Do this test to see if you'll live longer.
It's called the Sit and Raise Test.
Here's how to do it: You stand up, cross your legs back, and go into a seated position. Then from that position, you get yourself back up to a seated position.
Researchers tested 2000 adults ages 51-80.
They followed them for an average of 6.3 years & out of the 159 people who died only 2 scored a perfect 10.
Those who scored the lowest scores had a 5-6x higher risk of dying than those who scored 8-10.
Older adults who have muscular strength & flexibility are less likely to fall. Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths for people 65 & older.
The sit & raise is a test for basic strength & mobility.
You lose a point if:
- You place your hands on the floor
- Need support
- Touch knee to the ground
- Lose balance
- Support yourself on your side of the leg
You get 0 points if you can’t do this at all.
Scored a 10? Great.
Scored less than a 10? Use that as a baseline to improve on.

@zachtratar I wrote this 4 months ago and altho expanded a few things (Tool use now includes tool making, Browser Automation includes search APIs) it basically holds up.
You want to learn to build anything?
Build one thing that does one of each.
Boom, agent.

@Austen So 100x more effective per capita. Sounds about right. Which in turn is why founders end up 100x richer than their peers who go to work as ordinary employees.
Expensive shit that's worth every single penny:
• Personal Assistant
• Meal Prep / Chef
• House Cleaning
• Personal Trainer
• Tailored Clothing
• Personal Stylist
• 8 Sleep Mattress
• Dyson Vacuum Cleaner
What am I missing?
@_kushgupta Some investors just cannot grasp the implications of the fact that all the returns are concentrated in the big wins. The top tier investors get it though; you'll rarely lose one of them over price.
YC:
It's better to have 100 people love your product than 100,000 somewhat need it.
These 100 are important -> if only 10 people love it and need it, this is not PMF. (Within a reasonable time frame ~6 months max)
What I learned from speaking to a Quant:
AI/ML will not replace quants because quants will be developing these programs internally with proprietary data (They consider themselves above data scientists). Convinced AI will contribute to increases in operational efficiency.
First Tweet on X:
The world of Quantitative trading is very fascinating, I have the utmost respect for anyone that enjoys this career path. It truly enables mathematically inclined individuals to pursue a high paying and interesting career.
Ultimately Software (incl. AI) will do every business task for B2Bs from Advertising/Prospecting to Onboarding. Except for 1 on 1 interactions with clients i.e. Discos, Demos and UX research.
A former Air Force intelligence officer testifying before Congress said the U.S. is concealing a longstanding program that retrieves unidentified flying objects. The Pentagon has denied his claims.
Here’s what you missed in the hearing.
This is what eye rubbing looks like in MRI.
keratoconus (and possibly other ocular conditions) is caused by excessive eye rubbing

AI startups fall into two categories: 1. Harvest a large set of company data (external or internal), label the data and train the quality of the output.
2. Use existing language and text based AI models then add a great prompt filter, create a custom UI/UX for the output.
Going through every SaaS startup that went through YC in the last 5 years, learning about the current successes, failures and acquisitions. I should have done this 5 years ago.
YC attracts and funds the most innovative startups. Whether they be big bets or a small improvement.
