Thank you for the in-depth answer, it was very interesting!

Why isn't it possible to just create a copy of the weights for task 1/task 2 at various points, or even continuously?
Storage space is ridiculously cheap, and even high powered debugging traces (like Microsoft's iDNA (TTT Debugging), which basically captures full process dumps in millisecond increments (albeit for a single running process) aren't THAT huge.
Then when you re-run task 1, it just uses the weights from the latest snapshot for task 1. I don't see why it wouldn't or what the benefit of using the (obviously mismatched) weights from task 2 would be (while running task 1).
I mean.. i know it sounds like a stupidly obvious suggestion, and I'm fairly certain it isn't used as a solution, but can't figure out why

Yes but why does it happen?

Those solar panels look interesting. Are they plug and play (into a big battery I presume)? How much did they cost?

Wait, there are useful posts on Quora?

I like how Germany isn't listed, but Rwanda (15% the population and 1% the GDP) is. Also that whatever is right next to Turkey wasn't listed, despite there being tons of space.

IF works just fine for people over 40, what on Earth are you on about?
Edit: and no, a "slowing metabolism" is not a thing that exists before your 60s, on average, and it's not the reason people gain more weight in middle age (late 30s - early 50s), or have more trouble losing it. Barring medical conditions, your metabolism slows at a predictable rate, but is mostly stable between age 20-60.

> these results strongly suggest we may no longer be able to blame weight gain in middle age on a slowed metabolism.
