This is getting ridiculous. The Crowd is going so low in January. * approximate, plus processor fees (.8%-3%)

ダラスに着いて、Uberを呼んだら初めて自動運転タクシーが来たので意気揚々と乗車。そうしたらたまたま動画撮影中にまさかの事故… どうやらテスト中で一応ドライバーがいて助かりました。2人とも無傷だったのは幸い。 その後、もう一度タクシーを呼んだらまた自動運転車が来ました笑（乗った）

Don’t need as much protein as you think

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

I have total aphantasia. About 1% of the population has this. It means I have no ability to see images in my head. Zero. Total blackness. I can't see my children's faces when they are away, but I also can't be traumatized with PTSD/intrusive visuals. I also cannot daydream. Though I can dream visually while sleeping - about half of total aphantasics can still dream in visuals so I guess I'm lucky there. Fiction books are painful as I can't visualize the story at all. There are no colors. No visuals. No imagery. I get total blackness on any dose of psilocybin. But ketamine gives me amazing experiences that are also unique to being aphantasic. At the same time, I process data at a blistering pace and it drives me nuts when the rest of the world is so much slower. Normal persons will take in data, render imagery, filter the details, then take action... I simply take in the data and take action after near immediate processing. There is no imagery, no rendering delay. This is extremely apparent when I'm around others in person. I've learned to calm down and wait, which is hard as aphantasics are notoriously impatient and easily frustrated by this. Trying to train someone at the office is agonizing due to the processing speed differences. My wife has learned deal with it and understand my frustrations - and I work hard to remain calmer! Funny as well, when people giving a speech try and draw out visuals with metaphors and superficial details, we also become really impatient "get to the point man"... As it's agonizing stripping away all the visual nonsense that we can't process. I haven't figured out of it's a gift or a curse, either. One of my kids has it, the other doesn't. It's good to know, as it's helpful to understand why reading is so painful for my aphantasic kid as one example. Anyways, hope this was interesting!

For hardware reasons it's going to lag behind for a while yet. The finger gives better access to blood vessels than the back of the wrist. You'd ideally want it on the front of the wrist, but people don't want a bulky sensor there.

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

Did you know this is ultraprocessed? Despite the name "Mixed Berry," there are zero actual berries in this - it's faked with lab-made "natural flavors" and juice concentrates for color. The processing destroys the natural preservation environment of real yogurt, creating a breeding ground for mold and yeast - forcing them to add a chemical preservative just to keep it shelf stable.

I've been doing cold exposure for over 20 years. Including lots of cold plunges. The science points to the best results at 50 to 59°F, three to five minutes. That spikes norepinephrine, kicks on cold thermogenesis, and increases your sensitivity to dopamine. More suffering doesn't equal better results. I wrote a whole book about this. Going colder and staying longer just piles on cortisol. The right amount of cold exposure lowers inflammation, speeds recovery, and improves your mood. Three minutes sends the right signal. If you live near an Upgrade Labs, the cryo chamber gives you the same benefits in a more controlled environment. It's also a lot more comfortable than a cold plunge. If you're new to cold exposure, start with a cold shower. 30 seconds. Increase by 30 seconds every day until you reach 3 minutes. The first few days will suck. Then magically on the third day your mitochondria adapt and it becomes easier. Stick with it.
