Kids do think about death. Hiding or avoiding the discussion does nothing. My kids absolutely adored Brothers Lionheart.

Have you read the book or your kids just read it without you knowing what is it about?

This book says basically - no biggie, there is no death, you commit suicide to move to another level to be with your brother, you can't lose him, you have infinite lives in this videogame called Life. And what if I F up the next level? no biggie, you just commit suicide again to be with him, there is no such thing as permanent death/separation from your loved ones, after each death you just move to another level. That's really F up thing to teach small kids, who should know death is permanent.


Yes I have read it. Kids are not retarded.

I don't know why you are down voted. Death was so much more present in kids lives back then. Death from diseases and injuries so common. Kids having dead siblings entirely normal.

The writing of Charles Dickens support this thesis strongly!

Musk probably made more dollar millionaires than anyone in history. Facebook advertisers use it because it works and reaches a hell of a lot of people.

I don't think Facebook advertisers are being particularly irrational, it's just very interesting to point out how this ad business, despite leaving most of its users ultimately unsatisfied, can be so profitable.

I think you are projecting your biases.

I’m probably biased, but do you really think Meta is, on net, a positive to the world?

I don't think that is an answerable question. It is just an excuse for people justifying a hamfisted intervention into society that actually would do more harm than good.

There is a malaise in the west and Meta is just a symptom. More institutional power is a bad idea when institutions are dysfunctional.


OLED also has a deep history with a pretty famous opinions that it is impossible and a waste of time and money for companies to invest in the development. So does AI. From inception to product it is normal for decades to pass.

Compute needs change. AI needs are pretty unique in terms of scale and type of compute requirements to anything else so far.


So completely unnecessary.


i.e. enthusiasts. The cheapest, most demanding, the loudest and least loyal customers.


Every time we tried it, it resulted in a worse experience than we knew could be done using native stacks. It is like using sand as a foundation for your house. Random version updates break random things. As soon as you need something a bit advanced on the platform, you are stuck with some barely supported library. Easy to start, hard to maintain and hard to ship a solid product.


The body gets used to melatonin. It is actually a crap sleep supplement. It works worse every time you take it. What you should be doing is give the body the ingredients it needs to make its own melatonin like it is suppose to work.


Hmm no there's no little evidence to support the body getting used to external melatonin and not making its own in response


Insomniac for 20 years. What was a complete solution for me was: magnesium, b6 p5p (p5p form very important) and the ultimate punch glycine.

Glycine takes some getting used to, as you will have crazy intense dreams at first. But it is a very safe supplement to take even in large doses.

I always had huge insomnia issues after a physically intensive days after workouts. The stack I settled on solved it. A heavy day just needs a bit more magnesium and quite a bit more glycine.


How much of each do you take and when do you take them?


B6 40/50mg depending on the pill.

Magnesium 300mg or so.

Glycine I started with 3/5g, now I take like 30g


Probably worth getting blood B6 levels checked every now and then, taking reasonably big does like that can cause it to build up and eventually give you nerve damage leading to peripheral neuropathy.


Timing? How many hours before bed?


Magnesium around every half hour around 100mg starting 2h before bed, the rest when I go to bed.


Thanks a lot.


Probably pay the power company to put in the required infrastructure upgrades I guess.
