.@cursor_ai Bugbot is fantastic. The Claude Code Action is too verbose. It will write a whole essay even when all it has to say is "lgtm". And Github Copilot is very rudimentary. But Cursor Bugbot comments are always worth reading, and ~50% are worth fixing.

GitHub is one of my favorite developer tools. It's fantastic, and it's better than most of the analogous tools at most big techs. Most impressively, GitHub has continued to improve through 2 CEOs (@natfriedman @ashtom) under Microsoft. Keep it up!

Friend had gut issues for years. Stopped taking AG1. Gut issues miraculously and completely went away. There's 100 ingredients in it, no specified amounts, and no evidence for it. Shame on @davidasinclair and @hubermanlab for shilling AG1.

I absolutely love Sarah Paine's requirement to give not only one's thesis, but also a counter-argument to it. Prevent mono-causal explanations.
First Sarah Paine lecture & interview is out!. How Imperial Japan (population 47M) crushed Tsarist Russia (130M) and Qing China (400M). For me, the most interesting thing was that Japan's surprise attack on Port Arthur at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War (1904) helps us
