Honestly, there was something off to me about the final bit of Outlive. I still think it’s a fantastic bit of science writing and I think they’re a bit negative about that in this piece and that is unfair because it’s about how individuals interact with the science… But bro totally sold out and the fact he was with Epstein when his kid was born is mind-blowing. Another example of trauma making people try hard and that whole thing not making us better. FWIW I stand by my engagement with the science around this and while saying that, I will say in the same breath that Dr. Attia is almost certainly hiding more nastiness than he is admitting here. In addition, I will not be writing about him anymore after this or showing him any support beyond not deleting the sections of my book that deal with his work. We have AI to assist with translational medicine now. We don’t need to prop up little tin pot millionaires to get insight into our health, and when we do, it ALWAYS ends badly - that’s the thing that’s really noteworthy here in my view. https://apple.news/AWUAiicv-TEKD18iyg14Rsw

I really feel like Microsoft has just gotten sick of shipping software that works. They just want your money now. It's so gross. I've been using MSPaint since I could use a computer and the other day it asked me to login to onedrive to open this ancient gem on a school pc. I was so disgruntled I just signed off and did it on my Mac. I'm serious, it's like painful to use Windows even to print things, I'm going to pitch every institutional partner I ever work with on Linux as an OS that will just simply work. We'll use Windows VMs to do whatever we can't just get away from completely. I'm so far beyond done, may as well just forget MS was ever a thing.

hear me out, but i don't believe the term vibecoding does anything except undercut the value of writing good software and the effort it takes to do so - with or without an AI model doing lookup tasks and basic file creation tasks. it's like bro, vibe out in your life. if you're coding, you're just coding. you're not vibecoding. the vibe is you, the code is the code. you use the AI to navigate the code with less effort spent on the lookup tasks that used to dominate programming, and that's great because it keeps your vibe intact, but the code still has to work or you haven't done anything. and making the code work is a thing you're needed for every step of. so quit underselling yourself and your work. you have one life and you can spend each moment exactly once. value it.

In 2018-19, I led a team of researchers to quietly investigate this and found that the Roulleaux formation was directly caused by holding a cellphone. We tried to generalize and failed. That doesn’t mean there isn’t an effect, it just means we couldn’t model. More recently, I quit wearing my Apple Watch due to mild neuropathy in my left hand. It appears that the effect has to do with stress but not with direct genomic problems. Kudos to this team for their success. Watch out for these electronics we all love so much. Imma go buy a wired headset. https://apple.news/AWqZGUJMpSLipCFLd3kZ3uA
