   They used the N-back task, a standard task used for inducing mental effort (e.g. [1]). So in this case they have N=1 for the easy group and N=3 for the hard group. Then they compared glutamate concentration across groups. I'm don'

   I switched to Apple Maps as part of an attempt to de-googlify my life. It's pretty good 95% of the time. That 5% inconvenience is worth it, to me. However, after seeing the OSM mentions in the comments, I'm inclined to check that

   The primary alternative at the time was CDs. MiniDiscs were like cool CDs that wouldn't scratch if you threw them on the desk or in the glove compartment. Also the aesthetics of the players were great... Too bad the accompanying softwa

   To extend this a bit, I'd love an RTS where I can create macros or programs and assign them to units. I'd love to watch them play out, then tweak or reassign macros to units in real time. I keep wishing Planetary Annihilation ha

    We've inherited this rationalist idea that people form opinions as the result of careful consideration and weighing of evidence. This is mostly false. Evidence suggests that people form ideas from (1) group-membership and (2) repetitio

    I'm not a medical doctor, but I wonder if this can be explained as liability-avoiding behavior. If a doctor follows a "best practice", it's more defensible in court than trying something new or uncommon.

    Very true, though people were also unvaccinated so it's difficult to disentangle. Do you know what the case fatality rate is for unvaccinated folks with delta & omicron? I looked but was unable to find a good source.

    The current spike in cases could be seen as a control scenario for what would have happened without lockdowns (remember "flatten the curve"?). For the Alpha variant, the case-fatality rate for the original variant was about 1%. I
