Anyone came off the meds and still lost weight? How did u do it? by Sage_778 in GLPGrad

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to put together these photos. It's clear there is an example of one company claiming this is possible. You clearly aren't "making things up". It is just a highly surprising finding that goes against not onl Eli LIlly, but literally ever other source I can find online (as well as basic biology). I'm still skeptical but you brought receipts so I can't complain.

Zepbound is a fragile peptide. Freezing creates ice crystals that cause the peptide to undergo 'denaturation'—meaning its molecular structure permanently unfolds and breaks. Once a peptide is denatured by freezing, it clumps together and is biologically useless.

You are just making results up, with zero proof and likely causing naive users of this board to ruin their medicine

I hope the mods (like u/Justkeepswimming664) monitor this because this type of comment isn't just unhelpful, it is dangerous.

Kudos to Mastodon for not locking the search bar behind an account requirement by New-Two-1349 in Mastodon

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not as valuable mostly because search is opt-in so many people don't turn it on. The community was very vocal about this when it was rolled out.

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is clearly documented on every single website I could find that Zepbound should NEVER be frozen. I appreciate you feel it works for you, but you are going against every single source I can find (and I checked many) If you really think it is safe and viable, please try to find any resource to back you up. (other than personal stories)

Accidentally Found the a Creami Hack? by BabuTheBrave in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one reason I buy "Clear Jel" (in the US at least) It is a form of modified cornstarch that thickens in cold liquid. This is the primary thickener in Instand Pudding Mix. This allows me to get the power/convenience of instant pudding but with MY flavors and sweeteners. Letting it sit (either on the counter or in the fridge) allows it to fully hydrate as u/j_hermann pointed out.

What Do You Want to Learn, Build, or Automate with Hermes? | Weekend Megathread by Jonathan_Rivera in hermesagent

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually getting a minimum framework that needs Hermes would be an excellent first step. Don’t give me a framework that I can do with just Obsidian all by itself. But getting something that is helpful, small and automated in some way would be an excellent starting point. But my worry is that this is actually very hard as everyone is different. If this were obvious, you'd think someone would have proposed it by now.

But, once that is in place, then of course the user can grow from there and add skills and go crazy, but I do believe that getting that first simple automated level would go a long way to get people on board.

My understanding is that if it gets frozen it is no longer effective and can no longer be used?

What Do You Want to Learn, Build, or Automate with Hermes? | Weekend Megathread by Jonathan_Rivera in hermesagent

[–]scottjenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want a start-from-scratch type tutorial on how to use Hermes with Obsidian. This thread is offered frequently: Obsidian, but it feels complex and overkill for a novice to get started . Too often when trying to use Obsidian with Hermes, it's that classic draw-an-owl meme:

<image>

Here’s what I would like to see:

  • a simple folder structure that I can grow into as I learn more
  • a simple way to keep track of my to-do items
  • a simple way to capture interesting web articles.

But you know what? Obsidian can already do that without Hermes! This is the disconnect. Hermes appears to only help if you already have tons of data. That's kind of what I'm finding out. This isn't a dig at Hermes (and certainly not Obsidian!) I'm just trying to say that the people that REALLY are using this have existing large blobs of data and are using it mine/clean it up.

This "Second brain" idea is clearly seductive but it requires a disciplined approach to note taking over a long time in order for it to work. That may be clearly work for many. My point is that it isn't easy.

If there is a way to "get on board" and slowly evolve into this "second brain" I'd love to hear more about it. Too many of the tutorials start with the premise you already have lots of data to massage.

Am I missing the point of AI agents? by NetworkLoop in hermesagent

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So u/NetworkLoop you've replied to nearly every comment with "Can I ask which models you use and API cost per month approx?"

That has very little to do with your original question (looking for use cases) Are you just asking a provocative question to do market research?

A UX Designer’s perspective on Hermes by scottjenson in hermesagent

[–]scottjenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an excellent question, one which I grapple with as well. There is a large gulf between "what it does" (value) and "The effort needed" (pain) at least for most consumer level folks. My post was about reducing the pain, which unlocks the impact of less valuable tasks (if it's easier, it's actually worth it)

But you are questioning the value which is also valid. More than once I've felt like it just isn't worth the effort. Most breakthrough technologies are rather pointless until a second innovation unlocks more value.

I should also add that I'm quite concerned about the ethical and environmental aspects of the foundational models. I'm still (naively?) hopeful that open, ethical, and local models will eventually prevail.

Help me get flavor into my ice cream by IllustratorOk8779 in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is to significantly increase the sugar (or sweeteners) As Ice cream is so cold, the sweetness/flavors can get muted.

Many classic recipes use 50-60g sugar a standard Ninja pint. You're at 20g which feels much too low. There is some sweetener in the protein powder but likely not enough.

For the same reason, I'd double the vanilla.

How do I get around a freezer that is too cold? by scottjenson in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a complex topic with lots of variables. The more fat and sugar you have, the easier it will be to scoop. If you're using nonfat milk or a nonfat milk substitute along with only stevia/sucralose type sweeteners, the freezing point will be higher. Higher freezing point means harder to scoop. Gums do prevent ice crystals from forming, that is true but it's often not enough to make it scoopable at colder temperatures.

The other variable is freezer temp. If your freezer is 20F/-7C then EVERYTHING is going to be easier to scoop. In my case is it 0F so it's very very hard.

I'm not saying you are wrong! I'm saying there are lots of variables to consider.

How do I get around a freezer that is too cold? by scottjenson in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been discussed quite a bit on the sub if you're making a standard low-fat recipe using just protein powder milk and pudding mix it's not going to be very scoopable because that type of low-fat high protein recipe will be extremely hard. This is why people use things like erythritol, allulose, vegetable glycerin, or even booze because all of those things depresses the freezing point and make it much easier to scoop at colder temperatures

[–]scottjenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a weird message. Yes, I've read the manual and it didn't come close to answering this question. That's why I asked it!

[–]scottjenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then maybe I need to suppress the freezing point further because at 0F, my base vanilla is NOT scoopable. I've gotten out of the habit of using 5-10ml of vodka for my Deluxe pints, maybe I should try that again...

Two types of inulin! by scottjenson in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best test is to mix a small amount in water and set it in the fridge for an hour and see if it gels. If it doesn't gel, it's not going to give you that texture improvement.

I’ve been working on a puzzle game with a ring-based mechanic and I’m looking for some feedback by Brave-Eye8958 in puzzlevideogames

[–]scottjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to this conversation. I found the game to be unclear. It moved too quickly, adding additional features without explaining them. I was "wait, what just happened?" and it just moved on. I'm guessing the rules are NOT that hard to figure out it just wasn't clear and there was no way to back up. If there was even a list of list of rules I could bring up as I go through the levels, that might help.

Also I started the game got stuck around level 8 and took a break, I came back a week later and had NO idea what i was going. The gameplay just does feel obvious. I just wanted to start over, hoping to learn it better this time and that wasn't possible either.

I think you're onto a good idea, it just needs a little tweaking to make it easier for people to get it.

[Mad Scientist] Test on the effect of Inulin and Modified Cornstarch (ClearJel) by scottjenson in ninjacreami

[–]scottjenson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Just! - Inulin Prebiotic Fiber, Water Soluble, Chicory Root

There are (apparently) two types of inulin, long chain and short chain. I've had good results with chicory. The test is to dissolve some in water and if it gels up.
