it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

@heyandras Docker. It just feels so clunky and unoptimized, especially for Mac. Just need a simple way to run containerized apps

if you want app/service to have a lightweight opensource version, what would it be?

Part 2. Yale tracked 3,635 people over the age of 50 for 12 years. People who read books for more than 3.5 hours a week lived 23 months longer than people who didn’t read at all. A 20% drop in mortality risk. From sitting on a couch with a book. They controlled for age, sex, race, education, wealth, health status, and depression. The gap held across every single one. It only worked for books, though. Newspapers and magazines barely moved the needle. The researchers traced it to something specific: books force your brain to hold characters, plotlines, and ideas in memory at the same time and connect them across hours or days. That kind of sustained mental effort builds cognitive reserves that magazines and news articles simply don’t demand. A University of Sussex study found that just 6 minutes of reading cut stress levels by 68%. That beat listening to music (61%), drinking tea (54%), and going for a walk (42%). The cognitive neuropsychologist who ran it, David Lewis, said it works because reading locks the mind onto a single narrative, which slows heart rate and eases muscle tension. Your brain can’t spiral about your inbox when it’s tracking a plot. A 2013 study published in Science tested whether reading literary fiction improves your ability to read other people’s emotions. Five experiments. All showed the same thing: people who read literary fiction scored higher on emotion-recognition tests than people who read nonfiction, genre fiction, or nothing at all. The theory is that literary fiction presents complex, unpredictable characters who train your brain to decode real human behavior. Fair caveat: later replication attempts got mixed results, so the single-session effect is still debated. But the broader correlation between fiction reading and social cognition has held up across multiple independent studies. Reading on physical paper may matter more than you’d expect, too. Six out of seven meta-analyses have found that people comprehend text better on paper than on screens. Researchers call it the “screen inferiority effect.” Scrolling fragments attention and strips away physical cues (page thickness, text position) your brain uses to build a mental map of the material. A Norwegian eye-tracking study caught something unsettling: students reading on screens processed text more shallowly than paper readers. They didn’t even realize they were doing it. Part 1 covered the brain rewiring. This is the rest of the picture. Books cut stress faster than a walk. They may add nearly two years to your life. They sharpen your ability to read the room. And paper beats screens in 6 out of 7 studies for actually understanding what you read. Six minutes a day is where it starts.

Incredible things are happening

we are overstimulated and we don’t even notice. netflix while eating. reels in the bathroom. music while cooking. podcasts on walks. we consume by default, not by intention. you keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. they give you space to think and create. that’s when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. leave some room

Today we launched Mentat, an OpenAI-compatible API that gives builders deterministic control over LLM behavior. CTGT-governed models now deliver frontier-level reliability. In our evaluations, GPT-120B-OSS reached 96.5% hallucination reduction on HaluEval, surpassing frontier models like Gemini 3 and Claude 4.5 Opus. All of this is powered by CTGT’s Policy Engine, which evaluates content in real time against an organization’s rules and trusted information. We are building the infrastructure that lets companies move from “AI that usually works” to AI they can trust every time.

I am shocked and horrified by what I witnessed at a New York City hospital yesterday. Suffering patients packed like sardines in the emergency room hallways. A severely exhausted woman vomiting violently, with other patients just inches away from her. She stayed there for hours, undergoing her full exams in front of everyone. A patient with blunt trauma to the face, swollen and in pain, lying in a gurney at the edge of the hallway as people rushed back and forth past them. An injured woman in her 90s, dazed, confused - being examined by doctors while surrounded on all sides by strangers and sick people. Nurses and doctors with no choice but to have people’s most private conversations right there in the open. We all learned about one man’s Crohn’s disease, and exactly where on his body he had rashes. We heard a woman’s entire history of neurological issues. A man discussed his STDs out loud. Patients were told they needed to be admitted, but there were no available rooms. Not today. Hopefully tomorrow. So they stayed in that overcrowded room, packed in as far as you could see, forced to suffer in that environment with no idea how many more hours they’d be there, many trying to sleep sitting upright in a chair, with no bed. Dignity? Nowhere to be found. And then something happened that I will never forget for the rest of my life. A doctor approached a woman who was having cognitive issues and told her that her imaging had revealed a tumor in her brain. “I believe in being very truthful, and to let the prayers and the planning with your doctors begin as soon as possible." I was standing three feet away, and turned away as I started to cry. That woman did not deserve to have a room full of strangers witness the worst moment of her life. Yet amid absolutely inhuman chaos, the shining light was the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. Overworked, exhausted, stretched past anything reasonable - yet still taking their time to make each patient feel as dignified and cared for as possible in an impossible scene. I know they themselves are shocked by the situation they’ve been forced into, but you’d never know it. The level of love they showed, the professionalism, the humanity in the middle of all that suffering… These men and women are the best of America - and we’ve put them in environments that are truly incomprehensible. I kept thinking about how we possibly got here. How has this become the norm in America? I kept thinking about how many freedoms we’re afforded in this country. How many luxuries we’ve built. How good life can be here. And yet when it comes to what matters most, our healthcare, the thing we absolutely need to be there for us at our most vulnerable, it feels broken beyond repair. I don’t know whose fault this is, and I don’t know what the solution might be, or if there is even one at this point. On this particular day, I was just accompanying someone, only five hours in that environment. But to the doctors, nurses, hospital workers, and the patients who have to live this reality, all I can say is: I’m sorry. You deserve better. We all deserve better.

Full autonomy could be the single biggest “health” intervention if implemented at scale.

When Shohei Ohtani was a high school freshman, he created a detailed "dream sheet" with one central goal: to be the #1 draft pick for 8 NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) teams. It was a 64-cell roadmap based on a framework called the Harada Method. Here's exactly what Shohei did 👇 1. First, some history.... The Harada Method was created by Takashi Harada, a Japanese junior high track coach. He took a team ranked last out of 380 schools and, using his system, turned them into the #1 team in the region within 3 years. They held that top spot for the next 6 years. 2. You start by placing your main goal in the center of an 8x8 grid. For Ohtani, this was "be the #1 draft pick." 3. Next, you identify 8 critical supporting pillars needed to achieve that goal. These surround the main goal. Ohtani's 8 pillars were: • Body • Control • Sharpness • Speed • Pitch Variance • Personality • Karma/Luck • Mental Toughness 4. You then break down each of those 8 pillars into 8 smaller, actionable tasks or daily routines. This fills out the entire 64-cell grid, turning a massive dream into a concrete, daily action plan. To improve his karma, he listed tangible actions like: • Showing Respect to Umpires • Picking up trash • Being positive • Being someone people want to support 5. The method goes far deeper than just technical skills. It forces you to analyze your weaknesses and build confidence. It also has a highlight on service to others, emphasizing that humility and contributing to your community are essential for personal success. 6. The key to the system is daily execution and accountability. Once the 64-cell chart is complete, you turn the tasks and habits into a daily diary and a "Routine Check Sheet." It’s designed to transform abstract intentions into a measurable, daily practice.

@levelsio Worst thing for me is booking dinner reservations sometimes months in advance in places like NYC or SF. I get there are spots that are exclusive and have “award winning food” but the whole process feels way too structured to fit the calendar world. I just want food bro lol

I hate planning, I wish I could just walk in anywhere Planning only exists because there isn't infinite capacity I believe in abundance and energy being free So planning to me is a property of scarcity (and degrowth and in that respect communism)

Rate cuts won’t help. Different problem. A fundamental change in how work is done and what jobs are necessary cannot be solved by monetary engineering.
