I had never even considered gluten, but I've been dealing with those exact issues for years as well. I'm going to give it a try.

Would you say it was actually noticeable in just a few days?

Thank you for posting this, btw. I've been feeling pretty hopeless about it and even if it ultimately doesn't work, at least I have a new avenue to try.

I'm pretty sure no one is going to be hunting down NDA infractions on HN unless the poster is silly enough to give specifics about the workplace and time at which they solved the problem. If it takes some kind of investigative work to piece together the most basic details, I think that's within the terms of most NDAs anyway.

Vurtually anyone saying "left wing Marxists" in the US, in reference to an organized movement, is full of shit and/or fully captured by the American propaganda waves still echoing from the the red scare era of the 1940s and 50s. These people are the type to call literally any social safety net "communist".

America has been pulled so far to the right in the last 70+ years that the average voter now seems to think 'the left' starts at authoritarian communism.

You need to take a break from the internet for a while. You're getting far too worked up over a passing comment. It clearly wasn't dismissive of the content and, as pointed out, OP immediately followed the comment by talking about the content (I.e. saying it's a decent summary).

Some of us think that anything created by an AI should be labeled as such. Is that an inherently evil belief?

It is a little dumbfounding to compare the seeming emotionality/outrage of your posts with that which spurred it.

If we get that far, I see it happening more like...

"Don't worry Majesty, all of our models show that the peasants will not resort to actual violence until we fully wind down the bread and circuses program some time next year. By then we'll have easily enough suicide drones ready. Even better, if we add a couple million more to our order, just to be safe, we'll get them for only $4.75 per unit, with free rush shipping in case of surprise violence!"

Basically, they just need to mash the tribalism button until enough people are dead to suit them.

Maybe because they must remain as the final scapegoat. If the aiCEO screws up, it'll bring too much into question the decision making behind implementing it. If the regular CEO screws up, it'll just be the usual story.

(for others like myself)

The literature search identified 415 articles; of these, 15 ecological studies were included in the synthesis. The random-effects meta-analysis showed a consistent protective (or inverse) association between lithium levels/concentration in publicly available drinking water and total (pooled β = −0.27, 95% CI −0.47 to −0.08; P = 0.006, I2 = 83.3%), male (pooled β = −0.26, 95% CI −0.56 to 0.03; P = 0.08, I2 = 91.9%) and female (pooled β = −0.13, 95% CI −0.24 to −0.02; P = 0.03, I2 = 28.5%) suicide mortality rates. A similar protective association was observed in the six studies included in the narrative synthesis, and subgroup meta-analyses based on the higher/lower suicide mortality rates and lithium levels/concentration.

Thank you for using "turgidly" as such. You've given me a new appreciation for the term.

I know it's overused and incorrectly applied, but I can't get past the thought that the people doing this have a silent, burning mentality of "Rule 1: You don't talk about fight club!"

I'm in the same boat. In my case it's especially disturbing because prior to this whole gestures broadly thing, we had nuanced debates on many topics. Now, he just dismisses everything as 'narratives' if he disagrees with it.

Sadly, it seems to be based on the propaganda style I've seen out of authoritarians in general. It doesn't hurt 'their side' to break everything down to narratives, because at the end of the day, you just have to swallow the current one and you don't have to think about it again.

In another way it seems almost like a form of burnout. Like 'fuck this, I'm settling on cognitive ease from now on'.

Indeed, but that's a different choice than the original. If leaving my house isn't an option for me, the subsequent options entailed are then off the table, so to speak. The OP said "always" and "in every way", and I was pointing out that there are many exceptions, depending on many factors.

Yeah, if you break it down further into the set of all possible options, but it depends what my criteria/realistic choices are. If I'm not going to or can't leave my house, then the more convenient option is still the better one.

My exception was to the terms "always" and "in every way".

Definitely not "always" and "in every way".

Random example. I buy a meal made by a professional chef and have it delivered. It's more convenient and it's a much better meal than I could make. It's more expensive, sure, but that's not 'in every way'

Interesting article/excerpt, but like >95% of it is disconnected from the title. The first half is basically a historical tale relating where the word 'money' comes from.

TLDR:

- A single list of names from 115 AD/CE reveals that about half the people at the mint were slaves.

- The dies used were hand cut with simple chisel tools and no magnification (lenses) available, so they must have been masters of the craft who would probably become nearsighted by the end of their careers.

- It took 3 people to actually stamp each coin (1 for upper die, 1 for lower die, 1 to hammer), so there were likely many teams of 3 in the mint, given the amount of coins produced.

Isn't the point of providing the data to give bidders a reason to bid (no point in bidding outside their market)? If so, that would give all data to any bidder, as claimed above.

Regarding proportionality, don't they always get the info of the bids they win? If so, what you're saying is that you only get the info of bids won.

Just to play devil's advocate, perhaps it has already been done (multiple people have won more than one ’1 in XX million chance' lotteries). And perhaps none of those who have the capability of something that specific/difficult (I.e. masters of the craft) want or care to have people know how real their abilities are.

I think it's all bullshit, but it doesn't hurt to play the other side sometimes.

I replaced Evernote with Joplin about 5ish years ago. It was super easy in my case, so maybe it's worth checking into. I haven't used the desktop app recently, but it was always snappier than evernote at the very least.

From the little I've read and watched regarding animal intelligence, it's typically mentioned that the brain-to-body size ratio is more important/correlated to estimated intelligence than brain size alone. It seems to help explain things like the outsized intelligence of certain smaller animals (e.g. corvids), but it also seems to only be a partial explanation.
