Entrepreneur and founder of Blueprint. Publishes a detailed, freely available longevity protocol documenting the food, supplements, devices and measurements he uses on himself.
We were surprised yesterday to learn that Kate was being asked to fill her vagina with ultrasound gel. The MRI was to characterize her endometriosis. A disease where endometrial tissue develops outside the uterus and grows. It's a gnarly and painful disease with serious health complications. It affects 1 in 10 women and currently takes on average 6.6 years to diagnose. We hustled and diagnosed Kate's endometriosis in 42 days via four speciality different tests (blood, MRI, salvia, transvaginal ultrasound). The fastest and most comprehensive ever, I think. We are doing this MRI because we have… Quoting @_katetolo I had to fill my vagina with ultrasound gel yesterday for an MRI... I had no idea this was a protocol for measuring endometriosis! how cool It's a technique called vaginal opacification... the vagina is normally a collapsed space, and on an MRI, collapsed walls are hard to tell apart from the tissu… Related

Vancouver’s progressive anti-Ken-Sim municipal parties have coalesced behind Pete Fry as Bill Azaroff gracefully steps aside: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/william-azaroff-vancouver-election-mayoral-announcement-sept-8 I’ve met both gents and either would be a vastly better mayor than Sim. I do prefer Fry though, first of all I’m a Green, second, he’s been on council for years and knows how things work. Ken Sim is toast. #Vancouver #election #election2026 Related

Starlink pays ~$15 million in COGs for a Falcon 9. They fill it ~ completely since they optimize for F9. Even assume $20M COGs. Third parties pay $74 million retail for a F9 and can't fill it (3P payloads ≠ F9 optimized). Most people block this out; Retail price ≠ COGs! Related

Software engineer at PlanetScale and creator of the vim-go plugin. Writes at arslan.io about Go, tooling, industrial design and books.
I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :) Related

I've been on a wild travel journey in China for several weeks, with only a backpack, making new friends and meeting & getting to know people from all walks of life. I've been truly humbled and inspired by everyone's kindness. Next, I'm hopping over to Taiwan (first time for me) to hang out with Jensen, attend Computex, eat a bunch of street food, and just have fun talking to all kinds of folks around the city & beyond. After that, no plans, anything goes. As always, please give travel suggestions or fill out coffee form if you want to hang out in Taiwain or anywhere else in the world. Love yo… China Related

Mathematician at UCLA, working mainly in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. Writes What's new, a long-running blog on their research, open problems and expository notes.
Their words
There are certainly math results which could only have been accomplished because there was a human authentication and an AI involved, but it's hard to disentangle credit. I mean, these tools, they do not replicate all the skills needed to do mathematics, but they can replicate some non-trivial percentage of them, 30, 40%, so they can fill in gaps.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
