Did it hit you that a centibillionaire, Jensen Huang, is less free than a random plumber?

Inside a human brain when reading a book.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video shows time-lapse of cultured neurons connecting via growth cones in a lab dish, not processes in a living human brain while reading. Similar real clips by Dr. Lila Landowski show developmental wiring; this one's exact source is unconfirmed.

Good to see miners trying Wcash while we’re still in slow start.
We’re only getting started.
If you mine Zcash, come explore Wcash merged mining. 🐺

For generations, we've pushed the limits of what flight can do.
Yet moving goods still comes with a compromise. The sea takes weeks and flying costs too much. Somewhere along the way, the world got comfortable with waiting.
Today, we announce Eureka, our first aircraft. It takes off and lands on water, and it's designed to turn "in a few weeks" into "on the evening flight."
Break the surface.

My dog Rosie was given months to live. Chemo and immunotherapy failed
I used chatgpt + computational genomics to design a personalised mRNA cancer vaccine for her tumour. Several of her tumours shrank
Today we launch Gamgee (YC S26): personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs

I started with a small idea, kept expanding the thesis, and eventually had a blog that was too long for anyone to read.
So I turned it into an interactive reading experience instead.
Nikita says links aren’t penalized anymore. I’m still putting it in the next tweet.

Protests are increasingly being policed not just with barricades and lathis, but with AI-powered surveillance. Facial recognition systems can identify, track, and profile people in public spaces, raising serious concerns for privacy, free expression, and the right to protest.
Watch the video to understand how these systems work, why they matter, and how you can document protests responsibly without putting others at risk.

Being mean is bad for your health.
A single hostile interaction:
+ locks you in a cortisol penalty box for 60-90 min
+ suppresses recovery capacity
+ elevates your heart rate
Kindness conserves your energy resources.

So many techbros I follow have outed themselves in the last few days.
Now I have a nice list of people to mute/block/unfollow.
Their uninformed and unempathetic takes, their refusal to acknowledge the influence they have, their inability to have an open mind and do the bare minimum research before posting anything is genuinely hideous.
You skipped the stage of forming and evolving your political opinions while you were focused on your career grind. I get it. It’s alright.
But, at the very least, be aware of that fact instead of assuming that you being knowledgeable in your profession also somehow means that the same expertise backs every opinion you hold.
If you continue lacking empathy, nobody’s going to stand by your side if (god forbid) you find yourself in a position where your problems need to be voiced out.
I’ve seen enough to realise that it’s an eventuality. None of us are immune to this.
