You’re using your brain WRONG.
In 2010, Stanford neurologist Dr Frank Longo gave a 2-hour lecture on how memory really works.
Everything you’ve learned about memory is mostly wrong.
His frameworks:
• The Magic 7 rule
• How sleep moves memories to storage
• Use it or lose it
Winning against the Chinese. In China.

Srabani, Sudeshna, Sneha & Tamanna in the 4x100 relay.
Power. Speed. Grace. Commitment.
But above all, teamwork.
This clip has it all.
I’m watching it on loop.
More of this please. 🇮🇳
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Enjoy, but don’t attach.
Give, but don’t expect.
Listen, but don’t judge.
Love, but don’t depend.
Accept, but don’t settle.

A rare India-positive piece in @washingtonpost: “The BJP is consolidating power just as India takes its place among the world’s great powers: largest by population, second-largest by military personnel, on the way to becoming third-largest by economy, and the only nation with the potential to counterbalance China in Asia.”
The piece argues, “More votes have been cast for Modi than for any politician in human history, by a margin in the hundreds of millions. Modi has comfortably outperformed every other democratically elected leader in the world in Morning Consult’s global leader approval tracker for many years, despite the longevity of his tenure.” https://t.co/kt4N0fYJgl
On April 28, 1253, Nichiren established the Buddhist practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a means for all people to manifest their inherent Buddha nature, positively transform suffering and lead fulfilled lives. Nichiren’s teaching is based on the Lotus Sutra, which asserts that all individuals inherently possess the Buddha nature.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
I got custody of my little sister when she was 14. She’s 24 now. Yesterday she texted me,
“Check your bank. And don’t argue.” 😭
I opened it… and she sent money for groceries.
Said, “Buy something nice too. Not just bills.”
Ever since she started working, she randomly sends rice deliveries to the house, pays the internet before I even notice it’s due, shows up with takeout on nights she knows I’m tired.
I never ask. I don’t expect it. She just does it.
Last week I saw her fixing the electric fan for our younger cousins, teaching them how to budget their allowance, moving through life like someone who learned responsibility early.
And she did. Because we grew up together. Two kids pretending to be strong. Two kids figuring it out without a manual.
So let me applaud us quietly. I was a teenager playing parent. She was a child forced to grow up fast. But somehow… we didn’t break. We built something. And we made it.
We’re entering the most dangerous but transformational period of our lives.
Britain must build resilience and the hard power that will allow us to succeed, and get AI into factories and farms.

“फकीरी” ऐसी ही होनी चाहिए…
14 वर्षों तक नेदरलैंड के प्रधानमंत्री रहे
मार्क रूटे —
न कोई भ्रष्टाचार, न कोई घोटाला।
पद छोड़ा, सत्ता सौंपी,
साइकिल का ताला खोला
और चुपचाप घर की ओर चल दिए।
न कैमरों की परवाह,
न दिखावे की जरूरत।
आज वही व्यक्ति
एक साधारण स्कूल में
सामाजिक विज्ञान पढ़ा रहे हैं।
सच्ची सादगी वही होती है,
जिसे ओढ़ा नहीं जाता — जिया जाता है।
जो फकीरी मिज़ाज रखते हैं,
वो ठोकर में भी ताज रखते हैं।
