@aakashgupta It's helpful to actually read the study. "Because this is an observational study, it remains uncertain whether this relationship is causal."

Drugs rotted Elon’s brain. Now X is rotting ours. I’m usually associated with startups, innovation, and education. Not very active on this hellhole anymore.

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people.
Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade.
The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds.
Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2.
Tennis almost triples jogging.
A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%.
The question is why racket sports destroy everything else.
Three mechanisms stack on top of each other.
First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system.
Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline.
Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%.
Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community.
Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@ASychov I was talking about banning Hungary from the EU if Orban stayed in power and continued acting against European interests and sucking Putin off.

@ASychov What the hell are you talking about? Orban is a cancer on Europe.

People don't realize how bad autocrats are for their people.
Hungary is so poor that they need to shut down universities in the middle of the semester to save money.
Imagine being so broken as government that you can't pay your schools anymore and send students home.
Meanwhile his family and friends get ungodly rich.
Same with Putin and soon with Trump. They bankrupt their own countries for generations, fill their pockets, and blame everyone else for it.
Worst of all they are surrounded by yes-men so they even believe they are the victim here.

With less than 24 hours left until Hungarians head to the polls, I figured it is a good moment to take one final look at what Viktor Orbán has achieved in his 16 years of uninterrupted, near absolute reign in Hungary, by comparing Hungary’s performance with that of Romania.🧵

@Amank1412 IMO, auto-generated AI slop. What is the relationship to "vibe coded" (aka also AI slop) loot-drop dot io, btw? Seems to be almost identical content?

A small logistics firm is quietly breaking Europe’s sanctions on Russia.
Berlin-based shipping network moves banned goods to Moscow disguised as postal parcels — exploiting loopholes in EU law. Reporters tracked packages with GPS from a German supermarket to Russia, Politico. 1/

Here are all the lighthouses of the Northern Seas, each light is the right color, each turns or pulses at the right frequency, and is scaled with its brightness. You can also see how far they are visible.
I had Claude Code build this and upload it here: lighthouse-atlas.netlify.app

Today, we're introducing Spectre I, the first smart device to stop unwanted audio recordings.
We live in a world of always-on listening devices.
Smart devices and AI dominate our world in business and private conversations.
With Deveillance, you will @be_inaudible.

The International Paralympic Committee has prohibited the Ukrainian Paralympic Team from wearing their national uniform due to… its inclusion of elements of the Ukrainian map within its internationally recognized borders.
There is no moral low that the IPC bureaucrats would not reach. They are ready to ruin the remains of the Committee's reputation by acting against UNGA resolutions, Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and international law, only to please Russian war criminals.
We urge the international community, including all countries and national Paralympic committees, to condemn the IPC's immoral actions, including their disgraceful decision to allow blood-stained Russian and Belarusian flags, and to boycott the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games.
Please, take a clear stance and refuse to be part of the IPC's war crimes sportswashing!

Pocket is the new Juicero. You can quote me on it. Oh, and comes with privacy concerns to boot.
Sooraj@iAnonymous3000
Pocket (@Heypocket) sold 30,000 units in 5 months recording doctor visits, legal calls, and board meetings. So I did my due diligence like I always do. Their Google Play listing says "No data collected." Their own privacy policy lists audio recordings, transcripts, device IDs, ad identifiers, cookies, IP location, and behavioral inferences. One of those is wrong. They brand themselves "open source". Their GitHub org (github.com/heypocketai) contains exactly 4 repositories: - Raspberry Pi Zero prototype called icecream-project [from the CEO's prior Omi work], - FFmpeg Flutter fork, - docs repo, - org profile page. The actual Pocket device firmware, mobile app, backend infrastructure, and audio processing pipeline are NOT here. There is NO Pocket source code to audit. Recordings go to unnamed "cloud/AI vendors" with no disclosure of which LLMs process your audio, what jurisdiction they operate in, or how long they retain it. Users can't choose their provider or bring their own keys. If you cancel your $19.99/month subscription, your recordings get processed by whichever default model Pocket selects. The contact mic is marketed for recording phone calls without speakerphone. In 11+ US states including California (where Pocket is based) -- that requires all party consent. The device has NO consent mechanism. Their terms cap liability at the amount you've paid or $100 (whichever is greater) - for data breaches involving your medical appointments, legal consultations, and proprietary meetings. A third‑party LobeHub skill has already reverse‑engineered Pocket’s web API and can pull recordings, transcripts, summaries, and action items using short‑lived Firebase bearer tokens extracted from the user’s browser session. Their privacy policy confirms that if Pocket is acquired -- every recording, transcript, and summary transfers to the buyer.

🚨 Someone just open sourced a fully autonomous AI hacker and it's terrifying.
It's called Shannon.
Point it at your web app, and it doesn't just scan for vulnerabilities. It actually exploits them. Real injections. Real auth bypasses. Real database exfiltrations.
Not alerts. Not warnings. Actual working exploits with copy-paste proof-of-concepts.
Here's what this thing does autonomously:
→ Reads your entire source code to plan its attack
→ Maps every endpoint, API route, and auth mechanism
→ Runs Nmap, Subfinder, and WhatWeb for deep recon
→ Hunts for Injection, XSS, SSRF, and broken auth in parallel
→ Launches real browser-based exploits to prove each vulnerability
→ Generates a pentester-grade report with reproducible PoCs
Here's the wildest part:
It follows a strict "No Exploit, No Report" policy. If it can't actually break it, it doesn't report it. Zero false positives.
It pointed at OWASP Juice Shop and found 20+ critical vulnerabilities in a single run including complete auth bypass and full database exfiltration.
On the XBOW Benchmark (hint-free, source-aware), it scored 96.15%.
Your team ships code daily with Claude Code and Cursor. Your pentest happens once a year. That's 364 days of shipping blind.
Shannon closes that gap. One command. Fully autonomous.
The Red Team to your vibe-coding Blue team. Every Claude coder deserves their Shannon.
10.6K GitHub stars. 1.3K forks. Already trending.

"Vladimir Putin, the mass-murdering KGB dictator, has been straight with me." There are only two options here. Either he's a complete idiot, or he's a traitor and a thief who hopes everyone listening is a complete idiot.

Witkoff on Putin: He's never been anything other than straight with me. I say that and I get attacked but that is an accurate statement.

Is this true @Ubiquiti ? Supporting the Russian army.. If that's the case we will stop buying your stuff and change brand in our factory.We are talking about over 200 different units. From a CK Enterprise to small sensors. I rather pay more and have a clean conscience than support a company that's helping Russia.
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
NEW from @hntrbrkmedia: Equipment from the US tech giant Ubiquiti is a major enabler of the Russian army in Ukraine. We spend months infiltrating the Russian military's supply chain, unearthing military documents and other evidence that show how Russia relies on $UI equipment.
