The most up-to-date research I've read on using noise for sleep suggests that if you have a very quiet environment, it's best to sleep in silence. If you need noise to fall asleep, then it's good to set it on hen it's good to set it on a timer. Unless you need it for blocking

For all those who were saying that the entire HuggingFace incident was just a publicity stunt, and that METR was really in on it because of some weird funding connections, it really doesn't seem like firing your technical correspondent for telling them too much would be the move.

From an alga's eyespot to experimental human vision restoration 👁️ This vid is Part 3! Make sure to check out Part 1 &3 if you missed them. The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honors Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel. Here's the clinical context beh

A light switch for selected brain cells! 🤯 This vid is Part 2! Make sure to check out Part 1 if you missed it. The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honors Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel. Optogenetics made causal experiments much more precise: scie

Fifteen years, a frog egg and a former schoolteacher fell... into science? 🤔 On October 5, 2026, Peter Hegemann, Georg Nagel and Karl Deisseroth received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics. The 12 mi

What happens when you don't get enough REM Sleep? This new study showed surprising results!

Two viral videos about Scotch tape for treating mosquito bites got almost 10 million views. But is there any scientific basis for it?

Super exciting new cancer treatment! This type of therapy can happen in an outpatient clinic, meaning it doesn't compete for hospital resources and could theoretically cost way less... If we can get the costs of the therapy itself down.

My biggest hope in this situation is that what we just saw was a result of some engineer actively slipping that particular message in somehow, rather than it being an emergent property of some deep level of the LLM's thinking that we don't really understand.

"If AI is so dangerous, why can't we just pull the plug?" - I analyzed the top AI posts from the last week, spanning >40 million views, and variations of this comment were the single most common response (after movie references). If only it were so simple.

Which foods are high in calcium? You can’t just trust the nutrition facts labels, because how your body absorbs calcium is somewhat based on what you consume it alongside. E.g. Roughly 1/3rd of the calcium in cow’s milk gets absorbed, but then the calcium from Soy Milk is abso

What's funny is that this is almost less scary than just watching it build an entire web-app for me in a single prompt 🥹 But d #ai #tech #claude #fable #anthropic

A "cure" for melanoma? Moderna's stock nearly tripling in one day might mean some think so. Soo let's separate the science from the stock chart. 🧪 The therapy is real and the mechanism is quite cool: sequence a patient's tumor, find up to 34 mutations only their cancer has, p

PMID: 36594224 I can get into a ton of cool science around the health effects- benefits and drawbacks - of cannabis in various situations, but IF consumption is going to happen, it should be done safely! #health #science #safety #nutrition

There ARE significant environmental concerns with the beef industry, just as there are with AI and data centers. There are also ways to mitigate both, with regenerative agriculture, closed-loop cooling systems, and systems that can use recycled or non-potable water. And there are

Because when the outfit is on, how can I not think about science? Should HatterScience be a new series? 5-10ml / 250ml of tea should be the minimum target (that’s 1-2tsp / 8.5oz). Part of the effect is due to the acidity itself but part of it is due to the antioxidant activi

Over 23 million combined views.... with the second vid clearly ripping off the first one, and both VERY misguided 😠 There ARE legitimate environmental claims pertaining to AI usage, especially when it comes to the impact on local communities where data centers are being built
