It is very procedural/object oriented. This is not considered good Rust practice. Iterators make it more functional, which is better, more succinct that is, and enums more algebraic. But it's totally fine for a thought experiment.
Email is not relevant to a good encryption scheme. You could sign an email, an image you post on Insta, a chat message, anything really.
Thing is, where are the user's credentials stored. In a goverment's computer probably. Greece is taking some steps towards this [1].
A Greek citizen to obtain a digital signature, he has to go to a bank, the bank verifies him, he pays a fee and then the government can accept his digital signature. My guess is that the dictatorship banks established with the Covid excuse might start to bear some fruits finally.
But, people on the internet might want something more advanced, more secure than some COBOL computers storing their identity. Then we save digital certificates and digital identities on the blockchain, making essentially the blockchain the heart of the internet.
When a person from a company sends a message to a client, he can sign the message with his own identity and the identity of the company. Problem solved. No one get's confused when the cryptographic signatures are not verified. The message is invalid and it is redirected to the spam folder.
I have done this since forever. Put music on and doing breathwork. Some of the most imaginative ideas I have ever had, start to be generated by themselves 15 minutes in the breathwork.
I use a technique no else uses, and at the start I was trying to emulate fighters being hit in the stomach. It had occured to me that fighters have generally more triangular upper bodies than other types of athletes. It turns out, that organs in the belly aggregate fat around them, and being hit in the stomach discombobulates the fat particles. I found a more intelligent way to emulate that, and less dangerous.
Altered state of consciousness start after 10-15 minutes of breathwork, when I put saliva on my scalp to clean the testosterone from the hair. That one was inspired by cats. The male scalp excretes lots of testosterone which cannot be removed with just shampoo. This also fixes androgenetic alopecia (it does not get reversed, but stops happening). I get seriously dizzy when I do that, that's why I have given up on all mind altering substances including alcohol. Getting dizzy from exercise is so much better.
There are 2-3 more exercises I do complementary to that. The breath work also is not breath work, it is something similar.

Thanks. I have read Anatomy books and other medical textbooks. When I have an idea for exercise, I always research it to find out what might happen in the human body.
Hey, I’m the guy who replied to you. While I was definitely trying to take the piss, I also should have made it more clear that I liked your comment. I thought it was wild and funny, in addition to being a little bit interesting.
Hopefully you were able to take it in stride, and I’m sorry for any distress I may have caused!
Fat around the organs (visceral fat [0]) is indeed a problem. Though I believe you've got the causality wrong. Many fighting styles select for people with broad shoulders and narrow hips (sometimes known as the mesomorph body type, though that system has its own problems). Strict weight categories and, of course, lots of training keep them lean and any kind of fat to a minimum (ignoring heavy weight classes, some forms of wrestling, and meat mountains like Valuev).
If this isn't trolling (and I do suspect it is), it reads like fitness influencer tosh like "running kills gains, you don't want to a marathoner body".
A detergent probably can. On that will be labeled as shampoo, which is intentionally gentle, to not remove too much oil from your scalp (which causes excessive oily hair, since it's regulated with a feedback system by the sebaceous glands), maybe not.
I think you are confusing testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a testosterone derivative and is not testosterone itself. Shampoos that contain anti-DHT chemicals like minoxidil can block DHT from attacking your hair follicles but don't eliminate it from the body.
The word "enzyme" comes from the Greek words "en-" (in) and "zymē" (leaven), coined by German physiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1878 from the German word Enzym.
> What is the more intelligent way you use to emulate fighters being hit in the stomach?
It is a little bit complicated, but what I do, I put some music on, I lay down on a bed or a sofa, with my head hanging from the edge, and hanging as much necessary, so as the prefrontal cortex is the lowest point of my whole body. That way blood starts to flow towards the lowest point, and the prefrontal cortex is responsible for imagination, memory, higher order ideas and more. I want to activate that particular area of the brain.
My hands, are at the back, and pressed by my body, one at the height of the scapulae, one lower. There is one muscle, that gets exercised, only when the hands are configured like that, at the back.
From then on, I move my mouth as if i am chewing imaginary leaves, like a cow. Breath synchronizes with the mouth moving, and the stomach is moving as if it is getting hit by a fist.
I get six pack at my belly, just from that exercise. The main reason I do that though, is that I want to pump as much blood to the prefrontal cortex as possible. I get some crazy ideas that way.
Thanks for posting the detailed instructions. I'll be trying this myself. I discovered a technique that lets you use orthostatic pressure combined with breath to seriously alter my mental and physical state within seconds, and this was after years of casually trying other breathwork. In the field of self-development, the only empiricism is actually trying stuff. And it's usually a field of great personal invention.
