Science does not discriminate.

can't believe i spent my whole life becoming Good At Computer only for Computer to become Better At Computer

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

This is one of the most important studies in sleep science. Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours. The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours. But here’s what makes this study terrifying. The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating. This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired. The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens. Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness. The practical implications: If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter. For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput. Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“

The longer you spend in tech, the stronger the urge to buy a farm and never touch a computer again in your life.

If this isn’t grounds for the 25th amendment, I no longer have faith in our already diminished checks and balances.

“Depression cannot hit a moving target.” Best shit I’ve heard all year.

This could be an incredible revolution in Cosmology. The Dark Energy model of the universe, which won a Nobel Prize in 2011, may be completely wrong. The accelerating expansion instead is simply because time runs faster in the voids between galaxies. Let me explain:

HOW DO I PRESERVE THIS FEELING?

This has completely derailed my entire day. I’m in total zombie mode right now. Let’s add an extra “ARE YOU SURE?” dialog on sending emergency alerts, please.

AI will be the most powerful and dangerous weapon mankind will have ever made. No natural progression can prevent an eventual total systematic collapse. The threat vectors, intentional or not, are seemingly infinite and mostly indefensible.

Summer is here early.

I got punched in the face at a sporting event last night for no reason, AMA.

If you turn on C-SPAN, kill the volume, and queue up the Curb Your Enthusiasm Theme on repeat, you’ll have a good time.
