İnsanlara 1 ila 10 arasında bir sayı seçmelerini isterseniz genelde 7 seçerler. 1 seçmezler, 10 seçmezler. O sayılar yüksek sesle söylenmiştir.
Birden zihinlerinde saymaya başlarlar. Genelde ona yaklaşırken onları cevap vermeye zorlarsanız, mesela dokunursunuz, o zaman bir asal sayı olan 7'i seçerler. 10'a yakın bir sayı. Güzel bir sayı. İçleri rahat eder.
Bu sebepten insanlar iyi bir rastgele sayı üreteci değildir. Bir takım "meyilleri" vardır.
LLM'ler daha da kötü. Bu eğilimi (bias) alıp onu bir davranış kalıbı haline getiriyorlar.

These are the golden years:
1. Exhausted after the kids are down
2. Walking with my son after practice
3. Playing Barbies with the girls
4. The endless questions
5. The “I love you” out of nowhere
6. Little feet running through the house
7. The funny prayers
8. The dance recitals
9. Toys everywhere on the floor
10. The giggles
11. The 47 bedtime requests
12. Little socks everywhere
One day, I bet we’ll wish we could have just one more day like this.

I used to lose my temper 3-4 times a day with my small kids.
Then I realized something that changed everything:
Your harsh words and overreactions aren't just "bad moments."
They're becoming your child's inner voice.
Here are 5 ways to get it under control (the last one will hit you hard):
First, understand this:
What you say to your kids TODAY becomes what they say to THEMSELVES at 25, 35, 45.
"You're so lazy."
"Why can't you just listen?"
"You're making me so angry."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why can't you be more like your brother??"
Those words don't disappear. They echo for decades.
We've all been there. No parent is perfect.
But you can get better. Here's how:
1. REFRAME: HAVE TO → GET TO
Stop saying "I HAVE TO put them to bed."
Start saying "I GET TO put them to bed."
I GET TO:
• Feed them
• Play with them
• Drive them to practice
• Read them to
• Tuck them in
When they're young, they rely on you for everything.
When they're older, they rely on you for guidance.
This window closes. Treat it like the privilege it is.
2. BUILD A GRATITUDE FOUNDATION
Your kids are a blessing.
Young souls you get to steward, watch over, and train.
They LOVE you. Deeply. Unconditionally.
How you parent either builds that love and bond—or weakens it.
When you're frustrated, pause and think:
"I get to be their dad. Not everyone has this."
Gratitude changes everything.
3. THE PERSPECTIVE SHIFT
Put yourself in their shoes.
If YOU were the child, how would you view YOUR parenting?
Would you feel:
• Loved, respected, cherished, valued?
Or:
• Confused, demeaned, frustrated, scared?
Your kids can't articulate this. But they feel it.
Their behavior is showing you what they're experiencing.
Notice this.
4. THE VIDEO RECORDING EXERCISE
Imagine cameras are recording your home all day.
At the end of the day, you have to watch it back.
Would you be proud?
Or would you see:
• Yelling over small things
• Impatience constantly
• Harsh words you can't take back
• A dad who's checked out
Last week I caught myself snapping at my 6-year-old over spilled milk. Stopped mid-sentence. Asked myself: would I be proud watching this back?
Changed my entire response.
Your kids ARE recording. Not with cameras but with their subconscious mind.
What you do today is what they'll remember tomorrow.
5. YOUR LEGACY (This one matters most)
Your children will grow up.
One day, they'll stand at your funeral and talk about you.
What will they say?
"Dad was patient and kind."
"Dad always had time for us."
"Dad taught us how to handle hard things."
Or...
"Dad was always stressed and angry."
"Dad had a short temper."
"We tried not to upset him."
Your legacy isn't built in big moments.
It's built in how you respond when they spill juice. When they won't listen. When they test you for the 47th time today.
Every moment of patience is an investment in what they'll say about you.
Every harsh word is a withdrawal.
Which account are you filling?
Look, I still mess up. Weekly.
But I'm intentional about getting better.
Pick ONE strategy. Try it for 7 days.
Your kids will notice.
And 20 years from now, they'll remember the dad who kept showing up.
Choose wisely.

