the caloric restriction that these drugs engender can indeed lead to various forms of under-nourishment. as you point out, your protein needs (as a proportion of calorie sources) go UP when you are in caloric restriction; see PSMF.

>a lot

this is pretty vague. I certainly dont think a mastery of any concept invented in last thousand years would be considered encoded in genes though we would want or expect an AGI to be able to learn calculus for instance. In terms of "encoded in genes", I'd say most of what is asked or expected of AGI goes beyond what feral children (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child) were able to demonstrate.

ISRU water to hydrolox to reduce amount of uplift from earth's gravity well?

People aren’t computers. Eating fixation and compulsion empirically override the more rational mind in millions of people. One of the effects of these drugs is making eating a more “impersonal” or “detached” kind of decision, so it feels like a real choice rather than something that you think you have a say in but really the more base instincts will override.

This doesn’t contribute to the discussion

Idk if you are serious about that, but if you are there is hope. For about $200/month (not going through insurance) it can be quite easy to not eat so much. I have been really shocked by how much my mind has been quieted by not being obsessed about food and never feeling deprived. Downside: you feel full all the time. Hims.com it’s super easy (no office visits no video conferencing) and fast. Not affiliated except as a happy customer (my wife is happy too.) you CAN out-eat it, but it’s far easier not to.

the question is depth and quality of explainability as determined by the predictive power those explanations provide...

I still don’t believe explanations for gravity…let alone dark matter!

Group text works cross platform now.. some friend groups are on discord

Group texts and shared albums (iPhoto or Google photo if you have androids in the mix) are most of my social interaction already..

I don’t know if that is what is happening here, but it is a common occurrence — both to juice numbers but also for special pricing (as mentioned in article) or mutual flexibility (dedicated launch), because the founders know each other, etc.

Why is forced amortization of payroll a subsidy?

I think you are underselling licensing issues, especially of third party libraries I can imagine for things like ui, music, physics, etc.

this is something i dont understand because P/E's are so high, why so few IPOs?

the gp is a sock puppet account, consistently posting pro-china and anti-west stuff.

It was commercial version of couch surfing and/or web2.0 version of vrbo. I was highly skeptical of it taking off because it was “a copycat”! How wrong I was…

Pedantic nit: dampening is to wet, damping is to subdue oscillations.

Make fertilizer from solar energy

Ah yes, wonderful! The koans sites used to be a great way to get into ruby not sure if they are anymore

Efficiency isn’t the goal of writing ruby. I think “thinking in ruby” can be expansive to you, but “how do I program efficient ruby” is actually antithetical to that.

Most people aren’t engineers and the idea of watt-hours per hour makes eyes glaze over; miles per gallon vs… watt-hours-per-mile ? Nah that is confusing too. Miles per MJ and how many MJ does the car have is nice and clean.

I think you have curse of knowledge, frankly.

> Their report showed that, on average, EV batteries have 90 percent capacity after 100,000 kilometers of driving, and at 300,000 kilometers they still have 87 percent of their original kilowatts left

Another example of how KWh is the wrong unit for energy storage — gets so many people confused and they don’t know the difference between storage and power.

What state are you in? This is quite common in many parts of the country..

No, reduce barriers to increasing housing supply. You can’t fix the gap between housing starts and population with more barriers to building new housing.

I was low-fodmap for YEARS (a little onion on something would trigger an emergency bathroom situation for me...) . but now FODZYME means I even make onion jelly for my burgers with zero discomfort. it costs about a dollar per serving and you have to put it on after cooking (heat denatures it or something) but it is truly a game-changer. im not affiliated in any way except I just ordered another bottle.

Other commenters have elaborated as well, but to summmarize: hundreds of Ms on a dev machine a) does matter and b) is likely much much more in less than ideal computing environments, I disagree that the backend usually is where more time is spent (at least in maaaaany apps I have worked on) And re: specialized domains, I think most users of most software appreciate speed even if it isn’t a stated objective

>React performance concerns in the real world are typically measured in, at worst, hundreds of milliseconds. Yes, there are a few specialized domains where this will matter. No, you probably don’t work in one. Greater leverage can almost always be derived from improving the backend.

Respectfully, I disagree on all of these points.

why'd you stop?
