No, the evidence is that there is no significant difference in satiety. HFCS is 55% fructose / 45% glucose, while sucrose is 50% fructose / 50% glucose.


Well, There's at least this as a start... https://nutrition.org/sugars-created-equal-lets-talk-fructos...

Not saying Sugar itself is much better, however, yes, there is research indicating that the two are metabolized differently, so that difference in composition should be considered.


I am entirely unconvinced that a 5% difference in fructose vs. glucose is a meaningful difference.

They carry the same health risks if eaten in the same amounts. The only thing that corn syrup could be blamed for here is being too cheap so it shows up in greater quantity and in more products than cane sugar might otherwise.

HFCS is just one of those fashionable things to be "concerned" about so we can all miss the forest through the trees.


The difference is in the chemical bond.


yeah that was my understanding. for some reason corn syrup is vilified. the real problem there (as I understand it) is corn subsidies.


Ding ding ding. HFCS is a tax we all pay for no reason anyone in the general populace actually wants.


Is this something like Fable can help with?


This is something that documentation would help with. Fable doesn't know anything that human engineers don't.


Just ask the orthopedists down the street from any CrossFit box.

Or their journal articles.


I don't think this is helpful. Crossfit appears to prioritize speed and # of reps above all else, and is notorious for people doing difficult exercises with terrible form to try to hit those targets. HIIT certainly emphasises intensity of effort and prefers relatively short rest periods between sets, but not at the expense of proper form. eg when I think of cross-fit weight training or callisthenics I think of lots of snatching and jerking, with HIIT I think of moving slowly with form and trying to hold tension at the apex of the movement.


If you want to do Super Slow, great, but that is the original HIT, High Intensity (Strength) Training from Arthur Jones of Nautilus fame. I just went to YouTube and searched for HIIT. I don't see any videos of "moving slowly with form" (which is exactly what Super Slow is built around - 10 seconds concentric, 10 seconds eccentric, one set to failure).

Hiit training can use any type of exercise that allows quick change of pace.

The routine in Tabata’s original HIIT work was just cycling.

Crossfit afaik is a more complex affair than just cycling.

So is the risk of injury due to specific movement or the interval quality of the movement?


Don't conflate hiit with crossfit. Crossfit is just one (although well known) type of hiit. There are many other type of hiit activities without the training style of crossfit.


You might be able to be a diesel mechanic and clean up in tech. This video is almost a year old, about applying Claude Code to boring businesses, a mobile diesel mechanic service in this case study: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWNFna6fgS8


I try everyday to apply my tech background to my mechanics. I use it for things like torque specs and brain storming issues but nothing much else.

Utilizing it for business purposes is certainly an option too. Possibly in the far future, having the highest quality website with good SEO would help me stomp out competition.


And when that movie played on the Caltech campus in the early 70s, everyone waited for the point when the US and Russian computer started exchanging a private language and one engineer exclaims "That's like five years at Caltech in thirty seconds!" The entire theatre exploded and my ears hurt from the screams.


I put a Claude Code token on all my machines, local and cloud. Machines now practically fix themselves. Especially with NixOS, as soon as the basic install runs, it gets the Nix claude-code package. It's all downhill after that. OpenClaw hit a few weeks ago, so I took an ancient PC lying around, put NixOS on it, added Claude Code, and then Claude installed OpenClaw. Claude, tell me about the security posture of OpenClaw. "Would you like me to turn on the exec permissions feature and disable dangerous commands?" Claude does that and then turns around and tests that they are really turned off. My Telegram bot gets confused: "I'm sorry, I don't have a shell/exec to run that command. How did I run anything a few minutes ago?"


Are you sure about that? The sustainable operation of modern cars is in doubt, from very specialized parts and fully integrated modules, to critical software that will not be updated, to dealer keying required for most every substitute part, the era of anyone being able to run cars for 200,000 miles long after the warranty is over will soon be in the history books.


I haven't seen any evidence that the "reliable" car brands are trying to change that dynamic moving forward. I think we are seeing a change in consumer behavior that leads to increased demand for new cars, but that is not connected to the reliability of the platform of the long term maintenance requirements.

If electric cars are actually simpler like all of these experts keep telling us, then in the next 3-5 years, we'll know which models are living up to expectations and which ones are not aging as gracefully.

The other thing to consider is the "old" batteries. If I can buy a used Nissan Leaf and harvest the batteries for a home-storage project after the frame kicks the can due to rust or some other problem, then I'm essentially able to keep those batteries as a form of equity on the vehicle. We also will see new companies popping up to address these home-battery conversion projects with plug and play harnesses to drop in your car batteries after the vehicle is no longer worthy of use on the road.

Sure, batteries will also continue to come down in price across the board, so that calculation also needs to be considered, but we're in this interesting middle zone where a lot of used EV value is being left on the table because the business market hasn't quite kept up with the demand for the next step in the lifecycle of modern EVs.


You say this like the average age and reliability of cars hasn't been skyrocketing for years.

Toyota offers a 10-year warranty on new cars, which would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.

You can't update the infotainment, but the engine controls have remained modular because it's simply too hard to convince people to buy truly unrepairable cars. Tesla did it, and once people realized that gently tapping a Model 3 was likely to total it resale values plummeted.


My mother drives a 12 year old car. If you don't use it much and have a parking garage cars are pretty much indestructible.


The average age of cars on the road is about 13 years!

2006 Tacoma's are selling for like $5k less than their original MSRP!


~20yr ago the Koreans were offering 10/100k as a "we stand behind our product" signal.


I got Connect by T-Mobile a few years ago when it was $10/mo prepaid ($11.03 with tax), and I am grandfathered in. It has a hard cap of 1GB/mo, then nothing. Then I got Hello Helium with a physical SIM on my exercise phone (out in the rain, at the gym) and it is completely free with ... wait for it ... 3GB/mo of data. Go figure. The Hello Helium app used to require location permission on at all times, but they eliminated that.


Founding of World Logic Day

Why creating a World Logic Day? Human beings are classically considered as "Logical Animals" (Latinized as "Rational Animals"). Logic, as reasoning, is a central feature of human beings. It is not very difficult to see what can be promoted on January 14, considered as the World Logic Day: rationality, understanding and intelligence.


>>What legislation makes you think America is going to be re-industrialized? >Several actually.

BBB passed. The others died. This Congress passed an historically low number of bills. If reindustrialization of America depends on Congress, we are doomed.
