Tinnitus Is Somehow Connected to a Crucial Bodily Function in c/science@beehaw.org

I don't think the article claims any correlation regarding that. They're saying that during sleep it gets inhibited - which we don't notice either way.

Unfortunately, it falls right into the whole authoritarian taking control, surveillance, and manipulation push that became not only pretty open in activities but also pretty transparent through published findings and contextualized previously published materials. Seems likely that it's all connected.

Are you coding/working on something currently?

Are you familiar with command line? Do you know Nushell?

I got back into Overwatch. Only playing Illari.

Continuing my daily Idle Slayer login for minion quest-sending. Offline progression is a nice thing. I just wish it would end already. It's too endless.

I've bought a shooter bundle, so I may play Selaco soon. There are a few other games to play and clear out from installed, a demo, another small game.

The paper doesn't list it as an author.

Noteworthy (not about the person in the title):

Nvidia hasn't really fallen yet. Across six months it's pretty flat. Nothing like Microsoft or Amazon which have significant dips.

Then it seems like a strategic move alongside locking higher playback speeds behind premium as well.

UI and player control on payed tiers when it makes no technical difference to them as a delivery platform.

After 20 Years, This Scientist Proved Birds Can Talk and Use Grammar (www.youtube.com)
 

Tits have words and grammar, other animals listen and react to their alerts, and they even lie to misguide predators.

Linked is part 1, part 2 talks about much of the same and then goes into the lying aspect.

Unexpected events and prosocial behavior: the Batman effect (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
 

With a Batman (person in costume) present in the subway, seat offered to a pregnant person increased from 37 % to 67 %.

44 % of those who offered their seat reported not having seen Batman.

YouTube short about the topic, from DrBenMiles

Abstract (added linebreaks):

Prosocial behavior, the act of helping others, is essential to social life, yet spontaneous environmental triggers for such behavior remain underexplored.

This study tested whether an unexpected event, such as the presence of a person dressed as Batman, could increase prosocial behavior by disrupting routine and enhancing attention to the present moment.

We conducted a quasi-experimental field study on the Milan metro, observing 138 rides. In the control condition, a female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train with an observer. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door.

Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%, OR = 3.393, p < 0.001). Notably, 44% of those who offered their seat in the experimental condition reported not seeing Batman.

These findings suggest that unexpected events can promote prosociality, even without conscious awareness, with implications for encouraging kindness in public settings.
