Here's a neat demonstration of this https://www.schulz-hildebrandt.com/9-purple-dots-illusion/ (I find the effect works much better on my phone screen than desktop)

I clicked the link fully expecting 'Coptic Magic' to be some obscure software framework, and 'Angels' some new feature in it.

Wensleydale is a place in Yorkshire, and a style of cheese, not specific to any one brand, so you could.

It looks like this study is not just about the effects from the soluble fiber in oats though, but their specific effects on the microbiome.

2kg in 2 days doesn't sound unreasonable at all. Glycogen and water loss from the calorie restriction will do that, along with maybe better bowel regularity from the fiber. Nobody is claiming they lost 2kg of body fat.

Sampling an implicit function on a grid shifts you to the world of voxel processing, which has its own strengths and weaknesses. Further processing is lossy (like with raster image processing), storage requirements go up, recovering sharp e

As a non American some of these numbers are just mind boggling. Only putting the warning on drinks with more than 50g of added sugar, a 'medium' Dr Pepper with 67g of sugar and a large with 96g.

I don't think they do, people move around and swap seats. I expect they just find the losses small enough to write off. I was once travelling shortly after being issued a new debit card, but still had the old one in my wallet and used

I often enjoy movies that are unexpected and don't fit neatly into one established genre, but I think these tend to get lower audience ratings, while films that deliver to expectations do better, even if most of a randomly selected aud

When cutting potatoes into chunks, for something like a stew, I often find myself thinking about this problem, and how I would write a program for a robot to do it. They are fairly well approximated as ellipsoids of different sizes. Typical

That was one part of the article I found questionable- "If the body needs salt, those chips will cause a surge of pleasurable dopamine to flood the brain. If the body doesn’t need salt, that dopamine drip disappears" Surely this

Don't statins calcify plaques? So presumably being on statins would raise the score?

That was not my experience at all when I used to drink, and I don't think I'm alone in this. The feeling from different alcoholic drinks differed significantly.

I definitely see effects on my glucose the day after when I change my exercise routine, such as doing an extra LISS session. Anticipation of something stressful or exciting does also have an effect. I haven't noticed any effect from si

I remember reading about a physical device someone constructed with mirrors (I think at an early burning man) that gave you the experience of a huge inter ocular distance to get a giant's eye view. I've always wanted to try one (o

I have noticed too that HN has an enduring fascination with quaternions, and they seem to reach front page surprisingly frequently (considering that there's not a huge amount of discussion of other geometry topics). I'm certainly

Hill walks are particularly challenging for me too. I can do rowing or weightlifting with my sugars staying fairly stable or rising if it's really intense, but something about walking steadily up a gentle slope makes it drop massively.

Also when figuring out how much insulin is needed for a given amount of carbs you need to factor in the type of carbs, your individual response to that type of carbs, what fats/protein/fiber you eat with it (fats and fiber tend to
