Sleeping through bad smells
Sleeping through bad smells
05/17/2004 11:56 AMHumans have an incredibly acute sense of smell, but a new study shows
that our perception of odors is dramatically reduced when we're
snoozing. Researchers at Brown University published a paper in the
journal Sleep showing that individuals slept right through the
introduction of intense scents indicative of fires. A moderately loud
sound woke people right away though.
“As the saying goes,” said the paper’s
co-author Mary A. Carskadon, “we ‘wake up and smell the
coffee,’ not the other way around.”
Still, I wonder if this is because we're trained from a young age to
respond to buzzing, radio-blaring alarms. It would be fun to have an
alarm clock that at a pre-set hour spewed a refreshing blast of
peppermint!

The sleeping giant
The sleeping giant
02/05/2005 09:50 PMMan, I didn't know that my
little late night blurb written mostly to myself would spark such
a reaction. I guess I woke a sleeping giant or something. Dave
is annoyed, Tom blames it
on tools, and Andre wants
more flexibility.
The funniest thing is I
kind of called for this to grow last summer, and I never really
thought about how it affects end users. I uploaded a gallery of 20
photos or so to flickr a while back and a couple people said the feed
was overrun with the shots, so much so that they wanted a way to
remove them somehow.
For the last few years, I've had a site filled with stuff that I
recently wiped in the hopes of starting over. Ideally, I'd like to get
something close to Leonard's site,
where all my feeds for separate services can live on one page, but
there can still be a place to write longer text pieces like this one
that dominate the space. I always envisioned One Feed To Rule Them All
containing the parts from every sub-section, but after reading stuff
like Dave wrote, maybe I'll default to the text blog feed, with other
feeds sepate and one megafeed that you could subscribe to, but that
tools wouldn't default to picking up.

The Sleeping Beaty problem
The Sleeping Beaty problem
07/21/2004 05:51 AM
"We plan to put Beauty to sleep by chemical means, and then
we’ll flip a fair coin. If the coin lands Heads, we will awaken
Beauty on Monday afternoon and interview her. If it lands Tails, we
will awaken her Monday afternoon, interview her, put her back to
sleep, and then awaken her again on Tuesday afternoon and interview
her again. The (each?) interview is to consist of the one question :
what is your credence now for the proposition that our coin landed
Heads? When awakened (and during the interview) Beauty will not be
able to tell which day it is, nor will she remember whether she has
been awakened before. She knows about the above details of our
experiment. What credence should she state in answer to our
question?"
In light of the recent thread on the
Monty Hall problem,
here's a probability puzzle that's even more mind-bending: the
Sleeping Beauty problem.
Some people say the answer is
1/2. Some people say
the answer is
1/3. Some people

no answer.

12/08/2003 11:38 AMA man who'd been pulled ver for driving with expired tags called a
friend while the tow was on the way and had the firend update his
registration online. Before the tow arrived, the car had been
registered, and the cop let him go with a ticket.
Leach took the renewal form the commission had sent him from his
visor, which contained the access code he needed to renew. While Zier
issued the summons and ordered the tow, Leach called a friend who took
his credit card number and other information and renewed the
registration for him, Conry said.
When Zier came back with the ticket, Leach told him the car was now
registered. The computer inside Zier's patrol car confirmed it.

Sleeping
with the president is not a good idea. Bush had no answers to big
questions, such as 'what happens on the morning after.' The Daily
Telegraph reports that documents show Prime Minister Tony Blair signed
up to the U.S. policy of regime change in March 2002, a year before
the conflict started... after he was warned that postwar stability
would be difficult and the U.S. had few answers. Oh, no problem. This
week,
Bush said he is 'pleased with the progress' in Iraq.' Shotgun robber, 12, avoids jail
