Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

@selfawareplant for me, five years of trauma therapy with a licensed therapist, but my anxiety was part of my complex trauma. If it is just basic anxiety, it probably wont need years of treatment,

The essence of anxiety is avoidance. Anxious people are expert avoiders and procrastinators and excuse makers. Does this resonate for you? If so, there is no shame in it!! Anxiety is very treatable. It can be healed.

If you eliminate those then your experience is much smoother (rotation only).

@selfawareplant @tszzl No. Some achieve that ability out of their own strength and effort but it's no thanks to their abusers. Giving them credit is the ultimate defeat.

“oring theory” is true on the individual cognition level especially at high levels of skill. minor differences in energy levels, stamina, focus, emotional stability etc change what you are capable of by orders of magnitude

@tszzl That's why child abuse is so fucked up. you're not just giving a person trauma, you're destroying their cognitive potential.

“I asked my friends if they would rather have $500k and be 30 or have $5mm and be 40. 100 pct said be 30. I agree with this.” The masculine urge to walk away from golden handcuffs to build something that’s yours before it’s too late.

It’s cliche but life comes at you fast. I go back and forth between pushing for a sense of urgency in life versus enjoying the journey. I’m in my 40s and feel young but also am stressed that I don’t have enough time. Recently I connected with two early 30 hedge fund guys asking for advice. First guy’s path was equity research and then pod hedge funds where he’s experienced some bad luck as both of his portfolio managers at different firms had been let go after poor performance. Recruiters were chasing him and his resume is clean so he would have been able to find a job quickly, but he was reticent to stay on his current path as the idea of finding a new job every 2-3 years seemed unsustainable. He came to the factory earlier this year to learn about business buying. Second guy’s path was banking, private equity and now single manager that has over a $1bn but performance has been blah and he is losing confidence it is a path of growth long term and is considering long only or pod hedge funds. He is smart enough he will both options no doubt. First guy lives a spartan life with his fiance (W2) and they live in a cheap apt outside of Manhattan to save money. They have enough liquidity to buy a sizable business and are now pursuing this path. They want to play the long game of finding a business knowing it could take time. Second guy is more debating if pods worth it given the stress and high turnover with exit options less clear to him if he’s 40 and gets canned (happens a lot) versus the lower beta long only path with less upside. I’m in year 4 of business ownership and it’s hard as heck and there have been periods where I didn’t pay myself for 6 months to prioritize not having to let employees go and pay down debt (I’ve paid off close to 7 figures of debt since the deal closed). I am still trying to figure shvt out myself and still have days I think I’m dead while other days I think my business is worth 8 figures. I’ve been fortunate that things have been working out, but what’s funny is that I would love to be 32 again. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized time is just as important if not more important than money. I had similar concerns as both of them at 32. I was at a pod and like most of the industry had severe career insecurity as I basically saw a team fired weekly. I was too scared/risk adverse to leave until I had a daughter and realized I wanted to be around her more. I asked my friends if they would rather have $500k and be 30 or have $5mm and be 40. 100 pct said be 30. I agree with this. Both of these guys will be fine. I get the stress. But 40 will be here sooner than they think and it’s smart they are both thinking out 5 years. They both don’t realize it because they are too focused myopically on their current decision trees, but they both still have something us older guys wish we had more of=> time.⏳ x.com/adamstatonsmit…

Yearly reminder that you can put bananas in the fridge one day before they are perfect and they'll last that way for a week even as the outside turns brown. You are a primate, eat more bananas.

HCA’s margin is 16%. The Mayo Clinic’s CEO makes $4M. The village priest runs St. Jude’s balance sheet through the Caymans. And the family doctor is the greedy one for wanting $200 cash for a physical.

FWIW my actual lowest period of agency was the 3 years straight I spent rotting my brain with nitrous, where I couldn't do anything but use all day every day. I was completely fucked physically, mentally, financially, everything by the end. I've been actually stuck in my life.
Daniel Yang@punished_daniel

@catehall I dunno, mark me as one of your skeptics. From reading your posts, you at your lowest period of agency resembles a *completely normal functional* adult
