i knew that day would come :)

Truth is many people also stop moving (exercising) significantly in their forties (reason being probably sitting lifestyle promotes posture and fascia degradation which makes moving less and less enjoyable).

I'd posit that another significant decline in moving occurs in the sixties when many go in rent.

Not sure if the biological clock is cause of abrupt changes or rather our scheduled lives. So, no significant changes from the sixties on? Then what's the genetic function of those programmations?

People who reach old age (100+) are mostly also comparatively healthy.

Question for the experts: As embeddings in question reflect content is there another vector for style? I was wondering if stylometry research would profit from embeddings becoming more easily accessible than ever. I dug my head into this matter some time ago and believe this would be the right tool.

It's incredible how deeply ingrained in memory some of those songs are that I immediately start to notice the slightest deviation.

Daft Punk especially for me represent a merger of musical genius and perfect execution.

As this is on HN I wonder how far in the future AI will excel at recreating/analysing songs. It seems like it could lend itself extremely well for this type of task.

Author mentions traveling means making 'much' money. I understand then why it might become a chore.

Also, some in their 30ies develop the urge to found a family and settle down.

Offtopic as it's not from the linked blog post, but this had me laughing:

The Quake soundtrack was what got me too. Sorry to hear that. Music certainly is a powerful modulator of the psyche. It can be devastating like a drug if young vulnerable and unprepared.

Great blog!

Interesting fact that memory decay also is inherently logarithmic/exponential.

Learning logs with SRS is so meta.

I would argue it's well-nigh impossible. But considering all the dirt we are exposed to nowadays (PM, microplastic, VOC, ...) being conscious about it maybe vital.

Think about household dust the next time you make your bed.

Could that incident 4 days ago in a South Corean maneuvre have anything to do with GPS manipulation? That was my first thought when i heard of it.

Whenever I spot people watchers , I secretly observe them (not to make them suspicious or feel uncomfortable). They are the most interesting species!

Haha.

Shame on you for making me laugh. That was very inappropriate.

Author could add 'close your eyes' at some point.

Easy now, you're gambling with WW3!

Hell.. this escalated quickly..

I wonder if the character was ever used to raise awareness for depression. Does anybody know?

Seems like a no-brainer.

What parametric CAD tool did you use? Thanks!

Hedgehog is literally "needle-mouse" (hari-nezumi).

Hi Thomas, sorry to hear. I'm no doctor but I've had my own share of bad-ergonomic-induced pain so I feel entitled to add my view.

Also I write this to everybody suffering from this kind of pain. It's the raging epidemic of our time.

This all sounds too familiar for fascia as the source of pain. Fascia pain is often described as "nasty". MRT doesn't show problems is also indicative of fascia.

I may say that I saw your profile pic on LI and immediately noticed your hanging shoulders. Slight head-forward-posture also doesn't surprise if I may say so and if I'm not mistaken.

My advice would be, leave the stretching behind. Theraband is an insult for every young healthy individual. I sorted out my problems by training upper limbs with weights (start with 1.5kg dumbbells), resistance band and also the occasional fascia roll aka foam roller.

Let me suggest some reading to get into the matter.

Beginner level: Fascial Fitness, Schleip Expert level: Anatomy Trains, Myers

With kind permission, from that book:

Because posture is what you do most of the time, it is often at the root of joint pain, muscle imbalances, and injuries. On top of that, it tends to worsen with age. If you don’t address posture, you’ll be continually slapping Band-Aids on the problems caused by it. It’s a game you simply can’t win. But you can’t just fix posture by consciously holding yourself differently. It takes structural changes to musculature [...]. It requires a combination of training your body to maintain better posture and consciously working to hold yourself in better positions. [...]. While exercising, you train muscles and movements that improve dynamic posture, and you see a little progress from week to week. It’s a painstakingly slow process, but it works. And it’s worth it.

Same source: It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out - it’s the grain of sand in your shoe.

Good news is that you will get better soon if you start exercising regularly. Bit of a downer is, that it will take about the same amount of time to revert to "pristine" posture as it "took" you to imprint your current posture into your fascia.

Pain from the 50th repetition of a weight lift has far better quality to it than chronic pain.

holy shit. AI going rogue...

Had to parse two times.. wasn't sure if satire...

video author is using 3b1b's manim (https://github.com/3b1b/manim). wonderful presentation.

Scaffolding also comes with a price tag. A substantial amount of material (usual metal) goes into that.

same here! big kudos to the devs!

Sometimes I enjoy doing this, too. Makes one wonder about memory..

what if you lasercut it? would it fall apart in two pieces? :)

Sorry, for disturbing late.. but hey, thanks for pointing out! (I don't get notifications, so I need to check for replies then and again..)

From time to time I'm looking into ketogenic diet and find it always inspiring how others manage carb and fat. I try to avoid carbs and if I eat them I always try to get my body moving, be it a light walk (so, not exactly practising full keto..). Main meal for me is dinner... I like how digestion and energy restoration is taking place mainly at night's rest. I don't experience problems falling asleep when giving my body food it needs. I'm usually not bothered by feelings of hunger til late afternoon (intermittent fasting so to speak, fat goes a long way..). Most important habit for good sleep seems to be "lay down, don't touch phone".. Hope this inspires, too :)

(eventual recommendation "the ketogenic bible, wilson/lowery")

Can you elaborate a little about your diet adaption in terms of food classes (carbohydrates, fat, proteins, ...) if it isn't only the coffeine intake you modify? Thanks!

I agree. The similarity between black holes and our universe is striking. The fact that matter inside it can not be observed from outside opens possibilities for all kind of quantum states, which is maybe, just the configuration of a universe (for example that one we are living in).

Main reason for sleep apnea - in my opinion - is deformed/degenerated fascia in the neck aka head forward posture. It's the disease of our modern (sedentary) age. SA is only one symptom. If you heard this the first time please feel free to ask. I'm always astounded at how common these CPAP devices are. Truly frightening.
