HOLY MOTHER OF MATHEMATICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Google is working on a math-focused variant of its DeepThink model, and its raw thoughts are pretty funny.
first time staying super late at my internship 8:22am-8pm today
i don't actually mind, i was very locked in on what i was working on and just wanted to get it done
Day 4 of my engineering internship. I have done exactly zero engineering, in fact I have done 3 hours of labor this week. I just pull up 2 site plans on my monitors and click when someone walks by. Is this my life for the next 40 years? Here’s my Tupperware slop. #thatsbaseball
just made an absolute banger meal prep and ruined it in the last moment by adding minced garlic that had been sitting in my fridge for too long. everything started smelling and tasting like fish, had to throw it away :(
going to start seriously training my big 3 this year, aiming to join the 1000lb club by 2027
starting stats:
bench - 235lbs max
squat - 225 x 8
deadlift - 315lbs max
This is one of the most important studies in sleep science.
Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours.
The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours.
But here’s what makes this study terrifying.
The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating.
This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired.
The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens.
Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness.
The practical implications:
If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter.
For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput.
Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“
Competitive gamers: 6h of sleep is a hidden nerf.
6h/night for 2 weeks → reaction time & attention decline to the equivalent of pulling MULTIPLE all-nighters.
Worst part: subjective fatigue plateaus, so you stop noticing.
If you're not getting 7+ hours/night, you're trolling.
@fettR6S hot take aiming well and often for 30 minutes is easier than bursts of 5-20 seconds every few minutes
easier to stay constantly warm and ready than having to spike alertness
@punishedfounder@theJayAlto true, not to mention how long the field has existed. it's easy to be/stay at the top when you've been there since the beginning
