US AI companies had the chance to advocate for an inclusive distribution of industrial capacity and investment that would have sustainably fueled this economy for decades. Instead they squandered it on a shitty concentrated datacenter bubble with no chance of return on investment.

This mess is a stress test of Bevy 0.19 with 2,000,000 instances of 100,000 separate meshes. Runs at 60 FPS on my laptop. Each of the 2M mesh instances is a separate entity. There's no special "instanced mesh" component needed; the GPU driven rendering does all the batching automatically.

PSA: by default, Claude Code deletes sessions from its local history after 30 days. To increase this period: add the property `cleanupPeriodDays` to `~/.claude/settings.json` with the integer value of your choice. I set mine to 36,500 — which will probably suffice.

“Suicides rise following commencement of Daylight Saving Time, compared to the return to Standard Time.”
Sleep and Biological Rhythms

Small shifts in diurnal rhythms are associated with an increase in suicide: The effect of daylight saving

Michael BERK, Seetal DODD, Karen HALLAM, Lesley BERK, John GLEESON, Margaret HENRY

21 February 2008

Abstract
Large disruptions of chronobiological rhythms are documented as destabilizing individuals with bipolar disorder; however, the impact of small phase altering events is unclear. Australian suicide data from 1971 to 2001 were assessed to determine the impact on the number of suicides of a 1-h time shift due to daylight saving. The results confirm that male suicide rates rise in the weeks following the commencement of daylight saving, compared to the weeks following the return to eastern standard time and for the rest of the year.
