There's a lot of evidence that he popularized NMN and helped build market demand for it only to later use some regulatory trickery to ensure that a company he's involved with is the only one who's licensed to sell it in the U

Granted; I was very junior then--and I think my issues may have been mostly related to the finnicky nature of java tooling and dependencies rather than the IDE itself.

One thing is that invoke-ai can be run via CLI or possibly programatically. I haven't found a good way to do that with the automatic GUI. Personally, I've also found features in automatic to be buggy. For example, batching seems t

Here is the study I am referring to [1]. As far as studies go, this one is fairly rigorous and of what I would consider to be high quality based on several factors related to the study design. This study in particular looked at early TR (6a

Yeah I'm not suggesting an order between the two. I think everything held constant, eating earlier is supposed to be better. I don't think there have been many studies where people stop eating at like, 10am, or something like that

I'll assume that your goal when drinking a protein shake/gaining muscle is to gain muscle. It's generally believed that a state of anabolism is generally viewed as being antagonistic to the body; too much protein/growth

Not sure how this study was designed; but it's been replicated probably dozens or hundreds of times that circadian-based eating schedules confer the best metabolic benefits. That is, the earlier the eating, the better the metabolic ben

I know that GPT-3 is not AGI nor modeled properly to ever represent what we would consider to be AGI; but this feels freakishly AGI-ish. This feels like the model is 'reasoning' in a way that I would not expect based on my intuiti

No argument from me; but I think the debate around this research is focused on what the biological effects are when one undergoes a prolonged period of grounding; i.e. for 8 hours during sleep, or several hours during the day, rather than f

Mercury does accumulate in the body but I was more pointing out that serum mercury levels can fluctuate greatly in a relatively short period. My mom eats a ton of that tuna from costco and had blood levels far above the reference range; whi

Ok sure.. but. Let's say you eat tuna every day for two months. You're likely to build up a significant amount of mercury in your body to the point where it's causing oxidative stress and antagonizing most major organ systems

If you go to the disclosures statement at the bottom of the article, you'll learn that one of the authors on this paper—Gaetan Chevalier (a cell biology prof at UC Irvine)—has a financial interest in promoting grounding. His contributi

I view that currently as a technical limitation that will likely be lifted as the technology progresses. Our species has been hard at work on the field of AI-image generation for only a decade, and we have thousands of years to go. So I wou

I think these are the right questions to ask; and these types of things would need to be studied in order to pose a potential solution. But I can't imagine any modern day institution beginning to pose these questions without facing pub

I think it is how the tech works; though. The model knows what a guinea pig looks like, and it knows what household chores looks like, so it can concatenate the two. I don't think the model knows how children look like unclothed, and I

The question of whether or not machine generated CP is ethical or not is a confusing one to me, since the crux of problem of CP is that it's violating the rights of a child. If you get rid of that fact, CP becomes a 'victimless cr

I would be surprised if he actually sent his messages to his bank as evidence; as idk, I would think his behavior would be incriminating, and my responses would cast a positive light on me, but what do I know. It's frustrating to think

This actually seems like a viable solution. Thank you so much; I am going to pursue this. And gosh, wish I was in Michigan!

More than just that; ischemic injury is one of the largest contributors to developing chronic kidney disease as well as the general decline of kidney function over time. So this would be relevant for the general populace as well.

The differences in treatment effect are in relation to the recipient's biological sex, so it's unnecessary to take gender preference into account.

AFAIK this has not been studied, but I would assume that nutrient absorption could feasibly vary with motility speed just like energy absorption. For example people with chronic diarrhea are usually deficient in several B vitamins especiall

Potatoes tend to be unhealthy via the methods that most people use to cook them [1] because of the formation of acrylamide, a potent carcinogen [2]. In fact potatoes are the food that delivers the highest amount of acrylamide in the America
