It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.

A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools. We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. t.co

In last week's newsletter, I talked about how resistance training can support cardiovascular health in postmenopausal women. It's not just aerobic exercise! You can now read the issue - and sign up for free - in our archive. We send it out every week. t.co

Creatine is a supplement most women should be taking, especially post-menopause. 5 grams/day combined with resistance exercise increases lean mass and muscle strength but has inconsistent effects on bone mineral density. It makes productive training slightly more productive.

Five servings of fruits and vegetables per day may not be enough for heart health benefits. Only 20% of people who meet these guidelines have an estimated flavanol intake of 500 mg/day, a level associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in randomized controlled studies.

This podcast is definitely going to be part of my regular listening queue. Congrats on the launch @mackinprof and @gibalam! Both are previous guests on the FoundMyFitness pod. I've learned so much from both.

I'd encourage everyone to grab a copy of Dr. Arthur Brooks' new book 'The Meaning of Your Life' or gift it to someone who might enjoy it (I plan to buy a few copies myself!) He shares so much wisdom on how to live a happy, fulfilling life.

Incredibly interesting result here. Combining rapamycin with exercise didn't help and may have even impaired exercise adaptations in older adults! Reminds me of metformin (also once marketed as a "longevity drug"), which also blunts exercise adaptations in certain contexts.
