More Total Recall (1990) now after midnight. I do little bits here and there. Some weird ultraviolence before sleep. Maybe it's strange that this is a big comfort movie of mine, but it definitely is. Was thinking about it a lot Thursday, so it's time.

Avoiding coffee this morning... I didn't sleep well last night and want to limit the caffeine today, so I have a more successful sleep tonight!

One of the best things about the @… meeting is the chance to connect with experts in different but related fields. Dinner this evening covered low level jets, atmospheric rivers, carbon cycling by biological processes in the southern ocean, permafrost decay and vegetation processes in the Arctic and how wildfires will spread in the future.
We are a very diverse group.

Is cheese secretly fueling your nightmares? Science weighs in
Over a thousand students revealed a striking link between lactose intolerance and nightmare-filled nights, hinting that midnight stomach turmoil from dairy can invade dreams. Researchers suggest simple diet tweaks—especially ditching late-night cheese—could turn scary sleep into sweet rest, though more experiments are needed to decode the gut-dream connection.

Morabo Morojele’s creative career was remarkable.
What wove his three identities together – musician, development worker and writer – was his conscious, committed pan-Africanism
and his master craftsman’s skill with sound:
the sound of his drums and the sound of his words as they rose off the page.
Through his books, and his (far too few) recordings, that beauty lives with us still.

External light schedules can induce nighttime sleep disruptions in a Homeostat-Circadian-Light Model for sleep in young children

External light schedules can induce nighttime sleep disruptions in a Homeostat-Circadian-Light Model for sleep in young children
Sleep disturbances, particularly nighttime waking, are highly prevalent in young children and can significantly disrupt not only the child's well-being but also family functioning. Behavioral and environmental strategies, including the regulation of light exposure, are typically recommended treatments for nighttime waking. Using the Homeostatic-Circadian-Light (HCL) mathematical model for sleep timing based on the interaction of the circadian rhythm, the homeostatic sleep drive and external lig…

Kind of hard to feel empathy for Russian soldiers being scammed by Russian cops when this is how they transfer blame.

Go to sleep, Samir. The problems will still be there in the morning.

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Cell DTX/DRX Configuration for Network Energy Saving
3GPP Release 18 cell discontinuous transmission and reception (cell DTX/DRX) is an important new network energy saving feature for 5G. As a time-domain technique, it periodically aggregates the user data transmissions in a given duration of time when the traffic load is not heavy, so that the remaining time can be kept silent and advanced sleep modes (ASM) can be enabled to shut down more radio components and save more energy for the cell. However, inevitably the packet delay is increased, as d…

Oh no it happened - client for a research project I’m working on got upset that we’re doing manual data analysis of survey responses, and complained about why we are so slow when their internal team working on a different report got “everything done in a couple of days with #AI tools”
And then they told us that waiting for proper human analysis is a “waste of time” and that we need to just chuck our dataset into AI and “get it over with”
I really don’t know what to do right now 🥲
Trying to do this properly on their expected timeline will mean very little sleep for multiple days, but giving up on the project quality and dumping it into AI is will make this entire project a waste of time. (As I wouldn’t be able to trust the output of the analysis, or be proud of it to showcase the final report as an example of our work, and not to mention that I don’t want to support this expectation to rush everything at work with these AI models)

Starting up a run of Dreamscaper on Switch to try it tonight, grabbed it for super cheap ($4.99 for 10 more days) in the eshop, it's like you're this gal and it's an isometric Diablo-esque looking thing, the combat, but it's also very dream based, you do things in the waking world and I believe you battle when you sleep. So it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

I believe I have "mild” (relative to others I've heard about) Long COVID and my symptoms include, fatigue, memory loss, loss of focus, loss of motivation, worse sleep.
