from the comments on the blog; couldn't this issue be solved by prime-prompting it with instructions to always lay out its steps before answering? this way the answer wouldn't be 'tainted' by the first few words being the wrong answer.


Have you considered just duplicating an existing business in a still growing market and then hiring a PPC/seo marketing agency? You don't have to invent anything new perse, and you absolutely need professional marketing in most cases.


i just checked this and i'm still verified. i'm in europe though.


I'm also still verified. But I also pulled out all my assets. I don't believe Binance to be on the brink of bankruptcy, but better safe than sorry.


First up, best dressed


Take your money out while you still can.


of course, statistically, for everyone high-profile assassination there will be people who a. don't agree with the prevailing narrative and b. die under strange circumstances. but how would you determine the mean and variance for such a thing?


That's hard to say, but there's just too many strange coincidences with regards to JFK. And the list of them just keeps growing.


Just like with Hillary


And Abraham


Do any mathematicians around here know if this is a special case of Gödel's incompleteness theorem [1]?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_...


I'd say yes insofar, that it's clearly a case of Rice's theorem. Whether such a backdoor is contained in a program is a non-trivial property and therefore generally undecidable.

All the other theorems (Gödel, Church, Tarski, Turing) are basically the same if you squint your eyes hard enough.


Have been using this for the better part of the year, probably the best backtest and live platform I've seen. Love it!


My grandfather who lived through the Dutch famine in world war 2 did fine buying food with gold while people were eating flower bulbs and grass, so in that case at least it worked.


What worked for me was a LOT of tiny things. There was a post on HN where someone kept a journal of what they ate, how they slept and their weight. Turns out sleep was the most important factor in weight loss by far. This seems to be the case for me too. So, the most important things in my experience, not in order of importance because theyre all necessary:

* enough sleep, if you don't sleep enough you get extreme hunger pangs and all the other tricks will be useless.

* strength training every other day. it reduces your hunger by a lot and doesn't have to take long or very be intense at all, 2-3 sets of 5 pullups is enough for me and can be done in 10m or less.

* skip breakfast. this doesnt work for some people, so if it doesn't, just go to 4.

* eat small meals, you can feel satiated from 250-300kcal so have that every time you eat, max 550 kcal for dinner.

* count calories and make sure you eat around 500 kcal under your TDEE, calculate yours at tdeecalculator.net

* your weight fluctuates 2 kg in either direction constantly, only when it moves beyond that there's been a significant gain or loss.

* eat more protein, you feel full quicker

* drink as much of your 0 kcal soft drink as you want, it's 0 kcal and can get you through tough moments.

* have one or two cheat days every week and just eat whatever you want, i did this and kept losing weight throughout.

* have go-to instant or low effort meals with the right amount of kcal and preferably high protein ready at all times, you want to conserve as much will power as possible.

* be kind to yourself.

that is all.


The idea that an all-out nuclear war will trigger a civilization-ending nuclear winter has been on shaky ground for a while now. It appears the likelihood of it happening to such a degree was based on the political/idealist desire to reduce the nuclear stockpile. [1][2]

For a more realistic view of nuclear war and its survivability, check out [2] (with a foreword by Edward Teller and author's note by Eugene Wigner of Wigner's friend fame).

I agree nuclear winter might not occur or not be all that impactful, however you still will have mass starvation as all supply chains will just disappear, including fuel for power plants. Cities will not be able to supply food and sustain themselves unless in very rare and specific scenarios.

One way or another not a fun place to live


With things like the Iron Dome and Patriot Missile System I'm certain the US has the capability to knock some number of incoming nuclear weapons out of the sky. People in rural and even suburban areas in the US will probably be fine, maybe lose a few years life expectancy due to cancers and the like.


Lack of insulin, antibiotics medical expertise.

That will take a higher toll then you might expect


Exactly, I would recommend spending a few thousand on a good PPC marketing agency and let them set up your marketing. You might be amazed at what this would accomplish since your product seems fine.


"100% churn" doesn't sound like a product that is fine and just needs more marketing.


This is exactly the moment I figured out this version is dead. At first I was thinking "ok I have a good product and now all I need are more folks in the top of funnel" but when all users chured out within 60-90 days... adding more marketing wasn't going to save it.


I'd be interested in hearing of any experience or recommendations. If you have them available, please do send me a message.


very interested if you know how to find a good agency for this as well. please DM/message if you can, thanks
