Had to jump in and experiment with @_chenglou's Pretext. BioMap is a 52 biomarker blocks that expand as you explore, reflowing text across every block every frame.
0.04ms for all 52 layouts only possible with Pretext turning text measurement into pure math. No DOM reads, no reflows.

The one thing I will forever cherish is opening the door when I get home from work and my girls running up to me saying, “Hi baba!!!”
Because no matter what kind of goofy shit happened on that day. Nothing else matters.
The world's least creative lawyers got together and decided to destroy all UX.
I want to know the law that requires me to check the box on the the TOS that I definitely will not read before I click on the only CTA possible while trying to get access to airport WiFi.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
A common dynamic I observe with AI: it feels most impressive when you don’t know much about the subject, don’t care or don’t have a clear idea of what the you want.
This applies across design, code, legal, and more. If I don’t know code very well, every piece of code it writes feels very impressive.
Once you know what something should feel or look like, it becomes almost impossible to guide AI there. And you definitely can’t one-shot it.
Most recruiters and founders have no idea Claude can 10x — maybe 100x — their hiring pipeline.
The reason: Claude can't search for people on LinkedIn. It never could.
Until now.
Here's how I wired Claude into a 1B+ profile dataset in 10 minutes 👇🧵

@bryan_johnson Hi Bryan, I'm building Otto Lab (https://t.co/NtqxJSW5Ka) as the data layer for all of your labs, dexa, v02, wearables, health stacks, etc. I would love to see if there's way to collaborate.
The hidden architecture of a bird’s voice. 🙌🏻
Did you know a bird's song can be mapped into a mathematical fingerprint? 🧬
This isn't sci-fi; it's the real-time mapping this is a multi-dimensional bioacoustic visualization of a Carolina Wren's song.
By tracking the frequencies, can build a unique radar chart signature for the species. It tracks spectral flatness , entropy, and slope in 3D space to reveal the hidden geometry behind the music.
Nature is literally math in motion.
the video tracks specific spectral features that define the bird's unique Vocal Signature. 🥺
A beautiful reminder of the complexity hiding in everyday sounds.
