Which is what the app on my phone is based on already. I manage it most days easily by walking from the bus station to work and back, which is ~1 mile. And that doesn't include the time I'm actually at work, because I can't wear my smart watch actually in the office.

Not surprising. The 10K steps idea was first set by a Japanese maker of pedometers as a marketing exercise with zero research to back it up.

The pedometers are all so imprecise though that it showing 10k may well be 6k real steps.

6k would be too easy to motivate buying pedometers, I guess.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a bunch of cherry shrimp in a bed of Java moss?

Really balancing on that ethics knife's edge here, aren't we?

Everyday we get closer to artificially grown brains replacing LLMs as the new AI hype.

It won’t be an AI anymore. But an AM, an artificial mind.

Maybe home-grown human intelligence (HGHI)?

Causality.

Some people aren't unhealthy because they don't walk enough, they don't walk enough because they're unhealthy or have an underlying condition.

Someone in a coma ain't walking much, but that's not the main reason they're more likely to die sooner rather than later.

I don't understand why they use steps. Who counts steps? It is more individualized than a distance, but my gosh, who is out there saying 4,981, 4,982, ...? I know roughly the distance of my pace and could convert.

It really sounds like we need folks to get out and do it, tho!

That's cool, though I don't think it's particularly startling that the burial site predates the Incan Empire. The Incan Empire was super powerful and influential but the empire only lasted around a 100 years. The Wari were around for 4x the amount of time

Oh yes, sciencealert.com the pinnacle of breaking scientific reporting

I thought it was an interesting story. Is it not a good source?

Going though their article set, seems pretty solid to me

This is fascinating! It sounds like something from a sci-if story.

Is it a penis, or is this just the human nature to look at something and say "haha that looks like a penis"? Because frankly, if any of y'all's genitalia looks like that I'd recommend you consult with your physician.
