@TheLOSTworld_ Hey @claudeai How much time do I need to watch every series on the list?

The total running time is approximately 4,700 to 5,000 hours. That equals roughly 200 days of continuous, non-stop 24/7 viewing, or about 6.5 to 7 years if watched at a regular pace of 2 hours per day.

@thesamparr I heard from a few people that they had done their detailed Ai tests and interviews multiple times but were rejected with flaky answers. Hope it’s not just to collect the interview exercise data.

Commenting here in case someone’s successfully joined them as a remote worker.

over the past few days people have been sharing stories about their awful interactions with VCs.

Here is a roundup of the most hilarious, embarrassing, bizarre, and backstabbing stories 🧵👇

Alarming findings from Tabba Heart Institute’s National ACS data

Nearly 1 in every 13 heart attack patients in Pakistan is aged 40 or younger. Even more concerning, 2% are 30 or younger.

In Karachi alone, an estimated 103 heart attacks occur every day, including around 10 in people under 40.

Stress, Anxiety and Poor lifestyle choices are driving premature heart disease in our youth. Pakistan is facing a silent epidemic!

6 hours vs 8 hours of sleep.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening.

UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm.

The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6.

Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it.

The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in.

About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters.

"I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.

Hoping that the next generation of city planners improve upon the 6.5 inch wide uneven access paths and stairs which are inaccessible for seniors and wheelchairs.

Lack of the most basic planning and common sense.

PLEASE get your blood tests & relevant scans done every 3 months & force your loved ones to get comprehensive checkups.
