The choice happens implicitly rather than explicitly. If Claude tries an approach and hits a wall, it'll try a different approach. If an API call keeps not working, it'll choose a different API. It a tool is broken, it'll use something else. If it can't find docs nor read the code, it'll try to implement functionality from scratch. If you give it messy tools with confusing docs, you'll notice Claude not calling them as you'd expect, and instead trying something simpler instead.

I think the content-centric model you are describing has been alive and thriving since at least the late 70s in Emacs.

Do you have any references or examples that describe how this simplification would come about? Would love to learn more about it.

Depends on what you mean by "improvements". Is it coordination? Is it sustained increased blood flow?
I would imagine that different bike exercise regimens could induce more variation in fitness than the comparison dance vs exercise alone.

One can always find positive and negative outcomes related to any intervention to a biological system. Fasting is no exception.
The question is when and where is it beneficial, and what are the trade-offs. I'm sure if one has a clean, healthy diet, and consistent sleep and routine, it likely does not matter in the long run at what time one decides to eat or not eat. If the effect size were noticeable we'd have seen it already in smaller samples.
If one is overeating, or eating garbage all the time, then I'd hypothesize fasting to be beneficial by giving the biological system a break to try and bring itself back to a better steady-state without so much forced external input.

This keeps coming up. Is this depth story not simple to fact check with simulations? Are we missing something?

Nice. Love vim too, but letting go of org mode is too much of a negative to justify a switch.
I know I could use Emacs just for org mode, and vim for everything else, but that seems like even more overhead.

I appreciate that people are looking into this, and I think more research of this kind should be funded.
However, one needs to be cautious when claiming an "impairment" in fear regulating regions from a measure of cortical thickness with MRI. For once, there is no evidence that a slightly thinner or larger cortical thickness means better or worse regulation of any kind.
Second, morphology studies are susceptible to many sources of biases which are not really addressed in this study. For example, anything that affects hydration levels or causes a redistribution of blood and cerebral spinal fluid volume can lead to significant changes in measures of cortical thickness, since they will change the contrast between gray and white matter that drive cortical thickness measurements.
Changes in thickness have been found even when comparing people scanned in the morning and in the evening [1]. Any drug intervention could be expected to cause physiological changes that could act as confounds. Also, in the discussion one reads: "Interestingly, no lasting effects of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) use were detected when comparing the four groups." This suggests that the changes could be driven by physiological changes instead of permanent changes in brain circuitry.
It would be great to see a follow up study controlling for potential confounding effects (for example, measuring baseline perfusion, blood pressure and controlling for time of day effects and usage of other drugs), and expanding the study with functional tests that involve fear regulation.

Does anyone know why the decision to ban it? Was it a move that had a relatively higher injury rate compared to other high difficulty moves?

Because we can safely assume that under normal atmospheric conditions and within the distances we are talking about, light travels in straight lines and the SUV is too high thus blocking some of it from reaching the drivers eyes. I can't pull the sources now, but there was a study discussed here on HN a couple months ago showing an analysis of how this plays out.

Name your frames and the problem is solved. I for instance love the model because I no longer have to be tracking down millions of filenames - just one for each project.

Saw this on a separate thread the other day:
"Get some weights. Pick up the weights. Put down the weights. Eat healthy food." There is no real secret. No need for a gym to do those.
But now more seriously - I'd suggest just getting a pull up bar. You can then do pull-ups in addition to push-ups, squats and some core work, and that'll hit all of the main muscle groups. You can do that at home.

You may not see any progress, but that doesn't mean there isn't any.
You are perfecting the moves you are making, and strengthening your bones, ligaments and tendons, which just don't develop nearly as fast as muscles.
Staying at a plateau for a while is sometimes great to avoid injury.
