Surprisingly enough studies have never been able to reliably correlate phone or screen usage to declines in cognitive ability of well-being. Some weak effects appear and disappear in different studies but you'd think if the effect is t

I've read about long COVID and the hallmarks but it seems like Dianna is experiencing something far worse than average. Chronic fatigue is one thing but unable to stand for two years is horrendous. Are there any other recorded cases th

It's also pretty clear in the article that the newly appointed head of the CIA is very politically motivated to endorse this conclusion.

It's the double-edged sword of both free plans and "transparent pricing". If you just click "buy" and enter your CC info you're subject to their somewhat arbitrary terms of service. Service is cheap and reliabl

I don't do research, I'm saying there isn't any academic research to back it up. And some decent research saying it doesn't have much effect at all. And it's such a hot topic and subject to so much research, and the

My kids aren't interested but as far as I can tell it doesn't have a huge impact on kids. And I don't believe there's any convincing research to support it's dangers. I tell my kids to not believe everything they se

It's the same way products like salesforce become popular. Network effects. As much it's an architectural nightmare, it is a thing that everyone is familiar with. When you are looking at ecommerce tools, email marketing, analytics

I once flew from NY to Alberta for a key meeting where the stakeholders didn't come in to their own office and we did the whole thing over the phone. I once spent two days at a different client's office while they were WFH.

Commercial real estate bottomed already. The market isn't going to collapse. Besides they obviously didn't make any similar hedges when it was residential real estate in 2007. Nor does it make sense for them to spend hundreds of m

The same geniuses who said putting back offices in Asia and working async across massive time differences would be a boon now say you have to sit next to somebody to be productive.

That really doesn't seem plausible. Why would JPM bother propping up commercial real estate? I think the answer is much simpler. Jamie Dimon is very opinionated and conservative and wants people back in the office because thinks they&#

That's funny I usually think the opposite. I derive no satisfaction from writing software for dubious ends. Understanding product value and/or helping to determine priorities makes things feel more tangible. Maybe better to say th

Intractable sleep conditions exist. I have narcolepsy which is incurable. I'm on sodium oxybate which is basically just GHB. It's a "scary" drug to be taking every night, but it's very effective and usually very saf

Like what? Claude has become my go-to, but I find that it's wrong enough often enough that I really can't trust it for anything. If it says something I have to go dig through it's citations very carefully.

It's nothing. This study is narrow and shows no changes in cognitive capability, only sleep. A huge longitudinal study has shown screen time has minimal effect on cognitive ability or behavior of kids: https://www.oii.ox.ac.

I genuinely don't think this will ever be useful. UIs based on voice and gesture are not precise enough Even if they capture words accurately, it's just not as expressive or precise as tap or click. Most people don't want to
