But then why is there an instinctive response to intervene?

Although I think the instinctive reason is similarly obvious - for a creature with limited attention the safest environment is a calm one with nothing moving or acting (it is easy to process mentally). It makes a lot of sense for a large creature to intervene and break up other animals fighting so they can go back to scanning the environment for other threats without distraction.
Every bully I knew anything about their home situation the fundamental problem was parents that supported the bullying. They would punish their children for wrongdoing they observed but they categorically would not believe any wrongdoing reported by others.

A prime example, the kids next door when I was growing up. They were younger than I was and never would try anything alone but two-on-one they would sometimes. (Usually when a third troublemaker was on the scene.) One time I was defending myself against an attack with a belt, I disarmed him and threw the belt into the vines growing on our house--high enough up that it would require a ladder to reach. When the belt was recovered the buckle was missing--they called the cops saying I must have stolen it. Just from talking to them the cop figured out I was acting in self defense, I had no possible way of having stolen the buckle (the instant I had control of the belt I threw it), the buckle must have come off when I threw it, bad luck for them. If the cop could figure that out so could their parents--yet they still felt I had stolen it since it couldn't be found. (Turns out there must have been a crack-the-whip effect, the buckle came off and flew completely over our house. We found it in a flower pot on the other side of the house two years later.)

The complaint is that the claims are not credible given what we know of the app's capabilities. How could an app that highlights areas of heavy police activity be used to single out and attack lone officers without backup? If his claims were plausible, it might be different, but extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

So daylight saving kills an extra 4% people by heart attacks. Light Yagami approves.

I wonder whether it's because of the sleep itself, or because when people don't sleep enough they tend to take stimulants that increase heart attack risks.

Many universities have "cogeneration" plants that produce electricity, steam for heating, and also hot water. However, they usually don't generate enough electricity to power the whole campus, so the administration chooses who gets it and who doesn't. If these sorts of outages are going to become more common, then the management is going to have to re-evaluate the cost of providing backup power for all labs vs the cost of lost research.

This is probably the reality now. Unless we're going to make the investments to actually maintain and upgrade the grid and infrastructure, preparedness and whatever amount of self-sufficiency that can be achieved is going to be necessary. It is a horrible cliche, but failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Possibly this is a case of California climate biting them. A lot of the big research universities in the Northeast have steam plants, originally for heat, but often with cogen facilities as well. Usually not much, a meg or two, but it is something.

The university of California at Berkeley has ample cogeneration capacity but they are tied to PG&E grid and so PG&E can still turn them off.
It's fascinating how these PG&E threads are full of recriminations, but not solutions. The power went out for 2.6 million people (on 800k accounts). No natural disaster or unanticipated software bug caused this problem. The situation is purely a human coordination failure. The state is doing nothing except issuing sternly worded statements when it could be changing policy. This odd mood of angry, passive resignation is disturbing.

This whole situation represents a loss of "social technology". Just as material technology is a bag of techniques for organizing matter into useful configurations, social technology is a bag of techniques for organizing people for a useful purpose. When a society loses a technology, be it material or social, it loses a capability. It becomes unable to do what used to come easily to it. For 120 years, California was able to keep the lights on. Now it can't. How is anyone supposed to not see this situation as a kind of foreboding regression?

This new power grid unreliability is far from the only example of our struggling to do something that came easily to us 20, 30, or 40 years ago. We've definitely lost something, although it's hard to pin down exactly what.

Sleep is required for proper function of the glymphatic system.[0] Insufficient sleep results in inadequate clearance of metabolic waste products from your brain via this pathway. Accumulation of said byproducts results neurological damage.

In other words, get good sleep or you're literally inflicting brain damage upon yourself. Impaired glymphatic function is linked to all manner of horrible neurodegenerative conditions.[1][2]

Do we still allow medical staff and ER doctors to work 20 hour days?
EDIT: I screwed this all up and it's wrong. I tried. I'm sorry. Leaving it up so someone else can give it a go. And there's already a bunch of comments.

Washington University uses about 376,394 kWh/year. [1] That's about 7,841.54 kWh/week. Washington pays about 13.1 cents per kWh for power [2]. Running on the electric grid alone this would cost $598.59 per week. This isn't what they pay though, because they offset much of this usage with renewable energy like solar panels.

That would take a 50kw generator to power. Assuming they don't power all systems during a blackout they could probably get away with a 25kw generator. For argument, let's assume a 50kw generator full load would probably use about 4.0 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. [3]

At $3.64/gallon for diesel [4], at 4.0gallons/day, for one week the university's fuel cost would be $2,446.08.

To recap, the university would spend $2,446.08 to generate electricity they could purchase for $598.59 from the electric company during a 7 day blackout at full capacity.

