SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

A guy scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it.

Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment.

Click → you’re inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal.

The numbers are insane:

- Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000
- Cost to make this scan: ~$200
- Time to “tour” 50 houses: one evening
- File size: smaller than a TikTok

The science is wild too:

It’s called 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons (how games render), it uses millions of tiny glowing “splats” of color and depth.

AI reconstructs reality from your photos. The result loads on a phone and looks like you’re THERE.

The grift opportunity is even wilder:

Freelancers are already charging $300–$800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, car dealers, museums.

One person + one phone + one weekend = a business.

I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED MY CTO'S PERSONAL NOTION WORKSPACE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHIPS 5X FASTER THAN THE REST OF US.

He is 48. I am 26. He manages 3 products and never works past 5 PM.
I work 10 hours a day and barely clear my Jira board.
In his workspace, one specific document explained everything:

Most people panic when the workload scales. They work longer hours, burn out, and eventually drop the ball. High performers do not manage time. They manage boundaries.

The document was a list of strict operating rules. Here are 18 systems you can steal.

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

🚨 One photo of your face. That's all someone needs to become you on a live video call. In real time. Right now. The tool is free and open source.

It's called Deep-Live-Cam.

One image. One click. You become anyone on a live webcam feed. No training. No datasets. No waiting. Instant.

Your face. Your expressions. Your mouth movements. All stolen from a single photo.

Here's what this thing does:

→ Upload one photo of any face
→ Turn on your webcam
→ You are now that person. Live. In real time.
→ It matches your pose, your expressions, even your lighting
→ Mouth masking so the swapped face moves its lips when you talk
→ Multi-face mapping. Swap different faces on different people in the same call.
→ Virtual camera output. Plug it into Zoom, Google Meet, Teams. Nobody knows.
→ Works on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Apple Silicon

Here's the part that should terrify you:

Your boss could be on a Zoom call with someone wearing your face right now. A scammer could call your parents looking exactly like you. A stranger could take your LinkedIn photo and become you in a video meeting.

IShowSpeed's reaction when he saw it: "What the F**! This shit is crazy!"

SomeOrdinaryGamers: "That's fucking freaky dude... that's so wild."

This was the #1 trending repo on GitHub the day it launched. 1,600 stars in 24 hours. 80K+ stars today.

No one is ready for what this means. And it's already out there.

100% Open Source.

modafinil is seriously so easy to run

but everyone messes it up big time

the pitfalls every noob falls into:

taking it too late
- half life is 12-15 hours
- a 10am dose = 3 hours of lost output
- and guaranteed sleep problems that night

solution:
set a second alarm 2 hours before your real one.
pop the modafinil.
go back to sleep.
by the time you wake up, modafinil is fully onset.
wake up turned ON.
sleep issues pushed back by 2 hours.

skipping choline
- modafinil burns through acetylcholine
- no choline source leads to headache at 5pm
- foggy evening
- wasted second half of your day

solution:
500mg citicoline in the morning.
not optional.
solves all of it.

modafinil doesn't feel stimulatory
- some people are poor responders due to CYP3A4 enzyme variation
- they metabolise it too fast for plasma levels to build properly

solution:
switch to armodafinil.
it's the purified r-enantiomer.
roughly 1.5x more potent at the same dose.
slower onset, longer peak.
some people prefer modafinil.
some armodafinil.
just genetics.
i love both.

not drinking water
- modafinil is quietly dehydrating
- most of the "side effects" people complain about are just dehydration

solution:
1 extra litre minimum.
include electrolytes.
i like to have several san pellegrino bottles on my desk.
drink more if you're also on caffeine.

eating too late or not at all
- it kills appetite
- you know this
- but running it fully fasted all day then crashing into a massive meal at 8pm
- destroys your sleep

solution:
small meal in the morning.
kefir is great.
eat a larger meal in the evening, but not massive.
keep the brain fed.

no cycling
- with daily use, sleep debt compounds disproportionately by day 5-6
- by day 7 you're running modafinil on terrible sleep

solution:
5 days on 2 days off.
or.
3 days on 1 day off.
after a few weeks.
your off days feel like modafinil days anyways.

making too much money:
sorry, this is a natural byproduct of modafinil use, can't help with that one.

solution:
quit.

what i actually use:

us domestic modafinil
https://t.co/v63uOpzSzE

us domestic armodafinil

You’ll never guess who sent me this.

He said, “watch Bitcoin.”

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

Andy Weir describing how he wrote The Martian and film got made is very entertaining.

