Making my sleep schedule work for other people

At long last! I haven't bought it and going to atm, but I'm already sure it's the best dithering software. It's powered by the library makew0rld had made before. Nice.

This stability exists despite the incredible diversity seen today in wing patterns, sizes, and caterpillar forms across over 160,000 species globally, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

It is rather like how fish can stay in the same place in a flowing river. They have to swim against the current. Similarly, in the absence of evolution, the genome would degrade due to accumulated mutations. Natural selection constantly selects against non-adaptive mutations. The genome of a creature which is as well adapted as it can be for a particular environment does not change because it cannot be better adapted than it already is.

My thoughts and findings

Modal programs are represented as a series of rules, formatted as tokens delimited by brackets and parentheses, applied to a given tree which gets continually modified until no rules match any given part of the tree.

<> (?x dup) (?x ?x)
<> (?x ?y swap) (?y ?x)

.. (1 2 3) (4 5 6) swap pop dup

Archive.today is a time capsule for web pages! It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears. It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracyand provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page

The Dunning-Kruger effect states that incompetent people overestimate their competence. You've heard of that before, probably. Turns out, there is a major error in the statistics: the effect is actually nothing more than an autocorrelation. If we measure the stuff correctly, the effect disappears.

Long and entertaining text. It's mostly about the script.

Tedu didn't enjoy Swift.

Works well.

A fish in the water doesn’t know what water is, a fish would also be a horrible swimming instructor.

The subjective experiencer definitely knows something that the observer doesn’t, but there are probably things that the observer can understand that they can’t and they might not be able to ever grasp it.
