>> at half the calories, not so insignificant in a world where obesity is the #1 public health crisis
It's not so simple. The problem is that fat calories and whole milk/cream make you feel fuller, leading to decrease in eating, leading to decrease in calories
While air with sugar – especially corn syrup – doesn't make you feel full as much, leading to overeating later. High blood sugar isn't good, so your body is mostly working to turn it into stored fat as fast as possible. After it's done converting, you will feel hungry again.
Fat inside your stomach on the other side is metabolizing slowly, and it's products are mostly spend on whatever you do.
People that count their calories could make an informed choice about their calories intake and just deal with additional hunger. People that rely on hunger and individual understanding of their bodies could misjudge easily when fat is switched to gum and syrup.
Original comment stated that it was 10 documents, all LLM-generated.
In my experience, it does take a lot time and effort to find contradictions between 10 documents. Even with good documentation, it's hard to build a mental map for that amount of information.
Unless you can write a good-sounding reason why it's on them to review a LLM output before sending it to you, they will outsources this reviewing to you, and it's a lot of reviewing.
does it matter for coach gaming if I can have spare batteries and just swap them. That's honestly sounds better then increased life with only cable recharge
I'll be the third one with anecdata: somehow my switch lite battery is still okay. I recently found a good repair shop and thought about replacing it, but after paying attention concluded that it's almost the same as new
Brainfuck is quite famous though? It even started the wave of 'joke languages', I vividly remember few years when every few month somebody makes a new language
Learning brainfuck was a wildly known challenge back in my uni days (and not only for IT studunts, but in mathematician circles as well). I have yet to know any students that would get competitive over writing in Odin.
694 public odin repositories on gh vs 2064 public brainfuck repositories. And most of the brainfuck fame was before using github so wildly popular.
Brainfuck is the definition of not widely used, but notable
It's not the codes, but the physics. The first two years after a building is build, it will change it's geometry until it settles. That happens because building has a significant weight and the earth under the building was unsettled, and now is under a pressure.
Not very noticeable in a light weight houses, but even small brick one-family house will do that.
Building codes account for that, but it's better and significantly cheaper to build that way then to build a totally rigid structure. Rigid is brittle.
I never have seen it happen thought, usually hotels dont even copy the passport, they just make you fill a form and then check your passport to see if that's correct. Taking a photocopy is already next level.
Is it a region specific thing? Where did you see hotels like that?
The Z3 was a German electromechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse in 1938, and completed in 1941. It was the world's first working programmable, fully automatic digital computer. [c] Wikipedia
>> 99.99999999999999% of internet users have no idea what root CAs even are
that would be like *checks math* less than a human aware of root CA? Can't be right.
anyway, people living in russia are statistically more aware. There was a campaign after new root CA was issued. It was on a news, on the official channels, in the mail and on the posters. A lot of government sites begged to install them whenever you visited.
>> we have very little data on how bad it actually is at low dosages and via delivery methods other than tobbacco
Not true, we have a lot of data about using nicotine as pesticide. And quite a lot about oral toxicity. Pharma had nicotine sprays and tablets tasted for decades. Wouldn't be allowed on european market otherwise.
>> A lot of the risks people warn about wrt nicotine (dopamine spikes)
you misunderstand. The dopamine from coffee is purely from a personal enjoyment, while nicotine binds directly into nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. It doesn't matter how it enters the blood, it will alter neurotransmitter activity.
That's why сytisine is so good for battling a nicotine addiction — it binds the same receptors and prevents the nicotine binding. It's like swapping one addiction for another, except nicotine stays in your system for a week while сytisine leaves quickly (5h).
So, you see, it's not "the same" as coffee, it's more like taking longlasting antianixiety or ADHD meds recreationally.
When you need meds like that, altering your brain chemistry is a desirable outcome, of course. I'm not against drugs overall.
But drugs like that are prescription only for a reason.
>> some of it suggests nicotine could be helpful for ADHD
some of what I've read also suggests that nicotine could be helpful for schizophrenia. But given that we know what mechanism it targets, I fully believe we can find an alternative formula that wouldn't be so toxic to humans.
>> Why does it matter that a Guardian article was the thing that gave the writer the missing link
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the name of the magazine — and the fact that it is a magazine — matters very much when we are talking about something that is "entering public life".
If the author had read this little tidbit on a "daily dune fan blogpost", he wouldn't have any ground to claim that butlerian jihad is a part of relevant political vocabulary.
