Creatine:One of the most well-researched and effective supplements for enhancing muscle strength, cognitive function, and overall energy production, with benefits extending beyond athletes to general health and aging.
It supports brain health, muscle recovery, and even metabolism, making it a simple, safe, and cost-effective addition to nearly anyone’s daily routine.
I take creatine daily. NEVER trust supplements from SCAMazon. Full of fakes with who knows what inside. Buy direct or don't bother.
Many people claim that "AI agents" have 100x'ed their productivity, but they often don't have a valid explanation on how they did it. However, if you do what Y Combinator President & CEO Garry Tan suggests in this presentation, you'll be ahead of 99% of people. The internet calls him one of the "most AI psychotic people online," but that's what they call everyone ahead of the adoption curve. Just ask Baruch Spinoza, a 1600s philosopher who was excommunicated from his religious community for forward-thinking. Garry uses the story of Spinoza to provide useful insight on why you want to own your intelligence and how AI agents make that possible
Philip II is dead on a theater floor and his 20-year-old son inherits the deadliest army in the world along with every enemy Philip ever made The year Alexander proves he isn't what Demosthenes called him, a boy, a child, a simpleton, a boob: succession purges that may have claimed five of the six people buried in Philip's tomb complex, a march to the Danube against Thracians, Tribali and Getae, knife fights among the rocks in Illyria, and Thebes wiped off the map in a single day Arrian enters as a source here, so for the first time there is real battle detail: wagons bouncing off locked shields on Mount Haemus, tents stuffed with straw ferrying 5,500 men across the Danube in one night, and a silent drill display that spooks an entire Illyrian army off a hillside
Everybody and their mother can't stop raving about The Odyssey, but how does it stack up to someone who has read the epic over ten times? Alex Petkas is the host of Cost of Glory, a podcast that recounts the lives of the great historical figures of antiquity. Given his deep knowledge of the subject, he's here to answer the burning question: is this new adaptation just another schlocky popcorn war movie, or a worthy portrayal of the hero our society so desperately craves?

Lesson #1: We are making a similar mistake by looking at intelligence like it is a god…
“Everyone is waiting for AGI as a singular event, a god in a data center… So now I’ll say a version of Spinoza’s heresy, updated 400 years later. Everyone is watching the sky, and the thing they are watching for is already in the room. It doesn’t look like a god. It looks like infrastructure, a terminal window, a folder of markdown files, a job that finishes while you sleep. [It is] spread through everything, which is exactly where Spinoza told you to look. AGI isn’t arriving as an event. It’s arriving diffused as your agent running on your context doing your work. I call it personal AGI, not artificial general intelligence for everyone all at once. General intelligence for one person, you.”
Lesson #2: “Conatus” is your striving, the drive to keep going and to increase your power to act
“Not your resume. Not your title. Not your job. The striving itself. This talk is about the tools that amplify it.”
“If you’re going to start a startup, you could do well to XXXX”
Personal AGI is an asset you build, while corporate AI is just XXXX
Personal AGI gets better based on your owned infrastructure, memory, and XXXX
Corporate AI only gets better when the company ships XXXX
The use case for personal AGI is most obvious right now in XXXX
In 2013, Garry shipped about 14 useful XXXX per day (industry median)
In 2026, Garry can ship 400x that amount of XXXX per day
“I believe tools of the powerful should be given away. When something that powerful stays private, you get a priesthood. When it gets given away, you get a renaissance. I know which one I want to live in.”
For 20-year-old Alexander III, Philip’s murder is both at once, the geopolitical earthquake and the personal one, watched from a few feet away
Philip built an intricate web that relies on him being the spider in the middle of it, take the spider out and what do you have?
Make the definitive Alexander movie and you’ll hit 10 or 15 spots in his life that are blank or a fork in the road, do you decide he killed XXXX or that he didn’t?
Paul Cartledge’s point in his introduction to the Landmark Arrian, everyone has their own Alexander because everyone XXXX
Which explains a biographical range running from philosopher king on one end to drunken genocidal XXXX
Multiple modern historians say the hit on Attalus never happens without XXXX approval, and XXXX was the victim’s father-in-law
Several of XXXX family members collect plum promotions afterward
XXXX: Alexander’s superpower, disorienting at the tactical level and the strategic level, he’ll be where you don’t expect him before you think he could get there
Peter Green’s take on Alexander’s other superpower: an uncanny ability to XXXX in advance, part first-class intelligence service, part sheer psychological intuition
The wagon ambush on Mount Haemus: Alexander’s answer to hundreds of XXXX
Sections with room simply break formation and let the XXXX
Sections trapped in the narrow pass lie prone with XXXX
Example: Odysseus defeats the Cyclopes with not only trickery, but with XXXX
Example: Odysseus uses XXXX against the suitors to get the job done, even though it is dishonorable
Different translations of The Odyssey offer different experiences
XXXX is the best place to start because it hardly feels like reading poetry
XXXX is his favorite because it has great rhythm and it “preserves the strangeness of Homer”
XXXX is very poetic because he comes from a classical background
XXXX is a lower level read and she sometimes lets her personal opinions influence the translation