Holding your breath for 30 seconds does something to your blood that no pill can replicate. A 2014 study in PNAS found that voluntary breath holds followed by deep breathing changed the immune response to a bacterial toxin, something doctors had believed was beyond conscious control.
Matthijs Kox at Radboud University in the Netherlands trained one group in the Wim Hof method and left a control group untrained. Both were injected with a part of the E. coli bacteria that normally brings on fever and headaches. The trained group, using a combination of deep breathing, breath holds, and cold exposure, showed 50 percent fewer flu-like symptoms and lower levels of the proteins that cause swelling and fever.
The researchers were surprised because the innate immune system was considered automatic and beyond voluntary influence. The trained group's white blood cells produced less of the inflammation markers that drive the symptoms, and the effect was measurable in blood draws taken throughout the experiment.
The trained group was less inflamed, and the proof was in proteins drawn from their veins. Kox said the study showed that humans can change parts of the immune system that were thought to run on their own.
The study was randomised and controlled, published in one of the top journals in the world, and the immune markers moved. The breath and the cold changed something in the blood that doctors had said could not be changed on purpose. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2479…

researchers gave adults a glass of tart cherry juice before bed and measured their sleep with polysomnography.
the cherry juice group slept 84 minutes longer per night than the placebo group. 84 minutes. from juice.
the study was published in the European Journal of Nutrition. adults with insomnia were given either tart cherry juice or a placebo for 2 weeks. the cherry juice group didn't just fall asleep faster. they slept deeper, woke up fewer times during the night, and reported significantly better sleep quality.
the mechanism is three compounds working simultaneously. first, tart cherries contain natural melatonin in quantities higher than any other food measured. not synthetic melatonin. the plant's own melatonin which your body recognizes and metabolizes more smoothly than the supplement version. second, they contain tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin. third, they contain procyanidins that inhibit the enzyme (IDO) that degrades tryptophan, meaning more of it converts to melatonin instead of being wasted.
one food. three sleep mechanisms. working together in a way that no single supplement replicates.
the benefits extend beyond sleep. tart cherry juice reduced inflammatory markers (CRP and IL6) by 25% in marathon runners. it reduced muscle soreness and strength loss after eccentric exercise by 20 to 30%. it lowered uric acid levels in gout patients more effectively than some pharmaceutical interventions.
8 ounces of tart cherry juice concentrate diluted in water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. the concentrate is key because it takes roughly 50 cherries to produce one ounce. drinking regular cherry juice doesn't deliver enough of the active compounds. dynamic health and lakewood both make reliable tart cherry concentrate. $15 for a 30 day supply.
the $15 billion sleep supplement industry sells synthetic melatonin in doses 10 to 100x higher than physiological levels. a $15 bottle of cherry juice delivers natural melatonin at the dose your brain was designed to receive. plus anti inflammatory and recovery benefits that no melatonin pill includes.

I’ve spent well over 10,000 hours studying math in my life, yet I can’t understand these proofs, at least not without weeks of digging deep into each topic. What’s more, none of my math PhD friends know much about these problems either, and they can’t verify most of them without working directly in the field (yes, math is VERY diverse).
LLMs are getting smarter than the experts themselves, and I’m not sure we have enough bright human minds to verify everything that will come out of them in the coming years.
Remember when we compared AI intelligence to PhD students? I think we’re past that.

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

Marc Andreessen says Elon Musk runs 120 design reviews a day in 5-minute slots.
He does this while running six different companies at once.
Andreessen says Elon maps each company as a production process.
Each process has one bottleneck — the single thing slowing it down.
Elon finds the engineer working on that bottleneck and sits with them until it's fixed.
He does this at Tesla 52 times a year. Personally.
"There's no CEO like this."
Most CEOs run their companies through a wall of middle managers.
Andreessen watched IBM collapse under that model.
Inside IBM, they had a name for the failure mode: the "Big Gray Cloud."
It was the traveling court of suited men who kept the CEO away from engineers.
After 12 layers of compounding lies, the CEO had no idea what was happening.
Elon's method is the polar opposite.
Design review math:
- 5 minutes per engineer
- 12 reviews per hour
- 10 hours per day
- 120 reviews per day
An engineer described working for him as entering "a zone of shocking competence."
On sustaining it, Elon's rule is:
"I don't take vacations."
What's the one weekly bottleneck in your work that nobody's fixing?

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT.
The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time.
A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.
Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.
GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.
Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.
It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.
Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.
99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.
If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars.
Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.
