Romantic discernment is a basic form of preventative healthcare that everyone should practice

@kimmonismus always hated the vibe of jacobians. now i know why, smh

I have rarely seen science Twitter so excited and shocked as in this scenario.
The next few months will be literally unbelievable.

Claude Fable 5 has produced a hand-checkable counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, an open problem dating to 1939. The conjecture says that a polynomial map with a constant non-zero Jacobian determinant must have a polynomial inverse. An 87-year-old problem was casually solved by Fable 5 on a sunday evening. Insane times to live in.

@corbindreams i get this same feeling after skateboarding. absolute content and bliss

meditation will make you really clumsy and you’ll spill orange juice on your favorite shirt but you’ll be so baseline unworried that you won’t mind
Nick@nickcammarata
meditation will nuke your short term memory and you'll end up doing basic things twice in a row because you forgot you just did it, but you'll be so baseline happy doing anything that you won't mind doing things twice
English
its incredible how manual it still is to know our mental capacity everyday
English
@hubermanlab yeah, maybe. the research primarily points to acute harm from shifting, but harm from forced social schedules seems to do the real long term damage. It's much less a question of "what schedule is the healthiest?" and more "what timing consistently improves my mental capacity?"
English
Lots of people asking about the shift to permanent daylight savings. The data clearly show locking to standard is best. For mental and physical health. That am sunlight is key, But if not, then locking to daylight savings second best. Shifting back-and-forth is the worst choice.

@clankrmedia we’re legit running out of helium but this is cool ig
English
Researchers built a soft floating robot for indoor interaction.
It uses helium and flapping fins instead of propellers.
The result is quiet, lightweight, and safe to touch.
It can follow people, give reminders, and act as a study buddy.

the brain basically does two things. predict the next state and allocate (perceived) resources. this is not very surprising
English
Just telling people they slept poorly led to impaired cognitive function. Telling them they slept fine preserved it.

@rohanpaul_ai @Scobleizer we’re just calling anything AI now huh
English
MIT just built an AI that can control your body.
It can move your fingers, make you play piano, even if you don’t know the song!
AI decides the hand movement. Wrist pads send signals to your muscles, so your fingers move even if you don’t know how
English
maybe my biomechanics class was useful after all…
finally derived statistically coherent geometric vocal tract shapes
we’re so up

@DeryaTR_ @foundmyfitness can’t wait til longevity tools start actually becoming accessible. to everyone, not just whoever has money and time to spend on getting an extra 5 years
English
If you can live even one decade beyond your current life expectancy in the age of AI, that could mean living hundreds of years longer, as we’ll reach longevity escape velocity by the late 2030s.
Listen to @foundmyfitness for top advice & don’t die, so you can live indefinitely!
FoundMyFitness Clips@fmfclips
5 lifestyle factors were associated with ~12–14 extra years of life expectancy at age 50 in a Harvard study: • Eat a healthy diet (think more vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and healthy fats) • Don't smoke • 3.5 hours/week of moderate or vigorous exercise • Avoid excess alcohol • Maintain a healthy BMI The bigger point: genetics matters, but a huge portion of how long (and how well) you live comes down to lifestyle
English
@hubermanlab yup, and its mostly a problem of improving psychological flexibility. there’s this assumption that mental resilience isn’t trainable but its often as simple as consistently engaging in breath modulation
English
Do you know how to maintain a calm, assertive and confident mental stance- especially in the face of challenge? Explained here. Critical skill regardless of whether you have a dog.

"the machinery that dials global consciousness up and down is upstream of the machinery that shapes your voice"
fascinating consciousness research insight

@hubermanlab will power is entirely trainable!! used to write blog posts about this, we are sooo AMCC coded rn

So much practical wisdom from Ido Portal in this new episode. Expose your will(power) w/discipline, leverage resistance as a springboard & mental barometer… these are not just words. Ido turns them into actionable concepts that will grow you. One of my favorite HLPs of all time.

@hubermanlab @pmarca @danawhite life really does change when you view your mind like a prediction algorithm. all priors, including thoughts, inform the scope of all future possibilities you can perceive
English
Senra podcast with @pmarca killed introspection, & his podcast with @danawhite nuked negative thinking & we are only halfway through 2026!
David Senra@davidsenra
.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity: “It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.” “There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’” “I never take in any negativity.”

Something that I love about working at @vercel is just how enjoyable it is to use our technology. From using the platform to ship new products, to the agents you find in our workspace that make life easier. It's like experiencing the future while building the future 🔁

@CoachDanGo most people aren't in tune enough to know their frequency.
pretty soon, that understanding will be as easy as speaking...but I digress
English
Take responsibility for your own happiness. Stop blaming others or complaining about things you have no control over. The things you desire are a frequency and you are the radio. Set your tune to what you want and remember that you are the cause and your results are the effect.
