AFAICT, the majority (60%) of funding for roads doesn't come from direct user charges... Roads are subsidized, free parking (and generally a lot of paid parking) is subsidized, and the sprawl encouraged by car dependence combined with

Which SDK? I've only written Rust FFI to pretty basic C APIs. I'm curious to get a sense of the limitations on something more complex

Vigorous activity is defined as something like > 75-80% max heart rate, or > 6.0 METS, not as an absolute, all out sprint. It's actually quite far from what you expect

The 2019 physical activity guidelines for Americans include consensus recommendations including the evidence and some good graphs to visualize the "bang for buck" For those curious, those (weekly) recommendations are: twice weekly

It feels ridiculous not to mention car dependence and the things that enabled it: restrictive zoning, parking minimums, the car lobby. In the last 50 years, the US has bulldozed dense, mixed used housing that enabled community and tight kni

Curious why you chose C++? Were there aspects of other languages/ecosystems like Rust that were lacking? Would choosing Rust be advantageous for blockchains that natively support it (like Solana)? To be clear: I don't mean to impl

I haven't seen anybody mention NvChad, which is a popular pre-configured neovim setup with lots of documentation (and a community of support). You're still free to customize, but it saves a TON of time in terms of getting to the f

Highly recommend Barbell Medicine if you're interested in evidence based strength training info. The best workout routine is one that you enjoy and adhere to. Progressive overload (which is NOT just adding weight) is important for prog

What linker are you using? I've gotten really significant speedup over the default linker by using lld or mold.

Alan has an MSc and PhD in nutrition and runs Alinea nutrition. I can't speak on Huberman's assessment of research in the neuroscience space, where he has expertise. Alan has done some breakdowns of Huberman's broad claims re

Huberman's pretty good at taking research he doesn't have the expertise to assess out of context and turning it into some protocol that everyone needs to do. The vast majority of things he talks about, if beneficial at all, are at

The glaring assumption here being that deficiency can be treated with supplementation. There are tons of reasons why you can be deficient, and many that don't respond at all to supplementation. More people should be talking to medical

Trains are also vastly more efficient, space-wise, at moving people than cars. As the article mentions, increasing rail infrastructure would logically include regional connections first. It's not like we'd be building a train trac

I think the social ramifications of car dependence are overlooked. US loves its freedom but in many ways cars make people much less free by taking away their free time, money, social interaction, physical activity, etc. It's incredible

Exactly. Two things: 1. The vast majority of people do not need to worry about nuances of nutrition. Most Americans (90%+) don't even meet physical activity guidelines, for which there is extremely strong evidence of far more significa

I think we're talking past each other a bit. I think that the degree to which America is car dependent is ridiculously stupid for our safety, solvency of our cities, and enjoyment of everyday life. In Europe, many people are comparably

Lots of people here are assuming that supplementing vitamin D will "treat" a low level of it, which isn't necessarily true. The level might not change, but you also might care a lot less than you think about the level specifi

It costs money and won't necessarily do anything about the levels / the things that were causing the levels to be low in the first place. Highly recommend this deep dive: https://soundcloud.com/user-344313169/

There is no recommendation made here. These are observations and far from clinical guidelines, or anything any doctor would recommend you do.
