  according to this comment it looks like a member of the lw site devs is ok with lw being scraped by gpt.

  4 people attended including me. i’d say it went well but i don’t know the opinion of the other people.

  it was very informal: we discussed at which level we were of signing up or not, and what was our next step or cryonics projects we want to work on.

  someone found this: https://​​www.healthline.com/​​nutrition/​​nutrient-deficiencies-cravings https://​​www.bbc.com/​​future/​​article/​​20190524-food-cravings-are-they-a-sign-of-nutritional-deficit

  From the first article:

  Weight loss studies provide additional arguments against the “nutrient deficiency” theory.

  In one weight loss study, participants following a low-carb diet for two years reported much lower cravings for carb-rich foods than those following a low-fat diet.

  Similarly, participants put on low-fat diets during the same period reported fewer cravings for high-fat foods (18).

  In another study, very low-calorie liquid diets decreased the frequency of cravings overall (19).

  If cravings were truly caused by a low intake of certain nutrients, the opposite effect would be expected.

  iirc there was at least one study that showed that people don’t crave to eat what nutrients they are missing (I am guessing apart from drinking when you are dehydrated but that’s not really a nutrient)

  on: What are some real life Inad­e­quate Equil­ibria?

  dating on dating apps (I think) men sends messages or tries to match with as many people as possible to increase their chances of talking to someone. women receives a lot of messages/​potential matches so they get more selective. which in turns creates less matches per message sent for men, which reacts by sending more messages

  this is from what I read and from my experience and experience of people I talked to. also, it looks like there is still a big heterosexual dynamics in this case (this might not apply to all dating apps but I guess it must apply to the big ones). I stayed a big vague in the description since I have seen different reasons for every of those points (that are not necessarily contradicting each other though: they could be additive)
