Gratitude is a strange magic if you follow it all the way down. i started one evening counting what i owed and could not stop the counting, the bread, the teeth to chew it, the some farmer's lumbago in some wet field, of the unremembered woman who boiled water for wounds in a plague century so that someone could survive to breed my grandfather's grandfather. every squalid bloody accident of history lining up like servants to hand me this morning, and by the end of it i was grinning alone in my kitchen like a village idiot

I’ve successfully run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome, all 166,700 neurons, inside Minecraft, with its simulated neural activity driving a fly’s movement.

V1 Currently in development. Built with the help of GPT-6 Astra.

Props to the @OpenAI team and @thsottiaux for this release. Code and mod coming soon!

Are you really in love or are you in all honesty giving the grief of your childhood a face?

[alexei @alexeixbt]

you can't "positive think" your way out of a low state. but you can actually grow new neurons. here's how.

your brain doesn't care what you tell yourself. it cares what you repeat.

every time you think the same thought, feel the same reaction, fall into the same pattern, those neurons fire together. keep that up for weeks, months, years, and they wire together. at some point it's not just a bad day anymore. it's a loop that's gotten carved into your nervous system.

that's why forcing a smile or repeating "i'm fine" over and over doesn't really change anything. it's like painting over a wall that's already caving in.

so what actually works?

neurogenesis, your brain's ability to grow new neurons. physically, not metaphorically, not "energetically." actual new cells.

and you don't even have to believe in it for it to work. you just have to start moving differently.

small, repeated actions that break the old loop, that's the signal your brain needs to start laying down a new pathway.

SOMEONE BUILT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IN YOUR BROWSER.

YOU CAN FLY THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW.

no download. no app. no account.

you open the tab and you are in space.

it's called Galaxium. https://t.co/GjBcK32Hdb.

scroll out from Earth. Mars. Jupiter. Saturn with real rings. past Pluto. past Voyager 2, still flying since 1977. into the Milky Way. you hit Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy. the light bends around it. real physics.

click any object. it flies you there.

126 points on Hacker News. people are not bookmarking it. they are flying through it.

just a website that lets a normal person leave Earth for a few minutes.

we built the internet and somehow one of the best things on it right now is still:

open tab.
fly into space.

When my children finally are ready to learn physics, chemistry, biology, I’m going to make sure they see the best visualizations out there. Too often people are expected to imagine stuff like this in their head after studying the equations and concepts.

Some of you clearly didn’t pay attention reading The Great Gatsby in high school…

You can’t recreate the past.

It’s gone forever.

If you desperately miss certain feelings or moments in time;

You’re going to be insane.

Because you’re longing for something that doesn’t exist.

The universe will make sure you'll win if you just believe in yourself. Universe doesn’t reward talent, luck, or intelligence first , it rewards the one who believe in themselves. let me remind you every good thing that you have in your life came after you decided to believe in it. even when nothing seems to be working. even when it feels quiet. even when your faith starts to shake a little. keep believing. keep visualizing. Keep showing up like it's already yours. Universe moves in silence before it reveals its magic. what you can't see is still unfolding. what feels delayed is simply on its right time. your belief is the bridge between where you are and where you're meant to be. Hold the vision a little longer cause It's already on its way to you. Manifest the sh!t out of it!!!

every woman in her healthiest, most sensual state is like a cat. she takes her sweet time relaxing, gets enough sleep, enjoys her solitude, moves away from overstimulation, observant, moves with grace, intentional with who gets her affection, has strong boundaries, adores herself

I LOVE neuroplasticity. It gives me so much strength to keep bringing a positive change in my life, to think that YES my mind is with me. My mind is not working against me, but with me. Slowly & surely, we'll overcome our challenges.
