Yeah and PyTorch doesn't exist. More directly, why wouldn't I use PyTorch?

For anyone getting started with deep learning in 2025 and looking to do large scale training: use JAX + Keras 3. Unless you like suffering.

Finally, cardiologists are becoming aware of the Lp(a) flaw but still unable to fix risk factors. No point lowering LDL(ApoB) below 100(equiv) for primary prevention for negative Lp(a); one must overreact for high Lp(a).

MISCOMPUTATION of CV RISK RE-Explaining the problem, #cardioTwitter If the risk factor for Lp(a) is 2 x the unconditional & Lp(a) represents 22% of the population, then the risk factor for nonLp(a) is ~ 30% lower! Statins don't come for free. There are hidden side effects.

Okay let's wait for Python 3.14 FT to be practically useful for real world code.

"... Guido van Rossum: I honestly think the importance of the GIL removal project has been overstated. It serves the needs of the largest users (e.g. Meta) while complicating things for potential contributors to the CPython code base (proving that new code does not introduce…

Not that they would but if everyone took this advice, they'd all move forward, alone.

"Focus on your path, and the right people will find their way to you. No need to chase, just keep moving forward



Idli is another level. Poha comes close. Samosa is a forgotten accompaniment of chai.

If the idli is a cloud, then its companions are no less celestial. Pohe is the morning sun itself — gentle, golden, and quietly transformative. The samosa is geometry with a conscience — a crisp triangle that holds within it spice, rebellion, and the democracy of the street…



Hard to watch without "The" witcher, Henry Cavill. Bring him back for season 5. .@LHissrich

My kid types super fast. My infant is even faster.

Like it or not, typing speed is a reasonable proxy for IQ.

I dunno the prep and cleanup are the worst aspects of cooking and this is just replacing the most enjoyable part aside from the eating of course

Mindset matters. Routine matters. Consistency matters.


Indirectly, "Stock Holder Value" would be one of the highest bands, sacrificing employees' bands. Unlike the rest of big tech, including its subsidiaries like LinkedIn and GitHub.

Microsoft just leaked their official compensation bands for engineers. We often forget that you can be a stable high-performing engineer with great work-life balance, be a BigTech lifer and comfortably retire with a net worth of ~$15M!

Waymo is a godsend for working parents. Need to hand off the baby between meetings? Put them in a Waymo and send them to your partner across town. Impossible before now. Really grateful we have this technology 🙏

This is new. Gotta check what a longevity clinic does.

Just got diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea Would love to know anyone that has successfully cured this with lifestyle interventions etc. No overweight / general metrics and health pretty good, would not have noticed this if not for a test at a longevity clinic



100%. Leaders in this new age often lack this. Very impactful in my experience.

Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you—if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.



No. These are chores that can be easily out-soured. You can learn them and pursue them as a hobby, sure. Life skills should be: EQ, handling failures, conflicts, thinking critically, questioning constructively, building and learning through iterations, focus and perseverance, etc

Thoughts?

Super cool video. The fact that it is fully AI generated makes it even more cooler.

The last time intelligence exploded on Earth, it wasn’t exactly amazing for everyone else. Here’s a fable about risks from transformative AI (made with Veo 3)



Now it is on mine

Why is this on my timeline



They mastered the art of not giving a f*ck

The happiest people I know don't have perfect lives. But they have one thing in common: They've mastered the art of moving on. They don't keep score, they don't cling to what if, they don't dwell. There’s a hell of a lot of progress hiding in the skill of not staying stuck.



I'd understand it better like this "Be critical, not cynical. Be constructive, not corrosive."

“Avoid negative people. They have a problem with every solution.” — Albert Einstein
