tontonius | 3 years ago | on: The state finally letting teens sleep in

I recommend reading Matthew Walker’s “Why we sleep”. Needles to say, as a sleep researcher, he’s a big proponent of schools starting later for kids and youth in the formative years. Especially to make room for the “late morning REM” sleep that appears to be very important for young humans with developing brains.

Nice little game! Took me a few minutes to figure it out (I think having played with Rubiks cube helped somewhat)

I hereby coin the term "pseudo déjà vu" – when something feels like a déjà vu but its actually for real.

Maybe its part of the research methodology but I can't help but feel they cut the "art" a bit short here.

What if the generated art was more something like this?

At first I thought this was a well written review. Then I got an eerie feeling that it was one of those GPT-3 gotchas.. now I’m just not sure of anything anymore

It's okay to hate the game, without hating the player.

tontonius | 6 years ago | on: Sweden's 100 explosions this year: what's going on?

How come organized criminals use bombs in Sweden but rarely anywhere else? IMO bombs are more like the M.O of terrorists. If a gang wanted to scare or take out a rival, there must be more efficient ways. A bomb not only draws unwanted attention from the public and authorities, you also run the risk of hurting the wrong people.

(Edit: Am a Swede, and live nearby the Linköping bomb site that hurt 25 this June..)
