The moat is giving a fuck, not being a doomer, and waltzing through life with a smile that gives cynical people extreme pain.

I'm slowly learning that high agency is the _only_ thing that matters going forward

Get addicted to neuroplasticity, subconscious reprogramming, delusional optimism, game theory, quantum physics, cognitive biases, systems thinking, epigenetics, and first-principles thinking. I promise it will change your life.

Siftivo is going headless. I originally built Siftivo as a reading app. But the useful part underneath the app, the book data, discovery, recommendations, and reader libraries, shouldn’t require using my UI. So with an agentic future in mind, we began work on a headless offering. If you’re building an agent, assistant, or anything else that needs to understand books, you can now plug into Siftivo and search the catalog, look up books, authors and series, make recommendations, see what’s actually being read right now, and work with a reader’s own library. This is the part I’m most interested in: Siftivo doesn’t have to be the place where someone asks what they should read next. It can just be the intelligence behind the answer. There are 12 tools available today, with a lot more coming around taste, lists, and bringing your existing reading history with you. siftivo.com/blog/siftivo-for…

One issue I keep having with @Muse on iPhone is when switching between conversations, I want to swipe the chat page away to reveal my chat list, but I always end up in their custom reply to message swipe instead.

Unpopular opinion. NFL games should shorter their quarters from 15 to 12 mins. 3.5 hrs is too long for my attention span these days.

My entire feed is meta @Muse, @alexandr_wang and @finkd. Like all of it

Muse is an incredibly well designed user-friendly product, the best new AI product I have used in some time, certainly the best of the personal agent apps. Muse just does things for you, it has a can-do attitude. It is the non-technical openclaw. It is what OpenAI should have built with all that openclaw IP

Muse connectors are api based not mcp? Is that correct?

Tom Brady calling the Microsoft Surface tablet an “iPad” after Microsoft spent all that money with the NFL is objectively hilarious.

We at the Review mourn the loss of Annie Dillard (1945–2026). In celebration of her life and work, we’ve unlocked “For the Time Being,” Dillard's 1998 piece about the life of the French priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, from the archive. buff.ly/SxIquAa
