<p>Even if FTL <i>is</i> achievable (which I agree, highly unlikely), it's still extraordinarily slow on cosmic scales. The closest star is a little over 4 ly away!<p>And probing the universe <i>outside</i> the Milky Way? Forget about it.</p>

<p>> Researchers have found the first atmosphere surrounding an Earth-like, rocky planet orbiting within the habitable zone of a distant star.<p>Well, if they observed not only a planet orbiting the star but also the planet's atmosphere, it must not be a very "distant" star.</p>

<p>Yeah it raises heart rate and blood pressure bc it dilates your blood vessels. The raised HR/BP are to counter that so you keep pushing the same amount of O2 per unit time.</p>

<p>I don't think child rearing is supposed to be as difficult as modern society makes it.<p>As you pointed out, you don't have a lot of help in raising your kid.  You're expected to do it mostly with your partner (or god forbid alone).<p>They've done some studies of hunter gather tribes to determine who handled babies the most. Turns out the kids' actual parents only handled the kids for about half the time (I think even a little less)! The term for it is "alloparenting".<p>Evolution did not prime us for this level of child care. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>I'm a contractor (AWS and web apps), so I get a lot of sometimes-ambiguous requests.  I have a five-part workflow via Claude/Codex skills: discovery->implementation planning->implementation->verification->review<p>Each phase writes to `./.agents/plans/{plan-name}/` in the project root. All in Markdown. That way, the flow is agent-agnostic.  Each phase artifact is immutable after being written.<p>More details:<p>First, I put all the information that I have (documents, client statements, any code, my own summary, etc.) into a document. Which I pass to the discovery planning skill.<p>The discovery phase more formally defines the project in terms of functional requirements, non-functional requirements, constraints, risks, and assumptions.  This might take a few passes to get everything nailed down.<p>After that, I being a implementation planning phase using the discovery artifact (`discovery.md`). We define the work in terms of phases, where each phases has various tasks associated with it (all checkboxes). Again, usually requires a few passes.<p>After that, I have a clear idea of the work needed and can send an estimate to the client.  Or, if it's a personal project, get started actually building it. I have another phase for actual implementation.<p>Verification and review are similarly defined.  They can be done by any agent.</p>

<p>On the sleep deprivation topic, adenosine buildup in the brain is, along with melatonin, one of the brain's core sleep mechanisms. As you expend energy during the day, adenosine builds up, so your brain has an idea of how long you've been awake.<p>Creatine recycles adenosine back into ATP, so less adenosine builds up. The amount of creatine you find in foods naturally is way less than the amount people are supplementing with.<p>So it makes sense physiologically why mega doses of creatine might negatively affect sleep.</p>

<p>It's like this with a lot of things now.  For example, Nix's learning curve used to be a huge barrier to entry.  Now with LLMs, I'm using nix-darwin and home-manager for dotfiles, package management, and have individual flakes in all of my projects for cryptographically reproducible builds!</p>

<p>The difference is that the voice in the video is a natural, human voice.  It's the robotic sounding voices that always pronounce the same letters the exact same way (mostly the Eloquence family of voices) that enable blind people to listen at superhuman speeds. You can't listen to a real voice that fast.</p>

<p>It takes people <i>years</i> to learn how to write a good patent.  If you gave your lawyer your attempt at writing your own patent, they might use the info to understand what you want (you're right about that), but a good lawyer would probably just start from scratch.<p>Imagine you're a contractor.  You have a client who knows nothing about software development that wants you to write some software for them.  They give you some code they generated with an LLM to get you started. Would you use the code or start over?</p>
