love this scene so much i could not stop smiling at navarette's portrayal of this newborn being repeatedly fucking up and then learning from its mistakes in real time. immediately you can tell she has one goal but hasn't really figured out how to go about it

At the end of Moby Dick the white whale crushes the whaling boat, naturally large whale is stronger than small boat. This attention to powerscaling is why it has endured as a literary classic.

TLJ is a bad movie, but almost no one gets why. The ideas, such as Luke being disillusioned with the force, and Rey being a nobody, are amazing. The actual problem is that they are executed horrendously. The movie also have a HUGE tone problem

If I said this kind of game feels spiritually vegan would you understand what I meant in terms of vibes

“anyone can do art” used to mean that you worked hard to hone a craft and eventually gain the skill you wanted but now untalented people are using it as an excuse to just use AI to bypass any work at all and worse, they want your respect for it

if you call yourself an author but you use ai, you’re not an actual author sorry

[mon @ClTYOFMON]

Maybe this is controversial of me but if you see the scenes so clearly in your head but can’t get them into cohesive words that sound good, maybe you’re just not a writer lol

with no nuance bc it's not true, & that's one of the hardest parts abt living with a disability. Being held back from things that you're so passionate about & worked so incredibly hard for, or from menial things that it seems everybody else can do like driving, bc of something

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening.

UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm.

The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6.

Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it.

The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in.

About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters.

"I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.

Havent posted a lot on here recently but my friends at @RCWargaming helped me bring an idea ive had a long time to life: What if you could draft Warhammer 40,000 armies?
