Makes sense. Isn’t this one method that new crops are made, by radiating seeds and seeing what new diversity arises.
In addition to weight loss, fasting can reduce activated microglia in the brain which could play some part in this, as microglia was mentioned in the study.

Is this going to be like BPA free where companies just slightly alter the chemical makeup and it’s back to business like normal?
That’s amazing, can’t wait to see new therapeutics developed off this finding.

California is a big state. Are we talking a major coastal city or inland somewhere?
I would agree. I too met my wife on OkCupid and she happens to be the smartest woman I know. Her whole family is incredibly smart.

I had another OKC date from that era where the woman had a very high IQ, her father was a prolific author and her late 20’s brother was VP of ask.com at the time.

I had just assumed it was the Silicon Valley bubble clientele (and still just might’ve been). But only 3 years later I recall younger male coworkers describing how much dating apps declined and how terrible the dating scene had become with “swipe culture”.

I’ve found Marcus filly to be a great starting point for “functional bodybuilding”. He is an ex cross fitter with amazing physique but after rehabbing many injuries his programs and youtube videos emphasizes functional movements as a key foundational principle to all workouts.

Peter Thiel just needs to add in the metformin and DHEA and his thymus rejuvenation will be complete.
Makes me wonder, would the heat cycle on a common dishwasher do similar things, coating the plastic dish in nano particular or is it specifically the microwave aspect?
“Other people tried to put tDCS on a cadaver and said that there wasn’t enough electricity that was penetrating the skull to make any difference in terms of action potentials. But the next meta-analysis found some effectiveness for depression and anxiety. The study[1], published in 2017, was one of the best out there.” 1. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13882...

Article also mentions living bone is conductive.

Half of the ones I get use those apps that go straight to your voicemail to leave a message so you can’t even answer if you wanted to.
I default to immediately asking GPT4 to review its solution and fix any mistakes it finds.

There’s also an interesting paper about providing it guidance that it can make a “tree of thoughts” which allows it to move forward and backwards as it comes up with solutions then present its best solution to you. The paper suggests you can squeeze a lot more performance out of LLM’s (even smaller ones) this way. I’ve been wanting to experiment with my prompting in this fashion: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.10601.pdf

For me there’s never enough sauce, glaze, topper, what-have-you called out for the dish. I consistently have to 2-4x the volume just to serve the meal appropriately. Occasionally the recipe ratios are so off that the entree would burn without more liquid.

Does something like this exist for local code repos? (Excuse my ignorance since the space is moving faster than light.)

Unfortunately no beta internet plug-in access in iOS app even when I have it through their website.

Re:Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic? on Saturday September 10, 2022 @01:37AM (#32788100)
It was a joke but then it made me think there might be some fact to it. The way married peoples start to share biomes and are probably lacking in diversity compared to someone who more frequently changes partners. There’s probably some gut health aspects there that could be studied.

Since I was born via c-section I've tried to make up for the lack of my microbiome diversity by spending many years going down on a lot of different women and it seems to be working.
