  The relationship between energy intake and brain size is a bell curve: chronic caloric excess leaves you with a smaller brain, just as chronic restriction does.

  energy

  Their words

  And what they found is there's kind of this um bell-shaped curve between energy availability and brain volume. And in general, brain volume, right, the more the better, right, we think. And so if you're chronically calorically restricted, your brain is smaller um because you just don't have the resources to invest in, you know, the structure um and to maintain it. At the other end, you see the same thing. So if you're chronically in a chronic state of chloric excess, you also tend to have a smaller brain on average.

  My Oura ring. I hesitated for a long time but it sparks joy. I think Apple Watches are ugly and I didn't like the Whoop nearly as much. I love checking the app every day.

  Gravitational waves should be mapped as sound rather than pictured: they ring spacetime in the range a human ear could hear.

  Their words

  So the idea is that they’re closer to something that you would want to map as a sound, than it’s something as a picture.

  Whoop

  Their words

  Summarizing all of that into my advice right now: Get Whoop for 9.5/10, reliable, convenient sleep tracking with an excellent app (once you get to know it a bit). Get Oura for 10/10 tracking, if you're ok with the ring form factor.

  Vibe coding lets users design and build their own software, upending the user-centred design paradigm that has held since 1947.

  Their words

  The new trend toward vibe coding and vibe design may be upending the user-centered design paradigm that has remained based on the same ideology since the first UX design projects at Bell Labs, starting in 1947.

  Violations of Bell inequalities reveal only properties of models, not of nature itself.

  Their words

  Since Local Causality is a property of a model, observing violations of Bell's inequality cannot tell us anything about nature itself, but merely about the properties of the model that we use to describe nature.
