The Unbearable Slowness of Being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?

This article is about the neural conundrum behind the slowness of human behavior. The information throughput of a human being is about 10 bits/s. I...

the difference between the two is fascinating to think about. lots of input, small, highly refined output. it's the context provided by the brain that allows 10 bits to encode seemingly simple concepts like "that's a dog". similarly, having shared first person experiences with other people builds that context and allows one to leverage more into fewer bits.

received the "Hypermedia Systems" book in the mail today, by Carson Gross on the principles that #htmx is built on. I am happy to support the effort by buying the book. but the fact that the book is 8 1/2 " x 11" format was surprising, and something I didn't realize before purchasing. so if you care about your eyes side-scrolling when reading, maybe skip the print version.
