耶鲁一位计算机博士生，把自己发论文用的画图脚本全开源了，项目叫 figures4papers。

支持柱状、雷达、折线趋势、三维球体示意、概念等类型图，8 个论文项目各一个文件夹，脚本、数据、成图放在一起，照着改数据就能出自己的图。

他还把这套画图风格整理成了一个 Skill，接进 Cursor、Claude Code 或 Codex，让 Agent 按这套规范帮我们写画图脚本。

GitHub：https://t.co/R47oklr7St

规范写得挺细，去掉上边和右边的坐标轴线，柱子加黑边，配色固定一套语义，蓝色给自己的方法，绿色系给改进项，红色系给对比基线，默认 300 DPI 导出。

不装也能用，把仓库在 Agent 里打开，提示词里让它照 SKILL.md 和设计原则文件来写就行，README 里给了现成的提示词模板。

前几天分享的 vivid-figures-skill 是让 AI 选图画图，这个更像拿一位常年投顶会的作者的审美当模板，写论文要出图的可以两个都看看。

BREAKING NEWS! The engineer who built Claude Code from scratch just released a 28-minute video that's pure gold: how to write prompts that deliver ridiculously good results.

I've seen $300 courses that don't even come close to what he explains in the first 10 minutes.

CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, and prompting patterns that almost no one uses...

All in one single video. Completely free.

No fluff.

Whether you're a developer, just starting, or have already been using Claude for months: this changes the game for you starting today.

Save. Watch. Share.

A transformer in our neighborhood caught fire. Called 101. In response , SI from R6 kumaran Nagar police station and fire service personnel from T.Nagar immediately came to the spot. Tnx to
@chennaipolice_ @tnfrs_official the immediate response.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT. Spend 2 hour with this. Claude AI FULL COURSE that teaches you how to BUILD and AUTOMATE anything. The people who watch this tonight will wake up tomorrow with a new skill. Watch it and Bookmark it now.

You were handed a playbook at birth.

Go to school. Get a job. Trade your time for dollars. Trust the system to take care of you.

But nobody told you there was already an architecture in place designed to extract away everything you've worked so hard to build. The military-healthcare-pharmaceutical industrial complex.

You can see it clearly when you watch your parents hit their 70s. The money doesn't go toward the life they earned. It flows directly back into the system that created the conditions for their decline in the first place. The food system kept them inflamed and now they're dependent on hospital visits, specialist copays, and prescriptions that treat the side effects of other prescriptions.

Forty years of work, and the back half of the game looks nothing like what they were promised. The nest egg slowly being siphoned off one medication/treatment/hospitalization at a time.

I spent 10 years as a physical therapist in home health, walking into the homes of people in their 60s, 70s and 80s who were on 5, 10, sometimes 12+ medications. These weren't people who were sick from bad luck. They were sick from decades of following the path the system wanted them to follow turning them into a decades long customer of the machine.

It's no coincidence that nutrition is more complicated than ever or that nobody ever asks what they were eating. The same goes for the importance of muscle mass, insulin resistance or the fact that chronic inflammation is actually reversible if you catch it early enough. The system wasn't designed to reverse anything. It was designed to manage decline, and charge accordingly.

This is what nobody tells you when you're 35 and grinding. The game isn't just about building wealth it's about protecting it from a system that has a very specific plan for where it ends up.

Your health is the only real hedge you have. If your body breaks down, your 401k, real estate, or savings account all becomes a payment plan for the people who had no interest in keeping you healthy in the first place.

The most rebellious thing you can do right now, at 40, 50, or 60, is to take your health seriously before the system gets its hands on it. The counter to the machine isn't complicated, it's just inconvenient for the people profiting from your decline. Build muscle, stabilize your blood sugar and work toward getting off the medications that are treating symptoms instead of root causes.

None of that is complicated, but it does require rejecting the playbook they handed you at birth and deciding that the back half of your life is going to look different than what you watched your parents go through.

Your parents didn't know the game they were playing. But you do. And that difference can shape the future for you, your kids, and grandkids.

A MIT professor taught the same lecture every January for 40 years, and every single time it was standing room only.

I watched it at 2am and it completely rewired how I think about communication.

His name was Patrick Winston. The lecture is called "How to Speak."

His opening line hit like a truck: your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas in that order.

Not your GPA. Not your pedigree. Not your IQ. How you speak is what separates people who get heard from people who get ignored.

Here's the framework he drilled into MIT students for four decades.

He said never start with a joke. Start by telling people exactly what they're going to learn. Prime the pump before you pour anything in. He called it the "empowerment promise" give people a reason to stay in their seats within the first 60 seconds.

Then he broke down the 5S rule for making ideas stick: Symbol, Slogan, Surprise, Salient, and Story. Every idea worth remembering hits at least three of these.

The part that floored me was his "near miss" technique. Don't just show what's right show what almost looks right but isn't. That contrast is when the brain actually locks something in permanently.

His final rule before any big talk: end with a contribution, not a summary. Don't recap what you said. Tell people what you gave them that they didn't have before they walked in.

I've used this framework in pitches, interviews, and presentations ever since watching it, and the results are not subtle.

Patrick Winston passed away in 2019, but this lecture is still free on MIT OpenCourseWare. One hour, watched by millions, and it costs absolutely nothing.

The most important class MIT ever put on the internet isn't about code or math. It's about how to make people actually listen to you.

@VijayKumbhar62 Any online link to watch the event, sir?

@IASBabugiri01 Looking back, do you think that you could have contributed more to society, had you pursued a career in Computer science, instead of the civil services?

@ChairmanIOCL @DirMktg_iocl @iocl_pbd Sir/ Madam, I applied for a new LPG connection ( composite cylinder) today in Chennai. I was informed that I had to mandatorily book 2 cylinders and ended up paying Rs.6250. I feel duped into unnecessarily buying a second cylinder. Help. Tnx
