I didn't know about the UKBB browser. Very cool! Interesting sex difference for depression vs. grip strength f: -0.21 m: -0.13
Thanks. Do you know if the h2 of personality traits has been linked to the h2 of other traits? For example, grip strength is associated with some personality traits: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Any evidence that, e.g., the h2 of grip strength helps explain the h2 of neuroticism?

Yes, hosting user content is $$$. The question for Bluesky, which is currently running on venture capital, is how it's going to eventually make money.
Basically, yes. Bluesky has created an open social file system, and third parties can create new apps that create different types of files, which are saved in your account. Here is a former Bluesky developer explaining the concept: overreacted.io/a-social-fil...
The large number of third party "files" of different types created recently on the network means the Bluesky vision of an open social network is starting to succeed.
lexicons are kinda like file types, e.g., docx, xlsx, jpg, html A Bluesky post is basically a file with the extension "app.bsky.feed.post" The chart is the # of "files" of each type created on the Bluesky network last week. The right-hand column are third-party "file types".
Here's one on GitHub: github.com/janisdd/vsco... One of these could be modified to warn when guardrails are crossed

Our review of the import of the Man the Hunter conference and volume, which contrary to recent media coverage actually expressed diverse views on hunter-gatherers and inspired decades of research, is now published 🧪 #BioAnth authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
In short, although both are essential for the analysis of adaptations, the analysis of fitness effects is distinct from the analysis of design.
*Every* function in an organism is explained by its (past) positive causal effects on fitness. These downstream causal effects formed a complex web: see a predator -> freeze; hear a predator -> freeze; smell a predator -> freeze. Freeze -> predator doesn't see you.
Attaching the term "function" to both is one source of the many confusions you mention: we can't talk about the function of the eye because it has so many functions! Finding food! Detecting predators! Avoiding Cliffs! Selecting mates! But those "functions" aren't unique to the eye.
I prefer to restrict functionality to the effects of a trait that explain the properties of the trait. Focusing light explains the shape and clarity of the lens. Avoiding cliffs does not. The latter helps explain why the trait exists, but not why it has the properties it does -- its *design*.
