I've had high-ish LDL for ages and diet alone couldn't knock it all the way down. It's only the CAC score that provided me with peace of mind that I didn't need to reach for statins. The way I view this is that, if you c

When you get "black bean burgers" they usually have a bunch of other stuff in them which reduces the protein. Combine with a bun and you get a lot of calories without much protein. Beyond/impossible are not great, but they ar

As a vegetarian I actually prefer stuff like Beyond when eating out. The reason is simple: it has higher protein content than most other place based fast foods. I'd love to live in a world with minimally processed high protein vegetari

It was a political disaster to keep people on the status quo of employer provided coverage, which the ACA did. There's no safe path for any of this, with such effective propagandists ready to slander whatever move you make.

Back in the year 2002... Internet access was widely available. Blockbuster video was a thing in almost every town. Netflix mail service was getting big, making huge back catalogs available. DVD players often included S/PDIF out for sur

As a business it's a failure. As a way to influence public opinion? It's almost invaluable. For the world's richest man, that's a bargain at half the price.

I've settled on aider and vim. The best experience I've had is to completely divorce editing from vibe coding. Ask the chatbot to do something, then review the results as if a junior developer submitted them - that means diffs and

True for single player, but if you're into multiplayer games anti-cheat is an issue.

This is a very reasonable question. When you control the propaganda that lies between the data and the public, the underlying availability of the data is irrelevant. The propaganda already overwrites the data. Honestly I would suspect that

Don't discount peripheral support. I've got some pieces of hardware that are only kinda-sorta supported in Linux. Not a big issue if you're just using kb/mouse/controller but you can get into the weeds with VR, flig

I suppose so! I didn't realize that's how it was implemented. I guess that explains the... less than stellar reliability.

Ironically, some devices (Pixel 9 at least) have now added a tiny little touch sensor exactly where the fingerprint reader used to be - it doesn't read the fingerprint, but you can regain this functionality by mapping taps to actions.

While Trump is a complete pushover, Biden was also well in pocket. Maybe Harris wouldn't have gone this far, but the democrats were happy to carry water for Israel for a long time. I'd argue their unflinching support was also a ke

I believe this is implied in the parent's post. We fund the military industrial complex to such a ludicrous degree that $200m can just disappear on bullshit contracts to cronies that go nowhere, and politicians don't bat an eye. N

They've had these authoritarian toys for a while, but they've been careful to use them more subtly in the past. This administration is, as with everything else, discarding the "norms" based restraint that previously appl

This seems pretty crazy, right? OpenAI is presumably burning money on every token, and they're so desperate for compute they're willing to let their biggest competitor capture these profits.

I'm curious if there is any reason to use Borg these days. I had the impression that in the beginning Borg started as a fork of Restic to add missing features, but Restic was the more mature project. Is there still anything Borg has th

Wish I could edit, but I was referring to the bill splitting math specifically here. I didn't mean to quote the rest. When it comes to facts that actually matter, people need to know to verify the output.

I'm in the same camp in that I don't use them because they don't work well enough for my own tastes. But I know what I'm doing, and I'm picky. Clearly they do work in a general sense. People who don't want to c

I'm in this camp... today. But there's going to be an inflection point - soon - as things continue to improve. The industry is going to change rapidly. Now is the time to either get ready for that - by being ahead of the curve, at

I don't think that this should be downvoted because it raises a really important issue. I hate AI code assistants, not because they suck, but because they work. The writing is on the wall. If we aren't working on our own replaceme

The whole thing with gen AI is so depressing to me. For the first time now I can feel the joy of what I do slipping away from me. I don't even mind my employer capturing more productivity, but I do mind if all the things I love about t
