> laxatives Basically all sugar substitutes are laxatives in sufficient quantities. And these aren't necessarily extreme quantities either! Magnesium can also be laxatives and that's a rather common supplement people take.

by Aerroon 3y ago
In some aspects the problem is food processing. A lot of magnesium gets lost when food is processed and prepared. As a result of that magnesium insufficiency and deficiency seem to be rather prevalent.

A teaspoon of olive oil is 120 kcal. 3-4 teaspoons is the calorie content of a meal. That's the equivalent of a liter of soda.

Then how did this current world order come to pass? There is no inherent force at play or divine will that stops those "robber barons" from doing all of that. The government isn't given onto us by the almighty, it's some

We should apply the same rule to all improvements. Can you imagine how many people we could employ if we banned all tools for digging and required everyone to dig by hand? We could literally create hundreds of millions of jobs!

But then your images contributed 99.9999% of the training data. Getty has a vested interest in removing "polluting" images from the dataset. The model would be almost entirely, if not entirely, on your images.

But the AI model itself does not compete with those works though. You have to use the AI model with additional input and substantial compute resources to potentially generate a work that competes. You don't read wizardlm.ggml instead
