Our expectation of pain actually affects experienced chronic pain. Because it isn't strictly bodily damage that is responsible for "feeling" pain, it is also how our brain processes that sensory information. This is how acute

Just got off daily naproxen (aleve) after ~6-7 years. Sanctioned by my doctor but was an important milestone stop taking it all the time. I dont know where it lays on the spectrum of safety amongst other NSAIDs but I sure am glad to not nee

Would be cool to see a tracker displaying the status of deployed systems and instruments.

It took me until the following passage to realize this: > As my regular readers will by now, I think that a massive deficiency in religious literacy is causing confusion. We have an inability to make sense of new developments like Bitcoi

Right, exactly - mutually assured destruction of orbital usage because of everyone retaining the option.

"Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Einstein "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Da Vinci I had been exploring this idea in my codegolfing. For example: https://www.dwitter.net

Yep, smart bulbs from most manufacturers need 2.4GHz. Had to go back to owning my own router (thankfully) after a brief stint with the standard Spectrum one.

"Insects are the largest group within the arthropod phylum" [0] So if colloquially any arthropod is a bug (which seems wrong to me) then any insect is a bug. To that end I can certainly agree that the word "bug" is a bro

Only in America, and it rubs me wrong each time. Regardless of my feelings on local dialect, this is the title of an article on scientific advancement. They shouldn't be taxonomically vague. It's misleading at best, clickbait at w

I had meant I switched when the news of the new access to data request started last year.

I can't avoid pointing out the glaring miscategorization of microbiota as insects in the title.

Yeah, burned it in lieu of Signal immediately. Was shocked how many bright well-read people I know didn't care enough to switch after I presented them with the news.

High quality without a doubt. His chess AI tournament is also a thorough nerd snipe.

I like the accelerometer idea. Hardware would be more dependable than a sequence of events that requires being able to speak and the mic to be working.

In theory, I agree. But it is somewhat akin to saying - why use strong encryption since a three letter agency can just brute force your device. If you're in that deep, maybe it won't help. But for the average reporter in a hostile

Lots of pandemic downtime gave hackers and script kiddies more idle time to sharpen their tools and tricks, and more businesses going online gives a greater target vector (even though we only hear about the big ones getting hacked)

"I don’t want to be human! I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize c

The new generations would be (and are!) quicker to adapt to and create new norms. It used to be that just a few generations ago the middle and elder generations were the carriers of experience and wisdom vital to thriving in the world. This

Looks like at 3000rpm, the 50 round mag will impact the target within human reaction time, in a spread similar to a shotgun's.

I don't. Would having faces hidden increase privacy, or would more well hidden radio transmitters/receivers decrease it?

If this is what we did to other Homo sapiens, I have no doubts about the majority stakeholder* in the destruction of our related hominin populations.

The next logical step would be to create 3d models with interferometry triangulation. My question is: are these developments better or worse for physical space privacy vs optical/infrared recognition?

Sure there were self-learners that expanded their trade to supply others for coin. However blacksmithing was certainly a skilled artisan / tradesperson role from antiquity to medieval times that operated on an apprenticeship scheme. On
