I cried and fixed my life after listening to The Gap between KNOWING and DOING by Jim Rohn
📍Don't let your learning lead to knowledge, you'll become a fool, let your learning lead to action, you'll become wealthy.
Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm
Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.
LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.
The evidence begs to differ.
216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.
Where are the regulators?

In 1983, a BBC interviewer asked Richard Feynman why two magnets push each other apart — and he refused to answer it.
What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed.
Bookmark & watch today, no matter what.
whoever leaked this has bigger balls than sense
someone at Anthropic hired 80 AI helpers onto one project, gave them twelve hours, and counted what came back usable: the two older models handed in 980 and 876 finished pieces of work, and almost none of it could be kept
turns out the newest helpers did better for a reason nobody wants to hear: they went off into their own corners and stopped opening each other's work
i ran two helpers at one document last week and got two confident versions of it, and i kept the one i wrote myself
Grok Bot is the version of this you can actually hire: a helper with a name, one job it owns, and nobody else allowed inside that job
you already pay about $20 a month for one chat window, and the setup that won in that report is one helper with one job it owns
run it tonight in a normal chat, 3 moves:
1. write the one job each helper owns in a single sentence before you open a second chat
2. keep every helper in its own chat with one document, so two of them can never rewrite the same thing
3. add a third only when you can say what it owns without repeating a job that is already taken
save this, then open the piece below:
what one hired helper is really worth, and the point where the next one starts taking it back ↓
i finally understand why the people who got everything they wanted are the ones who sound the emptiest. nobody i know would call it that, but everybody i know has it.
viktor frankl was a psychiatrist in vienna. he survived four camps. this interview is from 1979, and the interviewer opens by naming the most common illness of our time: meaninglessness.
frankl says a society built to satisfy people will meet every single need a person has, except one.
then comes the part i was not ready for. inside the camps, where everything was taken, people's symptoms disappeared.
out here, where nothing is taken, something new showed up instead. he had already named it thirty years before this interview was filmed.
he says the ones most likely to survive were not the strongest.
if the thing you are chasing arrived tomorrow morning, what would you do with the day after it?
the full twenty one minute interview is in the video below.
An MIT professor offered his students a simple bet: Heads: you win $125. Tails: you lose $100. Mathematically, it’s a steal. On average, you come out +$12.50 ahead each time you play. It’s what economists call "better than fair." Most of the class said no. They weren't stupid. They were human. The professor took it a step further. He told them: "I’m going to force you to take this bet... unless you pay me to get out of it." How much were they willing to pay? $43. Almost half their money... to escape a bet that was in their favor. That isn't weakness. It’s called risk aversion. And it’s exactly the reason why insurance, extended warranties, and almost all the "safe" financial decisions we make exist. You aren't being irrational when you turn down a good bet. You are putting a price on the fear of losing. In this MIT class, you learn how expected utility really works. Why risk aversion isn't a flaw, but a human trait. And how that explains almost every economic decision we make on a daily basis. Save this for later 🔖
Carl Sagan filmed a free seven-minute explanation of the fourth dimension that has now been watched more than five million times.
Universities charge tens of thousands of dollars a year for cosmology and geometry courses that never reach this material with the same clarity.
He posted the entire sequence for nothing.
Almost no one who casually debates higher dimensions has watched it to the end.
The clip comes from Episode 10 of Cosmos, “The Edge of Forever,” recorded in 1980. Sagan begins by placing the viewer inside Flatland, a two-dimensional world inhabited by squares and circles who can move left-right and forward-back but have never heard of up or down.
Into that plane he lowers a three-dimensional apple. The Flatlanders experience only a series of expanding and shrinking circles as the apple passes through their world. They never see the whole fruit, only successive slices, and they invent elaborate theories to explain the changing shapes that appear and vanish without cause.
Sagan then constructs a cube by moving a square through a third dimension at right angles to itself, and asks what happens if the same operation is performed once more: take the cube and move it at right angles to all three existing directions. The result is a four-dimensional hypercube, a tesseract.
He cannot show a true tesseract because both he and the viewer remain trapped in three dimensions, but he can display its three-dimensional shadow: two nested cubes with every vertex connected by lines. In the real four-dimensional object every edge would be equal and every angle a right angle; the distorted projection is simply the cost of losing a dimension.
Every modern discussion of curved spacetime, finite but unbounded universes, and higher-dimensional geometry rests on the same progression he lays out with an apple and a cube.
The sequence is free on YouTube. The willingness to sit through those seven minutes before speaking about the fourth dimension is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to argue without having watched it.
🚨BOMBAZO! El ingeniero que construyó Claude Code desde cero acaba de soltar un video de 28 minutos que es puro oro puro.
Cómo escribir prompts que entregan resultados BRUTALES de verdad.
He visto cursos de 300 dólares que no llegan ni a la suela de lo que él explica en los primeros 10 minutos.
Archivos CLAUDE.md, atajos de memoria, sesiones paralelas y patrones de prompting que casi nadie usa…
Todo en un solo video.
Completamente gratis.
Cero relleno.
Da igual si estás empezando, si eres developer o si ya llevas meses con Claude: esto te cambia el juego desde hoy.
Guárdalo.
Míralo.
Compártelo.
El que lo ve… no vuelve a promptar igual.
THE CEO OF OBSIDIAN AND ANDREJ KARPATHY JUST KILLED THE SECOND-BRAIN INDUSTRY
not with a product. with a free gist and five text files.
a 400,000-copy book built that whole industry. karpathy deleted it with one idea:
stop treating your notes like a diary. treat them like a codebase.
obsidian is the editor. claude code is the engineer. your notes are what it builds.
three commands run everything:
→ ingest - drop a video, a pdf, a 2am thought. claude splits it into linked pages that plug into what you already wrote.
→ query - ask, and it answers from your own pages, in your own words. not a model's guess.
→ lint - once a week it sweeps the vault, kills stale notes, reconnects the orphans nobody linked back.
then obsidian's ceo open-sourced the 5 skill files he'd been running in his own vault - so claude speaks obsidian natively: wikilinks, bases, canvas, the cli. mit license. free. drop it in .claude/skills/ and go.
the catch nobody posts: that lint command deletes and rewrites on its own. no version control = it eventually eats a note you actually wanted. put the vault in git first.
most vaults are graveyards.
this one reads itself before you wake up.
Save this.
In 2013 a Wall Street risk boss walked up to an MIT chalkboard and gave away the exact math desks charge $400,000 a year to run.
MIT filmed it. it has been free for 13 years. 7.9 million people pressed play and almost none of them changed a thing.
his point: the Wall Street edge was never a secret. it is a first lecture. options, risk, how a payout is actually built.
every prediction-market trader hunting an edge in 2026 is chasing what Jake Xia put on a board in hour one of a free class.
he ran risk for a living, not a channel. the video outdrew most blockbusters and still moved almost no one, because watching is not doing.
skip to where he prices risk. he takes the thing quant threads sell for $500 and builds it from zero, slow enough for a beginner to follow.
no paywall. no NDA. one board and a marker.
a quant I know sends this link to every junior who whines the math is too hard.
you are 13 years late. it is still free.
