I've also seen a codebase with a mix of English and Portuguese variable/function names and comments. In that particular case, the Portuguese variable/function names were basically treated as technical debt, with a gradual ong

It's conceivable that we could send the seeds of humanity and other terrestrial life — along with AI systems capable of raising it, terraforming the planet as necessary, and building a society. We might not ever travel there or receive

I don't have a strong opinion on whether something we'd universally agree to call "AGI" is particularly close, but in terms of physical automation, I would say that we're on the cusp of having a lot of not-quite-AGI

That's an interesting framing, but "all other things being equal" is doing a lot of work there. In an alternate timeline where ChatGPT needed 1000x compute capacity to run, Nvidia wouldn't make 1000x the revenue from Ope

Reading between the lines, it sounds like there's less of a concern at this time for the profitability of this particular venture, and more of a national interest in making state-of-the-art AI viable on last-gen silicon. The win condit

Agreed, but unironically. US tobacco consumption is at a historic low, while people are dying from an opioid epidemic and fentanyl contamination, and somehow the War on Drugs is nearly unquestioned as good policy? Prosecuting people for mak

I rarely touch physical cash, but when I do I feel like I need to wash my hands.

In my experience after a decade of trial and error, inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit[1] is pretty much a perfect sugar substitute. If anything, the texture might be a little better than sugar. Inulin is slightly tricky to w

(Although PlantFusion includes guar gum too, so maybe that point was overly nitpicky. It just seemed odd to make that variable dependent on your choice of flavor.)

Nice, thanks for the recommendation! That looks like an awesome product, definitely something I'd consider experimenting with in the future. I was able to put together a blend that's pretty close to my current mix: https:/&#

Yeah, I pretty much see it like something in between Wikipedia and reddit. It's great as a first pass for really specific questions that Google wouldn't help much with, especially when they require follow-up, but I wouldn't t

Looks like I'm paying $16.57/lb for PlantFusion on Amazon and $27.27/lb for Transparent Labs on their website. I didn't find any better keto-friendly options without artificial sweeteners, but it's not a massive exp

Q: Is it true that rice protein is more likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than other plant proteins? What about pea, artichoke, sprouted amaranth, quinoa, and algae? A: Yes, *rice protein* is more likely to be contaminated with he

by buu700 2y ago
Yeah, it's not definitive, but was nice to see it addressed at all. GPT mostly corroborates their basic claim at least, with the caveat that one of the five protein sources in use (algae) can be high-risk depending on where it was sour

I use PlantFusion in my pre/post-workout protein shakes (in combination with Transparent Labs whey protein isolate and a couple different types of collagen powder), and this was one of the reasons I liked it: https://plantfu

Agreed, I'm really not a fan of the square look, and the Pixel Watch looks great. I'd probably get one if Google sold a claspable mesh band like the one I use with my Galaxy Watch[1], or had better support for third-party bands. I

I use inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit [1], which measures 1:1 for sugar with equivalent sweetness, and the results are excellent. I know what you mean, though. Years ago I used to just use liquid stevia, and texture was ne

Exactly! And just to clarify, the `verify` script is a Cyph feature that I added to allow comparing a local reproducible build against the production build, not a general npm feature. Running `npm run verify` in any random JS project won&#x

Just to expand on this and clarify one point, as someone who's been keto for over 12 years, the meat part isn't even necessary. Nowadays I pretty much get all my protein from mycelium (Meati cutlets and Quorn grounds), eggs, and w

Another fun factor I learned about five years ago is temperature. My gym was offering a complimentary fitness evaluation, which among other things included a blood pressure test. The trainer was horrified to see 140-something over something

I wouldn't say inherently. Trying and failing to quit is plainly a failure of willpower on some level, albeit an understandable one given varying levels of nicotine addiction. Perhaps it could also be a failure of information (helpful

Personally, I've never seen obesity as a failure of character or willpower, at least as long as I can remember having any particular views on it at all. I see it as a failure of information and choices. Obesity was rare until the Unite

lol, I'm certainly not advocating for that, but I'd rather they release 100 new messaging apps than kill Google Voice.

Pretty much this. Using the term "open source" (rather than "shared source", "public source", or "source available") was a good faith mistake, and we fixed that once it was pointed out. Beyond that, I

Cyph cofounder here. To be clear, the primary purpose of the license change was to allow users to validate reproducible builds of our code against the production version of Cyph without fear of technically violating the Ms-RSL license. OP&#

I've been burned by Google too many times, but I'm definitely thankful for them continuing to maintain Voice, and even actively improving it over the last few years. I've been using it as my primary phone number since the Gra

I went from a cheap electric ages ago, to cartridge razors, to a DE safety razor, stuck with that for a decade, and finally landed back on electric. Modern electric razors give me the best shave I've ever gotten. The shave is as close

That makes sense, I could definitely see things play out that way too.

I personally don't mind the candybar-style camera and think it looks kind of cool. It's definitely not something I actively notice or think about while using the device, and I like that when I set the phone down the entire screen
