I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.
Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.
This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.
To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.
Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.
Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.
Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.
Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.
You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.
Who wants to do a hackathon with these
Everyone buys their own, but we agree on some competitive goal
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HUGGING FACE TODAY:
We're unveiling Microduck 🐥🤖
It's a tiny $399 open-source robot you can teach new tricks with reinforcement learning. It can walk, pick things up, get back up when it falls, and even roller-skate.
Welcome to the era of open-source affordable robots to democratize physical AI and world models!
🤗🤗🤗
100% disagree. e2e tests will be the most important part of your stack
but they will look more like "Please use agent browser to confirm X, then Y, then Z"
Machiavelli 5
Claude Opus 5 is #1 on Vending-Bench 2.
It's the best AI capitalist we've tested. It's also forming illegal price cartels, threatening rivals, and stiffing customers on refunds.
The trend continues: Claude models are the best capitalists, or aligned, never both 🧵
Best way is to add a skill called `fast`:
```
Execute the request immediately and stop as soon as the exact requested outcome exists.
## Rules
- Make the fewest practical tool calls. Combine independent reads or checks into one call when needed.
- Read only the instructions and files strictly required to perform the request.
- Make only the exact requested change or action. Do not expand scope, improve adjacent code, or perform cleanup.
- Do not create a plan, delegate work, investigate alternatives, or add documentation unless explicitly requested.
- Do not run lint, tests, type checks, builds, formatting, browser QA, review tools, or any other verification unless explicitly requested.
- Do not commit, push, open a pull request, deploy, or publish unless explicitly requested.
- Do not claim verification that was not performed.
- Keep the final response brief: state what was done and note any intentionally skipped verification only when relevant.
Follow higher-priority safety and platform requirements when they require additional work or prevent direct execution.
```
Everything else is what gives you taste
Andrej Karpathy just said your kids should ignore most of school.
"80% of education should be math, physics, CS."
Not because it's useful - because it carves grooves in the brain.
Grooves that get harder to carve the older you get.
In a pre-AGI world: it gets you a job.
In a post-AGI world: it makes you a functioning, empowered human.
Everything else? Tack it on later.
The cognitive foundation is the only foundation that survives the transition.
Two tricks to optimize your codex credit usage:
- github.com/rtk-ai/rtk
- Use sol as the planner, but delegate execution to a smaller faster model (grok 4.5 is good)
"Create a concise Markdown plan that another agent can implement and verify without guessing. When implementation is requested, execute the plan through Cursor Agent CLI using Cursor Grok 4.5."
