🧵 Insulin Resistance
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:58:20 UTC No. 16099695
Please explain to a brainlet like me what is the nutritional factor behind insulin resistance. The more I read the more confused I am. There seems to be scientific papers providing evidence for all the usual hypothesis that are said to cause the ectopic fat accumulation in skeletal muscle and liver cells. That is:
a) Constant insulin spikes primarily from simple carbs.
b) High fat diets (being saturated fat the main driver)
c) Overnutrition. Insulin resistance can only occur due to fat accumulation after eating more calories than you need.
If b) is right then why does keto diets work to improve diabetes? Are them just short term solutions?
If c) is right, then why there is low body fat people that develop insulin resistance? Also, would this hypothesis mean that there's no risk in binge eating 1500 kcal of sugar if that day you burn 2000 kcal? What about gaining weight building muscle? You are supposed to build muscle by caloric superavit plus exercise plus enough protein so whoever that wants to build muscle must put themselves at risk of becoming pre-diabetic?
The most logical theory to me seems to be a), but I've also seen papers where feeding people a high carb diet didn't cause insulin resistance.

I feel like he was overblown and heavily pushed for political reasons (homosexual + atheist) and not actual accomplishments. Did he actually contribute to science and single handedly win WW2 like Reddit says he did?
I know Charles Babbage invented the first computer 100 years before Turing, but he was a devout Christian straight white male like every other scientist, so the regime downplays his scientific achievements.

Calculating √2 by hand using the long division guess and check with averages is grueling, but I will not stop until 1000 digits are promptly on paper.

🧵 How much would it have cost (roughly) to build solid concrete pillars
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:37:19 UTC No. 16099664
instead of hallow pillars in 1977 when the Key Bridge was built?
These pillars were built in 23-25 feet of brackish Chesapeake Bay water with bedrock a few feet deeper.

Seven textbooks to study math from in order to make you smarter, read and complete as many problems in them to increase the density of your prefrontal cortex. Use WolframAlpha or Symbolab to check your answer if you have difficulty for [2-7].
[1] Linear Algebra Done Right by Axler: It's free on his website, teaches you how to read and write proofs in linear algebra, makes understanding "pure" math easier, 800 problems, majority of mathematics program in the USA use his book.
[2] Calculus with Applications by Lax: It's a compact comprehensive introduction to single variable calculus, that has 400 problems.
[3] Ordinary Differential Equations by Logan: A compact comprehensive overview of ODE's, that is used in multiple universities in the USA, you don't want to work through a 2000 problem ode text when this 300 word problem ode text is just as good.
[4] Multivariable Calculus by Lax: Only 400 problems, for most people who are majoring in science or mathematics, they will stop learning math after this subject, unless you are a physicist or electrical engineer.
[5] Partial Differential Equations by Logan: Same as [3], except it's pde's, relies on alot of multivariable calculus, 300 problems that aren't plug and chug problems, it takes longer to solve problems in this subject, like a whole page or two of calculus/algebra.
[6] Complex Analysis by Eiderman: It has solutions to every problem, and is written like [1], you don't need to know real analysis, has 200 problems.
[7] Partial Differential Equations by Strauss: Optional, harder, compacter, comprehensive version of [5] that includes more methods.
You'll be smarter than 99% of STEM undergraduates in the USA. You could easily learn analysis or physics on your own because you developed the ability to persevere. If working full time, it would take you between 3 to 12 months for [1-6], and anywhere between 6 to 12 months for [7].

I'm creating this thread here because I don't care about what humanities fags think:
Is there a school system where kids can test out of certain classes if they already know the subject? Let's say your kid has already learned trigonometry at home (totally doable), is there a system in which he can do a test(s) showing he already knows the subject and therefore skipping that class instead of wasting his time with it as if school was fucking prison?
Obviously homeschooling is the most flexible system but it makes it harder for a kid to be surrounded by more competent peers, which is a big motivator to study more. I've acquired the perhaps mistaken impression that IB (International Baccalaureate) schools offer some of that flexibility

When you really get down to the basics, we're just human beings, aren't we? And what are human beings? Evolved primates. Evolution really is the only theory that makes any sense. Sentience arose out of inert and dead matter. People will just have to accept that answer.
I also think it's worth mentioning that if God somehow does exist, we aren't him.

I know nothing about the fundamentals of dieting but I've been getting into dieting for the past week or so, building one overtime the more I learn and about to do supplementing (Staying away from commercial sales because supplements aren't monitored by the fda and have repeatedly been found to have contained other drugs and chemicals to rope you in), I have NO idea where to really begin because I'm not deep enough. I want to achieve higher dopamine, cognition, gut health, overall health, overall energy, sleep, mood and slow the rate of aging as much as I can. (I exercise.) So far I have a list of foods, teas and supplements. It's shit and unfinished. Here:
Chicken
Beef
Chicken Liver
Avocado
Pineapple
Salmon
Kiwi
Almonds
Walnuts
Green Tea (remove pesticides w baking soda + water)
Chamomile (remove pesticides w baking soda+water)
Peanut Oil
Garlic
Onion
Chia Seed
Organic Butter
Rice
Lions Mane
Black kernel pepper corns (10 a day)
Herba Matte
Potatoes
I plan on removing pesticides when needed with baking soda and water, heard that works. Everything I'm consuming holds some sort of purpose here so far. Dont mind getting complicated for the benefits of everything I listed.

🧵 interferometers - working
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Mar 2024 12:16:15 UTC No. 16099230
how do they make rays coincide in heterodyne interferometers
i have been thinking about this since some time and i cant come to an understanding of how they can make this happen
in my imagination, centering of the rays is vital for proper interference to occur. so it is an important question to ask, how do they do it
btw, sorry for the absence of question marks. shift button isnt working.
