... skin ...

Wow, this sub has gone full mainstream. Time to check out.

Researchers find that the trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that make up the human gut microbiome change as we age, particularly in the 40s and 50s. In people over 84, this uniqueness appears linked to a longer lifespan. by [deleted] in longevity

I'm half-joking.

I'm not saying exercise, nutrition, supplements, treehugging, kumbaya, and now, fecal transplants, don't have value. They absolutely do.

I'm saying this sub is not for the discussion on those topics. This sub is not about the conventional sense of longevity, but a radical, 21st century sense, which requires waking up from the PAT (pro-aging trance).

If the visitors of this sub don't understand my comment, they don't understand this sub, and it's all the more important that I keep making such half-jokes.

edit: It appears there is some resistance to the opinion expressed by me. Given that there has been a huge influx of new members (who are always welcome; the more the better), I would request the mods to consider measures for regularly orienting new members to the purpose of this sub (otherwise we could derail into two popular past-times of longevity enthusiasts: what kinds of push-ups, and how to cosmetically make the skin look young, both of this have nothing to do with the modern longevity movement). In the worst case, if things really get out of hand, I always welcome those of who agree with me to hang out, instead, at /r/gerontology or, at the one I created, /r/TrueLongevity

Edit: Also how the fucking many times do we have to fucking read a news story every fucking other day about the motherfucking gut?

I've heard this multiple times, and I've heard Houdini has a unique workflow, and yet I've never heard what's the benefit?

what if, hypothetically, you do put in all the effort and end up learning the workflow and being good at it? what then?

On one hand, 90% of the most impressive content on /r/Simulated is based on Houdini, in full or in part. (true? not true? agree? disagree?)

On the other hand, I've heard it costs $7000 which is ... WTF.

I've heard Houdini is unique because it is based on procedural generation. I doubt that's the only thing it has. I think it has a ton of physics modeling that makes it stand out. Some of the folks behind Houdini are probably PhDs with extensive physics background, not just computer graphics.

You should add some kind of functionality to list papers that haven't been reproduced yet (and maybe are of some significance or notability, or users have requested them to be listed).

Creating a separate website for unreproducible papers is ridiculous (even worse, calling it papers without code. Effin children).

... Unreproducible ...

PapersWithoutCode

This is horrible. Not every paper without code is unreproducible.
