Oh! This is such a lightbulb comment for me. I distinctly remember growing up with the wobbly side springs, and then after the motor died switching to a “screw driven” system and those going away. Ever since I’ve only seen the “screw driven

Carbs are vital for nutrient partitioning and uptake and this is why every serious athlete manipulates carb feeding, and bodybuilders especially play with insulin, etc. People were always mixing maltodextrin into their intra and post workou

Olestra! I ate a whole bag of the Lay’s with Olean as a kid. They had the audacity to say that they assumed that people would only eat a handful at a time. Of near zero calorie potato chips that taste like potato chips…

Orlistat. Look at Alli — very available to buy. A very common side effect is steatorrhea. Oily leakage/poops. But not like, “oops I gotta run to the bathroom” but like, a tiny bear down and oil shoots out your bum. There is a clear war

I guess that’s why investors bake in protection against singles and doubles. Basically, give me my market returns if you’re not going to hit a homer so that I don’t need to keep shoveling cash and can spend my time and money on the remainin

I’d argue the internet is much bigger to date. In the future, who knows — anything getting closer to AGI would be bigger possibly but still built on the backbone of computers and the internet.

I second this request. Specifically, for a lot of applications, native-language "good enough" might not suffice (a dental office with English speaking employees and predominantly English speaking customers), but between a stilted

I think the extent to which writers have to get creative in finding sources for novel pieces is taken for granted. I did not realize how tactical and painstaking the process is to create the content that I casually skim and enjoy. So I stre

Historically ML is a sub field within the study of AI. So are a lot of even more mundane techniques. So, if the hit word to describe things is AI, and the shoe fits, wear it!

I’d be curious what legalizing weed has done to the number of people who tried it for the first time or went from non use to occasional use. I say this because the addiction/safety/outcome of many of these “harder” drugs means tha

FB is still surprisingly strong in growing markets. But that translating to business means those markets see drastic increases in spending power, which we’ve been awaiting for many years. It’s up, but nowhere near parity with western market

I’m pretty sure he walked into a real tourney and took gold. He’s also at least a blue belt in bjj, which means he’s competent [0]. Also, being terrifying doesn’t mean much if you can’t back it up, and vice versa. I’m curious, what martial

The wheel in FSD is hard to take control over and when you do it goes absolutely slack leading to an overcorrection. Even after having my car for years it still does a wiggle when this happens. Not sure if that’s what you’re saying shouldn’

I was hired at $300+, weeks before the plunge. It wasn’t fun realizing that pushing my start date would have pushed the issuance to the lower price.

Uhhh, when the deal is for a $55bn package, an executive should pay a lawyer to make sure that that sentence is included, and ideally that it’s truthful if included. Delaware is the most shareholder friendly state for business and has so mu

Well, when I’m doing something and I need a timer, especially cooking and my hands are occupied or dirty, rummaging for a timer to manually set makes no sense when I should have a voice assistant on my wrist/in earshot.

I'm just waiting for Siri to reliably set timers when I'm cooking. Between my watch and my phone, it's a damn nightmare to actually do the most basic thing with what should be a ubiquitous AI platform. They've had ages t

I actually agree with the substance of this comment, but want to point out that the word "startup" doesn't apply here. Presto has been around since 2008, when it was selling table side tablets to restaurants. After years play

If you’ve ever had pancreatitis you can’t take this (me) because it increases overall risk of having an episode. If you’re unlucky like me and have a predisposition for pancreatitis or gallbladder issues, this can push you over the edge int

Piquant works in English too. Just rarely used and so that wont help in most circumstances.

Do you really think kids in school sit silently and motionless in class for several hours? I’d invite you to sample any classroom to test that hypothesis. There are many reasons to suppose schools aren’t the best for socialization, but that

1) isn’t being entirely fair. MDs or any other practitioner are generally restricted by what they can bill insurance since only a minority of patients opt for concierge care. So if insurance allows for “X minutes for Y service”, that’s what

You need a sprint specific coach. Most coaches and clubs you’ll find start at middle distance and go up in distances they train. While you’ll learn basic drills that sprinters also do, the details, cues, form etc will be different, and the

In South Asia/diaspora/influenced cuisines, mutton = goat. This is a good tip to keep in mind for South Asian halal butchers too. Mine in the US proudly sells mutton which is goat.

I think that's very common in South Asian languages. Same goes for uncles and aunts. You just extend the family outwards and carry relations with as much fidelity as you can. So a lot of "brothers/sisters/uncles/aun

It gets even more complex when there are regional and family differences in the naming schema. For example, my cousins on my moms side and dads sides respectively use different words for some relations, and then they sometimes use an entire

Hinduism doesn’t have “karmic credit points” and this is a misconception. Karma is the output of the totality of your life and its measurement is cosmically obscured. You can, however, be granted awesome boons by the various deities for ext
