You are right about floor units, and I'd add that they don't work very well. I had one for a few years and only kept it because I was too stingy to upgrade but it was wretchedly weak.

Something is wrong with you if you thought that was a gotcha. Fix yourself.

. for example a famous gene like TP53 (which causes cancer when fucked) has tens of thousands of publications made about it (though ironically there's likely still stuff it does that we don't know).
That's not really glamor, curing cancer is an important practical problem. It's a good thing that money and attention are directed towards that.
Comment Not an LLM (Score 4, Informative) 131
The work openAI is doing isn't just saying, "ChatGPT, solve this problem." They have combined their LLM (probably a custom LLM, with a math focus) with existing algorithms, and expert mathematicians working the prompt.
So this appears to be an incremental advance, but it's not that an LLM automatically understands math and can start proving things.

The cost of producing a hard answer just fell to almost nothing, and the constraint moved to proving the answer is right.
I don't think this is a change.
For example, Fermat's last theorem was easily produced, and the proving the answer took centuries.

I try to urge people to measure their macronutrients to get a clear picture of where they might be lacking. That's more effective than trying to tell them that they are eating too much protein (because once they see the numbers, they draw the conclusion for themselves).

But again most go too far - benefits taper off [strongerbyscience.com] after about 1,6-2,2g/kg-d.
Yeah, the extra just gets excreted in urine.
Body builders are so aware of the protein requirement that they are more likely to have vitamin C as a limiting factor to muscle growth than protein (since vitamin C is involved in muscle synthesis). Vitamin C deficiency is surprisingly common, even in the developed world. As a hypothesis, maybe because it needs to be consumed regularly, since it's water soluble and gets washed out the body easily.

More often it's turned to body fat, it's very easy for your body to covert protein to fat.
I don't know why you think this, but you didn't read it in any science, and it's not true. You are just wrong.
