This is the real secret of life—

to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now.

And instead of calling it work,
realize it is play.

Jordan Peterson’s method for remembering everything you read:

Stop highlighting. Stop taking notes while reading.

Read a section → close the book → write down what you remember in your own words. Reformulate it. Connect it. Criticize it.

That’s how information actually becomes part of you.

What’s your take, do you learn and retain more by actively recalling and rewriting, or by highlighting and passive note-taking?

A 21-YEAR-OLD FROM CHINA RUNS 300 AI AGENTS AT ONCE. THE PART THAT MATTERS ISN'T THE SPEED, IT'S THAT NONE OF THEM CAN LIE TO HIM

he opens the dashboard and shows the swarm live, 300 Kimi K2.6 agents firing in parallel, then Opus 4.8 checking every single output against its source. this is not just a faster swarm. it is a loop that refuses to stop while anything is still wrong

he pointed it at 100 EV-market companies. first pass: 12 failed. wrong revenue, dead citations, empty fields. second pass: 3 failed. third pass: zero

this is not another agent demo. it is a system that catches its own mistakes before he reads a single row

@MrxMoex @Math_files @grok Repeatability of experiments and p-value hacking is a real problem in social sciences and medicine.

P-value, a measure of the probability that the results occurred as random chance, is another useful measure of the validity of the hypothesis.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DETECTED QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT INSIDE A CRYSTAL LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD IN YOUR HAND.

For the first time, researchers have measured a strong collective quantum entanglement involving at least nine particles acting together inside a macroscopic strange metal crystal large enough to hold in your hand.

Using a technique from quantum information theory called quantum Fisher information, the team at TU Wien showed that the crystal’s constituents respond to perturbations in a way that can only be explained by multipartite entanglement, not by independent particles.

Why this matters:

• It proves quantum entanglement can persist at genuinely macroscopic scales in real materials
• It offers a new explanation for the bizarre properties of strange metals, including their unusually quiet (low-noise) electrical current
• The quantum Fisher information method provides a powerful new tool to quantify entanglement in solids
• It creates a direct bridge between quantum information science and condensed matter physics

The deeper implication:

We usually think of quantum effects as fragile phenomena that only survive in carefully isolated single particles or tiny systems.

This experiment shows that in certain strongly correlated materials, large numbers of particles can become collectively entangled even in a real, solid crystal at accessible temperatures.

This doesn’t just expand our understanding of strange metals it suggests that entanglement may be a fundamental ingredient behind some of the most exotic behaviors in quantum materials, and could eventually be harnessed for quantum sensing or metrology at larger scales.

Quantum mechanics isn’t just for the microscopic world anymore.

How do you think detecting entanglement in macroscopic materials could change the way we design future quantum technologies?
