this area is a literal gold mine, so underrated
vibey cafes, amazing parks, quaint neighbourhoods
def can't say you've seen toronto until you've explored this region
today was an inflection point for the future of toronto’s culture
the energy in the room felt inspiring. never felt this tight-knit to toronto before. from iced cortados to beef patties, you just had to be there man
takeaways from today
- toronto needs to stop comparing itself
café coworking
#8
- thank you for everything.
simply amazing session. lots of new faces, fun convos, and new coffee to try.
café was stunning, was conducive to both deep work and school cafeteria-like conversation. will definitely be coming back here again.
dm me if you wanna
there's a lot of stuff going on each week -- never a boring day in the city

fuck all the productivity and self-help bullshit out there
all you need to do is optimize for 3 things every day
1) eat healthy, and on a consistent schedule
2) be well-rested. don't sleep too little or too much
3) do some form of physical exercise (walks are great too)

we had 40+ signups for today's event. there's clearly a demand for initiatives like this. toronto would absolutely thrive if we had more third spaces to facilitate events like these. there's just something magical about working beside
Excited to share that I’ve joined the

You shouldn’t need a PhD to get started in biotech. We’re enabling undergraduates to get involved in biotech through education, community and capital.

- thank you for everything.
vibes: iced cortados for breakfast, sunlit patio, and deep work.
next session will be hosted in north york - dm for link :)
there's a surprising proportion of torontonions that dont know where this place is
how is this place not embedded within toronto's lore yet. it's gotta get to the point where people outside of toronto recognize it, like how people recognize pictures of grand central or the tokyo

i feel bad for those that live in Toronto but are completely blind* to all the wonderful new things happening in this city underneath the surface. they're missing out on a huge opportunity.
(e.g. - Socratica, Toronto Tech Week, New Demos, etc.)

- thank you for everything.
café was a hidden gem. shoutout to
@MichaelTrinh18
for putting us on shawarama pizzas.
hope to see y'all for tomorrow's session :)
ok nice, this has gained some traction
details for now:
- sometime before sept
- start from west end and walk towards downtown core (open to other suggestions)
- around 5-8pm (softer lighting + golden hour)
- maybe grab coffee or something
- group size: 5-24 ppl
lowkey embarrassing but i dont have a personal website
opting for a simple look. i feel minimal is better.
what's the best way to go about making one?
(ie framer, webflow, pure html/css, hugo, etc)
if you stay in toronto, you have to go on a walk with
@tommytrxnh
in high park, toronto.
will change your outlook on toronto, life, and everything. im still processing it man. reminded me of my time in japan for some reason.
Documented my journey with CRISPR...at Home! I go over the experiment protocol, explain how it works, and talk about the potential applications of the future.
Definitely worth a watch if you're into biotech! Let me know what you think.
Article in thread
toronto has the best "late night drive" vibes
play some weeknd or drake and its a whole experience man. feel bad for anyone that hasn't experienced that level of nostalgic yet melancholic euphoria before
Tokyo is absolutely mindblowing. How can one city have so many different and unique vibes?? Each part of Tokyo could be it's own city, genuinely.
Truly a spectacular place. If there's one place you must go, it's Tokyo.
ぜったい行ったほうがいいよ!

got on-boarded onto airchat td and it was definitely a bit confusing at first, but i feel like i’m getting the hang of it.
“the fastest way to create content is through audio; fastest way to consume content is through text.” -
@naval
Airchat combines both, in a fun package.
anyone else feel tired the entire day, but then get a random spontaneous burst of focus at 1am and be more productive at this time than the entire day?
then you fall asleep at 3am and wake up feeling sluggish the next morning. the cycle repeats.
shit makes no sense
"text-to-plasmid" project update: week 1
note: this is my first AI/ML project - all suggestions are welcome!
main priorities this week were
1) mapping out the backend.
2) getting data.
what i accomplished
1) roughly mapped out the backend
-> parse user input w/ LLM
-> search
any offices/spaces in toronto open to me dropping by and co-working?
more context: im building out an AI-powered web app for scientists. currently learning nlp, search logic, plasmid design, and web app development.
(really testing out the power of the bird app here)

@FelrynX
agreed, but i think it'd be extremely tricky to build in that area cuz of earl bales -- there's a huge ravine
or maybe that could make it easier actually idk
either way super annoying gap lol

After about half a year in university...
I did not expect to meet so many international students in university. It's honestly one of the most underrated and disappointingly unutilized parts about university imo. International students are awesome. Truly expands your global view.
