@MattMurrie I don't know about ultradian rhythms but I've been thinking even more about artificial light and circadian rhythms- what if you could build digital devices such as phones that emit light that mimics the sun throughout the day and firelight at night.
@auren Why wouldn't it ever be the reverse? Seems rational to look at the ratio employees to the ratio of output\work and ask "do I need more? do I need less? Or are we at the right ratio given the current economic circumstances?"
@MattMurrie Yeah, modern society would definitely change but it's not like it would a lot. Could humans have used tails in ancient warfare? Like, a spiked tail to attack your opponent with. When our physiology was more critical to our survival, a tail would have made life different.
@MattMurrie This community would be more of an "opt out" rather than an "opt in" thing: https://t.co/HxzeERCPuF
Of course, they do more than just tails and I really don't quite understand their psychology.
@MattMurrie The number of LLM or Search engine queries made a day that don't have immediate practical significance (ex of practical: I need to reorder pet food or answer my manager's question)- actually I'm not sure. That's measuring curiosity not creativity.
@MattMurrie "Curiosity gives us access to think outside of our algorithms." I think this is a very significant idea since it seems like some people can get so stuck in filtering the world through certain schemas.
@default_friend This is a great post @default_friend. Although difficult to verify, I think you are right (especially for men in their late teens and through their twenties). Personal anecdote posted in my reply below.
@peterjhasson@FreeBeacon@SaysSimonson@ChuckRossDC Are you supposed to list every job you worked on your resume or just the relevant jobs and experience? In my mind, it's weird to require listing irrelevant jobs to the position. (but you are often required to fill gaps in online HR management forms)
@MattMurrie Incentives can be misaligned-> the service an be excellent but not used in the appropriate way (or not easy to use at all). Causes a headache for the digital maintenance folk and\or the Users.
@MattMurrie Changes are easy but problematic. So many different interdependencies -> one change can seemingly have obvious benefits but the downstream effect on something else can be problematic. Being treated like Utility can be an issue. When an employee uses X they don't bear the cost.
@SpencrGreenberg I was looking at the Fortune 500 companies and noticed two cigarette companies were still in the middle of the list. That's after all the regulation and health warnings. Free Markets love addiction more than they love life\flourishing. Consumers can be manipulated for profit.
@rorysutherland Maybe they want to gamify the supermarket by hiding the eggs in the back inside off of ugly plastic container. Next they need to add dirt to hide the eggs in like a treasure/Easter hunt. Effort will make shoppers appreciate the eggs more and justify price increases.
