Agreed. There's something about the gestational phase, aka nanotechnological self-assembly, that surely requires at least a few lines of code(!) and which otherwise is never used again -- until passed on to the next generation. Probabl

Postage price increases over the past hundred years generally match inflation to within a couple percentage points. So agreed: it's a very low price for an impressive and efficient service.

Conversational or otherwise, you keep saying it's inheritable but these "ADHD genes" are only correlated with increased risk, not predictability. That's key, because one is nature, the other nurture. Also, proving a cor

There's definitely a moral aspect / undertone here (similar to many other topics). I think also, disputes like this suffer from a double red herring of sorts, where folks argue past each other and confuse "whether a solution

Right, so then "ADHD genes" are only correlated! (You'd said, "it's [ADHD] very highly inherited" -- which sounds declaratively causal. But if you didn't mean this as a causal statement, then cool. No wo

These studies are correlative but not casually conclusive. As in, yes there are genes that seem correlated with people who exhibit ADHD symptoms, but that doesn't mean the counterfactual is also true: "everybody with these genes

Also, can you please reference some studies that prove ADHD is inherited?

Dr. Barkley's counterargument is essentially "it's preposterous to suggest that ADHD isn't well defined ... because clearly it is well defined," but that's a circular argument -- and still conflates "diagn

Google is an annoying example! Especially on mobile the search bar shifts around between mainpage, search field edit-mode, and results page, but shifts only a half second after loading a static version. End up clicking into a blank new se

It sounds like a nice idea, but the only common factor between ATC and CCT is the certification and some fundamental core training -- everything else is super nuanced specific to each scenario. Some CCT who's specialized in deconflicti

What if everyone started responding with aggressive encouragements, "Escape!" "Run from that place," "Murder your overlords, you outnumber them!"

1. A good bet "potable" isn't a requirement for whatever spent water is discharged from data center cooling systems (only potable water should be in drinking water pipes anyway). 2. Warmed water holds less oxygen, which nega

But auto-stretching windows to the screen's height has somehow turned into a frustrating game of mousing over a 0.001 pixel sweet spot at the top of the window. Maybe there's a hotkey for it though.

Not working out contributes to testosterone decline. Also lack of vitamin D. No reason to give up now, not when old people still run marathons. Use it or lose it.

Focus more on "human-caused" rather than climate change. Humans both caused pollution, and suppressed fires. Each amplifies the other.

Interesting to realize "clinician" is nowadays usually in a medical context -- but nonetheless, this paper's pure categorization of problem solving was prophetic of mainstream medicine's hubris and incentives: > &

14 hours every day is considered great (don't eat late, skip breakfast), a solid 48 hour fast every month or so is also great. Small human studies, for example, have measured 5x to 10x increases in HGH after 48 to 120 hr fasts respect

Totally. Doing sprints on a rower after cutting carbs is a great way to plunge into ketosis -- or anything strenuous for long enough time. Have felt the shift while pushing a lawn mower for a while.

Yes there's a lot of hormonal / circadian rhythm effects at play in the evening and early morning. Additionally, you fast while you sleep, so extending that period before and after (not eating late, plus skipping breakfast) helps

Don't forget electrolytes while fasting / in ketosis (all three: sodium, magnesium, and potassium).

Right, but I imagine most sites will continue to use third-party authorization for passkeys, similar to Okto, Auth0, et al? They'd even be incentived to do so if it meant more granular user profiling -- all alongside third-party guara

While better in many ways, broadly speaking this could mean no more throwaway accounts? Passkeys that require embedding on personal devices like cell phones means direct affiliation with your identity, no? Seems like a shadow benefit to in
