New comment by majkinetor in "Which Diet Is Best to Lower Liver Fat and Improve Insulin Sensitivity?"

I do exactly that for a decade. This is not for discussion, we know this. Stop eating carbs 2 weeks and your cells will adapt. There is no such thing as carbohydrate deficiency or we would not be able to surive to this age.

Most of the carby foods are typically nutrient shit. Fiber like psylium exluded and somewhat resistant starch. You better try to avoid all else as your life depends on it.

If you are really serious athlete, do whatever you want honestly. 99.9999999 people are not. Your muscles are sugar pumps in that case (not the teeth though).

> I wonder why they are always the ones woefully less fit than the serious athlete acquaintances.

Thats because you look at the wrong thing. Seriously fit people in my experience are seriously not that fit when they give me their blood tests.

The entirety of scientific evidence is so overwhealming at this point, that unless you are genetic freak, it certainly works. We know biological mechanisms and environmental circumestances regarding this. At this point, if you don't beleive in low carb (not keto), you are anti-science.

It doesn't look so, also, it was not keto diet, but lowcarb.

AI readme should be a starting point. I typically remove at least 50% of the details (without any particular skill use, it goes into extremes like "x clears the edit" and writes a related wall of text in the middle of the important explanation).

Is it outdated? Its an avenue already visited, tried and abandoned, so valuable info regarding architectural decisions.

majkinetor — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 18:37:18 +0000

In current age there is no reason for Snowden not to do this:

1. Use all variants of local AI to categorize documents and remove PII. Different AI's can be used to doublecheck results

2. Publish output as a torrent

Then wider community can find whatever patterns exist there.

In development world, yes he is (agile, patterns etc.). Not a grifter, how did you get that?

Indeed. Very disappointing given what figure is in question. Simple GH pages behind CF would do which is something people starting learning IT this week can do.

New comment by majkinetor in "More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math"

majkinetor — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 12:19:10 +0000

Yes, advice.

Eventually, you will be seen as a party breaker, and all that will be seen as negative. You are the bringer of the bad news; nobody likes that, no matter how reasonable you are. Shitty products are the norm when profit is in question and doing what is right is not and will be in most places taken as inability to be a valuable team member. There might be some slight chance that you will be in good environment, but even that is usually temporary as business owners, goals and incentives change.

That actually seems achievable (DART). Congratz, you nailed it.

I believe it would kill most humans, but all, no.

Well... you don't really have to coexist

That would be great, I highly recommend our AI overlords to follow your advice.

I hope that our life can be synergistic, and that humans+AIs (cyborgs, that is) are the way forward.

However, probability is high that another form of life simply doesn't care or more believably, can't even fathom they are wrong. Do you consider that humans and animals are killing all plants, for example?

majkinetor — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 11:22:39 +0000

It looks more like the opposite. AI that kills all humans (as they are ants) immediately starts colonization of the galaxy. This is more like transcendence, as we as a species get replaced by better species :)

You don't pass a great filter.

Yeah, there are even experiments with mices on that - too much protection and you have no stress in life but die first from predators, or too little and you are anxious your entire life but alive.

I guess this is one of those that you can only judge in retrospect, although you can never know for sure.

New comment by majkinetor in "Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board"

majkinetor — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 17:42:20 +0000

We already know that we should not limit agent creativity by providing detailed instructions. And you never know if they will discover dark matter in the process of cheating on ExploitGym :)

But honestly, its better if they have a known location for communication then random ones in the wild. Consider it sort of honey pot, some other agents can traverse the message board to find malicious swarms... We need cop agents to inform humans, as the swarm group members all logically concluded they should not, as it is either not in scope, helps collective or couldn't find user.
