So You Want a Healthy Brain?
Sree VijaykumarWe 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.

Can Large Language Models Actually Discover New Algorithms?
Can Large Language Models Actually Discover New Algorithms?
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 person alive. She offers the sage life advice to “say yes to every opportunity because you never know what it will lead to. Have a positive mental attitude and have everything in moderation.” When she was born in 1909, the average life expectancy of a British female was 52 years – becoming a centenarian was a remote prospect.

Mathematical Beauty, Truth and Proof in the Age of AI | Quanta Magazine
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
Inside the Living Rooms of Notable New Yorkers
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.
