One normal day in a biohacking family: the kids burn energy at football, then refuel on grilled protein and a table full of fermented vegetables — and I get a clean run at my own inputs. Here's why Korean BBQ is quietly one of the best meals a biohacker can order.
Two updates: a Colombian-Arab chef teaching the kids to cook — with the real science on why the Levantine pantry is one of the healthiest on earth — and a follow-up to the oily-skin post. The skin turned smooth, and the honest reason is mostly metabolic, not the peptides.
Everyone keeps asking whether AI will take their kids’ jobs. Wrong question. The kids growing up now won’t compete with AI — they’ll speak it natively, and a head start on that fluency is the best investment I know of.
Get outside in the first hour after waking and you set your alertness now and your sleep tonight — no supplement does that for free. The science, the dose by cloud cover, my one-hour pool-sun-sauna routine, and the 10-minute version for busy days.
Tomorrow, Anthropic’s best model leaves the Max plan and starts charging by the token — on top of your subscription. I’m not paying it. Here’s the stack I’m switching to, and why I think Anthropic blinks.
Two rival frontier models, both at maximum reasoning, in one loop that ships unattended for days. It runs $500–$1,000 a day — and measured against what it delivers, that's cheap.
The Sol/Terra/Luna preview is now real. GPT-5.6 shipped July 9 — and the story isn't the benchmarks. It's that Sol is bundled into ChatGPT Pro at half of Claude Fable 5's token price, plus one coding benchmark OpenAI quietly skipped.
Anthropic found a small, privileged workspace inside Claude — internal patterns, readable with a new Jacobian 'J-lens', holding concepts the model reasons with but never writes down. Not a consciousness claim. Maybe something more useful: a window into the thoughts a model doesn't print.
OpenAI isn't shipping GPT-5.6 as one model. It's shipping a ladder — Sol, Terra, Luna — that turns the frontier into a pricing decision. Public launch Thursday. Here's how to read the three tiers and where each one actually earns its cost.
Anthropic's ClaudeDevs shared the pattern they lean on with Fable 5: don't make the frontier model do the work — make it the advisor. A cheaper executor runs the loop and calls up to Fable 5 only at the decisions that matter. Most tokens bill at the cheap rate; judgment stays near the top.
OpenAI's GPT-Live rolls out in ChatGPT today: full-duplex voice models that listen and speak at the same time, and quietly hand the hard questions to a frontier model in the background. The interface just stopped being a prompt box.
Anthropic published the oral history of Claude Code — from a safety-research side project nicknamed clide to the tool that changed how Silicon Valley writes software. The interesting part isn't the launch. It's the four quiet years before it, and the shrug it got after.
