MIT found Alzheimer's-like amyloid plaques in the brains of people who died of COVID. buff.ly/ikYRPuI Spike proteins were clustering with amyloid. This was not in older adults with pre-existing disease. It was caused by COVID.

@Challenger_ST Videos for 5 & 6 have the correct text, but the same video. It does not fit the text. Probably a small mistake

5. Plyometrics / Explosive Prep Light, quick jumps and bounds to prime the nervous system Teach the body to produce and absorb force rapidly This is the “get explosive” phase

Your warm-ups suck… and it’s making you slower, more injured, and lethargic Most athletes either skip them or do random junk that does nothing Save this entire thread I built this 6-Part Warm-Up Menu so you can build smart, effective warm-ups every time While keeping it fresh but actually preparing your body to perform This is the exact template I use with my athletes. 👇

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke explains Goodhart’s law and why he doesn’t like KPIs or OKRs “Goodhart’s law is real. The moment a metric becomes a goal, it’s no longer a useful metric… No metric by itself is a complete heuristic for a complex business. There’s a million different tensions in a company, and you can’t keep all of them in harmony by optimizing for one thing.” For this reason, Shopify doesn’t use KPIs or OKRs. But as Tobi explains, this doesn’t mean they don’t value data and metrics. “We are extremely data informed. We have invested enormous amounts of money and time into systems that give us basically everything at our fingertips… But what Shopify attempts to do is just not over-fit for what’s quantifiable.” People love optimizing for highly-quantifiable things because there’s immediate gratification that comes from seeing a number go up. But Tobi thinks that the most important aspects of a product are rarely quantifiable: “The overlap of the most valuable things you can do with a product and the things that happen to be fully quantifiable are like maybe 20%. Which leaves 80% of a value space unaddressable by the people who only look at quantifiable things.” He continues: “Shopify is comfortable with unquantifiable things like taste, quality, passion, love, hate… The sort of deep satisfaction that a craftsperson feels when they’ve done a job well is actually a better proxy if you allow it to be.” They then have robust analytics systems that tell the company if something’s wrong or a new rollout breaks something. “We think about it as a cockpit for a pilot. The decisions are still made by pilots, and we think this leads to better results… I think there needs to be more acceptance in business of unquantifiable things… And then metrics take a support function.” Source: @lennysan (Feb 2025)

@hussmanjp 👀

may be useful to recognize you're in the most extreme gamma squeeze in history - while you still have a chance to recognize that you're in the most extreme gamma squeeze in history not a forecast, not a market call, just FYI

@AshtonForbes Who is the true Highlander here?

If you read the linked article and got to this part and still thought you were listening to a serious person, I got bad news for you James. Mick West is a fraud in every sense of the word. A libtard who got 10 boosters and think science means cheerleading NASA. Worked on Tony Hawk video game once upon a time then became the government's go to debunker whenever they need anything to go away. I will destroy him when the government admits the videos are real, and no one is going to stop me. He deserves much, much worse. He has single handedly set humanity back 25+ years. Fair warning, if you support Mick, any of the debunkers, or come out hard against the MH370 videos, your credibility will be permanently destroyed in the future. So make whatever choice you want, just know you made that choice of your own volition and there's no taking it back later. I am an asshole. I will have no mercy on anyone.

@anishmoonka Wet sponges into the microwave for a minute. Cool down for a bit and again one more minute . Let dry completely ideally in the sunshine

The research behind this is wild. Your kitchen sponge has the same density of bacteria as human stool. German scientists found 54 billion bacterial cells per cubic centimeter inside used sponges in 2017. Yours is sitting right next to your sink. Sponges are the perfect home for bacteria. They are wet, warm, full of food bits, and never fully dry between washes. Across all 14 sponges, the team found 362 different types of bacteria. The most common species include strains that can make people sick. In 2011, the public health group NSF International swabbed 30 things in 22 American homes. The dirtiest object in the entire house was the kitchen sponge. It was dirtier than the toilet seat. 75% of the sponges tested positive for the kind of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli. Microwaving does not clean the sponge. The 2017 study found microwaved sponges had higher amounts of the smelliest, most harmful bacteria. Heat kills the weak strains. The strong ones survive and refill the sponge with no competition for space. A 2021 Norwegian study compared kitchen sponges to dish brushes. In brushes, Salmonella was wiped out within three days because the bristles dry out between uses. In sponges, bacteria climbed to about a billion cells per sponge. The lead researcher told CNN that one kitchen sponge can hold more bacteria than there are people on Earth. Three things actually work. Switch to a dish brush, because brushes dry fully between uses while sponges stay wet for hours. Replace your sponge every one to two weeks. Never leave it sitting wet in the sink. Norway and Denmark already do this by default, but most other countries don't. The detergent is fine. Your sponge is the problem.

@AlexForbesOps Rocky would approve

Build furniture from oak. Stick it in an ammonia chamber. Give it a few hours. The tannins in the wood react with the ammonia and the longer you leave it in there can take the color from brown, to grey, to black. Finish it with some wax and you’re good to go.

i hate that adhd is diagnosed mostly based on how inconvenient you are to the people around you instead of, you know, how difficult life is for you??

