Really? In Australia Oats are labelled as having protein in the nutritional information but they are deficient in lysene.

Well they say "Solein, protein out of thin air, is not a plant nor an animal. It originates from a natural, non-modified, single-cell organism" so my guess is that the specific micro-organism is a trade secret to protect their bus

If their website is to be believed, yes: "Solein is 65-70 % protein, 5-8 % fat (primarily unsaturated fats), 10-15 % dietary fibres and 3-5 % mineral nutrients. The macronutrient composition of the cells is very similar to that of drie

It says that it's a biorecator: "To put that in perspective, Solar Foods explains that the newly-built factory’s bioreactor can grow the same amount of Solein protein per day as a 300-cow dairy farm would produce milk protein&quot

It only reduces the ambiguity if everyone does the same and everyone knows that you've done it.

Someone is going to get left holding the bag. The reason I said 100 years is because the US went off the gold standard in 1933 (although it had a weird modified version until the 70s). There are individual stocks that have been around for o

If I want to save my money for 100 years I won’t buy bitcoin or hold cash or gold I’ll put it in index funds.

What you're talking about is using money to buy a commodity as an investment. If the currency WERE the commodity, and assuming a deflationary environment, working people would find they would have a decreasing share of the currency to

It has no underlying fundamentals. Its value is 100% speculative. Gold is somewhat similar, in that it's value is mostly speculative, but it does have some inherent utility/value. Bitcoin has value for the same reason that vinta

If you were to choose between a little bit of inflation and a little bit of deflation, you should choose a little bit of inflation. Deflation means people have a greater incentive not to spend, so dissuades investment and thus innovation

When currency was made using gold/silver it was also deflationary, which was a fucking nightmare for everyone except the very rich.

If one could have a "free market" in the sense that there were no state to begin with (which one can't) then you wind up with anarcho capitalism, in which a single entity wins because returns to capital accelerate. This singl

It's horrifying because it's not an isolated wild rich man seizure, it's the same shit that Musk, Dorsey et al believe. The whole effective altruism movement is infected with this bizarre space feudalism.

No, it’s a very specific regex for parsing a very finicky file format. It’s definitely the best tool for the job, although funnily enough ChatGPT couldn’t get it right in a single regex but Claude could. ChatGPT chickened out and kept givin

Nope, about a year or so ago we had a similar problem with the same piece of code and instead of fixing it I said “that’ll take me a couple of days the get right” and the guy I was doing it for just went and manually fixed the file format w

Why? I wrote a regex in 45 minutes the other day that would have taken me days to get right without AI. It’s an enormously underpriced production boost right now.

You just have to be a bit more specific. I have had success with AI writing code but I have to drive it. It’s a massive time saver though. I have also had success with classification tasks, like look at this email and then look at this list
