I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… + 34% reduced all-cause mortality + 27% reduced major heart disease + 34% reduced stroke + 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)
