Low-Intensity Interval Training Can Be as Effective as HIIT
 But only if you spend more time working out.

Editor's Note: People with bone and joint problems may not enjoy HIIT due to the heavy loading that it requires. And though HIIT is reasonably safe for people with heart problems, it's worth knowing that heart attacks are five times more likely following a HIIT workout than other types of exercise in higher risk cardiac patients. However, the benefits of any exercise often outweigh the risks, in both healthy people and those with health conditions.

WorkWorkStan Lee's Last Days: A Shocking Tale of Love and Abuse IN APRIL 2018, a video appeared on YouTube that changed everything. It was recorded on a cellphone at the Silicon Valley Comic Con, a comic book convention where Stan Lee was a star attraction. In the grainy video, the 95-year-old creator of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man, Hulk, Black Panther, X-Men and others appears unable to sign his name. Which is important to note, because Lee and his handlers were there to sell his signature for $120 a pop. A dark-haired man in his 40s, dressed like an MTV gangster, in a black skinny suit, black fedora and sunglasses, coached the barely cognizant writer through the task.

It has hobbled Hamas in Gaza, severely damaged Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon and fended off missile salvos from Tehran while landing its own blows in Iran. WorkWorkWhat It Takes to Thrive During a Crisis - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) Keith Ferrazzi, founder of the consulting firm Ferrazzi Greenlight, surveyed more than 2,000 executives to learn how they changed their operations during the pandemic. The results show that some companies had already been cultivating a kind of extreme adaptability before the pandemic. That practice helped them come out on top. WorkWorkThe Hollywood Slog That Led Adam Scott to "Severance" - The New Yorker (No paywall) In late 2012, Dan Erickson was a twenty-eight-year-old aspiring screenwriter in L.A., working a dull job in office management at a door-parts company. Day after day, he sat at a computer monitor cataloguing hinges and cabinet pulls. He longed to escape the drudgery, but he needed the money; he was saddled with debt, and drove a dinky scooter to save on gas. One morning, while walking into work, Erickson had a thought: What if I could skip ahead to the end of the day, and my work would magically be done? During his lunch breaks, he began turning this idea into a pilot for a high-concept workplace thriller called "Severance." The result was part "The Office," part "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." A sinister corporation called Lumon Industries has invented a microchip brain implant that can bisect a person's consciousness into an "innie" and an "outie"--an office self and a home self. Lumon employees who choose to have the implant installed work on a subterranean "severed floor" of Lumon's headquarters. The chip is activated as they ride an elevator down, erasing their knowledge of their outside lives. Their home selves, in turn, know nothing of what happens within the office's walls. The show's protagonist, Mark Scout, is a severed man toiling in Lumon's Macrodata Refinement Department, sorting numbers into arbitrary groupings. Outside the office, his outie is a bereft widower who chose to sever his mind just to get some emotional relief. At work, his innie is upbeat, affable, on task--and, like his severed co-workers, effectively trapped forever at the office, by design. WorkWorkWorkWorkAI Models Are Getting Smarter. New Tests Are Racing to Catch Up Despite their expertise, AI developers don't always know what their most advanced systems are capable of?at least, not at first. To find out, systems are subjected to a range of tests?often called evaluations, or ?evals??designed to tease out their limits. But due to rapid progress in the field, today?s systems regularly achieve top scores on many popular tests, including SATs and the U.S. bar exam, making it harder to judge just how quickly they are improving. WorkWorkThe top billionaires have these 7 things in common Most investors will never become billionaires, but there are still some valuable lessons to be learned by examining what the richest people in the world have in common. You may be able to apply some things to your own life or portfolio, even if you don't ultimately reach billionaire status. WorkWorkWorkWorkYes, Americans are much richer than Japanese people Now, Samo makes what I think is a major mistake here -- using GDP at market exchange rates rather than at purchasing power parity. If only imports mattered for living standards, we could use market exchange rate GDP here, since that reflects how many imports you can afford.
