He must increase. I must decrease. Romans 5:8. Oh, and I do stuff with computers.

@signulll I believe Aswath Domdoran closed 50% of his position around this time as well. There are lots of smart people who worry NVDA is overvalued.

I got C-holed.
Suffered sleep consequences.
I busted my screens-off rule.
Turned down socializing.
Fell behind on work.
Kate is now upset.
AI is preposterous. As close to magic as I’ve experienced (except a seed becoming a tree and a zygote becoming a baby).
It started on April 2nd when Karpathy shared LLM Knowledge bases. I wondered if this was the opening to structure the 1.5 billion data points I’ve collected on my body over the past five years. It's the most dynamic n=1 biomarker dataset in history. It was just sitting there.
Next thing I knew two weeks had passed and Kate was wondering if she lost her boyfriend to Claude.
I’m non-technical. Which honestly makes me sad. I wish I’d grown up with a computer or at least been around engineer culture. I didn’t know anyone technical until my early 20s.
I became an entrepreneur at 21 and had my first of three kids at 25. I sold Braintree Venmo at 34. Learning to code stayed on my to-do list through all of it. The timing was never right. I was always on the outside looking in, wishing I had the skills to assemble 0's and 1's into digital structures.
The exhilaration I’ve felt in the past two weeks is hard to explain. The 1.5 billion data points became a functional database, queryable, and microscope into my 70 trillion cells. The biological age of my organs updated in real-time like stock tickers. My build morphed from a knowledge base into a breathing organism that was self-learning and in sync with my heartbeat. I did this entirely on my own. It’s buggy, breaks and the data needs to be cleaned, but damn it’s cool.
It became a mirror and ledger, one I could ask questions to. About my psyche, behavioral patterns, biology and protocols. Patterns across my life I couldn't previously connect. It’s made me insatiably hungry for more data.
I’ve written about Autonomous Health, how cars now drive themselves and software wires itself. Health is next. My build showed me what it looks like in practice.
Before Kate started protesting, she joked that she felt relieved for herself, our colleagues, and the world that I’d found something that matches my energy. That they could all express a sigh of relief. It’s true. This experience left me wondering if I’ve been bored my entire life. Never having found something that could match my work ethic, speed, intensity, and build capacity. Something that didn’t have the delays of the real world, human complications, or logistical drag.
Two weeks deep in AI and I'm realizing that when people talk about AI, they're not talking about the same thing. Someone using a chat interface has a completely different opinion than someone building with it. And that chasm deepens for the people seeing what's coming next but isn't yet public. Society can't have a coherent conversation about AI because everyone's intuitions are calibrated to a different version of it.
Off-the-shelf LLMs are mostly useless beyond narrow tasks. When they get you 80% there, it's often faster to do the whole thing yourself. And they're dangerous because the hallucination is hard to detect. Now you don't know what you don't know.
Give them expanded context, memory, and architectures for self-reflection and autonomous learning, and you start to realize that AI is bigger than any of us can fit in our context window.
I need to take Kate on a date, turn my screens off on time, and get some work done.
And then properly dose C.

@texasrunnerDFW To each their own. Not saying you can't have anything nice, but you have to have a budget.

@texasrunnerDFW The responses in this message give me confidence that these same principles will help my kids eventually excel past their peers. Everyone wants instant gratification and "maximum quality of life" right now.

Dave Ramsey is king of good financial advice that is NOT POSSIBLE FOR 90% OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Like, yes, if you happen to have a six figure downpayment laying around and earn $400,000 a year, you can do this
Median earners won’t find ANY homes that can meet this criteria
Adam Koffler@AdamKoffler
Here’s Dave Ramsey’s advice on buying a house in the year 2026: - Have 20% for a down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) - Do a 15-year fixed rate loan - Make sure your monthly payment isn’t more than 1/4th of your take home pay Let’s put that math to the test 👇🏼

@code_cowboy @EffectTS_ i use the axiom mcp server & their api spec in executor.sh, works pretty well

@foundmyfitness Late meals raise body temp, spike insulin as melatonin rises, and keep your gut working when you should be repairing.
English

One of the simplest things I do for sleep is to stop eating about 3 hours before bed.
It's something that’s supported pretty consistently in the research.
When you eat (especially a large meal), you’re activating the sympathetic nervous system... not what you want when you’re trying to wind down and get into deep, restorative sleep.
If you occasionally eat late, it’s not a big deal. But as a habit, giving yourself that 3-hour buffer can make a meaningful difference. If you do need something before bed, keep it light - something like a small protein shake rather than a heavy meal.

@theficouple Currently, no. Interest rates under 4%, probably. (20% down)

@HamDunbar @jon_wingfield @ITARviolation The differential would still basically work out to someone floating you a $260k loan at 0.35% which is a rate I would gladly pay right now if anyone wants to offer
English

@elonmusk This will just cause massive inflation. It's not compatible with capitalism. Scarcity will always exist and this won't solve that, it will make it worse.
English
@ITARviolation You also pay income tax on that 5%, which for most people would reduce it to 3.9%

@RhysSullivan Have you had any success with the various Plan Mode options available? Codex plan mode hasn't been great for me

@mitchellh I had never been in a Tesla up until last weekend. It was mid at best. I know how to drive a car on my own though so maybe that’s why I don’t see the hype.
English

Traded in my 2020 Model S for a brand new plaid X before they discontinue it. Car is amazing, but the FSD hype is real. It blew away my expectations coming from the 2020 hardware. 95% of my miles are self driven in LA over the past month. I wouldn’t have even believed myself lol.
Even my wife who HATED autopilot on my prior car is totally blown away. She’s asked multiple times “did you drive?” And I say “not at all.” And she’s just like… wow.
Great job @Tesla for real. I’ve owned a Model S since 2013. This is my 3rd, first X (for me personally). Just fantastic.

@RhysSullivan You cool with the "vercel security check" that takes 10s before the site loads? Optimizing for returning users?
(First time I clicked it actually timed out)

@paularambles Imma do this as much as possible when I'm in sf in June.

It's definitely harder for some than for others. If you run a calorie deficit for long enough, you're guaranteed to stall for one of several reasons. Doing a diet break, reducing calories further, adding cardio and other options will help you break through this.
The great part about losing weight is it doesn't last forever! Eventually, after one or more cycles, you reach an optimum weight and you can slowly adapt to maintenance calories and enjoy feeling and looking better.
English

@MedUniDoc @BioLayne i have a food scale and weigh everything and while i lost weight initially, i have stalled and haven’t despite being active and eating whole foods. it’s harder for some people

@kenwheeler @AdamRackis Why do married people talk like this?

How many times does the phrase "faith alone" appear in the Bible? And what specifically does the Bible say about "faith alone"?
Frank Turek@DrFrankTurek
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works?
