The AI coding trap
If you ever watch someone “coding”, you might see them spending far more time staring into space than typing on their keyboard. No, they (probably) aren’t slacking off. Software development is fundamentally a practice of problem-solving, and so, as with solving a tricky crossword, most of the work is done in your head. […]

Life after lockdown: five years on, this is how Australia has changed since Covid first started

Five years on, this is how Australia changed since Covid 
In March 2020 we wondered how Covid would change us. Five years on, the data shows the pandemic pressed fast-forward on a host of changes.

Somewhere between my original vision for web 1.0 and the rise of social media as part of web 2.0,
we took the wrong path.
We’re now at a new crossroads,
one where we must decide if AI will be used for the betterment or to the detriment of society.
How can we learn from the mistakes of the past?
First of all, we must ensure policymakers do not end up playing the same decade-long game of catchup they have done over social media.

Mouse study links chronic pain to disrupted sleep patterns
Pain and sleep disturbances often go hand in hand—more than 30% of the U.S. population lives with pain, and a majority of those with pain also report sleep disorders—but the relationship between the two has remained largely unexplored.

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane,
most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear
that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition
continuously until death do them part.
