It's actually shocking how good Figma's MCP is and how virtually no one is talking about it.
Like bro, you can design literally anything you can dream up in Figma and have Claude build it pixel-perfect in under 5 minutes.
Designers are so caught up in playing developer that they're overlooking the very thing they've spent their entire careers wishing was possible.

Calendars apps are incredibly hard to get right. So, with limited resources, in 2021 we had built Cron mobile app for iPhone and Android with React Native. We used custom Metal to get perf and it allowed us to re-use all the time zone math, grid mechanics, etc. from desktop via a shared TypeScript library.
Today, the @NotionHQ team unveils @NotionCalendar built natively from the ground up (at least I assume it’s today given this cute bunny greeted me on prod 🐰). It carries forward much of the Cron UI, like edge-swipe to add multiple time zones, event deduping, etc.
Been testing this for a few months and it has become my daily driver. Upgrade your calendar app today!

life becomes so fun when you start treating random strangers like homies youve known since you were 7. everyone is so shy, nerd necking staring at there shoes. when you rip people out of their zombied state of shyness you can literally see their brain get watered for the first time in 10 years.

l’annonce d’openAI sur la résolution de 3 verrous scientifiques majeurs marque un tournant brutal et honnêtement je suis souvent réservé avec ce genre d’annonce mais là autant voir dire que même moi je suis sur le cul hein je vous explique ça rapidement
en gros, ils ont publie des preuves dans l analyse harmonique avec la conjecture de lissage local de sogge et la geometrie des ondes), la physique théorique avec l’existence de theories quantiques des champs en interaction avec jauge et fermions et la theorie de la complexité algorithmique mais la ou le sol a vraiment tremble a mes yeux c’est sur ce dernier point avec la refutation de l’hypothese du temps exponentiel (eth)
pour comprendre le vertige il faut revenir aux fondamentaux et comprd’re que les problemes de classe P sont calculables en temps polynomial par une machine de turing deterministe alors que les problemes NP complets (comme 3-sat) semblaient condamnes a une explosion combinatoire exponentielle où le temps de calcul explose avec la taille des donnees
ce que la preuve etablit via un algo deterministe sur les formules cnf c’est qu’on peut exactement compter les affectations satisfaisables en temps subexponentiel et espace polynomial, ruinant l’idee qu’il existe une barriere mathematique infranchissable et ouvrant un regime algorithmique intermediaire quasi-polynomial  O(n log n) tout a fait inattendu!!!!
si je vous explique tout ça cnest aussi pour vous parler des implications industrielles de cette fissure dans le mur NP dur sont titanesques car en effondrant les tps de calcul sur la recherche operationnelle, on passe du tâtonnement heuristique a la resolution exacte pour le repliement des proteines en biophysique par ex, la verification formelle des puces de silicium sub-nanometriques, le controle magneto-hydrodynamique en tps reel des plasmas de fusion nucleaire dans les tokamaks (iter/spheromak) = ÉNORME CHALLENGE ou l’optimisation combinatoire instantanee des topologies de reseaux quantiques et tant d’autres sujets qui vont vous impactér dans votre vie de tous les jours et qui ont de quoi remettre en question toute votre vision du futur
We are announcing three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics about harmonic analysis, complexity theory, and quantum field theory.

this paragraph alone is the antidote to every “find your niche” advice on the internet.
“let him be educated, skilful with the pencil, instructed in geometry, know much history, have followed the philosophers with attention, understand music, have some knowledge of medicine…”
vitruvius wrote it 2,000 years ago, describing the ideal of the man.
true enlightenment is coming to the realization that you don’t have to limit yourself to one interest, but dive into as many as you want, and let every branch of your knowledge feed the others.
SPECIALIZATION is the modern cage. 🜂

This paper answers why can’t you remember being a baby?
For over a century, science said you can't remember being a baby because your infant brain was just too "immature" to record anything. researchers assumed your hard drive was basically turned off for the first two years of life.
But this wild paper from Yale completely rewrites how we understand human memory..
Researchers literally put awake babies (between 4 and 25 months old) into an fMRI scanner to watch their brains process new visual experiences in real-time.
and what they found is mindblowing..
the infant hippocampus isn't turned off at all. it is actively firing, capturing, and encoding episodic memories. they proved that babies with higher hippocampal activity during a new experience formed a highly stable memory trace.
the babies are recording the data. the memory of your first birthday, your first steps, the exact layout of the room you slept in.. it was all successfully saved to your brain.
so why can't you remember it?
the paper concludes that infantile amnesia isn't an "encoding" problem.. it is a "retrieval" problem.
your brain recorded everything perfectly. but as you grew, your brain underwent massive developmental shifts, like explosive neurogenesis (the rapid birth of new neurons), which completely restructured your neural networks. the pathways to access those early files got buried or locked away.
you didn't fail to make the memories.. you just lost the encryption key to open them.
somewhere deep in your hippocampus, the exact first-person memory of being a 1-year-old might still be sitting there. you just can't access the file anymore..
the human brain is terrifyingly beautiful.

meditation is a gateway to different levels of consciousness
like the electron in the double slit experiment, it is only when consciously observed that the subconscious reveals its “form”
whether you call it meditation or silent prayer , the simple act of sitting with your breath and watching your thoughts will open up the labyrinth of your own mind.
the subconscious remains elusive and formless until the conscious mind decides to confront it head it on
in the stillness, we begin to notice the things that usually get lost in the noise of everyday life. the thoughts that keep returning, the emotions we struggle to explain, the fears we bury and the beliefs we carry without ever questioning where they came from.
perhaps this is where meditation begins to reveal its true purpose. not necessarily to silence the mind, but to understand it. to sit with ourselves long enough to see what is happening beneath the surface, without immediately trying to escape it, change it or give it a name.
what we avoid looking at is exactly what we need to understand. and what we begin to understand we can finally begin to confront.
whether through meditation, silent prayer or simply allowing ourselves a moment of stillness, we create the space for the conscious mind to turn inward and observe what has always been there, just beyond our awareness.
the journey into consciousness is not about becoming something new, but about becoming aware of what has been shaping us all along.
Meditation literally increases the spectrum of visible light you are able to process.
Not as in seeing other colors or wavelengths like infrared or UV.
But it makes you see the midtones between colours more clearly and vibrant.
Imagine it as on a number line where every single natural number represents a color.
But after meditation you are able to dive into the endless depths of the decimal between full numbers or colors in our case.
You don't add more numbers to the line, but what you perceive becomes more rich and vibrant.
You can try this out for yourself.

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

the #1 financial goal you should have in life is to get out of survival mode and figure out how to stay out of it
the beauty of life becomes apparent only once you don't have to think and worry about the things other people around you spend their lives on
