For a number of years now, I’ve had a power bank in my backpack to cover those “Uh oh, battery…” moments. But for a little while now, I’ve struggled be particularly interested in them, mainly because they’re so mundane; wired, wireless or both – then there’s the battery capacity and that’s about all there is to discuss. While it’s not one of the more commercial brands like Belkin, Laser’s NRG Vault made me look twice, then immediately reach out for a review unit. It’s a battery bank, but what’s different? Just to quickly cover the basics, it is a 20,000mAh…
In teaching EBT to medical students at UCSF with my collaborators Igor Mitrovic, MD, Lynda Frassetto, MD, and several esteemed “guest faculty” from the university, I learned a lot about the challenges physicians face. They treat problems that are largely symptoms of dysregulation and trauma, yet until recently, they had no neuroscientific, scalable way to help patients rewire the circuits that were hampering the effectiveness of their treatments.EBT coupled with technology is trying to support physicians, as well as psychologists and other health professionals, with ways to rewire those circuits and make medical care safer and more effective.From spiraling up…

In search of good vibes OpenAI, along with competitors like Google and Anthropic, is trying to build chatbots that people want to chat with. So, designing the model’s apparent personality to be positive and supportive makes sense—people are less likely to use an AI that comes off as harsh or dismissive. For lack of a better word, it’s increasingly about vibemarking. When Google revealed Gemini 2.5, the team crowed about how the model topped the LM Arena leaderboard, which lets people choose between two different model outputs in a blinded test. The models people like more end up at the…
