People want to find the secret to living with joy in their lives. Someone who “quits caffeine” has enough mindfulness to have noticed something wasn’t quite right in their life and they had the courage to try and change it. That mindset right there is the key to reducing stress. It’s not caffeine (unless you’re consuming a lot), it’s a perspective and framing thing. Daily coffee ritual can absolutely be a part of a routine that has been having negative affects on your state of mind, but it’s much more complex than “caffeine is a drug and it’s bad for you”.


A lot of actual research is being done on how gut microbiota affects inflammation, disease, immune system. Obviously health is a complicated subject that includes genetics and environment.


>That's a statement of faith.

Aren’t all decisions based on probability and statistics (science and medicine) “faith” based?


I think this is a common superstition among surfers waiting for a set to roll in


I just began the 5/3/1 strength training method. I’d like to use gymnastic rings for most of my accessory work to try and get a nice balance of strength and flexibility.


5/3/1 is good, but it's not a novice programme. It's more intermediate. I started on 5/3/1 and did OK but would have got stronger faster at the start of my lifting if I had followed the Novice Linear Progression in Starting Strength.

One the "newbie (strength) gains" are tapped out though 5/3/1 is an excellent programme.


I've also seen older people use 5/3/1 when they are unable to recover as quickly from linear progression routines.


I tried 5/3/1 in college and I after week 4, I felt like you need to be juicing to keep up with it.


What were you eating? Were you trying to stay lean at the same time?


I didn't diet, which probably didn't help. I had an unlimited meal plan in college, but didn't take full advantage of it.


Yeah, eating and sleeping loads helps.


No.


What? If you start light like Wendler recommends, the program is completely manageable. In fact, most people I know think there is too little training volume at first. I used it for several months in a row a few years ago and it led to great strength gains in every lift.


What styles are you making? I made a dandelion flower dry mead and it tastes decent after 6 months but feels flabby. I’m experimenting with adding some acid to balance it out.


Traditionals, just testing different honey varieties. I've just barely started, first batch hasn't even done aging yet.

Dandelion, eh? Consider sharing on /r/mead, you will fit right in :)


Maybe I misunderstood the op, but isn’t the mechanical faucet and our body’s temperature receptors this “fine control with feedback loop”?


Indeed, and to take the UI a step further, humans often prefer automation, if it works reliable. A complicated UI would become simple, just step into the shower.


There’s no complicated UI. You just turn a knob that sets a digital temperature readout.

If you want the shower to save your temperature preferences and start automatically, there’s no reason to build in a computer capable of running an AI.

But in reality you almost certainly don’t want a system like this because you don’t want an AI accidentally turning on your shower when you’re not home, when you do ok to clean it, or grab a razor, or when your toddler wanders in.

Granted an AI could try to determine intent, but it’s never going to get it 100% right. Which is why for physical systems like this you almost always want a physical button to signal intent.


I thought attribution is required only if you redistribute the code. That’s why saas businesses don’t need to attribute when using open source code on their backend. Maybe a similar concept could be used for training data. I’m far from an expert so this is just a thought.


ChatGPT does redistribute the code, it's essentially the same issue as someone reading proprietary sources or GPL sources on a proprietary project, because they aren't abiding by the license they are breaking the terms. there is no possibility of clean room implementations with ChatGPT


> ChatGPT does redistribute the code

My whole point is that I don't think that's legally true at the moment. There's enough difference in how generative AI works compared to pretty much anything before it that what ChatGPT legally does is up for debate. If a court rules that what ChatGPT does counts as redistribution then yes, I agree that they're likely violating copyright law, but AFAIK that ruling hasn't happened yet.


This is the wrong way to look at it. This comes in the same line of saying "we need a new license for AI" argument. There is nothing stopping an LLM/AI from abiding the license. The OSS license can be used by AI's or LLM's as long as they comply with the terms.

A license exist with terms. You can abide the terms and use it. It doesn't matter whether an AI, a person or an alien from a distant planet is using it. They can follow the terms. This is not a technical challenge but arrogance to abide.

Also, are you saying a model like chatgpt can do so much complex tasks and text processing but can't recognise an OSS license text of 20ish lines?


I am not sure I can agree. What is stopping them from using only permissive license and adding attribution for all the licenses in a single long page? Nothing. This is not a technical issue.


For the record, I don’t care what tech they decided to use, but I don’t see why the features you listed couldn’t be implemented with ESP32. Sounds like a fun project actually.


Potatoes are far from nutritionally complete. They’re missing complete proteins, essential fatty acids, and other vitamins/micro nutrients.

Great to have in a short term famine, but definitely not for surviving long term.

For all of 2016, Andrew Taylor ate only potatoes. There were a few caveats to his potato diet: He ate both white potatoes and sweet ones, and sometimes mixed in soymilk, tomato sauce, salt and herbs. He also took B12 supplements. But, overall, he ate potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He took four blood tests over the year which he claims all came back normal. He even lost weight and felt more energized.
