At Big Tech annual events like AWS Re:Invent, Microsoft BUILD, GitHub Universe etc these co’s sell sponsor booths for PARTNERS in their ecosystem.
Cancelling a sponsor booth last minute is unheard of: and yes, it suggests AWS is shit scared of Cloudflare, as a COMPETITOR.

Founders are often puzzled when investors reject them for what seem like stupid reasons. There are two possible explanations: (a) the investors actually are stupid, or (b) they just dislike you, and are making up the reason. And that or is not a xor.

Resting heart is the new thirst trap
It’s the sexiest thing about you
Since 2021 I’ve posted about RHR:
> 207 times
> generating 366,220 likes
> 78.3 million views
> these numbers are X only
Now it’s a mainstream symbol of high status
People will adopt something if it helps them get access to sex, money or power.
Resting heart rate before bed was my first big aha moment in my health quest. I discovered that it was the single number to rule all other numbers.
RHR is the composite number for food, exercise, stress, routine, discipline, nervous systems, mood and more. It’s endlessly useful.
I had to break RHR out of esoteric health and into status and social signaling. RHR needed to represent a person’s youth and vibrancy and signal genetic fitness.
So I hit the topic from more than ten angles:
> masculinity
> cognitive performance
> fertility
> sexual health
> discipline
> will power
> judgement
> health
> peer status
> values
> rebellion against status quo
Others saw the social leverage and started working on their RHR to post. Press started picking it up, putting my name and resting heart rate in the headline.
The science behind a lower resting heart rate is solid. It is a composite health marker of a person’s biological vitality.
If you’re new to resting heart rate, here is a quick guide.
Health is confusing, and overwhelming.
But your heart makes things really easy.
> a low resting heart rate before bed is good
> a high resting heart rate before bed is bad
If my RHR is 41 before bed, a perfect night sleep awaits:
+ asleep in less than five min
+ 4 hr of restorative sleep
+ 0 to 1 wake events
+ awake no more than 20 minutes
That's the 99% percentile sleep performance for an 18 year old. As you age, it's increasingly harder to sleep.
If you’re sleep is good, life is good.
So here is where you can start:
+ finish all food 4 hours before bed
+ screens off 30-60 min before bed
+ finish caffeine around noon
+ avoid blue light, use red and amber instead
+ read a book before bed
+ have a 30-60 min wind down routine including walking, journaling, breath work meditation, talking to friends, a chill hobby, etc.
Do these things and I promise every part of your life will improve.

Cargo's compilation model is built around crates: independent crates get compiled in parallel, and unaffected crates can be skipped entirely.
We split up uv's primary crate into 14 (!) crates (from 46k to 6k lines of code), and it sped up incremental build times by 30 to 40%!

Trying out X articles, decided to at last explain my criticisms graph libraries properly.
Graphs are dead, long live graphs.

A year ago, many dunked on Meta for spending billions to hire top AI talent and acquire Alexandr Wang (I was skeptical too, tbh).
But the success of the Muse app and models proves one thing:
Hire top talent, assemble a cracked team, give them an ambitious goal and enough resources, and they can work wonders.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
