oldestofsports··on The next chapter of the Microsoft–OpenAI partnership
So why are your arbitrary yard sticks more valid than someone elses?

Probable the biggest problem as others have stated is that we can’t really define intelligence more precisely than that it is something most humans have and all rocks don’t. So how could any definition for AGI be any more precise?

oldestofsports··on How the brain's activity, energy use and blood flow change as people fall asleep
I have had sleep issues my whole life, but what works for me is: - Get up same time every day - Moderate excersize every other day - Stable diet, homecooked healthy food and no soda/beer/candy whatsoever. - Dim the lights after dinner - No screens after 8pm (e-ink screens are allowed), no podcasts, no digital content consuming. - Actively aim to be bored everyday - Read a good book before bedtime

May sound like a lot, but I sleep now.

oldestofsports··on Show HN: A better Hacker News front end
What I think is better:

- Dark mode feature

- search might be useful.

What I think is worse:

- More spacing

- Menu missing threads, past, comments, jobs and submit.

- Icon buttons.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I think text based buttons are much faster to locate while icons require more effort to understand. Icons only make sense to you when you already know what it is supposed to represent
