It looks like this study is not just about the effects from the soluble fiber in oats though, but their specific effects on the microbiome.

2kg in 2 days doesn't sound unreasonable at all. Glycogen and water loss from the calorie restriction will do that, along with maybe better bowel regularity from the fiber. Nobody is claiming they lost 2kg of body fat.

I don't think they do, people move around and swap seats. I expect they just find the losses small enough to write off. I was once travelling shortly after being issued a new debit card, but still had the old one in my wallet and used it by mistake and I wasn't charged. They never tracked me down for the cost of that packet of crisps!
Re:Is Rotten Tomatoes Still Reliable? A Statistical Analysis
on Thursday August 21, 2025 @04:39AM (#44970485)
I often enjoy movies that are unexpected and don't fit neatly into one established genre, but I think these tend to get lower audience ratings, while films that deliver to expectations do better, even if most of a randomly selected audience would dislike them.
If a movie is a comedy, with a poster with big red letters and a white background, people know it's a certain kind of movie, and mostly those who enjoy those movies will go see it.
Likewise with documentaries about some niche interest - those who watch it mostly sought it out because they're into that.
Re:Dicing an Onion, the Mathematically Optimal Way

When cutting potatoes into chunks, for something like a stew, I often find myself thinking about this problem, and how I would write a program for a robot to do it.
They are fairly well approximated as ellipsoids of different sizes. Typically, I want pieces around half the volume of the smallest potatoes, but with the range of sizes, this means cutting the larger ones into at least 5 pieces. While it would be simple to make parallel slices giving equal volume, these would have very different shape to the halved smalls. Some can be quartered to give nice chunks, others into thirds with 2 perpendicular cuts...

That was one part of the article I found questionable-
"If the body needs salt, those chips will cause a surge of pleasurable dopamine to flood the brain. If the body doesn’t need salt, that dopamine drip disappears"
Surely this second part is false? Most of us have got used to high levels of salt in modern diets, and prefer the taste of salty things even when we've had way more sodium than we need.

I definitely see effects on my glucose the day after when I change my exercise routine, such as doing an extra LISS session. Anticipation of something stressful or exciting does also have an effect. I haven't noticed any effect from simply expecting more exercise later (without emotions attached).
I believe a lot of this comes down to liver and muscle glycogen storage and release. (I'm T1)

I have noticed too that HN has an enduring fascination with quaternions, and they seem to reach front page surprisingly frequently (considering that there's not a huge amount of discussion of other geometry topics). I'm certainly not complaining though - I love quaternions too!
