Right, I sense a lack of open-mindedness here, or curiosity, fasting is widely recognized as having unique effects on stem cells including the immune system.

Of course placebo is involved in everything, as you know, whether you are aware of it or not, but the results of fasting are well studied and only a web search away.

I have MS, where autoimmune processes deteriorate the conductive coating on the nerves (myelin), and fasting is known for greatly boosting myelin repair. In fact, the most effective currently known remyelination treatment is a fasting mimet

Well, I did it, and I felt AMAZING for months after. I don't care about the doctor at all, I only wanted to link to the retreat to people are doing it and paying for it. I'm not advocating anybody do it either, and since it's

It does indeed sound incredibly dangerous, it isn't though. Russians (and some other European nations chiefly Germany) are into fasting, though I only know about Russians organizing dry fasting retreats, like Dr. Filinov https:/&

I'm into dry fasting, and I know people that did up to 20 days no food/water, and obviously little (but some) physical activity like slow walking.

While I did in the safety and chillness of my own apartment, I did a 10 day "dry" fast last year. As opposed to water fasting, with dry fasting you are not hungry AT ALL, but the thirst is something else. It's not unrelenting

I'm continously baffled by such comments. Have you really tried? Especially newer models like Claude 3.5?

The first phrase gives it away it's LLM output. It's not very frequent on HN.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I would be interested in opinions on the "best" type system implementation that has enough of a library ecosystem to be suitable for web/app development. To be clear it's also for le

Ruby is the greatest at it and inline deps make it perfect for scripting.

I mean that I could assemble from individual packages, for not particular reason aside from esthetic preference maybe?

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Are there any efforts to radically reimagine the entire "terminal" concept? Seems very limiting to advance further in the 21st century with those same 70's technical assumptions. [edit] I was thinking more in terms of being u

It's amusing to me people consider, say, the SAD as "meat-based", when the average american gets about 70g of red meat per day.

by lambdaba 2y ago
Yeah, calling that kind of processed meat "meat" is like calling seed oil laden fast food fries "vegetables"

I can't find a quote I remember reading, attributed to Beethoven, something along the lines of "if people could hear what I hear in my mind, they wouldn't care about my music". Does that ring a bell (!) with anybody? I c
