    I experience the complete opposite. If I wake up with sunlight I'm useless until noon. If I allow myself to sleep in the dark until when I feel it naturally, I will wake up at ~9AM…

    For having lived in both continents, American is generally an early morning culture and Europe is generally an evening culture. There are local differences within the continents of…

    I have kids. I have an amazing partner, but can also rally the days I need to get them to school myself. But even when I need to wake up abnormally early (kids should never wake up…

    Yes Germany is famous for starting too early, it is an outlier. The 5 countries around where I grew up have starting times between 8:30AM and 9AM. Overall Europe is simply nor as m…

    The thing is that we all have different natural thresholds. This paper was eye-opening to me: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36799668/ Essentially some people will naturally delay…

    School starts way too early. That's something we need to change. I grew up in Europe and school started at 9AM. Which allowed for an 8AM wake up. Unlike here where my kids need to …

    As a night owl who tried to fight it for too long my advice is don't change your natural circadian rythm. For some reason hustle influencer culture made us believe we should wake u…

    Why is it worth it? Why are you fighting against your natural circadian rhythm? We still all got 24 hours right? My background is that as the poster above, I have always been a nig…

    That's exactly why I used to love tech (and working in tech) 20 years ago and why I lost faith in tech completely. We went from a bunch of open protocols and decentralized web to a…

    It's actually shocking they didn't do this before? Load balancing across multiple similar paths seems to be one of the first thing you would add once you hit some scale? I love how…

    That's actually exactly how I feel about Anthropic. They play such a PR game, trying really really hard to be seen as the good guys. It feels as another satirical episode of Silico…

    This article is very long with almost no content. Except "spending more tokens is good". Obviously the author got something to sell us.

    How many non-tech people knew about Anthropic before? How many know about Anthropic since this episode? Still don't see it? Still don't see how the huge IPO coming up soon could pr…

    I came to the same conclusion. Specifically Anthropic's whole PR has all been about danger, safety, doomerism all to make themselves indirectly more important and central to the de…
