Isn't this the premise behind the movie Tron?

This isn't really sci-fi.

This is a normal trip to the emergency room with search and replace for sci-fi terms.

Me too!

It's a night and day difference.

If you don't try kagi for a while, you won't realize how much you've given up with Google.

I get so frustrated by finding the exact phrase I'm looking for on the third page of results after 99 paid results.

Or if I search for a specific brand and the first sponsored link is their competitor.

With kagi that all disappears. And you get search results that are ranked based on how well they match your search query.

Also, be sure to try their LLM research tools, and you'll get a taste of how great it could be.

He did speak a little distainfully of taking pictures of your pho or having your phone handy while eating.

I think the lack of pictures emphasizes focusing in the moment and enjoying the experience and then remembering it fondly later.

I for one can't wait to be a confident CodeSpeak programmer /sarc

Does this make it a 6th generation language?

I think it's an abdication of parental responsibility to let a child use Internet-connected devices without adult supervision.

Nothing connected to the Internet can protect children from seeing information they couldn't see (as determined by culture/familial mores), meeting potentially exploitative strangers, being exposed to a highly curated stream of marketing content and targeted AI messaging (including social media feeds).

I believe that Internet sites and apps should not have age controls.

I believe that physical Internet access (computer, phone, TV, etc) should require an adult ID to purchase (but not logged, like cigarettes, alcohol, etc) l and the the owner of the device is responsible for its use.

If they hand it over to a minor and they are harmed, then the original adult is liable (like alcohol).

This holds someone with material motive accountable. And it becomes jurisdiction-specific accountability (location of the device).

And in the case of parents, if they allow their kids to use one of the parent's devices then they are responsible for how the kid uses it. And directly responsible for how it's used, what's allowed and what's not.

You can't trust a mega+corp with protecting your kids.

Back to the OP, the hunger and satiety signals are very complicated and only partially driven by the digestive track.

I'm a fatty. I've lost a lot of weight but my body knows I used to be fat and it wants to be fat again.

A very potent signal for hunger or fatigue is when your fat cells get small i.e. you've burnt a lot of fat, and your little fuel cells are feeling empty. Each shrunken fat cell sends out a chemical "feed me" signal. And they are very very persuasive.

And the kicker is that when you fill them up, they want to be maintained at full. But if they're full too long, or get too full (persistently increase body fat by a few percent(, it triggers mitosis and you now have two half full fat cells who are both shouting "Feed me"

To add insult to injury when you lose weight, you don't kill off fat cells, you just have a bunch of really hungry fat cells shouting for a cheeseburger.

The nice thing about the GLP1 drugs is that they quiet the shouting. So you just don't get the demonic urge to feet all your wilting fat cells.

The bad thing about it is that the shouting is still there, and as soon as you quit the drug, you can get overwhelmed and go back to overeating and your weight and percent body fat go right back up

I think when you're in an energy deficit (aka losing weight), your body will attempt to reduce energy demand by metabolizing materials from the body.

It prefers to power the body from stored glycogen (carbohydrates), next it will try to metabolize stored fat, next it will go for protein sources (muscle and other tissues). In extreme deficits, it'll even start consuming material from the digestive track and other important stuff.

Many people lose weight, get stronger, get faster and surprisingly lose muscle mass at the same time.

But you can prevent that by eating enough protein, adding strength training, not overtraining or extreme deficit, fueling your workouts with carbohydrates, getting high-quality sleep, and minimizing non-meal, non-workout related simple carbohydrates.

#TLDR When you walk down the street, your body is doing all these things mostly carbs, some fat and a little protein. When you start pushing yourself, you burn more energy but in similar ratios. After about 90 minutes or at higher levels of effort, you'll shift to burning more fat and even more protein if you reach ketosis, as your body conserves remaining carb stores for important stuff like thinking.

AND as you exercise, especially as you reach your strength thresholds, you incur damage in your muscles. When you have your recovery meal/drink with carbohydrates after your workout , especially when resting, the insulin spike, triggers your body to consume protein to rebuild your muscles and add more mass/strength.

But if your workouts don't include enough strength training, your body may not get the anabolic muscle building signal, and it may instead focus on reducing weight (via fat and muscle), or increasing nutrient and oxygen flow to the muscles (building hemoglobin, growing capillaries), increasing muscle activation and engagement (new neural pathways), and/or increasing energy creation capacity (growing more mitochondria or expressing more efficient chemical pathways).

Which is why you can get faster, stronger with smaller muscles.

So my recipe for building muscle while losing fat: * Strength train each muscle group in sets of about 10 for 80 reps per week (I shoot for 2 days, whole body, 4 sets of 10 reps). * Prepare for every workout with some carbohydrates and electrolytes * For workouts lasting more than 90 min, especially cardio/endurance, begin consuming carbs at 30 min and consume 90-12g/hr for high intensity (Zone 3 or higher) * Try to consume 2g of whole protein per kg of target body weight. Or 4g per kg of lean body mass. YMMV. these are all rules of thumb. * Wake up at the same time every day, and prepare for bed 9-10 hours before you have to wake up (have a last snack, some water, turn out the overhead lights, start relaxing) so that by the time bedtime rolls around you can fall asleep quickly and get 7.5-9.5 hours of quality sleep

If you're really hitting it hard and you've induced severe muscle fatigue, bump up the protein intake and get more rest and recovery time.

Microplane for the win, and get the minced garlic into the oil as fast as possible. Once the crushed garlic is exposed to air it's flavor starts to change quickly. Planing directly into the oil and stirring it in to coat the particles as quickly as possible preserves the bright spicy flavor of the garlic.

Yes, just like those convenient parking spaces and seats in the tube

Same.

I don't even think that's a dark pattern, just a stupid pattern
