Just this morning when I couldn't sleep I was reading the Wikipedia E-M algorithm page with its illustration of clustering the bimodal eruption distribution of Old Faithful: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation%E2%80%93maximiza...

If ya can't sleep, ya might as well learn something. Thanks for the link! Sincerely, ~also can't sleep.

Hmmm — isn’t it possible that too much awareness of our pending apocalyptic peril at the mercy of the Yellowstone Caldera is what’s arresting your slumbers in the first place?

If only my late night existential crises were based on realistic apocalyptic peril, rather than some kind of unknown that's impossible to put into words. At least then, there's some kind of science and "natural rules" to limit the exposure.

Honestly, I would be more worried about an elephant rampage, as it is significantly more likely.

Sheesh! Now I definitely won’t sleep, house as I am in this flimsy house, not in any way robust enough to withstand the inevitable rampaging herd.

I recently discovered the channel “Radio chatter for sleep” which contains old space shuttle air to ground link recordings. Hope you find something that works. https://youtube.com/@radiochatterforsleep?si=JafAcX4-u4fRrmL...
