I can’t access the previous paper by the authors that contains details about the diets. That being said, people don’t eat macronutrients, they eat foods. With equal caloric intake, a vegan diet is going to be higher in fiber and lower in fa

That’s a false equivalence, not all evidence has the same quality. I don’t think there’s any doubt across serious scientists that meat intake should be limited for positive health outcomes.

“Ketones are normal gasoline” is a very fringe view. Ketone supplements have been available for a while, and nobody was able to show any benefit of using them. 100% snake oil. If on the other hand you want to produce ketones endogenously, y

When exogenous carbs are available, they are used preferentially, also at rest. Carbs need to go somewhere, and they only end up in fat storage after all other options are exhausted. As intensity increases during exercise, the body starts r

It has the ring of “load-bearing” and “belts and suspenders”, but in this case, it really is a one-dimensional bin packing problem.

It's true that this is happening a lot. And I think this is one of the reasons why ethicists still want to get involved in these companies: it should be easier to make a company do the right thing from the inside, why else would they h

Companies are not bound to sociopathically pursue profit. It would be in their long-term interest to care about stakeholders outside the boardroom, and until a certain person with tiny hands started a war on anything remotely "woke&quo

Nobody suggests moving to 100% solar. Some off-grid homes do it, but generally there are multiple complementary power sources available. There is no assumption that any single power source always provides consistent output and it wouldn&#x2

The "subsidy" (Einspeisevergütung) is a fixed price paid for power sold to electricity providers, for those who don't want the complexity of taking part in the energy market. It was supposed to accelerate the transition to re

The market rate is the expected compensation in a certain market, usually based on location, and it's a range rather than a single value. If it was the highest compensation, everyone except a single employer would pay below market rate

Governments print money, high frequency traders extract money. They would say that they provide liquidity to the market as a service.

Very few things are purely technical decisions. In this case, it’s about centralized vs. distributed electricity generation (or freedom vs. dependence if you want to state it that way). One of these options makes it much easier for the bill

Pasta is actually a relatively low GI food, due to long starch chains. Like fiber, some of the (resistant) starch acts as food for the microbiome of the gut. There’s a theory that eating lots of resistant starch has similar benefits to high

The LLM does not prove anything (it cannot reason). It generates Lean code, and conveniently, in Lean, the code is also the proof. It’s not merely a model of the stated system, it is the system. You still need to verify that the generated

Even if you reduce it to that, you still endorse (or at least accept) the side effects of the production of what you eat. If you eat meat, you are okay with the effects it has on climate change, and that’s political. If you do the opposite

VPNs are generic networking/security tools that can also be used for things like circumventing geoblocking. Cryptocurrency doesn’t have a lot of use cases outside of money laundering, avoiding sanctions and stealing money through rug p

It’s probably pointless to argue, but there was never a lot of nuclear power in Germany to begin with. This is just turning energy policy into culture war.

In practice, repairs affect the water resistance, and Apple Store employees will confirm that to you. They just don't want to say so in the product description as it would raise doubts.

Comparable or not, the Fairphone 6 costs less than half of my iPhone. I don't think the price is an issue.

In a way, that's true. Drinking a lot of juice, or soft drinks, is not ideal, and when I see an overweight person drinking straight from a large juice bottle, that reaffirms my belief. It would be socially unacceptable to judge this be

Laypeople are changing how “AI” is used in common language, like they previously did for “algorithm” and “crypto”. The textbook definition of AI is a system that solves problems that are difficult for humans. Whether the approach uses forma

They live in a bubble and don’t understand that getting rid of jobs is not universally seen as a good thing. If you haven’t read it already, I can recommend “Careless People”, this is a constant theme in the book.

Since he spent Euros, he must be somewhere on the EU. This is a GDPR violation and I bet he can reach actual people that are able to help by mailing their GDPR legal contact.
