@guilleflorvs I'm convinced there's a retardmaxxer out there who's going to outlive @bryan_johnson

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@garrytan My escape hatch is knowing most people don't live in this purported "modern society".

Fills me with purpose.

@Jakubantalik @a_brinza ps: I do think these looks beautiful

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@Jakubantalik @a_brinza Might just be me, but every time I see this type of high-fidelity progress orb-indicator, I feel like I'm overpaying for this service somewhere.

It's subliminal.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

Sure Anthropic's last $65B fundraise puts them at a $1T market cap. But fundraise ≠ business.

That's less than Google's free cash flow for 25.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

Looks like they opted out of the frontier model rat race.

It’s hard to imagine them not having a Mythos++ capable model internally that they won’t/can’t release.

Not worth the regulatory risk, and margins on frontier tokens have yet to be proven durable.

why Naval deleted his calendar, ghosts everyone, and refuses to be anywhere at a specific time

Naval: "I read a blog post by Marc Andreessen where he said don't keep a schedule. And I took that to heart. So I deleted my calendar and I don't keep a schedule. I try to remember it all in my head. If I can't remember it, I'm not going to add it."

"I have a nasty email autoresponder that says, I don't check email and don't text me either. If you need to find me, you'll find me."

"My wife knows not to ever book or schedule me for anything. I'm not expected to go to couples dinners. I'm not expected to go to birthdays. I'm not expected to go to weddings. If somebody tries to rope her into having me show up, she says he makes his own decisions. You got to ask him directly."

Chris: "Are you not killing serendipity in a way?"

Naval: "No. I'm freeing up all my time. So my entire life is serendipity. I get to interact with whoever I want, whenever I want, wherever."

@harshthings What is that? 🤔

Every time I cut the toddler’s nails without bloodshed, I’m pretty confident I could have been a surgeon.

@aarthir They also shipped the thing where it boosts mutuals by a lot. Seems to have changed my feed significantly (for the better).

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back).

We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize.

This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@gem7318 hah! Nothing but the cold stainless steel of a twice tempered Seki Edge would ever grace their little nails.

I don't think I've ever drawn blood 😏

@dtran320 ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
fifteen percent concentrated power of will

@bostonwriter Turns out more than one company don't understand their customers.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@Noahpinion Evolution doesn't have a point. It just happens.

It's like saying "this market price doesn't make sense"

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@jayair How can he punch

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@thesamparr All that to say, having data is useful. You just can't blindly follow it. Ignoring it entirely is probably an even worse idea.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@thesamparr You take the smorgasbord of "data", what agrees, doesn't, etc into your brain then build intuition.

Your trace attribution for your decisions back to this intuition, instead of the data that helped you form it.

There's also a lot of stuff you *don't* do because you see data.

[Nav Patel @patelnav]

@charles_maddock Apple doesn't think enough of the target audience wants/needs this.

When that changes, the products will.

@gokulr You can layer in Cursor Composer 2.5 Fast (through their agents cli). It has the personality of GPT-5.5 with a slightly lower coding level. But the seed is really something.

@Ziggydank I love the internet
