Acting like the future has already been decided in your favor produces decisions that confirm it.

@heyiamdk Sublime! I love the attention to detail :)

“the most valuable thing a 22 year old can do in 2026 is create something. an app. a screenplay. a side business. an internal tool you wrote…a dinner series. a script that automates something annoying…anything that moved from idea to working.” https://t.co/JAP9OiUFb6

now it’s all explained… that’s why they’re so bad. lol. (CEO and co-founder of Mistral… cringe)

Arthur Mensch (Mistral) : "aujourd'hui les ingénieurs logiciels chez Mistral n'écrivent plus de ligne de code", ce sont des "managers d'agents" ; la productivité est énorme pour un individu, mais au niveau d'une grande entreprise il reste un goulot d'étranglement organisationnel.

@benjitaylor, can we get an updated flag/content disclosure icon? This is triggering my OCD :v

how to life maxx more:

> get off your phone
> say yes to spontaneous plans even when you're tired - some of the best nights are unplanned
> talk to strangers - at coffee shops, events, literally anywhere. serendipity maxx
> make a bucket list and work your way through said bucket list!!
> stop opting for boring hangs. switch things up with your friends. try something new!!
> start a random hobby just for fun - pottery, dance, improv, cooking. not everything needs to "be productive" ok??
> be 5% more silly in your life. dance in your room, sing badly in the car, crack a bad joke. it's not that serious. grow the silly muscle
> surround yourself with people who make you feel lighter - your time and energy is precious
> don't forget the basics: move your body, get sunlight, take your vitamins, eat well, sleep
> your time to live life is happening NOW so stop saving it for later!!

get off those phones & out into the real world people!!

lets go PLAY!!!

@joaomendoncaaaa @thekitze Exactly.

[Miguel Ferreira @marrf_tech]

Sim, concordo a 100%, o meu ponto é mais do hustle propriamente dito! Vários dos meus “melhores dias” (wtv that means) são os mais calmos. A malta tem que descansar (e garantir que é um bom descanso!), mas também tem que/deve esforçar-se bastante! E o que sinto é que muita malta que diz que trabalha muito, talvez acreditem mesmo que o façam, mas não o fazem, de todo (seja por ineficiência ou falta de horas)! É preciso ganhar alguma resistência :)

What’s the best way to find like-minded creative people that want to work extremely hard on AI in Portugal?

[Miguel Ferreira @marrf_tech]

Então não é que a segunda maior empresa portuguesa, a Galp, tem no seu atendimento automático por telefone uma mensagem a dizer que este mês estão com um problema a enviar faturas por email e vão enviar por carta. (Motivo pelo qual liguei, anyway).

Today we’re introducing two big steps for health at OpenAI:

- ChatGPT for Clinicians, a free version of ChatGPT designed for clinical work
- HealthBench Professional, a new benchmark to evaluate real clinician chat tasks

We’re excited about what this can unlock for care. ❤️

say it with me now. experts are fake, smart generalists rule the world, everything is designed by people no smarter than you, and courage is in shorter supply than genius

The Apple homepage now has a "Community Letter From Tim"

To the Apple community:

For the past 15 years I’ve started just about every morning the same way. I open my email and I read notes I received the day before from Apple’s users all over the world.

You share little pieces of your lives with me and tell me things you want me to know about how Apple has touched you. About the moment your mom was saved by her Apple Watch. About the perfect selfie you captured at the summit of a mountain that seemed impossible to climb. You thank me for the ways Mac has changed what you can do at work and sometimes give me a hard time because something you care about isn’t working like it should.

In every one of those emails I feel the beating heart of our shared humanity. I feel a sense of deepening obligation to work harder and push further. But most of all, I feel a gratitude that I cannot put into words, that I somehow got to be the person on the other end of those emails, the leader of a company that ignites imaginations and enriches lives in such profound ways it defies description. What an honor and a privilege it has been.

Today we announced that I’m taking the next step in my journey at Apple. Over the coming months I will be transitioning into a new role, leaving the CEO job behind in September and becoming Apple’s executive chairman. A new person will be stepping into what I know in my heart is the best job in the world. That leader is John Ternus, a brilliant engineer and thinker who has spent the past 25 years building the Apple products our users love so much, obsessed with every detail, focused on every possible way we can make something better, bolder, more beautiful, and more meaningful. He is the perfect person for the job.

John cares so much about who we are at Apple, what we do at Apple, who we reach at Apple, and he has the heart and character to lead with extraordinary integrity. I am so proud to call him Apple’s next CEO. This company will reach such incredible heights under his leadership, and you will feel his impact in every bit of delight and discovery that grows out of the products and services to come. I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do.

This is not goodbye. But at this moment of transition, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. Not on behalf of the company, this time, though there is a wellspring of gratitude for you that overflows inside our walls. But simply on behalf of me. Tim. A person who grew up in a rural place in a different time and, for these magical moments, got to be the CEO of the greatest company in the world. Thank you for the confidence and kindness you’ve shown me. Thank you for saying hi to me on the street and in our stores. Thank you for cheering alongside me when we unveiled a new product or service. Thank you, most of all, for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. Every day we get up and think about what we can do to make your life a little bit better. And every day, you’ve made mine the best I could have asked for.

Thank you.
Tim Cook

wooooow!
