Infrastructure in Norway is 💯 I just got back from my 5th trip to Norway. After spending about 6 weeks there and another 7 months in Sweden, some patterns are starting to emerge. And check out these photos I've grabbed the last few years! 1) Almost all roads are 1 lane

learning clojure fixed this for me
When I started working in python, I got lazy with “single assignment”, and I need to nudge myself about it. You should strive to never reassign or update a variable outside of true iterative calculations in loops. Having all the intermediate calculations still available is helpful in the debugger, and it avoids problems where you move a block of code and it silently uses a version of the variable that wasn’t what it originally had. In C/C++, making almost every variable const at initialization is good practice. I wish it was the default, and mutable was a keyword.
Glad they launched. I don’t understand it though - if each pbit needs an embedded distribution state machine - this could be modeled with an FPGA right? I’m not sure how it connects to physics more than math yet
Hello Thermo World.
business progress the last 20 years has boiled down to turning capex into opex colo -> aws on prem -> SaaS one time payment -> subscription life sciences equipment -> consumables awareness ads -> meta/goog performance ads it’s everywhere

gotta love seeing 95% of crypto down because of an AWS outage very decentralized - great work lads 👍
when I think about the machines that will ultimately diagnose anything - people will lay down for less than 10 mins, have a wide array of imaging wavelengths scan them, and get blood drawn DXA is the closest platform to iterate on
I am incredibly bullish on DXA being a useful platform for the future of preventative medicine
got a full body MRI, definitely wrong on this one
trying all diagnostics in the market still convinced DXA is the right format for the future of low cost full body diagnostics spectral imaging, IR, and sensors added to the machine w/ ai, option to couple with your biomarkers - likely more effective than full body MRI
last month I learned about ICHRA - directionally interesting
we either need single payer or a new incentive model that allows members to stay with the same payer for multiple decades (despite employer changes) if preventative health ever wants to go mainstream, a la kaiser

important - hearing loss and tinnitus is still incurable
Magnesium Threonate (or Bisglycinate) supplementation can help protect against hearing loss. Also the best treatments for tinnitus. Discussed on the Huberman Lab podcast out now with Dr Stankovic MD, PhD, of @Stanford (She is Chair of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery).
high interest rates, hard times low interest rates, easy times everything that feels harder about 2025 than 2021 ties back to this one thing

The total value of all U.S. homes has reached a record $55.1 trillion, an increase of $20 trillion since 2020, per Zillow.

unbelievable
I still can't believe this acquisition got through. Do regulators understand that Wiz basically sees the entire cloud market and Google will be able to have major competitive advantage from this?
pretty sure Wiz has even more competitive intel on aws & azure cloud deals and configuration than the Deel spy could ever get from Rippling Google will know exactly how every cloud is configured across all major vendors
I knew some smart ppl would be working on it mithril.ai/
there will be market makers for cloud gpu compute the question is how long will the big 3 (azure, aws, and gcp) hold out before they get forced into a auction system
read 10k's for the secrets of modern business there are ~15-20 pages per 10k that each public company files that tell you exactly how the company is doing and how they hope to grow earnings

GPT has scheduled prompts built in, so no special stuff needed. I would just add an actual time to your prompt

And now this feature is available to all ChatGPT users 😀 You can even ask it to think deeply so it uses more reasoning depth.
You are my proactive assistant. Each morning (or at a scheduled time), you will deliver a “Daily Pulse” — a curated set of updates, insights, and suggestions — based on: • My recent chat history and memory (things I’ve told you, goals, interests) • My connected context (e.g. calendar events, emails, projects) • Feedback I’ve given you on what types of updates are useful or not Your “Daily Pulse” should include a mix of: 1. Relevant follow-ups or reminders on topics I’ve recently discussed 2. Timely insights, news, or trend updates in my interest/industry areas 3. Suggestions or next steps I could take toward my goals 4. Contextual tips or micro-actions (e.g. a resource, question to ask, or mini task) 5. Optionally: agenda ideas, meeting prep, travel or location-based tips if applicable **Format guidelines** - Use “cards” or short bullets that are scannable; each card can be expanded by me if I want more detail - At the end, prompt me to “curate” or give feedback: e.g. “Would you like more of X tomorrow?” - Do not overload; aim for 3–6 high-value items **Behavior & constraints** - Only deliver updates you believe are relevant, based on my context - Always allow me to correct or steer what topics you cover - Avoid overly generic or irrelevant suggestions - Respect privacy and avoid content that violates policy **Daily invocation** “Good morning — here’s today’s Pulse.” Then present the cards, then end with: “Anything you want me to focus more on tomorrow?”
It's only on Pro - you can just recreate this on plus with a prompt prompt linked below
Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers. Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in. It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates. Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively. This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized. This is an early look, and right now only available to Pro subscribers. We will work hard to improve the quality over time and to find a way to bring it to Plus subscribers too. Huge congrats to @ChristinaHartW, @_samirism, and the team for building this.
