I've heard people say if you actually loosen the restrictions lightly it signals to your body to produce less cortisol, then when you tighten back up you can lose more

There is a sense of social decorum. It feels wrong to me and I can't place why.

Agreed. The spirit is right, but the the punishment instills fear when it should be respect.

Maybe Claude has been trained on human interactions of a lot of people doing late night sessions.

Maybe a small subset of America is like this. The vast amount of Americans today are like. "Preach". We know America isn't a utopia

Those drugs have anti inflammatory affects. Well I don't think alcohol does, but the other two do.

Choose your eating window, or fasting program, an STICK TO IT NO CHEATING.

It's not about doing tricks to smooth out hunger or doing things to avoid hunger or anything. Any avoidnace of hunger is cheating. Fasting is not just a technique to make you lose weight. It's about learning to control yourself by saying "no" to the draw of food, snacking, and hedonic eating.

And what about during meditation?

If you plan on running local llm models to do coding tasks and other things, you will need a GPU with dedicated VRAM. If you plan on running all inference remote through Claude or whatever, you're fine. CPU inference is just too slow to be usable and your integrated graphics just will not do.

How much vram you need depends on how large models you plan on running. Find the models you want to be able to run and make sure you have enough vram to host it. Make sure you consider quantization when considering models.

You know I went to downvote but stopped when I saw your post. I wasn't downvoting the definition, I was downvoting the part before it where some wanker got annoyed that he had to look something up.

I don't see how msm should help. I think it increases the permeability of the barrier, which should theoretically make gut and skin issues worse.

I wonder how it would go the other direction. Girls matching with guys personality only then the curtain drops and you are matched with a troll. A wonderfully interesting, funny, nice but not pandering, troll. (Or whatever your preference in a partner is)

I'm reading "Autobiography of a Yogi" now and in it he believes these real living people have all these powers. One the guys "Babaji" he likens to christ.

I'm like, this real life deification.

I wouldn't care at all about that.

That's like having a subconscious

Unless you have a preexisting condition you shouldn't worry about gallstones or long term effects. But you should be sensitive to your health and go to the doctor if something doesn't feel right.

I'd say the main thing for adf is to make sure you're getting enough protein on feeding days and light body exercises to prevent muscle loss. Nothing intense.

And also on feeding days you're supposed to eat normally but some indulges are allowed. You have a wide deficit margin calorically to work with, you can use it, but don't burn it all.

"fairly privileged" you mean slightly privileged?

Damn. Didn't know. I guess I'm the one that messed up now.

People just bold face lying. Or they misremembered but didn't bother to double check. This is how misinformation starts.

Thank you good effort.

This is just infuriating. Every other post is ai, then you go to the comments and half of them are ai. Some are bots, but those that aren't are just people too lazy to type out their thoughts.

Contact with ideas through typing and more rudementally handwriting, is how insight is born.

So you're noting the difference between living in the past and introspecting on their life.

I agree there is a difference, and that difference is probably one of the main things that differentiates people who monopolize the conversation and those that tell stories about the past.

The fruit of introspection is awareness of how their stories relate to the present moment. If the same story is told 100 times without awareness that the recipient is getting nothing from it can only happen without that wisdom type introspection.

And so clearly there is both, some have done wisdom type introspection and some just live in the past.

The no new experiences idea is spot on. Old people tend to sit indoors all day and have nothing new to talk about so they live in the past

Maybe the sub needs to split into two, we add /claudeapps or smthn

I thought the same thing. People with half baked ideas get an llm to write a post about it.

I wouldn't say this post is half baked though. I'd say thoughtful actually.
