As much as I applaud the biohacking curiosity, we've known for a while that sleep does lots of things to rest and repair the whole body. "Cleaning" the brain is only one of them. Finding an easy button to hack around the need

Yes. And to further qualify the conclusion, the research was done in mice so it's premature to say whether or not human brains operate identically. (Mammalian anatomy between species is often similar, but just as often is found to be d

This is called prompt injection. Modern LLMs have defenses against it but apparently it is still a thing. I don't understand how LLMs work but it blows my mind that they can't reliably distinguish between instructions and data.

Most people should be doing at least some baseline level of both strength training AND cardio. Working around whatever injuries or anatomical issues they have. There's nothing wrong with treadmills.

I feel like that's a good option ONLY if the code you are writing will never be deployed to an environment where security is a concern. Many security bugs in code are notoriously difficult to spot and even frequently slip through revie

The sold listings for "miscut dollar bill" would beg to differ. I am _always_ and _continually_ surprised at what people will pay for things. Literally _nobody_ scaled back their consumption or purchasing during post-COVID inflati

I like simple, but this looks almost _too_ simple. You say you got burned out on metrics, but where you see clutter and distraction, I see data for identifying patterns. I track my measurements and like to see how much weight I'm lifti

I'm sure they are good, but you and I have quite different levels of "very affordable." On Amazon, they seem to average around $10 each depending on size. Contrast with mason jars at a little more than $1 each at my local Men

"Hijack your keys" is somewhat overstating it, all they can do with it is log into other hosts that you can log into, assuming key auth is the only factor. And only while you are connected to the original host. Terminal security b
