The current physical activity guidelines are too low.

I've been saying this for a while. And a new study confirms it.

Meeting the standard 150 minutes/week was associated with only a modest ~8–9% lower cardiovascular risk.

The biggest protection occurred at roughly 560–610 minutes/week, about 3–4× higher, where cardiovascular risk was 30% lower.

We need to distinguish between the minimal activity volume required for basic protection, and the substantially higher volumes required for optimal resilience.

My reply to someone considering starting a video game company:

The distribution of possible rewards for starting a video game company are generally not very good today. The market is well served, and gaining a foothold requires strong execution on both business and product issues, along with a substantial amount of luck. Plan to burn through seven figures with a not-great chance of making it back.

If you do go for it, some bits of advice:

Identify your customers clearly before you start. Not just a broad community, but specific people, and imagine them as you make decisions.

Initially, build the smallest, most concise game you can imagine anyone paying for. It will still take much longer than you expect.

Once something exists, hill-climb the value. Hopefully you will have some elements that clearly bring joy to people, which you can magnify. There will inevitably be tons of things that people find confusing, frustrating, or just boring that you will need to fix.

Are you watching NBA games on Apple Vision Pro? Update the app now! NBA has released an amazing feature called “World View”. It’s tabletop with an environment. My favorite one is of course the Toronto Raptors environment. Thank you @NBA for believing in the future of Apple Vision Pro. #AppleVisionPro #NBA #SpatialComputing #Apple

They finally did it! YouTube is now an official app for Apple Vision Pro and can be downloaded from the App Store. It features 3D, 180 and 360-degree content and an optimised user interface.

So far I really like it. Still, it feels surreal that this is actually happening.

Marty at Id did ask for a video from me, but there was a miscommunication about when he needed it, so I didn’t get it done by the actual anniversary…

This seems to be the prevailing sentiment amongst non-climbers...

But it's simply wrong.

Honnold's climb of Freerider on ElCap (which was captured on film by the legendary Jimmy Chin) is EASILY 10x more impressive than what Alex did on the skyscraper.

I don't think it's possible to fully appreciate the absurdity of Honnold's free solo of ElCap unless you yourself have been on that climb.

I have...
I've been up there...
I've done all the moves...

(and this was during a period of my life wher I was in the top 0.00001% of strongest climbers in the world)

And I got my ass handed to me.

The 13a crux 23 pitches off the ground is unbelievably technical and requires a level of precision that, to execute without a rope, is nearly unbelievable.

This is a hill I will gladly die on:

Honnold's free solo of ElCap is THE single most impressive athletic achievement in human history.

Nothing else comes even remotely close.

(and certainly not this skyscraper).

If you want to have your paradigm for what humans are capable of turned upside down...

Go watch Free Solo.

One of the greatest athletes of all time. 🧗🏼 Another incredible example of complete physical and mental mastery. Continuously pushing the limits of human excellence.

I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.