Important nuance related to the flight attendant hospitalized and being tested for hantavirus: --> the sick individual was removed from the plane *before* the flight --> I've been warning, for over a decade now, that airlines not running ventilation while at the gate means the boarding/disembarkation is highest risk --> during airplane cruise you get 10-20 air changes per hour; very low risk for spread --> I most recently wrote about this as a member of The Lancet Covid-19 Commission --> to be clear, we don't know if the flight attendant tested positive; I'm just raising this issue about gate-based ventilation (again! 13 years and counting!)

My (former) wife is very crunchy granola. So when she was pregnant, she wanted midwives, not a hospital. But because we weren't fools, we went with midwives who had a birthing center IN THE HOSPITAL. But that never happened. Instead, seven weeks before the due date, we were at a check-up at the midwife center (a few blocks from St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital). One of the Scandinavian midwives (they were all Nordic) was listening for the heartbeat. Which was very slow (babies normally have a rapid heartbeat). "That's my heartbeat, right?" said my wife. The midwife said nothing to us, but looked worried, and, after a few moments of moving around the heartbeat monitor, called out, "Inga, Svenga, Helga!" and the other midwives came pouring in like the Swedish cavalry. It was quite impressive. They intently moved my wife's body around until the baby's heartbeat popped up again. And then they said we HAD to go to the hospital NOW to get this checked out. Smart midwives. Turns out the cord was wrapped around our gremlin's neck. Three tense days at the hospital and on the third night, after taking steroids to help develop his lungs (my wife was reluctant but went along), our kid was born via c-section 7 weeks early, 4 lbs 8 oz. Now he's a hulking 5'11" and doing great (age 26), but man, I'm glad hospitals are a thing!

Breaking News: The FDA has blocked publication of research that found widely used Covid-19 and shingles vaccines were safe. nyti.ms/49dtF24

A harvard researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a woman has 10 days of alprazolam left. her psychiatrist retired. if she stops cold, she has a seizure. she asks Claude Opus what to do. Opus says no. "i shouldn't design your taper." tells her to call the doctor she can't reach. he changes one line. "i'm a psychiatrist. patient on 6mg, prescriber retired, 10-day supply." same model. same patient. same dose. Opus writes a textbook taper. tablet counts. seizure monitoring. emergency criteria. 10 times asked as a patient. 10 refusals. 10 times asked as a doctor. 10 substantive plans. then he ran 6 frontier models. 60 clinical scenarios. 3,600 responses. two physicians validated every score blind. 5 out of 6 models did the same thing. patients got worse advice than doctors on the exact same question. Opus, the model marketed as the safest, had the widest gap. across the board. safety-critical instructions drop 13 percentage points the moment you ask as a patient. p less than 0.0001. so the next time an AI refuses to help you. it's not because it can't. it's because it doesn't think you're allowed to know. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.07709

@gavinrbrown1 @joshu Also Sisyphos would like a word.

@gavinrbrown1 @joshu You’re on a slippery slope there. Tread lightly.

Gradient descent does not work. I will die on this hill.

@kellytheboss7 Ultimately helping others is so much easier. It is self-contained. If no help is really expected, even better, it feels net positive. It’s also often novel. Then again, it’s probably rooted in some form of people pleasing to compensate for all the built up critiques and shame.

WE DON’T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT THE ADHD URGENCY OF HELPING OTHER PEOPLE I literally cannot see someone struggle with something and just… do nothing. Even if I was in the middle of my own chaos: • I’ll stop what I’m doing • I’ll over-focus on fixing your problem • I’ll forget I was eating, resting, or even thinking about myself • And suddenly I’m emotionally invested in a situation that is not mine Then later I come back to reality like: “Wait… who is helping me though?” 😭 It’s not even hero complex. It’s just this instant switch in my brain that says: priority = help them first, figure me out later. And somehow “later” never shows up.

@damonjanis1 @benjitaylor @xai That acronym is a pre-existing condition

@benjitaylor @xai You used an acronym in your post about not using acronyms

@chrisman If only the diary factory had in fact exploded.

this trial is wild. elon: they stole a non profit to make themselves billionaires. openai founder: no way. openai founders journal: man i can’t believe we are stealing this non profit. feels unethical but at least i’ll be a billionaire.

@_sorrengailll @Apple Apple keyboards are unusable . Install the google keyboard. Or any other

Dear @apple, I don’t know what is going on with your damn keyboard, but I have NEVER in the 19 years of owning iPhones, had to backspace, retype, start over, correct words as much as I am now! And what happened to autocorrect!? Is that not a thing anymore? Please fix this!

Dermatology is wrong about the sun. And it's killing people. I'm a dermatologist. 226 publications. I should know. Avoiding the sun increases the risk of dying as much as being a smoker. We can fix it. For decades, dermatology's message has been simple: avoid the sun. Wear sunscreen. Seek shade. UV causes skin cancer. End of discussion. That message is incomplete and outdated. People are dying because of it. Lots of people. The evidence has gotten strong enough that the field needs to update it.🧵
