This figure from Gracner et al. (2024) makes an important claim about obesity. It is from a natural experiment in which some babies were exposed to sugar rationing in their first years after birth. The results show that those who had lower sugar intake as babies had lower obesity rates as adults. The hazard ratio for obesity is shown on the Y-axis. If these results hold up, then we can conclude that diet matters in a deeper way than simply the calories consumed in the present moment. It can affect the body's propensity for obesity in the future. This experiment is about sugar, but if the dynamic is established, it could also likely apply to other kinds of food.

we helped over 100 people build their first robot. As my graduating gift to Waterloo, I gave 37 teams a robot kit I designed, and took over the engineering buildings to host the largest robot hackathon, ever. The demos are unreal!—check them out below

i’m most happy and productive when i realign my goals every few months. every time i forget to do this, i lose all motivation and momentum. ^this observation + the book’s advice combined have gotten me across every creative/motivation slump that i have ever had in the past.

every few months i love writing my "starting today" goals, so here it goes --"starting today, i’m going to spend my weekends writing more ml blogs, doing more ml projects, building consumer products/apps (in stealth mainly, i miss it) and reading books!!!"

Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though. He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering. Finally asked if he was okay. His response floored me. "Sometimes I forget words now. I'm so used to having ChatGPT complete my thoughts that when it's not there, my brain feels... slower." He'd been using AI for everything. Writing, thinking, communication. It had become his external brain. And now his internal one was getting weaker. Made me think about calculators. Remember how teachers said we needed to learn math because "you won't always have a calculator"? They were wrong about that. But maybe they were right about something deeper. We're running the first large-scale experiment on human cognition. What happens when an entire generation outsources their thinking? Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited about what AI and AI agents will do for people in the same way that I was excited in 2009 when the App Store was launched. But thinking out loud you got to think this guy I met with isn't the onnnnnly one that's going to be completely dependent on AI.
