In the context of this post it's not about preserving or sharing the thoughts. Writing, in this case, is a "thinking tool". Forcing yourself to materialise the thoughts as actual, written, text helps form clear ideas.

Are there any good forums where people do have good market knowledge and share it?

New comment by kubami in "Blueprint health protocol"

But isn't this one of the points of all this. Figuring out which thnigs work and which don't? Which can be thrown out and which can be "condensed"?

I think it makes sense. He's doing the most extreme things to find things that work. And then be able to say, "This subset of intervention worked very well, let's try to reproduce it in a larger population."

Maybe if he was not doing anything, his score would be 1.1?

Also, I don't think the point is doing fancy things. The people that beat him might just be doing "common sense" healthy things. Something which most people don't do. See SAD (Standard American Diet).

New comment by kubami in "Ask HN: How is the job search coming along for people who got laid off?"

kubami — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 15:41:04 +0000

Exactly this! I haven't been interviewed for a long time now, but since the beginning of my career, when I have interviewed people I ask deeper questions. Even with tech tests, I use them as a jumping board for diving deeper into language design, tradeoffs and experiences. Even a trivial, reverse-a-string kind of questions can take you deep into candidate's knowledge.

I think the implied question was "It isn't affecting me, here is the data I see around myself. That data is incongruent with the headlines, can you offer an explanation and show me what I am missing?"

I don't think OP meant in general not thinking about a stiff back. OP was talking about telling yourself the story that you have a stiff back because you're getting older.

Both of which they acknowledge:

“It’s a one-in-a-million shot. They said it’s not statistically repeatable,” he said. “The amount of precision and time that went into that shot was simply amazing.
