It sounds like is a genuine treatment for those who suffer from narcolepsy, and everything else is merely speculative and has seem pretty bad side-effects.
There is evidence that some forms of ADHD are effectively just the brain falling asleep rapidly and then waking up. This form cam be attenuated with norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor alone. Presents with ADHD like symptoms. But it’s a new thing most likely. Called “Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome”.
Despite the stigma surrounding semaglutide, its impact across various health conditions has been remarkable. Bringing that same level of innovation to cognitive disorders could be truly transformative for society
> IMO the much more likely explanation is that the brain uses contrastive learning somewhere. [...] Instead of using calculus and outer products to calculate derivatives, you feed real data and false data forward through the network and each neuron tracks and trains on the difference.
If this means I don't have to take Methylphenidate to function 100% all the time and as a result feel tremendously anxious 100% all the time. SIGN ME UP.
Adding guanfacine (Intuniv) to my methylphenidate took the weird anxious-angry edge off. Would be nice to not have to take one med to fix the side effects of the other, though.
The second I read the print in Nature a bit ago I knew some version would show up here. I swear I’ve met deployed Marines less obsessed with staying awake through chemistry than some people here.
Vegetable diarrhea, hypothyroidism medication defect causes hyperthyroidism, overseas underground labs are preparing for US govt promoted SARM goblin hordes, and the US Armed Services want to measure the gonads of 17yo recruits. Imma sit this one out.

Separately, do I understand the idea correctly:
- when learning on the real examples, just propagate forward
- when learning on the fake examples, first generate them by propagating white noise backward
I'm curious if there is an explanation for it not being more common to sleep like dolphins do, small parts of the brain at a time.

You sure about that math?
Sleep less and sit more. What a species we’ve become.
24/7 stock market, least sleep needed, most AI piled, I’m very excited!

A better modafinil? Sign me up.
Hooray fatal insomnia

wow. now i'm really excited for the future
