"Is their decision-making ability wholly captured in those tasks while the other person is getting to relax or to plan a project?"

It sounds like they think projects are fun or something. Just one more thing in a long list of other chores and projects that have to get done. Of course a large project is composed of many smaller decisions. This plus the rampant gender stereotyping and bias (no mention of stereotypical men's work) makes me highly suspect of the statements they are making, or at least the way they are making them. Sure, people get burnt out with all the invisible work, but isn't that everyone?

Also, the author is hardcore cherry picking data.

"Excluded from these “core” housework hours were tasks like gardening, home repairs, or washing the car."

That's from the Michigan study. So no shit if you exclude maintenence duties that were stereotypical men's work they do less "work around the house". The whole point of the book they mention (if you cut through its BS and bias) is that there's a total bucket of work, that would should be equally divided, and that it shouldn't just default based on gender but be decided on an individual basis. Seems like a straightforward argument. Perhaps if we stop promoting the emotional and biased presentation of these arguments it would be better recieved. Nobody wants the hear that they've been victimizing their wife based on a generalized stereotype (I'm talking about how the studies are being applied/argued).

> I'm allergic to grasses and dogs, for example, despite growing up in a house with dogs and tons of grass outside.

I believe ramping up exposure dose is an important part of the protocol. You don't immediately jump to the highest dose for many drugs. Exposure to large amounts of allergens regularly just trains your immune system to continue responding as if it's being attacked. The point is to introduce doses that don't trigger a strong reaction so the system learns to ignore it, and then ramp up from there.

In the workplace Slack is basically the application designed for EFT.

Senior engineers deal with EFT a lot in mid/junior and even some seemingly seniors who just absolutely abdicate responsibility for anything that is not interesting.

A common example - asking for help debugging by basically just saying "it doesn't work", requiring you to interrogate them with 10 questions before you get to the what/where/why/when/how of "it" and "doesn't work" to actually begin helping them. Helping them causes you more work than necessary because they can't be bothered to write up a decent 2 sentence explanation up front.

Another example - always doing half (at best) of the task, arguably leaving things in a worse state. In a data engineering context, things like making a change in some mappings in your data loader, but only fixing it on new data, leaving old data in a broken state. So now downstream users of the dataset need to be aware of the old bad mapping, the new good mapping, and either the date of cutover/handle both cases. They saved themselves some work, but caused everyone else more work.

The last class I would mention would be coworkers who are basically "prototype devs". Guys, (its always guys) who are fairly creative and fast moving, delivering interesting IDEAS that they are incapable of productionising. These guys are incredibly dangerous to the team if not managed well, as they get ahead of their skis offering products to management that they can't get past the toy stage. The rest of the team is left to write the other 90% of the code, or usually do a full rewrite. As it turns out the toy always takes 1/10th the time of the real solution, and so they have plenty of time to run off and build more toys.

I'd also describe EFT as leaving you feeling like you've lost agency and control of your day.
Yeah, same here. Worked fine in the past.

Russia’s Luna 25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon
August 20, 2023

"State Corporation Roscosmos

On August 19, in accordance with the flight program of the Luna-25 spacecraft, an impulse was provided to form its pre-landing elliptical orbit.

At about 14:57 Moscow time[UTC+3], communication with the Luna-25 spacecraft was interrupted.

The measures taken on August 19 and 20 to search for the device and get into contact with it did not produce any results.

According to the results of a preliminary analysis, due to the deviation of the actual parameters of the impulse from the calculated ones, the device switched to an off-design orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the lunar surface.

A specially formed interdepartmental commission will deal with the issues of clarifying the reasons for the loss of the Moon."

RIP Firebug. Didn't keep a journal to remember the exact features or reasons but I switched after Firebug went away.

Also performance mostly. My site is slow, running in debug mode is slow, and using dev tools is slow. Combine all 3 and it makes a difference. Prob some little features to that are in different places. Firefox when I need to edit and resend a request though.
For non-fiction, I won't say I routinely do it but if I know the topic area (no real research needed), have a bunch of quotes, have some introductory boilerplate to introduce some topic, some basic facts on e.g. a product announcement, I can crank out 1,000 words of serviceable prose in certainly a couple hours. Probably can't scale to more than about 3,000 words per day--and wouldn't want to do that on a day-in day-out basis--but I have friends who are faster so 10,000 words per day is not totally out of the ballpark.

When I was an analyst, my benchmark was about 2,000 "memo grade" words per day--typically mixed in with some phone calls, etc. More carefully constructed reports etc. took longer especially if research were involved.

There's something not mentioned in the article in either the household or healthcare examples that I kept hoping the author would mention and use to wrap up.

In my head I call it high impedance relationship/work it's jumbled together in my head just like impedance is reactive and resistive. Your circuit can work just fine but a high impedance is more sensitive to external factors (external stress) than a low impedance device. Even just the act of monitoring it with an oscilloscope can affect the signal or voltage.

You fix this, not by driving more power (mental energy, more chores whatever) but by balancing the inputs and outputs (grossly oversimplifying here)

If you want to do work a certain way and your partner or coworker can only accept work that looks like theirs then that's a related but separate problem. You decide your partner is overworked at home so suggest hiring a house cleaner, they protest that it would cost too much and "we can do it ourselves if you would just chip in" or let's get rid of our picture books because we have no room on our bookshelves and our kids are all teenagers but "I want to save them for the grandchildren" or

I'll cook breakfast every morning but "then we have to wake up early and eat at 7:00 a.m. instead of wolfing down something 3 minutes before leaving."

When the other person will only accept work that looks like theirs it's really a mismatch in growth vs fixed mindset. That said, a temporary dedication to matching their work can give them space to see the other solutions and come out of the fixed mindset.

