
- lol
The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

Lot of great gags in this movie 😂
Love Classical Music and Movies 🎺🎻💖🎥🎬@AlexTran677026
"Top Secret!" (1984) is super silly and funny. This is a classic action comedy parody film by the trio Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (the team behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun). Val Kilmer plays the lead role – this is also his film debut.

Fascinating that the ambient noice and movement at cafe can make me so productive. Helps with focus. Maybe it is the ever so often distraction that makes the times when focused so much more effective?
Sound Escapes
Travel virtually via sound to any local spot in the world. Just hang out. Talk to new friends if you want. That cool bar in Barcelona, check. Quite coffee place in Italy, check. Starbucks in …, check.
Maybe time to build this old idea now that it can be done in a weekend. 🤓

For longevity, think less about what you want to be able to do at 100 and think more about maximizing your peak performance and maintaining it.
Video explanation below 👇
Ty Beal@TyBealPhD
The longevity crowd says to reverse-engineer what you want to be able to do at 100. Dr. Chris Masterjohn (@ChrisMasterjohn) thinks there’s a better approach — and the data backs him up. Chris explains why maximizing your performance during your peak is probably the best longevity strategy there is. He walks through the bone mass data showing that your peak at 25 determines your trajectory for life, why gymnasts and pole vaulters live 8 years longer than the general population while cyclists only gain 2, and how functional movement may protect against cancer and neurological disease through mechanisms most people have never heard of. He also shares his practical "weakest link" framework — how to periodically evaluate your life across movement, memory, emotional balance, and more, then work on the weakest area while maintaining everything else with minimal daily effort. We both share our personal maintenance routines at the end — because the best system is one you can actually stick with.

Jack Nicholson thought Diane Keaton actually fell in love with him in this “Something’s Gotta Give” scene.
Director said:
“We’re rehearsing that scene in the street, where he’s running after her, and he calls me over after one rehearsal. He’s all rattled.”
“I said, ‘What’s up?’
And Jack goes, ‘Diane just told me she loves me.’
“I couldn’t tell if he was horrified or thrilled. So I was like, ‘Yes, I know, I wrote that line. It’s in the script, Jack.’ And he said, ‘Oh, okay.’ He thought she meant it. It’s really funny. That’s her.”

@brianmackenzie Might be related to the people who created the fear that made people wear masks at 7am walking down the street by themselves…

I am astonished everyday when I walk at the beach. There are dozens of people at 7am totally covered up protecting themselves from sunlight. There are many who are even covered in sunscreen. 7am. Who created this fear?

@brianmackenzie In a buildup phase from a pretty deep hole… so perfect timing. Will be great to measure progress!

I remember when you recorded this movie and lived on a couple eggs and avocados per day... I might have overestimated the consumption… That was some dedication to the craft! This movie was hard to watch, felt so real and sureal, and both brutal and beautiful at the same time. Amazing.

My mind is blown.
I’ve taken TWO MINUTES off this pace since mid November.

I’m now convinced that the biggest winner of the AI race will be Apple.
They will acquire Anthropic and put an AI model that can run on ~32GB of RAM in every device.
It will be private, local, have perfect memory, access to all of your files and it will cost $0.
The real moat was owning the hardware.

Every now and then, people talk about FIRST BLOOD but confuse it with its sequels. They are very different animals.
FIRST BLOOD is a smart, hard-hitting character piece. An unflinching and unflattering portrait of so many elements of American society.
The casting is impeccable, top to bottom. The screenwriting is top-notch. This scene is a prime example of both.
The insincere smile, the veiled threats. The contained anger.
The action may be a little tame by today's standards, but it's not really an action film. Maybe a drama with action.
In the end, it's hard to see it as anything other than a tragedy. An angry rebuke to the arrogance of power and how most of us just want to look the other way.
It still fascinates me how we can tell such entertaining stories about these things.
I love this movie.
The sequels are just entirely different things (That said, I did like #4.)
