What’s the logic behind having plans for taking down an evil version of yourself? Who watches for that to carry out the plan when the time comes? What’s the plan if that person becomes evil and now has the means to combat non-evil Batman? Does he have a plan for that too? Because if so, evil Batman will also have it.
I use this minimal ffmpeg wrapper app for all my media encoding needs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
I don’t know if the GUI has any support for audio, but you can just give it a plain ffmpeg command if needed.
I don’t see why they can’t be resold. As long as there’s a market for new AI hardware, there will continue to be a market for the older stuff. You don’t need the latest and greatest for development purposes, or things that scale horizontally.
“The best programmers are lazy” does not imply that the lazy are the best programmers. I think it’s still true with the existence of vibe coding.
It wasn’t that long ago that it was unfathomable for anything other than humans to be able to do this.
Whole star anise keeps for a while. I’ve had the same batch for about five years now and it’s still incredibly potent. So certainly, continue with learning how to use it, but don’t stress about going through all of it in a short period of time.
Dang, three whole stars in a cup. That’s some strong-ass tea. When I make broth, I usually go for half a star for the whole pot.
I guess it wasn’t clear what I was responding to. I edited my comment with the quote.
To be clear, I don’t object to the message of the ketogenic diet being an effective solution for many problems, but I do object to presenting it as the one and only (or ideal) solution to everything. It’s not clear if you intended for that. A literal reading of your top level comment conveys nothing of this sort, but if I give it a reading while pretending not to be autistic, I pick up on the implication that anyone who snores is fat. I think the responses you’ve gotten confirm this interpretation.
It’s basically the difference between “Being fat causes snoring. Here’s how to reduce body fat.” vs “Being fat can cause snoring. If that happens to apply to you, here is what I believe to be the best solution.”
I’m also not a fan of prescribing keto as a first resort because it’s a huge lifestyle change for most people. The point of being healthy is to allow you to enjoy life to its fullest. If the lifestyle that the diet requires doesn’t allow for that, then it’s pointless.
As far as the mechanism of action of why carbohydrates are driving ectopic fat please read - The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018
The “access through your institution” button appears to be broken right now. Based on the abstract, it looks to be more about glycemic load than ketosis. So their findings likely also apply to the ketogenic diet, but I see no reason to believe it to be necessary.
Your not asking people to justify with references the “snoring is normal and healthy” vibe that is upvoted here. I think that speaks to the poor metabolic health we have come to accept in society
I don’t think anyone is normalizing poor metabolic health. I’m certainly not. What I do question is the attribution of poor metabolic health to carbs alone, and all carbs on top of that. From what I know, just about everything in the body interacts with everything else, so while that means changing one thing (like reducing carb intake) can fix a lot of things, it is highly unlikely that the blame can be placed on any single thing. There are many ways to improve your health.
It also happens to fit my mental model of how things work, and I really don’t have the time or energy to read something that just reconfirms my beliefs. I’m also not that interested in snoring, but I am interested in reading about nutrition. You also said it yourself: “[snoring is] not a major health concern (sleep apnea is)”
To be fair, your statement was very general
Fair. I did allude to all the other times you’ve brought this up. I should’ve been clearer.
That’s a nice list. Saving it for later reading.
But for the purposes of the discussion in this thread, I’m looking for sources that point towards ectopic fat being the main culprit of snoring to tie in with what looks like evidence towards low carb diets being a (not the) solution to getting rid of ectopic fat. If that’s in the list you provided, I’d appreciate if you can point it out. It’s not really reasonable to expect someone to dig through all of that.
How much of a concern is arsenic? A lot of Asian cultures have rice with every meal and they have some of the healthiest people on the planet.
Ramen with frozen vegetables mixed in.
I like to add soy protein chunks (TVP) in my instant noodles too. They’re one of the cheapest sources of protein and do not need any extra work as long as you get the small ones. Just dump it in with the hot soup and wait for it to rehydrate.
If you didn’t soak your beans, you can still do them in a pressure cooker. It’ll just take about an hour. It lets you make a somewhat last minute decision to have beans whenever you want.
halve the rice and triple the broccoli
Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you’re doing chicken broccoli rice, it’s probably because it’s much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.
A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.
I imagine it’s because Reddit is closer to the format of Lemmy and it’s something we’re more familiar with. I also wouldn’t have known that Facebook was more popular because it’s not something that anyone in my circle uses, but a lot of them use Reddit.
Right? Struggling so much to be on time that overcompensating is the only coping mechanism that works.
This is the third time now. I keep seeing you blame carbs as the main culprit for various health issues people have. It would be nice to see some primary sources to back it up.
If breathing pauses, esp. Followed by a fit, then it’s disorder (apnea).
Only if it happens frequently enough. Apparently, having this happen a few times a night is normal for healthy people.
I understand the concern, but I don’t think you’re asking the right question. I would consider goldfish to be sentient, but I’m not afraid of goldfishes. I don’t consider the giant robotic arms used in manufacturing to be sentient, yet I wouldn’t feel safe going anywhere near them while they’re powered on. What you should be concerned about is alignment, which is the term used to describe how closely the AI agent’s goals match up with that of humans. And also other humans, because even if the AI has the same goals, you still want to make sure that the humans they’re aligned with aren’t malevolent.
It’s possible that someone out there is trying to do it, but in academic settings, if you even hint at sentience, you’re going to get laughed out of the room.
