@sama A creative renaissance of artisans in various fields and a shift in thinking from what some consider blue collar and laborers.

@noahkagan ChatGPT vs Claude is like: vmware fusion vs parallels desktop Ford vs GM Nintendo vs Sega Mac vs PC Coke vs Pepsi (and Gemini is Dr Pepper)!

Claude is dead. Long live ChatGPT (again!). Kinda feels like Claude got overloaded. Went back to using ChatGPT again this week and surprised how much better it's gotten. What's everyone else noticing?

A retired couple who trains together. A divorced man who said: "I wish we'd done this when we still had the chance." Two different endings to the same story. Health habits aren't built in isolation. They're built through the relationship itself, whether you're doing it intentionally or not. (Kiecolt-Glaser & Wilson, 2017) @fittinsider's 2025 data shows gym members are nearly 2x more likely to be regularly active than non-members. Structure drives consistency. But the relationship is the deeper structure. So the question we keep coming back to: where are the couples in their 30s and 40s who are still in that window? Still forming the habits that will shape the next 30 years. Still deciding whether to do it together or in parallel. That's exactly who we built Sync & Thrive for. syncyourwellness.com

What if you built your relationship with the same level of agency as your business? How does it change?

@AlexFinn @elonmusk was this an 8 hour drive due to scheduled charging or leisure ?

@elonmusk Just took this bad boy on an 8 hour road trip from SF to LA. didn't touch the wheel once best product I've ever owned

Cybertruck is so awesome. Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it. Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

@thesamparr “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.” At some point, the wall stops protecting you and starts trapping you.

I asked 1000+ Hampton founders (all doing at least 3M ARR): has hitting your career goals actually made you happier? Here's what they said: - Founder A (sold multiple companies): "Revenue milestones felt good briefly, then faded. But being able to buy my parents a home felt really rewarding." - Founder B (burned out in his late 20s, now self-described 8.5/10 happy for 7 years straight): "I stopped trying to chase happiness and started systematically eliminating unhappiness. I know what makes me unhappy today, so how do I not do that tomorrow?" - Founder C (software founder, sold for $360M+): "I realized I'd be completely at peace dying if it meant my daughter would survive and thrive. Is that happiness? I don't know. But it's where my mind goes." - Founder D (bootstrapped, profitable): "Getting off the VC rat race and having enough money to not stress was the single biggest unlock. My health got better. I worked out more. I spent more time with family." - Founder E (on hiring great people): "Hiring incredible humans has asymmetric returns on my happiness. Every routine meeting is elevated. Every offsite is wildly fun. Nothing else compounds like people." - Founder F (father of young kids): "A number on a spreadsheet doesn't make me happier because it wasn't intended to. Hiring someone who buys me time to superglue toys for my kid does, because that was the point." - Founder G (on financial independence): "FI is like beating the main quest in a video game. Everything after that is just side quests." My take: the goals that made me genuinely happier were the ones that changed my relationship with time or people. Selling a company 100% has made me happier. Other things, like hitting revenue targets, hasn't. What's made you actually happier?

@foundmyfitness @StevenBartlett It’s hard to eliminate all the exposure but you can minimize it to some extent. One of the best purchases we ever made are glass Pyrex style containers with bamboo lids. Found them on Amazon. They’ve made a huge difference for us.

It was a pleasure to join @StevenBartlett again to talk about emerging areas in health that everyone should be thinking about! Steven asks incredible questions. We dive deep into visceral fat, hidden chemicals lurking in everyday products, "Peakspan", and much more.

@kevinrose @yongfook Respect Kevin … for not being a sweater vest vc guy.

@yongfook as a VC in former life, I'm proud to say I never embraced the sweater vest

People who age happier and healthier tend to do 7 things: They don’t smoke, exercise regularly (but not excessively), maintain a healthy weight, and are mindful with alcohol or other substances. But one of the most interesting ideas that @arthurbrooks underscores is that the "happy-well" also have 3 less obvious traits. They keep learning, they develop real skill in dealing with life’s problems, and they prioritize love—through a strong marriage, close friendships, or both.

And the big goal doesn’t have to be financial. Remember, misery loves company.

@homegymcoop @BeeTee2887 If this handles complex lifts then it beats a gym membership everyday of the week.

@BeeTee2887 This is the beauty of home gyms. Ultimate training freedom and liberty.

If this supports complex lifts the way it appears to in the video, then the thesis that a compact setup can replace a traditional home gym has legs.

@thesamparr A whole generation will not see prediction markets as gambling. FYI I think someone took Copythat with that header !

“You owe it to your grandchildren” These companies are hurting a generation of young men.

There is a law of attraction towards complexity which CANNOT be overstated. So many people get stuck before they even get started. Belaboring the point only makes it more complex.

@noahkagan Lots of people trying to sell shovels in a gold rush. I like the “not talking about it”camp.

50% of the people here are LYING about how they use AI and the other 50% aren't talking about it.

@noahkagan Nice copy @ilonabramova

@levelsio great model to follow. it is a base human need to have certainty and uncertainty in life. a shoestring travel budget makes for great stories and a rich life.

The irony is that traveling on <$1000/mo is way more fun than >$10,000/mo Luxury travel is extremely boring, comfortable, not challenging, sycophantic (yes sir) Travel on a shoestring budget you get inventive, are forced to meet locals just to survive and get around, have to hitchhike etc I like to combine cheap and luxury travel which keeps my brain from decaying and the contrast actually lets you enjoy both

@naval People used to watch Minecraft gamers and now they watch claudebot setups.
