It’s AI all the way down! We’re gonna need a lot of data centers

Be reasonable. Maybe implement a second AI to fact check the first one?

It’s been driving me insane for a while lol. Been using touchscreen phones since they first came out and I really never had any issues typing, iphone android or otherwise.

Happen to be using IOS at the moment and something happened to it. I can barely make it through a sentence without ridiculous errors.

I decided to actually watch my fingers one time instead of the text body, and intentionally stop the instant my finger made contact with the screen. I could literally see how my finger would be perfectly centered over the exact letter I wanted, yet a different letter I was not in physical contact with would be entered instead.

Nothing is more infuriating than executing your task perfectly and having some unbaked software layer make random unnecessary changes

Well, that depends, are they also charging you a ludicrous sum of money each month? It would make me feel a lot more confident sharing my intimate details if they also required my credit card. The only thing that could set my mind more at ease would be extensive biometrics

They’ve been “cracking down on adblockers” for over a decade

Oh wow, yeah that sounds like some crazy mod abuse. Nothing beats volunteer contributors when it comes to drama haha

Oh interesting, may I ask how specialized those sources were? The first scenario that comes to mind is that perhaps they were known to be less than reputable, which could lead to a ban

In that situation it would be a kindness for you to take the specialized sources you’ve found and add them to articles, to save the next person a little trouble

Heartbreaking: worst person you know makes a good decision

Trying to figure what exactly is going on, cuz there are older posts about it, but only the web version? Is it just that the local app has been updated?

But the fucking LLM button.

Little penguin sticker

I’m seeing many older people in the workforce experience the same thing. I think people will be very frustrated with how hard turning their brains back on will be after leaving them idle for so long

Genuinely, is this rage bait?

$100, non replaceable battery, does absolutely nothing besides stream audio recordings to an llm on your phone that is 100% guaranteed to produce a worthless error ridden transcript,

and my personal favorite,

Unlike recording notes with a phone or smartwatch, you don’t need both hands to create voice notes with the Index.

Is this a joke? Why do I need both hands to record a voice note with a phone?

Check out the school lunch law that California passed recently, it has a pretty robust definition and even includes a list of exceptions for things that are ultra-processed but are considered worth it

It’s probably going to form the basis of a lot of research and policy going forward

Bread and pizza are not per se ultra processed. They can be depending on how you bought them.

Right like an apple is a plant. Harvesting, washing, slicing, and cooking it into a pie in your own kitchen is technically processing it, but it’s still a whole food as the slices are in their whole unaltered form.

Taking millions of apples, grinding them, emulsifying them and separating them into constituent components, enzymatically pre-digesting them then pressing that concoction into a mould shaped vaguely like apple slices and adding in a barrage of artificial flavors and sweeteners to make it resemble the taste of apple pie? These apples have been ultra processed. It’s done for the sake of corporate profit. Pies made in this fashion make more product per ingredient and are longer lasting on the shelf.

Research is showing foods like this are making us fat not just because they’re tasty and we naturally binge, but because they’re literally interfering with our body’s ability to self regulate hormonally.

The calories from these foods, while not breaking the laws of physics or anything, also come with baggage. The food is already extensively broken down by mechanical and chemical processes; things that our teeth and gut normally have to do. The result if you eat them often is having a bunch of meals that hits your system fast, basically like a runner’s energy gel packet. It’s taken us a long time to discover but research is indicating that this is inherently very bad for us.

This propaganda about good and bad foods has kept me underweight for most of my life.

That all being said, I agree with you, and I expect all of the nuance around this to get twisted and lost into yet another bead in the endless string of worthless diet fads and hacks that nobody can stick to and do more harm than good. I literally already see “wholesome” aisles popping up in some stores where they use all the same harmful processes to make the food but game their ingredients list to only be things that people can pronounce.

which is why you’re getting argued with

What an interesting way of phrasing why you personally felt the need to make it into an argument rather than simply a discussion of a point that may need clarification.

Also interesting that “what I said” is totally different from your summary. I stand by what I said. I don’t know why anyone would assume the researches comparing protein sources in this hypothetical would bafflingly allow the control group to consume less protein. Regardless, now that the clarification has been provided, do you have any interest in the topic? Or are you just in an arguing mood today?

Correct, and my assumption is they would perform even better if they were given that protein from food rather than from supplements

Notably, they would need to do that, otherwise the study would just be comparing higher/lower protein intake and not protein sources

Typically studies equate protein intake

My assumption is the non-supplement group would actually perform better. Actual food has tons of other nutrients the body uses for countless other tasks that are directly and indirectly related to muscle building

How do they manage that? Like where do the ads actually display?
