You can't engineer luck.
Cleanest phrasing of P vs NP I've heard.
NP is the magical computer that always tells you which path to take. P is what current silicon can do. Tetris is NP-complete. Chess is EXP-complete.

@tetsuoai I review those class from time to time. Its gold, i wish i could know the contact in order to thank him.

@TheGregYang You’re a smart guy, but I think you’re going down the wrong rabbit holes by consulting. centralized science.
Are you very pale? Do you sit indoors with WiFi on and typing on a high-performance computer plugged into the AC grid?
Until you fix your environment, you will struggle.

I've been suffering from Lyme disease.
I'm stepping back from xAI into an informal advisory role so I can go founder mode on my health, starting today.
---
The symptoms started when I got sick (cold, flu, or COVID -- I'm not sure which) in early 2025. I distinctly felt less energetic, less creative, and less agentic even weeks after "recovery." After that, my condition ebbed and flowed, but the lows kept getting lower.
Accidentally eating the wrong thing would make me extremely tired, taking days to recover. Working out would leave my whole body feeble for days. There was a week where I slept 12 hours a day and still couldn't recover.
Lyme is famously hard to diagnose, but luckily I have an incredible doctor. He suspected these symptoms, far from being just in my head, indicated immune issues. Detective work over a few rounds of testing revealed I have Lyme disease.
I was very surprised because Lyme is said to come from tick bites (where the bump looks like a target), but I don't ever remember having one. Likely I contracted Lyme a long time ago, but until I pushed myself hard building xAI and weakened my immune system, the symptoms weren't noticeable.
---
Overall, I actually feel lucky to have discovered this early. Lyme is a serious disease that only gets harder to treat with age -- patients discovering it in their 50s or 60s have a much tougher time. Lyme can also be debilitating, leaving its victims bedridden, but luckily I'm still functional and can take care of myself day to day.
So while some folks have said "you shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard," I'm glad I did. I found this issue early, and now I can fix it so I can push myself even harder when I rebound.
---
Chronic Lyme is not well understood in the literature or by the public. For folks suffering from it, it can be a lonely fight. But I hope my story can make it just a little less lonely.

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge
You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight
You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am
I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

"Wow! I was skeptical at first, but red light therapy is a game changer"
"Huh! Turns out blue light helps your skin"
"And infrared helps your muscles recover"
"Apparently green's good also?"
"I have so many lights now. If only there was a simpler way to get these frequencies"
Thomas P Seager, PhD@seagertp
Every red light device you've ever seen on Twitter uses wavelengths that target the CCO enzyme in mitochondria to stimulate ATP production, and that's a very good thing. The MyGreen Forest Flashlight does not do this. It is the first LED phototherapy device in the world that targets melanin, instead of CCO. Why? Because @AmmousMD told me that melanin absorbs light to provide electrical energy to cells. So I looked for studies that showed what wavelengths would be most effective for energizing melatonin. They are green (532nm) and near infrared (730nm), which also happen to be the wavelengths of light that dominate the shady forest. That's right. Forest light is absorbed by melanin in the outer layers of the skin to produce electricity that powers skin cells. To test the hypothesis that a LED Forest Flashlight might speed healing of cuts and scars on the skin, I treated myself with this new device of my own invention. The results were spectacular. Inflammation gone. Redness reduced. Skin growing fast under the scab. Accelerated wound repair. I noticed improvement the day after a single 10 minute treatment and sent pictures to a wound care nurse to verify the rapid rate of healing of cuts on my arm and leg. So I offered the Forest Flashlight device at a steep discount to readers who would promise to test it for me and write in with their results. The first review posted this evening and my tester wrote "the results have been incredible" for healing surgical incisions.

@jungledeutsche @DrJackKruse I see. I guess it’s relative; without the basalt they would be even worse off. Also not every region of Earth is weakening.
English
@albert @DrJackKruse Exactly why I asked. If overtime the magnetic field in other parts of the world is weakening too, it will be weak to a point comparable to the SAA now. How is the basalt is suppose to change anything, if it doesn't help with the SAA now.
English
@jungledeutsche @DrJackKruse South Brazil is very affected by the SAA. Probably the local magnetic anomalies can’t compensate for that.
English
@DrJackKruse Why are people in South Brazil being afected then? Huge basaltic plateau there from ancient lava flows, average thickness of 700m spread over most interior parts of the southern states.