It’s not because of the lawsuit. Their grid really is dangerously under-maintained and prone to bursting into flames. Turning it off is the rational short-term move.
This is very much a personal thing and the article is only showing one end of the spectrum. While I have issues staying up past 48 hours and my longest ever stint was 56 or so, I can go for 36 hours easily without any real dramatic adverse effects. I certainly don't feel drunk and am quite capable of performing complicated work even after 24 hours of being awake.

As long as the sun is up my body generally wants to be awake and when going for long periods of uptime I only have an issue with tiredness between 2am and 4am. After 4am I can convince myself that the sun will be up soon and once I can actually see the sky brighten I become energized rapidly.

The one time I did go past 48 hours I never hallucinated but simply felt like a zombie. My mind basically shut off and I felt very detached and remote to my own consciousness. The odd thing is that when I finally got into bed it still took me something like 2 hours to finally fall asleep because I felt too tired to actually fall asleep.

Anyway, that's my experience. When I read through the article I kept thinking it was missing the mark for me completely.
I can fall asleep quickly, but I would also fit into the definition of chronically sleep deprived. (4 1/2 or 6 hours each night, sometimes only 3 hours) I never use an alarm and rely on daylight to wake up.

You could try all those meditative techniques to get your brain to stop thinking actively about things but what I would suggest if you've tried everything else is - work out your sleep cycle and time going to bed to sleep some multiple of that.

For me it's 90min, so if I need to get up at 6:00am, I strictly get to bed by 11:55pm, 1:25am, etc allowing myself 5 min to fall asleep. Seems to work for me.
It’s really difficult to beat diesel for many reasons, sure solar + batteries is with enough for though. But what if you need to augment beacause some were damaged in a weather event, IR dropped us a secondary genset next day after a tornado (mind you precontracted). Other fuel options exist but you can’t rely on piped natural gas in a highly active seismic zone (as they shut off entire areas after an earthquake to limit leaks). Diesel is stable for long periods, if it’s inundated with washer can be mechanically separated, then you add on the safety aspect of it being less ‘energetic’ than gasoline.

Not saying there aren’t other options, just the one most businesses have opted for, and has the best ‘vendor’ support (plenty of fuel companies to deliver, rental agencies to arrange the delivery, and companies that Veratis that setup the building side needs)

Paul Graham, creator of Hacker News and a founder of Y Combinator, wrote a classic essay on the topic of why nerds are unpopular. So much of his writing rings true, especially the part: I've read a lot of history, and I have not seen a single reference to this supposedly universal fact [of teenage misery] before the twentieth century. Teenage apprentices in the Renaissance seem to have been cheerful and eager. He has a very plausible explanation of how we created this misery, including a culture of school bullying.

>I've heard of people having drug-induced hallucinations after days without sleep, but the article states that hallucinations seem to be common after only 48 hours, which surprised me.

I think the usual hallucinations aren't as complex as the example. More simple shapes, colors, or sounds that aren't actually there. You may have experienced them and not been bothered enough to even remember it.
Cue some deep learning over this centralized dataset... we might just see 'profiles' emerge that allow the system to build very ad hoc results depending on who searches what.

E.g. one of the strengths of Google (which I've used for a decade without ever deleting history) is to give me very hands-on blogs and procedures whenever I search for some tech — I don't even have to add "guide" or "tutorial" or "hands-on" or "how to", whenever I use my dev account Google just knows what I'm after — “this guy MAKES, he don't care for fluff”. I've compared searches with friends (non-tech non-nerds), they get the usual wiki / reddit / commercial stuff, with my meaty top 10 stuff often on page 2-3-4 (if even that!) for them.

This is the kind of smarts I don't know how to replicate without ML. This is also where Spotify who has had years to figure it out remains extremely generic (frankly bad at deep cuts, which at a basic level used to be one of their initial strengths).

I think you're underestimating the number of memory redirections that are necessary for chaining. It's more than one. That's the killer.

It's important to be wary of assuming your data will be in cache. It usually isn't. The problem isn't making lots of high density searches in a hash map, the problem is making a search every now and then. A hash map that makes three DRAM accesses will always be worse that one that makes one, regardless of how much work it needs to do, and this is for two reasons. First is there obvious: RAM is slow as balls, we get it. Second is more insidious. You just evicted two cache lines. It's not just the lookup itself that's slower, you also made the consumer of your data structure slower.

>>Can I play devil's advocate for just a moment?

Makes me sad we have lost soo much respect for liberty that people feel compelled to play "devil's advocate" in favor of a totalitarian regime.

I think it is clear that any "evidence" that has come from " Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau" should be rejected out right and not trusted at all

Further the fact that the app may have broken "local laws" should also have no impact at all on the discussion, we are talking about a Totalitarian regime with countless Human Rights violations, their local laws are objectively at odds with what anyone should consider just or proper

So it comes down "Does this app violate Apple Policies", given that apple like most companies write the rules so at any time anything can be a violation at their sole discretion then technically yes, but so could any app at any time.

At the end of the day allow me to Translate Apple's Statement SouthPark Style
