So You Want a Healthy Brain?
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=187013&nl=daily all want
to be smarter. Sharper. Calmer. Wiser. Maybe even a little bit
unstoppable. But before we start chasing nootropics and whispering to
our synapses, let’s set one thing straight: the brain is not a
machine. It’s a symphony. A jungle. A cathedral built by electricity
and blood sugar and ancient survival instincts.

And if you’re not caring for that structure properly, no amount of
biohacking is going to save you. So let’s get into it: not the usual
self-help sludge, but a precision-tuned guide to building the kind of
brain you’d trust with your most important decisions. One that’s
wired for insight over impulse. One that learns and leads and lets go
when needed.

There's a mathematical concept called the kissing number. Somewhat
disappointingly, it's got nothing to do with actual kissing. It
enumerates how many spheres can touch (or "kiss") a single sphere of
equal size without crossing it. In one dimension, the kissing number
is 2. In two dimensions, it's 6 (think The New York Times'spelling
bee puzzle configuration). As the number of dimensions grows, the
answer becomes less obvious: For most dimensionalities over 4, only
upper and lower bounds on the kissing number are known. Now, an AI
agent developed by Google DeepMind called AlphaEvolve has made its
contribution to the problem, increasing the lower bound on the kissing
number in 11 dimensions from 592 to 593.

Ethel Caterham, at the age of 115 years, is said to be the oldest

positive mental attitude and have everything in moderation.” When
she was born in 1909, the average life expectancy of a British female

Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been
the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given
statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by
what kinds of theorems they can prove, and how many. They spend the
bulk of their time coming up with fresh insights to make a proof work,
then translating those intuitions into step-by-step deductions,
fitting different lines of reasoning together like puzzle pieces.

Inside the Living Rooms of Notable New Yorkers

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=187013&nl=daily]
What aspects of living are meant to be done in a living room, exactly?
Not eating, which takes place, at least theoretically, in the dining
room or in the kitchen; not sleeping or having sex, which takes place
in the bedroom. (And, unless you live in an old East Village tenement,
I won’t even mention bathing.) What the living room is for,
ostensibly, is gathering. It’s the most public-facing of a home’s
spaces, and, as such, it bears a particular burden: that of showcasing
to others who the occupants are. The quilt you drape on your couch,
the paintings you hang on your walls, the tchotchkes you select for
your mantel—all are about as important to your adult self-conception
as heavy eyeliner and chunky boots are to an emo teen’s, which is to
say, very. The signifiers might change, but the impulse remains the
same.
