Telegraph UK: “Scientists have revealed the secret to living longer. Harvard experts believe the optimal way to extend life is adding more variety to exercise routines. They tracked more than 111,000 people over more than 30 years, finding that those with the broadest mix of physical activity had an almost 20 per cent lower risk of early death from all causes. Walking was the single activity associated with the lowest risk of death – 17 per cent lower for those who did the most walking compared with those who did the least. Individually, tennis, squash and racquetball were found to cut risk by 15 per cent, rowing by 14 per cent, running or weight training by 13 per cent, jogging by 11 per cent and cycling by 4 per cent. Climbing the stairs regularly was linked to a 10 per cent lower risk.”
Seb Krier: “To solve hard problems, reasoning models sometimes simulate an internal conversation between different personas, like a debate team inside their own digital brain. They argue, correct each other, express surprise, and reconcile different viewpoints to reach the right answer. Human intelligence probably evolved because of social interactions, and it seems like a similar intuition might well apply to AI!”
Naushad Forbes: “A developed India demands that we do better. That we invest in quality education as a society. That entrepreneurs in both manufacturing and services invest in the capacity and employment that skills our wider workforce. That we as a society have faith in the idea of progress, that we have a better future, and that the responsibility for delivering that better future rests with ourselves and not the government. And that we embrace the creative destruction that replaces inefficient incumbents with more nimble competitors.”
WSJ: “For most of the 20th century, pop culture was the glue that held the U.S. together. But what will it mean now that everything has splintered?…Like so many 21st-century trends, what feels good for us as individuals is eroding us as a populace. We stare at our phones rather than each other. We find out someone else has different political views than ours and swipe left on a dating app. And if we discover the person next to us on the plane listens only to truecrime podcasts and streams true-crime documentaries, we may feel there’s an unbridgeable gap between us and load up our favorite science-fiction series rather than talk to them.”
