That makes a lot of sense- this is definitely the sort of thing I was looking for, thanks so much!

[Question] When can I be numerate?
I prefer the other title
Is your friend still on the protocol?
What I’m really looking for is fixing the microbiome in a way which means I won’t be having to take a pill to get the benefits forever.
[Question] Where should I look for information on gut health?
It’s kind of nice as a very soft introduction to the series or idea. A nice easy early win can give people confidence and whet their appetite to do more.
I’ve been interested in learning and playing figgie for a while. Unfortunately, when I tried the online platform I wasn’t able to find any online games. Very enthused to learn there’s an android option now, will be trying that out.
Your comparison of poker and figgie very much reminded me of Daniel Coyle’s comparison of football and futsal, to which he attributed the disproportionate number of professional Brazillian footballers.
TL;DR futsal is a sort of indoor soccer favored in Brazil with a smaller heavier ball, a smaller field, and fewer players. Fewer players mean that more people get more ball time, and the ball and the field favor a focus on footwork and quick passing. Practicing futsal seems to make people better at football than practicing football.
Also, if anyone is interested in joining or hosting a game of figgie, that would be really cool and I’d be interested in that.
I think that’s a good idea, if we put this together how much do you think would be a reasonable rent price?
Lol just the last few days I was running through Leetcode’s SQL 50 problems to refresh myself. They’re some good, fun puzzles.
I’ll look into R and basic statistical methods as well.
This is a very interesting topic to me- but unfortunately I think I’m finding the example topic to be a barrier. I don’t enough about math or transformers for the examples to make real sense to me and connect to the abstracted idea of how to make effective flashcards to build intuition.
That sounds like a pretty good basic method- I do have some (minimal) programming experience, but I didn’t use it for D&D Sci, I literally just opened the data in Excel and tried looking at it and manipulating it that way. I don’t know where I would start as far as using code to try and synthesize info from the dataset. I’ll definitely look into what other people did though.
[Question] How do I get better at D&D Sci?
These are my favorite kinds of posts. Subject expert gives full explanation of optimal resources and methods they used to get where they are.
I watched this video and this is what I bought maximizing for cost/effectiveness, rate my stack:
I’ve been experimenting a little bit using AI to create personalized music, and I feel like it’s pretty impactful with me. I’m able to keep ideas floating around my unconscious, very interesting, feels like untapped territory.
I’m imagining making an entire soundtrack for my life organized around the values I hold, the personal experiences I find primary, and who I want to become. I think I need to get better at generating AI music though. I’ve been using Suno, but maybe I need to learn Udio. I was really impressed with what I was able to get out of Suno and for some reason it sounded better to me than Udio even though the quality is obviously inferior in some respects.

I’m always interested in easy QoL improvements- but I have questions.
Water quality can have surprisingly high impact on QoL
What’s the evidence for this particularly?
What are the important parts of water quality and how do we know this?
Short Post: Discerning Truth from Trash
Biggest update for me was the FBI throwing their weight behind it being a lab-leak.
I’d be interested in reading much more about this. Energy and akrasia as it’s popularly called here continue to be my biggest life challenges. High fiber diet seems to help, and high novelty seems to help.
