I'm fascinated by inter-personal differences in sleep patterns. Could you dive more deeply into what you learned about your sleep habits? For example: 1. How did you defined it - horizontal/unconscious/etc 2. Whether there ar

To give a sense of scale, how much would it cost to get you to do it? I'd love to help fund it, but definitely don't make fully 2x "Support a family", so it would be intersting to know how many people I'd need to ro

Another "first step" place to practice social skills is in the Open Source Software community. It sounds like you (OP) are familiar with the technical part of coding broadly defined, so it's an opportunity to be 80% in your c

The best world is one in which everyone had is willing to unpack their positions, the second best is one where those of us who can are able to build a bridge, at least in polite conversation, to those who can't/won't

Another consideration is whether the OP should change their context, even radically. For example, I found it way easier to make friends in the suburbs until I had a kid. If I didn't plan on having a kid, I shouldn't have moved to

Totally agree on the importance of feedback - another idea (a little expensive, but I'm assuming the OP has resources) is a coach/therapist/etc. Doesn't even need to be social-skills-focused. Anyone in that work obviousl

As someone with a passable grasp of both (using ML professionally, and having a wife+friends), here are some 5am thoughts: 1. They're not along a single scalar of difficulty, so I imagine you mean "Why can't I (and some sub

As someone who fills a similar role on my team, I've learned to be careful about my tone and to pick my battles (and I'm still far from perfect). Of course, bottling up the frustration of knowing about the oncoming train wreck is

I'd recommend continuing to play with it - I use sunlight lamps and there are definitely levels that work for me without wrecking my night vision for the rest of the house. Of course, you can also brighten the rest of the house, even d

Pretentiousness seems, at worst, annoying. At best, I'm thrilled that there are people who 'overthink' things. Every technology that I use is the result of someone who took something 'too seriously', especially the

I, for one, find it inspiring that Abishek_Muthian takes this seriously enough to think hard about the name, rather than going with something bland. Just the length conveys the depth of his though, and now we get to know exactly what he mea

I was enthusiastic, but for medium complexity questions I spend more time footing with syntax then it would take to do it myself. I probably use it for a high complexity question once every few months. I’m happy that it exists, on balance

Having just bought a robot vacuum cleaner, my understanding is that the more recent versions abandoned the “random by design“ approach in favor of mapping the room a little bit. I assume sensors got good enough in the last few years to allo

The article itself is pretty mediocre, but it touches on some interesting stuff (before continuing to slippy-slide between various unstated definitions of what 'energy' means). It doesn't have a conclusion, so I'll add o

If I am understanding your argument correctly, certainly agree that e.g. "some people are more genetically inclined to drink". But I think It’s valuable to draw some boundaries between what we can and cannot control, even with gen

That is an excellent list of lifestyle factors, but suggesting that genetics impacts 10% or less of biological outcome is pretty bold. Put another way: everything is nature, nurture and “random”. It’s rare to find an outcome where one of th

I'm so curious about your daily routine. When do you wake, work, work2, chores and sleep? What is your agreement with your partner? How old are your kids and what do you find that they ask for you specifically for?
