@maxlugavere Ask them to use the paper cup? It is not the drinks fault. 😂

Stop ordering iced espresso drinks to go. A near-boiling shot of espresso pulled straight into a cold plastic cup can leach small amounts of endocrine-disrupting compounds (think Bisphenol A and its cousins) into your drink. The fix is simple: ask for the ice and water or milk to go in first, then the espresso. I’ve seen it done the other way too many times to count—which is why I usually skip it and stick to cold brew.

@stevemagness @GDellaMattia In other words, silent winner of the shoe debate is Sawe’s daily trainer in my opinion. not the Pro Evo 3. Those training shoes allowed for the massive training mileage and pounding increases.

@stevemagness @GDellaMattia It is shoes and carbs ofc. But we have to be careful on a point. Super shoes deliver the final performance but training capacity over time is increased with more protection provided by good shoes to the feet and the legs which is widely available for the masses.

When the mainstream reduces the sub-2 record to super shoes and high carbohydrate intake, it ignores that elite performance emerges from interacting variables, not isolated hacks.

@CosmicSkeptic You are so stupid. (Imagine hearing the stupid part with Manchester accent)

I’m getting a lot of hate for this reel. What do you think? (P.S.: if you say “but we have evidence for dads I believe you have missed the point.)

@NYCMayor By claiming that the 2020 conflict was genocidal and likening it to the alleged genocide of 1915, you expose your true character. You are not the honest person you claim to be. You are pandering, no better than the worst politicians.

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself. In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior. On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

@klusb14 @HankFrank Yes! I never said, shorter is the PB. Imagine 100ft. perfect distance, if you zig-zag, and you can travel 300ft (your watch measures) but only go 100ft. At the end, official time matters. Watches battle this algorithmically but can't be perfect as chip time.

@alisalih @HankFrank Yes, exactly -- perhaps we're saying the same thing then lol. The only point I would make though is that 50:03 is your time-- it would be disingenuous to suggest it was 49:16.

Strava can give you a faster “Marathon.” It cannot give you a new PR. Your PR is your official chip time from mat to mat. Strava is just finding your fastest continuous 26.2 miles. Yesterday mine was 3:12:51 on Strava and 3:14:24 officially at Boston.

@klusb14 @HankFrank It seems like you also misunderstand me. Race distance is the race distance, but the path you take, plus minor accuracy errors contribute your watch to call the race distance earlier, quicker. I gave example above. 10K chip 50:03, watch 49:16. Just past weekend.

You're misunderstanding me. I have had the same experience. Almost all runners running road races have. The disconnect we're having is that the race distance is not "long"; it's that all GPS watches have small degree of error. So yes, when you finish a 10k measured race, your watch might show something like 6.6 miles, but that's because your GPS isn't as accurate as the method used to measure the course and in small part because you didn't run the tangents perfectly and had to go around people. But, the race distance is almost always the more accurate distance than your GPS watch.

@klusb14 @HankFrank So you can't really say "No" to something I have experienced many times, along with other runner friends.

@klusb14 @HankFrank I ran several races where I started 2 watches Apple Watch Ultra 3 and COROS Pace 4 at the same time, and they were 40+ seconds quicker (at 10K) to mark the measured distance, while the finish was still ahead. I am not in a GPS restricted area either. SEVERAL times this occurred.

@klusb14 @HankFrank It is the other way around. Watches are measuring short, chip time is long.

This is a bit of a misconception. The extra time your watch usually shows after a race isn't because of tangents or going around people; it's just because there's a small margin for error with GPS watches. They've studied this with runners who lead the pack and have found gps distances overshoot the actual race distance even for those who can run close to perfect tangents and don't have to dodge people on the course.

@stevemagness @ProfTimNoakes @DJKilmartin “I am a scientist. Whats this qualitative and quantitative data collection process and analysis when Making shit up is free” - geez. There are labs measuring impact of carbs on longer runs so you effectively can figure out your optimum uptake, even some shown on Youtube.

No one is suggesting you don't do science and question and run experiments. I think the problem is...there's no data here. You don't have any data here. "I know what I saw..." isn't good enough. We all saw the TV broadcast...it covers spurts of the race, and for nearly 20 miles, Korir is NOT in the lead. So the only time we get a clear shot is the last few miles, of which the TV broadcast did NOT show the aid station shot. But even with that in a few of the early shots, we we see every elite in the lead pack, including Korir go over and grab a bottle... What's in the bottle? You have no idea. I don't either. Which is the point. It could be 80g or 10g...we're just making it up. That's not data. So you're essentially conjecturing based on no data... Elites don't carry bottle and gels like the masses. They pick them up at an aid station, down them and throw the bottle to the ground.

Thanks Kilmartin @DJKilmartin for this hard evidence. John Korir has clearly learned to take in just enough carbohydrate (~20g/hr) to prevent hypoglycemia which is the real metabolic limiter of prolonged exercise performance as we proved here journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.11…. It's interesting how different is the approach of the Kenyans than is that of North American/European runners, cyclists and triathletes. Is this because of a different physiology? Or because of other environmental/social pressures?

@BenjaminDEKR @theo @BennettSchwartz Are you a fking pigeon? Because that’s the level of intelligence you are showing rn.

@theo @BennettSchwartz Ok. I admit I did not go building to building. What number do you think is better?

Information I can find suggests that Cursor has about 50 employees. Maybe a bit more, not a lot. $60 Billion puts this at over a billion dollars per employee. Does this truly make sense versus strategically recruiting a core group of young hotshots and building from scratch?

@ThePapaLinks @OldScottie You really didn’t need to answer that absurd question, Rory.

@OldScottie I did 11 runs over 32k, I also do something targeted around MP in over half of those

Yesterday I ran the Boston Marathon, finished 14th, and ran a 45 second PB for 2:06:04.. and I’m both incredibly proud and dissatisfied.. thoughts below ⬇️

@ImLunaHey It still is... what's going on?! service status screen shows still green. @ClaudeDevs @claudeai

@ImLunaHey yes.

anyone else getting 529 errors from claude code..?

@jshchnz @github FAFO?

With my codemaxxed project surpassing 353,000,000 lines of code (not a typo) I actually got a @Github cease & desist 🪦 "We've noticed that the repository is growing fast while committing very frequently. This looks like some sort of automated activity that serves no purpose."

@theo I’ve been enjoying your content here and there but what’s your problem with anthropic ? If you don’t like it, dont use it. It’s simple isnt it ?

Looks like the Anthropic "safety layers" aren't just blocking prompts anymore, they're erroneously banning entire orgs 🙃

If anyone is wondering. I uninstalled claude-code cask and installed claude-code@latest. Now I have the latest.

@GamewithDave Command & Conquer and Red Alert series.

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?
