Tech is not very democratic and egofree in its collab and neither is medicine, in my experience. and this has been a literal breath of fresh air. i hope i dont fuck this up by bringing my baggage along.

do they see this because you're doing this out loud or from expressions on your face? so, in this visual reshearsal, are other people participating or listening? are you thinking of what they might say?

2026-05-23 13:55:32 UTC

do you visually rehearse stuff? like seeing your self standing in the board room, making a presentation etc.? or does it happen as a monolog in your head, how often do you do this?

genetic studies in india do not seem to show any real genetic patterns at state or ethnicity level, but alcohol tolerance is strongly inherited so there are families in which this is very measurably real. maybe what we are noticing as "some states people can drink more" is some families that are prolific :)

2026-02-25 11:27:52 UTC

- reply

there's generally a negative correlation between alcohol sensitivity (how soon you get high) and addiction. so people who can drink more are slightly more likely to become addicted because that is how addiction happens, you need larger and larger doses of something to get you that high etc. this is thought to be one reason kerala has a massive addiction problem. this is folk medical belief, the genetics of our populations are not well studied.

Among the papers cited was one that lead me to discover that tears are studied as a source of chemosignals. Im not an expert but there's a lot of what read like really weird/cringe conclusions in these studies. my conclusion is that we havent been able to detect any real pheromones and chemical signaling in humans because we bathe and wear clothes. someday our species will probably smell of microplastics.

2026-01-04 08:30:29 UTC

Some people i know are into perfumes and some discussions i overheard lead me to read up on human pheromones and I stumbled into a lovely paper

our eng team is massively pushing back. AI adoption for writing code is doing well but lets push out a feature because ai can do it is a no go. Top boss is a DS critic. he told me to my face most DS models are more expensive than the problem they solve. this is kinda sad, because its not true but weirdly this is keeping the feature bloat problem at bay.

the 'anyone' is not ness. the operative word here, it's that more people can hope to do more than was possible. yes, the capture will be power-lawed, but then that is true of everything. i dont know if this is good tech of bad tech, i find it useful, its made my life better, and that is about as far as I can see. copyright is for eg. way way way more a studied and well described force of evil. most scientific knowledge is locked away. we laud sci hub. but why not an embedding of scihub?

people used photoshop to make deepfakes way before, should we discard all tech that has potential for misuse? perhaps programming languages that produce viruses? If anything, the problem seems to be that now almost anyone can do what earlier only the elite could. Anyone can sound like they went to a b-school or did a PhD anyone can generate dreams and plans that go no where, where earlier you needed to be a certain amount of rich/privileged.

One thing i love about snakes is that the same species can take so many different avatars. juveniles have different patterns, different areas have different morphs and even in the same area, they can all look so fabulously different. This for eg. are the morphs of the Malabar Pit Viper (Craspedocephalus malabaricus)

In this essay, I juxtapose the eschatological hopes and ideological certainties of contemporary communists with those of the auth-right, arguing that while their soteriologies differ in content, one seeking liberation through collective struggle and the abolition of capitalist structures, the other seeking a return to ethnonationalist and religious traditionalism, they are united by a shared pattern of epistemic closure, mythologized history, and utopian thinking that resists falsification. 1/69
