We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

A delivery robot was spotted trying to go around a motorcycle parked on a Los Angeles sidewalk — but it ended up hitting the bike and knocking it over.

As a teen, Steve Jobs hacked the telephone network. Billions of $ of infrastructure at his fingertips.

Phone phreaking taught Steve Jobs the mindset that helped him endure failure (being fired from Apple), walk the idea maze (NeXT and Pixar) and eventually build the iPhone.

Coffee’s health impact depends on how you brew it.

Filtered coffee is linked to a lower cancer risk, while unfiltered methods—like French press or boiled coffee—let oily compounds called diterpenes sneak into your cup. These compounds, particularly cafestol and kahweol, can raise LDL cholesterol by 10–30 mg/dL in just a few weeks.

Long-term exposure to high levels of these diterpenes has been associated with a modest uptick in the risk for certain cancers, including pancreatic and respiratory tract cancers, as well as a higher risk of dementia (generally observed with very high levels of boiled coffee consumption in particular).

What’s going on here?

Diterpenes are fat-soluble, so they slip through metal filters or stay suspended in boiled brews. Filtered coffee contains undetectable levels of cholesterol-raising diterpenes. Polyphenols, on the other hand (like chlorogenic acids) are water-soluble antioxidants that pass through paper filters and deliver cellular benefits.

If you’re drinking multiple cups per day, consider switching to filtered coffee. It preserves the antioxidants while minimizing cholesterol-raising compounds.

A recent study showed that morning coffee drinkers had a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease over a 10-year period.

This benefit was specific to morning coffee drinkers, as no similar protective effects were observed when coffee was consumed in the afternoon or evening.

Moderate coffee consumption stood out as being most beneficial for reducing all-cause mortality among morning drinkers:

- 1–2 cups per day was associated with a 16% lower risk
- 2–3 cups per day was associated with a 28% lower risk
- 3+ cups per day was associated with a 21% lower risk

There were no additional benefits associated with "all-day" coffee drinking, which was defined as drinking coffee in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Even though morning intake was uniquely protective, higher coffee consumption—regardless of timing—was linked to a 14–19% lower all-cause mortality risk and an even greater 28–40% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

While this study can't prove causation, there appears to be a health benefit associated with enjoying this beverage early in the day that might relate to the unique polyphenols, motivation to exercise, better sleep, or resetting circadian rhythms.

A dog that learned to walk upright.

Generally, this happens more naturally with dogs who lost their front legs, like the case of Dexter the Brittany spaniel.
