First, we looked at circadian control: Even without external light cues, the spiders kept their own activity rhythm. This free-running rhythm shows that their sleep-wake cycle is controlled by an internal circadian clock. 🧵3/9

Earlier work revealed REM-like activity in another jumping spider species, including twitching, leg curling, and even retinal movements. But one question remained: were the spiders truly asleep? 🧵2/9

🕷️💤 New paper in time for 🎃! Do #spiders really sleep? In our new study on #Portia fimbriata we tested all behavioural criteria of #sleep and found evidence for regulated, two-stage sleep with recurring REM-like stages. Out in @pnas.org! @roesslerdaniela.bsky.social 📄 tinyurl.com/3fky8ze7 🧵1/9

Insane WFH perks

The sleepiest boo, featuring home-woven blanket thingy

It genuinely does suck and is *bad* that it feels like there’s almost nowhere to go for people who 1. Want to work on robotics (like drones) and 2. Don’t want to build weapons.

perfect, no notes

Yes.

someone do the jeopardy joke like slut gnomes of false berlin but for waluigi genders of the material plane

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

“Unlike many people her age, Violet does not use social media — that is, unless you count @inaturalist.bsky.social, the citizen-science app where she identifies moths with the help of other lepidopterists. For her, the study of moths is not about influence or clout.”

if you have a decent test suite, you should spin your CPUs at 100% and run it again. you will find so many bugs, it's absurd

society if rust had used the terms shared and exclusive from the beginning

And this is the corrollary. People are different, bc of cultural background, neurodivergence, whatever, and you gotta try and look past the surface expression for the intent behind it, and trust that people offline in normal social settings usually aren't just randomly dicks, before you judge.

Neurotypical social norms are not actually mostly arbitrary bullshit! The specific mechanics can be silly for the same reason the vagus nerve is silly, evolution over time, but they're mostly active "I am mindful that you are another person with feelings and I am not treading on them" signalling.

hell yeah

if I were attempting to run an autocracy I think I would probably not actively seek to set up situations where my military can tell me to go pound sand

@elfprince13.mumak.app you know what we gotta do

Boo

this is the saddest kitty ive ever seen

extraordinary

Play to your outs. Works in games, works surprisingly well irl. magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...

Being high agency is never enough to guarantee you will get what you want. But it will put you at a substantial advantage compared to most. Be persistent, put yourself out there even when it's hard, shoot your shots, take as much control over your destiny that you can.

Primer but they're all Nathan Fielder

this is a video about the University of Waterloo and its extremely good computer science program if you guys send enough hits to it we can poach @kylierobison.com back to bsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw2f...

Accurate. Butcher is hella sexist and a mid writer but that doesn't make his books not extremely fun reads.

God yes. The number of people who seem to confuse LotR for the Belgariad when criticizing it. Tolkien has many flaws as an author, but LotR is not remotely a by the numbers example of the genre it spawned except on the very very, very surface.

I work in AI safety and am concerned about how some parts of the professional ecosystem address sexual harassment & sexism. I am now looking to collect reports of sexual harassment or sexism within AI safety. Details in thread:

if you're upbeat and center the liberatory angle of it, i think all the console jailbreaks and emulator progress of the last few months is a great sales pitch for AI skeptics who are gamers and not ultra-anti-pilled already.