This 100% horse shit, or just surprisingly clever trolling. I used to box many years, sparring 12 rounds every thursday. What ”discombobulates” fat is the insane amount of cardio at the very near and above your top heart rate. Exercise where you are punched to the stomach repeatedly is to learn how to flex your abs so that you are not dropped with one hook to the belly. And there is plenty of fat boxers, just look at Tyson Fury or Andy Ruiz Jr.
[EDIT] My idea there, is that internally fat individuals[1], are having trouble exercising parts of their body located near their center of mass, even if they are athletes. Not all athletes obviously, but most of them. Being hit by some other person at that area, seems the most efficient way to remove the fat particles. The only thing I had to do, is find a way to emulate it, but with less danger and not requiring a second person.
General fat loss will remove fat anywhere, area specific exercises will tone said area (like abs) which will make them feel firmer which gives the impression of fat loss in a specific area.
He looks authentic. You’d be surprised how varied and ridiculous people’s ideas about how the world works can get when they have some intelligence, some ignorance, and a little bit too much self confidence. Doesn’t seem harmful to anybody else in his case. I’ve done (and still do) my own share of biohacking.
Random threads here will ocassionally surface these guys in the extremes.
100% serious. Also using similar methods, I can withstand cold 0 celsious for several hours and just sit on a computer and read, wearing just shorts nothing else. Nowadays though, getting older, it starts to be a little bit challenging.
Some years back, I sat in freezing cold, 12 hours a day, wearing almost nothing and just reading. The more I can withstand cold, the better my eyes work.
i somewhat know the benefits of the saliva such that it helps heal wound is it really effective to you? did someone recommend this to you or are experimenting this for yourself? has anyone other than you experienced this benefit?\
This is also not Reddit where you call for mods to remove things you find uncomfortable. I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions rather than letting him become more aggravated alone. Failing that, other people who were about to consider embarking on the same delusions would be hopefully discouraged by the rational replies.
> I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions
Do you have an estimate for the likelihood of success for that enterprise? Or, is the measure of success rather to prevent others from embarking on similar delusional pursuits irrespective of whether the original proponent abandoned them or not?
But then it is a specialized intelligence, specialized to altering it's weights. Reinforcement Learning doesn't work as well when the goal is not easily defined. It does wonders for games, but anything else?
Someone has to specify the goals, a human operator or another A.I. The second A.I. better be an A.G.I. itself, otherwise it's goals will not be significant enough for us to care.
In the absence of actually lengthening the telomeres, everything falls short in the anti-aging department.
Most lifestyle habits contribute to shorting the telomeres as little as possible, which guarantees good health no matter the age, but still aging, albeit slower.
Given the current technology trajectory, many people including me, think that we are very close to totally stopping aging, and even reversing it.
Very encouraging results. Spatial intelligence of LLMs was very bad, one year back. I spent quite some time to make them write stories in which objects are put into up and down positions, left and right, front or back, they always got hopelessly confused.
I asked GPT which one is the most scriptable CAD software, it's answer was Freecad. Blender is not a CAD software as far as I understand, the user cannot make measurements like Freecad.
Unfortunately Freecad's API is a little bit scattered and not well organized, GPT has trouble remembering/searching and retrieving the relevant functions. Blender is a lot more popular, more code on the internet, and it performs much better.
Measurements are printed and given usually to construction workers, usually along some axis. People who lay the bricks take a top view from a house with the dimensions along the y axis. People who build the doors and windows take a side view of the dimensions along the x axis. And so on.
I may start using Blender if that's the case. I was waiting for some kind of success modeling 3D shapes using code, and automatically generating the code with LLMs, for quite some time.
OpenSCAD doesn't seem to be bad at all, but not thrilled with a custom language to write scripts on it. I found a Rust crate which might help.
I haven't managed yet to write Rust and interoperate with FreeCAD or Blender, so if it is easier to write Rust for OpenSCAD I might settle on OpenSCAD. I have to experiment somewhat to find the most compatible with Rust between the three.
It is only in the last century or so, that statistical methods were invented and applied. It is possible for many people to be very competent at what they are doing and at the same time be totally ignorant of statistics.
There are lies, statistics and goddamn hallucinations.
Every jj action is translated to a git action, but the git protocol is used only as a low level filesystem underneath, completely abstracted away. Akin to how C abstracts assembly as far I understand. No need to know assembly to use C.
It must have been somewhat the same when chess engines started to beat human players. The chess community should be fairly divided about the usefulness of such a tool. After a while things settled down, and all players use the tool in some way or another.
Some chess players benefited more from the tool than others. I always analyze my games carefully with an engine after the game. After less than 10 years I managed to get from zero to almost master level. I attribute that to extensive engine analysis I put on my games afterwards.
The user needs to know how to use the engine, LLM or chess engine, when it makes sense to use it, what are the shortcomings of the tool and so on.
LLMs are game changers, and AI's ability to distinguish the signal from noise is marvelous. Will it be a game changer like it is now for chess, a very narrow game compared to everything else, remains to be seen.
