Michelle Trachtenberg received a liver transplant shortly before her death at 39. one of her favorite foods was spinach and cheese pasta. Very high in vitamin A. she recently underwent a liver transplant for a failing liver that began somewhere around 2024.

I'm obsessed with this vibecoded game where you literally just...chop wood.

The creator 3D scanned a piece of wood in his yard to get the textures, and recorded himself actually splitting wood with an axe to get the reference motion and sounds.

It's insanely satisfying 👌

Novak Djokovic just said being bored is the most creative state a child can be in.

His son is 10 and his daughter is 7.

He says when his son told him he was bored after a morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, he sat him down for a conversation most parents avoid.

"It's okay to be bored sometimes. When you're bored, it doesn't mean that you have to instantly take a book or a screen. You need to also learn how to be with your thoughts."

Djokovic says boredom is when creativity finally shows up, and it's also when everything you have been suppressing through your phone comes to the surface.

Most parents are protecting their kids from the only state that grows them.

Andrew Ng:

"100% of my tasks are now done by AI agents - hype has exceeded my expectations. Loops is next step.

in 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting."

In a 30-minute talk, Andrew Ng explains how to build self-improving agentic systems from scratch.

Worth more than a $500 agentic course.

Claude Code creator, Boris Cherny:

"A year ago, I prompted Claude to write code. Now I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops that are running. They're the ones prompting Claude. My job is to write loops."

in 30 minutes, Boris explains exactly what that next abstraction layer looks like - and why it's coming for everyone, not just engineers

-why he uninstalled his IDE the moment he stopped needing it
-the "underfund the team, overfund the tokens" strategy he recommends to every founder
-why hundreds of his Claudes are scanning Twitter and GitHub right now, deciding what to build next
-the real reason coding became Anthropic's testing ground for AI safety in the first place

Regardless if it's fake, this is a very lawful good way of entrepreneurship which is refreshing. I know many government bodies who would definitely offer contracts for something like this.

A 19-year-old student from China, Zhang Wei, developed an AI radar and sold it to Hong Kong for $550,000

He created it using Claude, spending just $20 and a month on development

He walked into the Hong Kong administration office with a flash drive and asked for just 5 minutes of their time. 30 minutes later, he walked out with a check for $550,000

The code, connected to a camera, detects speed in real time. If the speed exceeds the limit, Claude takes a video clip and identifies the owner by the car's license plate. The video and the fine are then automatically sent to the owner's email address

Unlike a conventional radar that only takes a photo and doesn't always work, this AI radar eliminates disputes because it captures video and makes the process fully autonomous by sending out the fines on its own.

Many people think any given ML project is 99% training.

In reality, it’s 50% evaluation, 40% data cleaning, 8% integration, and 2% training.

The first two set the noise floor for learning. No ML magic matters; the model cannot lower the noise floor, as that’s the optimal bound of Shannon encoding of your data.

Thus, not a single day goes by without me thinking about ontology. Even the old labels have to be constantly reviewed.

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

Before AI, I’d spend a weekend building 1 useless app.

Now I can build 67 useless apps over a weekend, each with a logo, a fancy webpage, and 0 user.

So deserved, Revolut is an amazing company and significantly changed my life

Before Revolut I had so many problems with banks

I used to have a Dutch bank called Rabobank who would freeze my card at random times while I was traveling, and no they didn't even have an unfreeze button in the app, I mean they barely had an app

I'd literally have to fly back to Holland and go into the bank office in my tiny hometown to then make an appointment with them to unfreeze it

One time in I think 2014 I was in Bali and they froze it, I flew back and at the bank office they said it was time for me to get a mortgage, when I said I didn't want one they said do you have insurance? They were freezing my card to then use it to make me come to their office to then upsell me shit

Another time in 2017 (I think some of you remember) they froze my card in the US, and with no money I became homeless, luckily X (back then Twitter) helped me out and you all ordered Ubers for me on request and @manuthan gave me a place to sleep at @outsiteco in Venice

You don't hate dinosaur banks enough!

After experiencing all that I got Revolut and I never had any issue like that again

(Well except for moving to Portugal where I was forced to open a Portuguese bank account at MillenniumBCP, which was possibly an even worse experience than Rabobank, my premium package private banking account manager would always be unreachable and only email me to tell me she'd go on holiday and would be even more unreachable 😂)

Revolut has been my main bank app for the last decade and it's been wonderful, I've pumped millions through it and it barely flinched, sometimes they ask me documents to prove where the money comes from, but that process is super smooth and via chat

Revolut is another great example that you can make something that makes everyone's life significantly better and society will reward you by making you rich!

@Aella_Girl How do you think civilization is where it is right now? You don't get to power without rationality. Game theoretically, Individual rationality leads to collective madness. Counterintuitively, it's individual madness leading to collective rationality is what holds civilization.

Can't afford to personalize failures. That's cold.

[Bonita Dominguez @LaLunaLlorando]

@multiplanet1 Extremely difficult to pull off, but you can’t personalize failures, and you can’t accept failure as the end result … you re-analyze, re-process, re-calibrate … re-focus … and persist every damn day …

[Race @multiplanet1]

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail.

She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage.

Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists.

She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment.

This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action.

Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.
