Who Are the Unexpected Friends in Your Life? ↳

I live in NYC in a huge building and have made friends with so many of my neighbors. Having a kid helps — it’s easy to meet parents of other kids on the local playground and older people like to engage with little ones. Once after chatting in the elevator with a woman in her 90s about my toddler’s potty training, she stopped by with a potty training book that had a sticker chart. He loved it and was so enchanted that she brought it by especially for him. We became friendly — turns out she is a playwright. Eventually she invited us to the debut of one of her plays and my husband went while I wrangled the toddler. It was on a weeknight somewhere deep in Harlem. He said that at the end he realized another neighbor, our doorman and the building super were in the audience too — just the whole building quietly supporting her.

In the April 2026 Peak to Peak board meeting they mentioned getting 1594 applications for 200 spots, across Kinder and Sixth grade. ↳

Humanity's Last Exam ↳

Fascinating repo of incredibly esoteric and difficult questions that frontier models can benchmark themselves on — Opus 4.6 scores a paltry 46%. Also discussed on the New York Times.

The questions shouldn't be shared but there are 2500 of them and they're accessible via Hugging Face — so interesting!

An example question which they shared:

Hummingbirds within Apodiformes uniquely have a bilaterally paired oval bone, a sesamoid embedded in the caudolateral portion of the expanded, cruciate aponeurosis of insertion of m. depressor caudae. How many paired tendons are supported by this sesamoid bone? Answer with a number.
