  • I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

    You might enjoy something similar if

    • You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
    • Don’t like being sore after workouts
    • Enjoy simple workouts

    Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

    That’s kind of an odd question. I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I’ve never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I’ve never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don’t see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

    How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

    If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It’s a paid app.





  • I bake quite a bit and I don’t do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that’s not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it’s a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I’ll just have the ingredients list open while I’m doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

    I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says “add flour”, you know that it’s all the flour. If the recipe says “add flour (1 cup)”, then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that’s all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you’re cooking.





  • Valid opinion on the phrasing. Disagree with the premise that anything someone says is necessarily their opinion.

    Example: “For me, potatoes are easier to peel with a knife than a potato peeler” vs “Potatoes are easier to peel with a knife than a potato peeler”. The former says that this is my experience and yours may differ. The latter says that this is true in general and if you find it easier the other way, there’s a good chance you’re doing something wrong.





  • LLMs cannot:

    • Tell fact from fiction
    • Accurately recall data from its training set
    • Count

    LLMs can

    • Translate
    • Get the general vibe of a text (sentiment analysis)
    • Generate plausible text

    Semantics aside, they’re very different skills that require different setups to accomplish. Just because counting is an easier task than analysing text for humans, doesn’t mean it’s the same it’s the same for a LLM. You can’t use that as evidence for its inability to do the “harder” tasks.






  • I never implied that we didn’t. I’m telling you that we can always measure something and asking you to clarify which of these measurements constitute brainwave activity. Is the activity in the ovum a brainwave? Is it after the first signs of a notochord? After the notochord disappears completely? First cell to differentiate to eventually become part of the neural tube? When the neural tube starts bulging out? When there’s enough bulging to see three district vesicles? Or five? Appearance of the first neuron? Or when neurogenesis stops? Or when the nervous system is sufficiently developed to take control of certain bodily functions? Or the activity when the nervous system is “fully developed” as an adult? Or something else?
