After 72 hours without a smartphone the brain shows changes in reward and craving circuits that resembles withdrawal.

[د. عبدالعزيز بن سعد ابن دغيثر ⚖ @Fiqh_issues]

أتعجب من بعض الآباء الذين يشترون لأبنائهم سيارات بأثمان باهظة، ويرفضون فكرة تزويجهم عند طلبهم الزواج
وقد كتبت:

يا معاشر المسلمين، زوِّجُوا أولادكم عند البلوغ
تزويج الأولاد حق واجب فقهًا ونظامًا

Humans spent centuries writing books, essays, articles, and research papers.

Then we used all that human writing to train AI systems to write like humans.

Then we built another AI system to inspect the writing and say, “This looks AI suspiciously.”

So now we have one machine trained on humans to sound human, and another machine trained on humans to figure out whether the first machine sounds a little too human.

And after all that, a stressed human still has to make the final call.

@arblauvelt This one is heart-touching, may Allah bless the recitor. He has other videos where he uses his recitation on stage for Dawah.

Ramadan is a holy month centered on reflection, remembrance, and reading, particularly of the Qur’an honored by Muslims around the world.

As Muslims in NYC prepare to celebrate Chaand Raat tonight and Eid al-Fitr, explore this lavishly illuminated double page in a blue and gold palette found at the beginning of the opening sūras (chapters) of the Qur’an, surrounds the main text in Arabic, with an interlinear translation in Farsi in red ink, reflecting the ways the text circulated and has been understood across communities and languages.

Addiction to short-form videos reduces brain activity in the frontal lobe weakening the ability to focus.

@AlexHormozi The real problem isn't the em dash. It's that AI learned to mimic good writing first. So now good writing looks fake and sloppy writing looks authentic. We're in a trust inversion.😅

The best way to improve is not to focus on results. It’s to focus on habits.

27 studies: Behavior change goals are 3x more effective than outcome goals in boosting performance. Growth depends on altering the actions we can control.

A key to progress is concentrating on process.

A kid gate crashed his mom's zoom interview and wanted to talk to me. She visibly embarassed and was trying to get rid of him. I told her to relax and took 5 mins to speak to the kid. He eventually left and the interview continued. At the end I told the her that I enjoyed talking to her and her son and that she can feel free to bring him along for the in person interview. We have some video games and food that he would like. She took up that offer. We eventually hired her - she was an excellent C++ dev. Years later she said that it was a pivotal moment of kindness that changed her career. It's one of my prouder moments in a rather cut throat career/industry.

One and only city that lives rent-free in my head. Still can't forget the days where I would travel 3-4 times per year, working out of the office. I knew every single street in Soho, Nolita, and Easy Village. The delis, museums, parks, food, diversity, it had everything you want. There is no other city that comes close to it.

Muslims reject Christmas theology, not Christ.

Confusing the two is a basic category error.
