By delaying something introducing stupid regulations, they block it.
EU just wants to kill tech, because its ever changing nature means that they can't control it.
Quite the opposite, in EU there is no innovation because only big tech can comply with regulation.

Edit 2: She also wrote a paper about "Algorithmic Reparations":
Rooted in theories of Intersectionality, reparative algorithms name, unmask, and undo allocative and representational harms as they materialize in sociotechnical form. We propose algorithmic reparation as a foundation for building, evaluating, adjusting, and when necessary, omitting and eradicating machine learning systems.
[...]
We make this case in the body of the text above, suggesting a move away from fairness, replaced by an anti-oppressive, Intersectional approach. We intend for this approach to guide algorithmic design and to act as an evaluative standard by which existing algorithmic systems are judged, adjusted, and where necessary, omitted or dismantled. Our proposal is thus geared towards building better systems and holding existing ones to account.

Intermittent fasting, aka time-restricted eating, can help people lose weight—but the reason why may not be complicated hypotheses about changes from fasting metabolism or diurnal circadian rhythms. It may just be because restricting eating time means people eat fewer calories overall.
No shit Sherlock. As always the article is boring and I won't post any of it here. Let's go -hunting in the top comments.
I think people find the "calories in vs calories out" rhetoric reductive is because it implies a simplicity that doesn't fit many people's lived experiences. Not everyone will absorb the same amount of calories after eating the same sandwich, or store the same quantity of calories in adipose, and not everyone will expend the same amount of calories when they jog for a particular distance of length of time. A person's microbiota influences caloric absorption. Hormones, epigenetics and genetics also play a role in metabolism. At rest, not all bodies use energy at the same rate. If we deprive the body of calories, not all bodies scale back the same expenditures at the same rate to conserve energy. So yes, calories in vs calories out is true, but not all true statements are helpful statements.
Yes, and what this study proves is that while it's always as simple as “fewer calories means less weight”, how the “fewer calories” happens isn't always “just eat less”.
Often the “eat less move more” is used incorrectly because of course it's technically true but most people when discussing diet are trying to talk about a method to eat less, move more.
It's always frustrating when talking about a technique of how to do X, only to have a bunch of people yelling “just do X!”.
Just eat less.
Also "most people when discussing diet are trying to talk about a method to eat less, move more" is bullshit. Most people when discussing diets are looking for some magical food that will cause them to lose weight. No one on a diet discusses how they should move more.
As the arrticle says, this does seem obvious (esp since Ive tried it myself) but as a (non-nutrition) scientist it would have been exciting had they found something unexpected. Sigh. But good work regardless.
BTW while calories in/calories out is absolutely true it's not automatically obvious how many calories you get from eating X. The rating on the box comes from burning food in a calorimeter! Meanwhile your body can extract calories more easily from a small piece of doughnut than from a large, fibrous chunk of broccoli, even if they have the same number of calories on the label. To say otherwise is like saying, “well all chemistry is quantum mechanics” — completely true, but mainly in-useful.
Thanks for that, scientist.
I do time-restricted eating, but that's because I have acid reflux. Don't want tp be slamming a double cheeseburger, fries, and a coke 1/2 hour before bed.
Acid reflux is the only thing stopping this guy from slamming a double cheeseburger, fries, and a coke 1/2 hour before bed. I wonder why he has acid reflux?
So very much this. The whole “CICO”/“it's just physics!” crowd is infuriating.
Like, yes, of course the key to losing weight is to consume less than you burn. But that is by itself not a sufficiently useful strategy for addressing a population-wide obesity crisis.
Preaching sexual abstinence doesn't solve unwanted pregnancy, and preaching food abstinence doesn't solve obesity. You want people to overcome their most basic biological drives, they need more than a Nike slogan.
"Noo we have to account for the fact that everyone is incredibly dumb"
I tried the whole "eat a big breakfast so you won't need such a big lunch" thing. Doesn't work for me. I just wind up with three big meals a day instead of two, if I do that.

hello~ idk if this has been discussed in the community yet, but there's a really easy exploit to cheat in balatro --- you can right-click the .exe file, go to "Open Archive", and modify the source code directly. i made a video so you can see how it works:
i'm bringing it up because if the editor is smart, there's no way to tell if a game has been modified or not --- you can, for example, increase the droprate of powerful jokers or legendaries and cheat in a speedrun category
i've sent a message in the speedrunning groomercord that they should probably modify the rules so that runners have to verify their game files on Steam before they submit a run. and more generally, i think ppl should be aware that this exists so they can call out suspect videos and runs
i almost didn't want to publicize this because the more well-known this gets, the easier it will be for ppl to cheat in speedruns and tournaments and stuff, but at the end of the day i think it's better if more ppl know and can establish rules to stop it when it matters
