Dude, sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.

@wholebodyprayer @QiaochuYuan Theyre akin to a roller coaster for some!

@cremieuxrecueil Why is more REM being touted as a positive here? If anything we'd want a drug that more efficiently puts and keeps people in natural-looking NREM1

Would love to hear which sleep drugs you think are promising! Haven't seen any yet

@cremieuxrecueil What in tarnation is this graphic the more I look the less makes sense

How does one logic the logic man into feels?

The primary goal of modern reflection is excavation, uncovering, instead of one of sculpting, refining, like it seems the ancients used it for

A superpower - the "ability to suppress intellectual fear"

Forgot where I read this

@Halalcoholism I don't get it. It feels like the film went through pains to intentionally display their right wing villains as caricatures, not reality. And to some extent the leftier heroes. it's an alternate universe. It's obviously not here.

Pretty funny that founder mode became a thing considering what the verb to founder means

@cremieuxrecueil Been saying this for years. Even oura's own papers show like a 50% concordance on staging, they link the papers on their website as some sort of exciting proof and it just shows it like... Barely works for anything behind overall sleep time.

@MrsGoresDiary Ah yes, young children: a group notorious for avoiding things that they know make their tummy upset. Its why you see kids successfully swear off candy after Halloween every year

@lumpenspace Even if someone did try this in a person, without any methodological controls, if it didn't work we'd have no idea if it was because the treatment isn't effective or something else entirely. And vice versa if it did. It wouldnt really provide meaningful scientific information

@lumpenspace Someone could whip up something that treats in *theory*, sure. But we'd have no idea if it works or not.

There's a reason there's like 8 million cures for cancer we've found in genetically homogenous mice, and almost none of them end up working in people.

@TheMindScourge Siem reap, a much smaller town, has a similarly enormous and beautiful airport.

It's entirely unnecessary for the size and doesn't work well with the surrounding infrastructure. People barely have access to clean water. Cambodia has a ton of corruption with chinese interests

@BowTiedPhys The idea is closer to that not too far from now a local AI could understand your behavior and make something catered to you with just natural language.

Eg an older woman, similarly to when she learned how to google, says "I want a fitness app" at her computer and it makes it.

@IterIntellectus This exact pattern should be cause for skepticism, not validity.

Many examples in biology of improved measuring techniques increasing detection rates without an equivalent measurable effect on pathology

Polymarket incentivizes people with power to make tail events happen

Increasing power of AI means bets can be made in obscurity

The world is about to enter mega-high-variance mode

@AlexanderPayton Its not about good things, it's about biology.

Everything on biology has trade-offs. It's just how the system works

@_carlbeijer how we conceptualize our experience is so tied up into language that these are kinda the same thing, no?

[N @_Eschatonn]

@MScrubber @lookatmish @maluohsix The article's claim isn't that our ancestors didn't feel. It's that they experienced those feelings quite differently

[N @_Eschatonn]

@MScrubber @lookatmish @maluohsix Have you ever read an older book and think that a character's reaction was quite strange?

Have you ever read something pre-shakespeare and felt stricken by how connected you felt to their emotional expression?
