zohran vibe coding for the people

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?

Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.

Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

twitter is cool bc i would never think to try autoresearch on my own, ty @karpathy

but twitter also sucks bc the human mind was not meant to watch war unfold in real time

[saarim @1saarim]

recruiting sucks

[saarim @1saarim]

recruiting is an incredible waste of time

its exactly like studying for the SAT

learning arbitrary knowledge to forget it immediately once its over

interviewers ask you to dance and if you don't dance well or in their preferred style its joever

its humiliating, and often the skills tested don't even reflect real world performance

if you knew the what they'd ask before the interview you would 100% knock it out of the park

on the flip side i think its very difficult to "fairly" assess ones ability in a 60 min interview

so we make these contrived situations and see who passes the bar

need a job tho and this is the game

so we learn to play the game

today someone took over the #2 spot on @getjukeboxd!

genuinely one of the most fulfilling and satisfying things i've ever done is build something that people use fanatically

consumer products are hard and jukeboxd bleeds money but its worth bc people love it!

[saarim @1saarim]

@p0 cut costs down by more than half with @p0 chat and its significantly more accurate for @getjukeboxd

[saarim @1saarim]

web search from @p0 is so goated

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done.

Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism.

Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger.

Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it.

After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution.  Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics.

This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication.

Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant.

It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought.

You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type.

If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.
