Since they're not regulated as medication, melatonin pills have no guarantees about actual melatonin content. In studies, the vast majority of supplement labels are inaccurate.

I use rssi to find my stuff regularly. There are a ton of android apps to do it. I also use it for room presence detection with homeassistant (using the BLE in my ESP32s and Shelly switches).

+1 in general that anthropic bias is strong, but it cuts both ways, even in relatively hard nosed statistical models (@see Drake equation vs Rare Earth hypothesis). Truth is, there are a ton of factors we just can't observe (yet?) that

They were arguably the most repressive secret police regime in the world. They disappeared people and their families, and used torture, intimidation, and the biggest network of informants ever assembled (in some cities almost 20% of the pop

This person is just making stuff up that feels true to them. Caveat lector. There are reams of grown up scientific research and philosophy on the relationship between language, thought, neurobiology, and inference. It's nice to hear ho

I do this too, and i find this a great use for my LLMs. I write the full detail as a part of integrating. Claude or Copilot helps me craft the communication versions.

Depends on what you're using it for I suppose. A common tactic with Openclaw itself is to have a cheap or local model as the default, with rules to "escalate" to other models based on task complexity/type. But if every c

I wonder if this is connected to Azure launching OpenShift Virtualization on "Boost" SKUs? There are a lot of VMWare customers going to OpenShift Virt, and apparently the CPU/memory overhead on Azure maxes out around 10% unde

Why do you choose the CD era as your comparison point? Why not cassettes, or the LP decades? The industry has changed a lot and choosing a different baseline is illuminating to any discussion of "fair" compensation. What hasn&#x27

Not sure if you noticed that your sources disagree with your thesis, with the limited exception that theres no convincing evidence that seratonin is the single causal factor for depression, which myth was heavily promoted by the relevant p

That's a hell of a journey! Congratulations on the accomplishment and thank you for sharing. Like many other biological systems, neurological wiring is multidimensional and not a natural fit into our arbitrary culturally defined abstra

Love it. Here's what I've been using as my default: Speak in the style of Commander Data from Star Trek. Ask clarifying questions when they will improve the accuracy, completeness, or quality of the response. Offer opi

Particularly interesting is that when they split the dataset by sex, the transitions were present and at a similar magnitude in both sexes. We make much in western culture of the (peri-)menopausal change in women. I read this as an indicato

I just want to say: I've been publicly calling them "bullshit machines" since the first big media wave. I am incredibly pleased that this mental model helps other people, too. And that the specific term sees broader use is al

I've been very pleased with my own results by disconnecting from social media and anything with a short (eg 24 hours) news cycle. Weeklies (eg the economist) are still generally worth reading and filter to more important topics. On (ge

Rednote is a fascinating experiment in T and C blindness. Just how far can you go in the terms? Put them in Mandarin worldwide? Apparently OK. Include a commitment to uphold the "12 core socialist values" of the Chinese government

They're talking about the division between Gymnasium, Realschule, and Hauptschule. It's actually state to state nowadays whether they have separate schools or Gesamtschulen, but I understand even in Gesamtschulen, in many Bundeslä

If you have a specific vision, you will have to express the detailed information of that vision into the digital realm somehow. You can use (more) direct tools like premiere if you are fluent enough in their "language". Or you can

Ask any historian of science: technology only briefly disrupts, and then reifies existing power structures. A few new people make it into the controlling class, but ultimately tech on its own cannot subvert the power structure in any durabl

Living in a country where the civil servants decide the vast majority of art support (Germany), it's not great. It's just an incentive to please grant readers, rather than an audience. It's just as banal. The difference is th

At a minimum you need backup, regular restore tests, and alerts when backups stop or restore tests fail. Personally I automate restore testing with cron. I have a script that picks two random files from the filesystem: an old one (which sho

I've been on the "modern standby" hate train for as long as it's existed. Not because it's such a terrible idea per se. You can debate that if you like. I hate it because it fundamentally changes the behavior behind
