Esse tuite é a prova de que crescimento do PIB é uma métrica bosta.
Sim, os EUA ta ótimo, se você é rico ou classe média alta.
Mas isso é verdade em qualquer lugar do mundo.

This is a common European crutch and cope. It's all just vibes to many of them. It "feels" like America is in decline because I happen not to like their current administration. Meanwhile, US just grows bigger, stronger, richer. 26Q1 US: +2.6% y/y. EU: +0.7%.

Today we are launching @boski_ai on WhatsApp!
Boski is the most personal ai agent out there
It proactively learns about you and constantly thinks how it can help you save time, make better decisions and win harder
We are building Boski to be available on every possible platform
We shipped our mobile app a few weeks ago. We are launching whatsapp now. Web, imessage, X and a couple more are coming soon too
We are still in early beta but we are planning to open up soon
If you want to test Boski with us, please text the number from the video and join our early community (also on whatsapp)
See you there!

discovered dolby atmos remasters recently and I regret to inform you that music apparently has been in black and white this whole time.
even on my budget, sub $1k setup (2x sonos era 300s) albums i've heard 500 times suddenly grew a third dimension, almost making me cry. WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS.
switched from spotify to apple music purely for this and I'd do it again in front of daniel ek's family. its insanely good - do yourself a favor and go hear it.

@nikitabier @samlambert @nikitabier wdyt about “DM Priority Requests”?
users opt in and set their price, senders pay to get their request surfaced (NOT a guaranteed reply); the recipient gets paid when they open it; X takes a cut.
basically super like / paid intro for DMs.

@samlambert Updated design for Message Requests is in testing. ETA this week hopefully.

@_ptonik @levelsio Funny, I always thought of Poland as a bad country, mostly because people from other European countries used to speak negatively about it, especially in Spain.
But now, it seems to me that Poland is heading the right direction, while the other countries are going in the opposite

🇪🇺 The new trend in Europe now is building new houses with tiny windows, so that they stay cool and don't need to install or use AC to cool them
"Less sunlight = less heat = less cooling = less energy use" is their thinking
But there's a reason people buy modern design villas that are floor to ceiling glass (I did)
You want as much sunlight as possible coming in for your health, because your circadian rhythm depends on it, improving your sleep quality so you produce melatonin at the right time and fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night
Sunlight also affects your mood of course, it heavily boosts serotonin and decreases symptoms of depression
Having wide views of the sky, nature or ocean also have a measurable effect on lowering your stress
So Europe is now building houses with tiny windows all so they don't need to install AC, while the new home owner inside will slowly become miserable, stressed, depressed, start sleeping bad and as a second order effects of that become sick (but of course then you can sell them pills)
The conclusion is the same I had during the ongoing heatwave in Europe where tens of thousands of people are still dying every month because they're not allowed to install AC:
Europe now cares more about energy use than people's lives
Degrowth is a completely delusional cult affecting all of Europeans lives now!

These are hideous. You know, if we had cheaper energy we could add more and larger windows…
English

we identify as central, respect our pronouns
on windows, my good friend is an architect (designed my house too!) and we had a lot of discussions about this
south-facing windows are a huge solar collector, they generate more heat than they lose (at least for triple-glazed windows), they're actually more energy efficient than a wall. a big trend here are "passive houses", which require less than 15kwh/m2 to heat, and this is one of the ways to get there.
I have close to 300m2 of windows and with a ground heat pump + solar panels, right now I generate more power than I can use, with 7 ac units blasting and a hot tub on the outdoor terrace that I keep hot even in the winters + many other power hungry amenities.
energy abundance without relying on the grid

And Vlad the Impaler did not start impaling on a massive scale until his mid-30s.
You still have time.
shah@shahh
Vlad, the founder of Robinhood, is worth $6B. He made his first million at 30 and started Robinhood at 31. Today, he’s 39 and runs one of the biggest companies in the world. You’re never too old to start.

@_ptonik So you're saying in order to get back to regular training, I need to buy meta glasses, vibe code some app and post it on X first? Got it!
English

I hate stopping between sets to log reps into an app.
so I built a gym copilot for ray-ban meta glasses → auto-detects the lift, counts reps, tracks tempo, runs your whole workout. no phone, no logging (just a clean json after).
also noodling on real time voice coaching, imagine looking at a mirror and hearing "flatten your back" the second you start rounding on a deadlift
please make fun of me if im still fat by eoy

@_ptonik Haha I can’t wait for ripped Pat 😅 I inspired you right 🙋🏻♂️

@adrianinmotion refreshing to see the definition of design distilled so well in just two sentences

@madebydamien beyond the current capabilities of frontier labs, sadly (but futurologists remain hopeful)

@_ptonik sick and gl with that, but now create something to lock fridge after 8pm xd

@Noahpinion I was in London 2 weeks ago and saw a giant banner at Piccadilly Circus saying "1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual" - thought they finally got fed up and things are bouncing back, but this is just feral