Like all hard problems, a flexible approach is better than hard and fast rules.

It's not that challenging. We have a decent understanding of tregs (regulatory T cells) and their role in allergy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_T_cell

"Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are generated by the bacterial fermentation of dietary fibers, promote expansion of regulatory T cells (Tregs)."

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2017.0103...

Dietary fiber is a variety of oligo and polysaccharides, certain species of bacteria excel at eating certain types, eg bifidobacteria likes inulin. You can get your gut flora sequenced, speculate on what you're deficient in, look it up, and feed them their favorite food.

Yes, but you can lose that gut bacteria by starving them of the food they need, as you would with avoidance.
This post is several years old fwiw.
I see your point but need to say that I find the curation of B & N to be decent, including the "technology" section -- you can find a good mix of beginners and advanced level books, and they are often up-to-date.

And slightly off topic -- libraries (both public libraries and university libraries) can sometimes be exactly opposite of this. Whenever I see people say "find a book from your local public library" I know they never been to one and carefully check out the catalog themselves. New books don't arrive on the shelves until several months or a year later, and libraries rarely get rid of outdated books that teach you to learn Windows 7 or C# 6.0.
> I'm quite keen to use it more in my side projects, I just don't really see the time pay off to invest learning it…

I think using it for side projects is where it shines, especially if you’re talking about coding side projects.

In my N=1 experience with coding, it can save me a ton of time by iteratively providing code and saving me time looking up documentation to find correct functions and syntax. ChatGPT frequently shows me functions that I wasn’t aware existed. It also can give me cleaner and/or more idiomatic code.

So a function or class that may have previously taken me 45 - 60 minutes to build, now takes 5-10 minutes. This is a huge productivity increase. It’s not some magic pill that builds whole applications, but it’s like having an experienced (but not expert) programmer by your side with unlimited patience for your questions. (This also applies to non-programming tasks as well.)

And it hasn’t taken me any time investment in learning it. I just have an iterative conversation with it, including asking it clarifying questions and requesting it to modify the code it provides.

Are you experiencing something different than what I’ve described?
Well that sounds like a major red flag

> It was the countries that put the state first that killed millions of people - the fascists in Germany and Italy, the communists in Russia and China, and so on. Who stood up to them?

This is a rather bizarre, ahistorical interpretation, because the communist Soviet Union fought against Germany in WW2 and indeed was an ally of the US. Likewise with communist China against Japan in WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-American_Cooperative_Orga...

In any case, I didn't intend to defend the whole of Hobbes's Leviathan. But I don't think there's any reason to believe that anarchy ("the state of nature") is any better. And remember that Leviathan was written during the English Civil War.

It continues because FGM is too broadly defined. It's never clear whether they're talking about cutting off the clitoral hood, the clitoris itself or the entire vulva.

Only the former is anything like male circumcision; the latter two are the equivalent of severing the glans, and removing the scrotal sac (while preserving the testes), respectively.

There are no upsides to the latter two FGM practices, but having an intact/thick hood can interfere with orgasm for some women (basically female phimosis; the affected tend to need a vibrator to get off). I've heard topical testosterone is a possible nonsurgical solution, but hormone roulette presents its own interesting problems.

It's very much a personal decision though and the amount of effort we expend on forcibly tampering with the genitals of others (especially children) never ceases to astound me either.

Modern life seems so paradoxically familiar that it obfuscates the environment we evolved 300.000 years ago.

So, for starters: 1000 new chemicals [0] are synthesized each hour (!) with little to no environmental oversight over them.

Our microbiome (protists, bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses) seems to be a good proxy of how far we have strayed from the richness of our biochemical "informational flow" present 99.9...% of our time (evolutionary history).

In H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (1898) the Martians are killed off by earthly pathogens or simply incompatibility.
As noted in the article with H. pylori; "pathogens" are more often than not the result of an disturbed equilibrium, the modern world we indulge in is increasingly making us incompatible with earth's biochemical interface. By then trying to single out disease vectors the overall context gets completely lost. By emphasizing the biological role some perspective can be gained:

"Viruses" are powerful accelerators [1][2] for an otherwise slow mutation rate.

"Parasites" are relatively new connections which over time resolve themselves to a symbiotic relationships [3].

Even the much dreaded "parasitic worms" (helminths) have a great potential for immunotherapy [4].

In a sense this disconnect slowly began with agriculture/pastoralism in an effort to maximize the yield the environment turned hostile on us and so conceptually we introduced "pests" and declared war.

A successful model: we are now extracting resources on a globalized industrial scale. Our powerful tools have changed the landscape yet we are basically operating under the same scarcity mindset of an farmer 10.000 years ago: We earn our bread to support our family and make our sacrifices (pay taxes/tributes) to shield us from the wrath (anarchy/forces of nature) of the gods.

And indeed our human bandwidth to the biosphere becomes increasingly smaller while we hope - in that imagined scramble inherited from our ancestors - for an unlimited bandwith (e.g. to the spiritual world of eternal silicon) to free us from the tyranny and bondage of biological systems.

We created the "bomb" and now humans have the "bomb".

We knew before how humans are and we still create tools that cause great damage if maliciously used.
Societies across the world need to start focusing on Eternal Automation. The goal is for everyone to benefit from collective advances. So what if someone doesn't want to work and has 10 kids; if even half of those kids end up working to contribute to the worldwide implementation of systematized structures which free us from corporate control; though that struggle will be very real, then it's worth paying people not to work and instead incentivizing those who do with advanced access to new structural creations.

There is no reason to continue as we have. What gets you to where you're going isn't generally needed once you get there. We don't hike to the park only to hike up the mountain; we drive, then hike, then picnic or have sex (generally both). We must not let corporations or the greedy define what work and prosperity means.