He said, “I wanted to make sure dorks like me would enjoy it, so made it as scientifically accurate as possible”

Here the play-by-play:

▫️started writing full time in 1999 after getting fired from AOL (which had just merged with Netscape)

▫️he was a programmer and had a ton of stock options…because he was fired, had 6 months to excercise them and sold at AOL’s peak before bubble popped

▫️spent 3 years on book ideas that got “no traction” (and no agent wanted to sign him)

▫️went back to work as software engineer and wrote online as a hobby (webcomics, short stories, serials)

▫️The Martian was one of three serials he was working on 2009 (other one was about alien invading earth, another about a mermaid in 19th century New England)

▫️sent stories to a mailing list of 3,000 readers he had built up over a decade

▫️took 3 years to write The Martian, “posting a chapter at a time [every] 2 months” or so

▫️ “spent more time researching than writing, because researching was more fun than writing” (very relatable)

▫️readers corrected him along the way and when he was done, a bunch of them asked if he could make a Kindle version because reading it on his website sucked

▫️Weir didn’t want to charge because was making solid living as programmer…but Kindle has minimum of $0.99

▫️all his fans started buying the Kindle book and leaving positive reviews

▫️this “sales spike” pushed book up charts and hit bestseller lists and just snowballed after that on Amazon

▫️within a short span, major book publisher reached out…then Matt Damon expressed interest on a film project…then Ridley Scott threw his hat in the ring

▫️Weir negotiated these deals while “debugging code” on his day job

Described the process as “one of those things where everything just snuck up, bit by bit” before boooooooooom!!

Film came out in 2015: made $630m on $105m budget (and Project Hail Mary might pass that now).

While I do believe in dinosaurs this entire meme has me questioning things.

[Big Brain Business @BigBrainBizness]

Simon Sinek on why becoming a great leader requires the same mindset as becoming a great parent:

Everyone wants to have kids. Nobody thinks about raising them.

"People say, 'I want to have kids.' Nobody ever says, 'I would like to raise kids for 18 years.'"

Having kids is the fun, easy part.

Raising them is where reality sets in: the sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the moments where you have no idea what you're doing.

Sinek says leadership works exactly the same way.

Everyone gets excited about owning a business, building a team, holding the title. Then the people part arrives and nothing prepared you for it.

"The process is easy, you can figure that out. The systems you can master. But the people part is ongoing and sometimes overwhelming."

So what do the best leaders do when they hit that wall?

The same thing the best parents do.

They become students. They read books. They watch talks. They ask others how they're navigating it. Just like a first-time parent, the best leaders go find the education they didn't know they'd need.

Because nobody hands you a manual for the people part. That knowledge has to be actively sought.

And just like parenting, the hard stretches are punctuated by moments that make everything worth it.

Sinek calls them "unexpected glimmers."

Watching your team solve a problem without you feels the same as catching your kids sharing when they didn't know you were watching.

Seeing someone quietly grow into a leader themselves, not because you told them to, but because the environment you built made space for it.

You can't schedule these moments, but when they arrive, they reframe every frustrating stretch that came before.

And underneath all of it is the idea that drives Sinek's entire view of leadership:

To lead is to serve.

"To serve those who serve others is the greatest joy anyone can achieve in life."

The best leaders and the best parents share the same quiet understanding: the role was always bigger than they expected.

But they showed up anyway, kept learning, and found meaning in the growth of those they were responsible for.

That's what it means to lead. And that's what it means to serve.

Anthropic just plugged Claude into Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams on every plan. Including Free.

Microsoft charges $30/user/month for Copilot to do the same thing inside the same apps.

Read that again. Anthropic is offering access to your M365 data through Claude for $0. Microsoft is charging $30/seat/month for Copilot to access the same emails, the same docs, the same Teams threads. And Microsoft built the connector. They approved it in their own marketplace.

The M365 connector was enterprise-only since October. Gated behind Claude Team and Enterprise plans. Anthropic opened it to every plan today because the math changed: 400 million M365 paid seats where the incumbent AI costs $30/user/month, and now there's a free alternative that reads the same data.

Copilot adoption has been slow. Microsoft reported 2 million paid Copilot seats by early 2025, less than 1% of eligible accounts. The pitch was hard: $30/month per user on top of existing M365 licensing, for an AI that hallucinates your own calendar.

Anthropic looked at that 99% of unseated M365 accounts and built a front door.

The company charging $0 to read your work email will convert more users than the company charging $30 to summarize it. Anthropic is selling Claude through Microsoft's own plumbing, and Microsoft approved the listing.

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down.

It's called Project N.O.M.A.D.

A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses.

No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works.

Here's what's packed inside:

→ A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline)
→ All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable
→ Offline maps of any region you choose
→ Medical references and survival guides
→ Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking
→ Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef
→ Document upload with semantic search (local RAG)

Here's the wildest part:

A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker.

Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free.

One command to install.
