I was woken up by an SVT heart racing incident at 01:20 this morning. Rate was 133 bpm as recorded by Apple Watch. I did the MVM* at 01:25 and this stopped it. Rate dropped to 78 bpm.
Data in Apple Health shows the high rate started about 00:50. See pic.

Mo Gawdat, “Scary Smart”:
“If we managed to connect your brain to a bunch of flies so they could use all your intelligence to find the next pile of garbage, would you spend the rest of your life proudly serving their needs?”
Rhetorical I guess..

Apropos of nothing, I've always imagined blockchains as looking like some kind of brutalist/Borg jenga tower.
@helenczerski oooh is that like the blue-green Spirulina algae that is in stem cell nutritional supplements?
Vegan Omega-3s. Niiiice….
Just listened to a great episode of BBC R4’s The Food Programme, all about eating for brain health: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001p6yx ...

Cujo being told that it’s Python today and not JavaScript. The amount of code lectures that dog has heard - he must be better than an AI by now. #WoofGPT

A large, many-leveled topic, but I offered this quick note a moment ago to a post critical of "faith":
The words of course get used in different ways by different people. But as a student of world religion and a Buddhist minister, I favor the distinction a professor of mine made:
"Belief" can be a closed-minded and often bigoted idea.
"Faith" can be an open-hearted and often humbling engagement with life's worth.
@malwaretech thanks for saving me the bother Marcus. As soon as I found out it was Meta/Insta dependent I knew it wasn’t for me. Did you hear about the Garcinia Kola/Ebola scandal with Insta? If not, you’d love that story!
@davoloid thanks Dave yeah I'm pleased with it. Currently debugging whole app cause my Vite won't rollup the JS for a build however...
