I think they will soon be re-writing this article with the addition of "and rise again". I work in neurotech/sleeptech and one of the biggest challenges I see in our industry is, if not pure snake-oil, the over-hype of "

This completely misses a few large points. 1) Though they are comparing parents specifically, without the baseline of what the hunter-gatherer groups sleep was like without children, are they comparing hunter-gatherer group to industrialize

I used to work in WebRTC back in it's earlier days and our team developed the open-source rtc.io. ( https://github.com/rtc-io ) I never would have imagined that OpenAI is sending the full audio of a request to their serv

The best UI is no UI at all. I can't think of a single time I've looked at a product tour and thought "well, I'm really glad they told me that, I never would have figured that out. What the product tour I think often mis

Slowly, then all at once. Computers were nowhere for ever, then everyone had them. The internet was tiny, then everywhere. Smartphones were a teensy market, then everyone had them. GLP1s were for a small group of diabetics, now a significa

Interesting comment they have towards the end about "targeted memory reactivation can disrupt sleep". It is important to note the study they are referring to is "targeted memory reactivation with sleep disruption", there

I used to do this regularly when I first started coding, I called them "Codemares". They were like nightmares with the shouting of commands I didn't quite understand would invade my dreams.

According to google, this would be almost 30% of total US energy production (135gw-150gw) and nearly 5% of total US energy consumption. But what is the "breakthrough" if there is one? The article doesn't really suggest any br

55% Palantir revenue comes from government contracts and 50% from the US govenment. With this "are we the bad guys" perspective, I wonder how much of the "evil" they are apparently doing is a result of the current view a

My co-founder and I were both software engineers who got into hardware almost 6 years ago. We had both played with a bit of arduino or hobbyist stuff in the past, but dove right into EEG and neurostimulation. Hardware is hard like software

I think what many people don't realize is that the target of this propaganda isn't the Iranian people, but American's and the west. This isn't difficult to do with someone like Trump in power. They aren't shouting &

I think this is a fairly limited view of design, that's commonality in branding and somewhat layout. Real design would be changing how beds, showers, toilets, keys, etc etc work. Yes there is familiarity in the truly banal, but progres

Not as funny as the original, but available everywhere, instead of just HBO.

I haven't had a chance to read the entire article, but I can already tell that much of how the author viewed sleep in 2012 is not inline with current understandings in sleep science, though much of the wearable and sleep industry still

The thing you might not be realizing is that sleep directly impacts your metabolic health. Yes, focus on diet, but sleep also drives diet desires. It's a vicious cycle. Your comment about "not enough REM" sleep shows how litt

I agree with your comment regarding fairer distribution, but I think when we look at globalisation's impact on war, I'm not sure this is really playing out. Iran has not benefitted hugely from globalisation (unless I'm missin

The system changed from the doctor deciding what drugs you should take to the patient asking for the drug by name from the doctor. I think this enabled telemedicine to work in the way it does not. The patient says "I want wegovy"

The "perscription system" used to be that you'd have to go see a doctor, the doctor knew who you were, and would make decisions on what prescriptions/medications you should be given. Due to drug advertising rules, the pr

The intricate and what looks like soft handling of closing the boxes, using the 2nd finger gently, as well as turning the washer to fit in the slot stood out to me. Though I was curious about fitting the belt into the square slot. Did it ha

I actually just responded with almost the exact opposite, but maybe I'm the "lipid hypothesis skeptic". Seeing as the threat is calcium build-up in the arteries, and because cholesterol is a vital component of health, I belie

There is push back on the high LDL leads to cacium build-up in arteries (being specific instead of just "longevity"). The challenge is that some people, like myself, have outrageously high LDL, yet no calcium build-up in arteries

I'm with the sceptics, but also they don't show it in use. But from the product screenshot of the person hitting the button, it seems not to be wearable, so.....when would I use this? When I'm in a room that has a smart-speak

That's fair, so is the outrage focused on Microsoft because they are a "more" open system without the app store being the default method of installing apps? I guess I'm wondering why Apple and Google don't get the s

I think the thin-client/flat-client is a pendulum that swings every few years. Main-frame (thin) -> PC (fat) -> Internet/Cloud (thin) -> Mobile (fat) -> AI (thin) I expect this to continue until the next technology t
