Hence why time tends to slow down while living in the moment rather than reminiscing or dwelling on the past.

Re:Fraud, so much fraud on Friday September 27, 2024 @01:54PM (#41673629)
As a collective endeavor to seek out higher truth, maybe some amount of fraud is necessary to train the immune system of the collective body, so to speak, so that it's more resilient in the long-term. But too much fraud, I agree, could tip into mistrust of the entire system. My fear is that AI further exacerbates this problem, and only AI itself can handle wading through the resulting volume of junk science output.

Re:The Problem of the Aging Surgeon (2009) on Wednesday June 26, 2019 @07:19PM (#20290298)
DeBakey performed his last surgery at age 90 [1], pioneered numerous procedures -- including one performed on himself at age 97 [2], and continued to practice medicine until his death at age 99. Remarkable person, but obviously an outlier. Just thought it would be interesting to bring him up in this thread.

Here's a recent follow-up paper [1] testing exactly that on many diverse datasets, positing that scale-free (power-law distributed) networks are actually not that common in the real world. Quanta has a nice article about it [2].

Yeah, my first thought was the latter interpretation. Got excited for a moment that we may someday be able to cure sleep (kidding, of course -- sleep is glorious).
GraphQL has been a breath of fresh air -- you can tell a lot of thought went into its design and implementation.