@buccocapital This is not unique to AI; this is just the classic phenomenon in capitalism when a new productivity tool comes along and due to competition, a new baseline is formed.
Something as rudimentary as the sewing machine must have been subject to the same competitive dynamics.

This is why everyone is so exhausted at work
Your company is scrambling to adopt AI in order to keep up with its competitors. You are scrambling to adopt AI to maintain parity with your peers.
Nobody is gaining an advantage, everyone is just getting fitter

@ze_rusty @teslaownersSV Given that the dish would sit outside the plane, I would hope that the passengers are shielded from most of the >10GHz satellite signal.
However, a plane having Starlink means everybody will be on WiFi streaming Netflix, so there will be way more WiFi RF.
English
@teslaownersSV What frequency does Starlink broadcast at?
What's the highest frequency your EMF meter reaches?
Now ask yourself what "safe" actually means here

MrBeast says once enough airlines offer Starlink, he’ll only book those flights: “Extra layover? Don’t care—there’s Starlink. I’ll sit anywhere for it. Starlink is amazing.”
He adds: “Most people haven’t used it, but in Antarctica it was our only signal. On a four-hour drive through rural Africa, we mounted Starlink on the car and had perfect connectivity the whole time.”
On SpaceX: “What Elon Musk is doing will fundamentally advance humanity in unimaginable ways. Someone will go to Mars in our lifetime—I truly believe it.”

@MURPHSLIFE Yes this would be great! Would be fun to open it up to kids to participate and play around as well.

What if we organized a conference on our farm that teaches YOU how to run your OWN homestead?
Growing organic food
Canning food
Make organic soaps, shampoo, candles, kombucha, sourdough bread, beef jerky, essential oils, bee keeping etc
We teach you how to run a regenerative cattle ranch. Hands on, on a REAL farm.
What if we don’t charge $500 and do it for $50 to support local farmers?
Most people won’t realize the importance of food sovereignty until it’s too late.
This is just an idea but if you’d like to attend something like this or be a part of it.. give it a share or comment. I want to see if there’s any interest in El Salvador for this kind of thing🇸🇻🚀

@the_no_mind Medicine needs more generalists. Too many specialists today.

Medicine today focuses on anatomy.
Got a headache? See a neurologist. Heart issues? Cardiologist.
Doug Wallace: a mild energy defect systemic throughout the whole body gives you a very bad headache.
Nothing wrong anatomically with your head. Something wrong with your energy.

Incandescents emit IR, visible light & a little UV.
You just never see the UV.
The glass bulb stops it.
Swap the glass for quartz & the UV can pass through.

@LukeWolgram Of course it’d be great to still have sun after work. It’s about health vs convenience.
English
Posts like this are unfathomable to me. You want it to get dark at 2 PM on standard time?? Like??
I'd rather it not get light out until 9 am and still be able to do stuff in the light in the afternoon, like 95% of the population.
Kevin Mcleod@dockevinmcleod
Sunlight is very important for our body and brain. It impacts hormones, cognition, even insulin and our cardiovascular health. Data strongly supports that standard time is better for our health. Moving to permanent daylight savings time is bad policy. Sunrise in the winter in Vancouver is going to be around 9am with this change. Mornings will be darker. That’s bad for health. Good public policy would be to remain on permanent standard time.
English
@rodmickleburgh People don't understand that seeing morning sunrise vs. 1 more hour of early evening sun isn't just a preference and affects health dramatically.
English
@rodmickleburgh Most important is #3: if kids don't see the morning sunrise, that has profound effects for circadian signaling. Get ready to start seeing adverse health impacts.
English
Why permanent DST is stupid:
1. We already have DST for 7 months of the year.
2. We will be in a different time zone from the West Coast of the US for 5 months of the year.
3. It will mean kids going to school in the dark during the winter.
