This is why we call it the “Pilot In Command” This happened in the same vicinity where the ill-fated Lear Jet hit the storm cell. JetBlue pilot en route from Fort Lauderdale to Austin says to ATC: “So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?” The captain then commanded the situation and overrode the ATC: “So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.” Sometimes piloting demands a specific set of traits - decisiveness, independent judgment, and the backbone to reject an instruction when it doesn’t feel right. Refusing the assigned heading showed exactly that kind of assertive leadership. Whoever is pilot monitoring must make these tough calls but ultimately, the captain is the final authority and ultimately accountable for every soul on board.

Introducing Genie 4 from @GoogleDeepMind, our most realistic and interactive world model yet 🌍 Now you can use natural language to dynamically steer the world and its soundscape in real-time, whether you're changing the weather, moving the camera, or introducing new elements to the environment. So, how does the model do that? Behind the scenes, Gemini acts as the "brain" of the simulation. It translates your requests into actions, plans out complex events, watches the scene unfold to keep track of what's happening, and adjusts as you change the story. Genie 4 also introduces ambient audio and real-time interactive human dialogue that adapts on the fly.

MrBeast did a 14-day water-only fast and got a DEXA scan before and after. Result: about 13 lbs of fat lost, and about 7 lbs of lean mass lost. That means roughly 1 in every 3 pounds he lost wasn’t fat. The internet keeps saying extended fasting “spares muscle,” and his own data says otherwise. To be fair, DEXA lean mass also counts water and glycogen, which drop hard early in a fast, so not all of that was real muscle tissue. But he also said the muscle didn’t come back once he started eating again. And the famous fasting “mental clarity” never showed up. By day 5 he was just drained, and by day 12 standing up was a struggle. Extended fasting is a tool, and it has a real cost. Most of what you read online only sells you the upside. Once glycogen runs out in the first day or two, your body makes glucose partly by breaking down protein, and muscle is the biggest protein store. Ketosis slows that breakdown over time but never fully stops it. Add no resistance training and full workdays on zero food, and losing lean mass is the expected outcome.

What's with the big tummy with bodybuilders? I know they can adjust and make the abs visible but why the bloated stomach.
