Many elite athletes devour ultraprocessed foods. Elite cyclists have pushed their performance limits by eating as much sugar as their digestive systems can handle. They eat sugar until they puke and it trains their guts to tolerate more sug

We can do a 1:1 comparison of the lifespans of regular cyclists vs. the lifespans of non-cyclists. In these studies the average cyclist lives longer. https://www.menshealth.com/uk/health/a39726399/cyclists-liv

Cycling isn't very dangerous. The average cyclist will outlive the average driver. The health benefits of regular cycling over a lifetime outweigh the risks.

It's the holy grail. When people can have naturalistic conversations with their computers they will love it more than other people. Ai doesn't need to be useful so much as it needs to be loved. That's the secret to getting AI

I rode Canada's VIA rail from Vancouver to Edmonton. Some poor Europeans sitting in the seat in front were freaking out when it became apparent the train was going be 10 hours late on what was billed as a 24 hour trip. They had a conne

Waymo is patronized by Alphabet for as long as it needs to be. This has been good, as it takes off a lot of pressure to virtue signal fake progress to impatient investors; a fate many of Waymo's potential competitors haven fallen victi

One place you don't see the Vision Pro suspended is on Tim Cook's face. There is weak demand for a Vision so dim and weak. The visionary pros at Apple couldn't see a clear provision for Tim Cook's half-baked Vision Pro.

You don't need any special technical skills to write the next great American novel. Few people actually do it. Talent and dedication are as elusive as ever.

It was 6 years ago Waymo announced it would acquire 20,000 I-pace vehicles. It's probably some amount less than 20k they'll actually be acquiring. https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/27/17165992/way

Those questions aren't interesting. Anything someone decides to regard as art is art. Can it be good art? As a tool AI can be used by a good artist to make good art. If one merely needed to press a button on a machine to make good art
