Some other posters have noted there are apps for broad personal data, but this is a whole other level that I think could be super valuable for those who want to build a scheme as they go. The blocker for me is that it’s not an app - if I’m

I think humans can do fine on carbs, but I think you’d need to provide a citation stating our expected requirements are “vastly overestimated”. Furthermore, we do all kinds of problematic things to our grains in America.

I have. That’s kinda my original point. I think there isn’t as much of a causal connection between energy and diet/exercise as people think. It’s the solution for some people, but many people need get their energy back before they can

How long before you started seeing benefits? Because I gave up after about 6 months of HIIT/diet.

How do you know you don’t have the causality link backwards? Eg you are able to do HIIT and eat well because you naturally have good energy that not everyone has?

It’s definitely used as a generic slur, but there is a need to call out the problematic parts of tech culture that have led to some of our recent problems with social media, privacy, bias, etc. I don’t know of any terminology that hasn’t be

While there are people chasing fame, artists trying to reach a huge audience aren’t always doing it for fame. When you have to make a choice between pursuing creativity and eating, I’m pretty sure I know which you’ll pick. There is a path t

I like the idea of associating open source being a safety measure for the same reason we are open about our cryptography solutions. Having the implementation specifics out in the open drives a vetting process that no single corporation coul

Are you referring to fears that AI will make decisions for us that take away our control of our lives? Because that is happening as a consequence of the drive to lower the costs of making those decisions. Right now that drive is pushed by c

This article goes way overboard. While some of the things referenced are ridiculous, the author is really misinterpreting many of the guides here, to a point where it feels like willful misinterpretation. For instance. > If we don’t know
