Food in the tunnels is how you get even more rats… And what would happen when one breaks inside. What about rotting food spillage.

Please don’t pollute the rivers. Do something else please.

Most of Africa, from what I heard from African developers.

There are still large patches where the internet has outages often, data centers there too suffer from it. Same with energy, depending on the region it is not a guarantee.

(This is of course a consequence of Africa still transforming and putting up infrastructure, and it varies vastly depending on the region).

It’s hard to code with remote LLMs if they can go dark for half a day, and it is pricey to have it running on a local stack (at good token output speed).

Sure one can, currently, get decent code output by using hundreds or thousands of tokens, or using multiple LLMs / loops, or having agents go burn however many on iteration!

This always stumps me. Because if that was true, Anthropic products (API, Cache, Claude Cowork, Claude Code) would not be shitty.

They are shitty. They are coded shittily, and Anthropic is unable to solve some bugs for years now. E.g. there is the console flickering bug that they tried to fix 3 times and rollbacked or failed all of them.

Or maybe we define decent differently.

The author could totally rehash the ancient Athenian arguments, as their flavour of democracy was Sortition - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition . They (e.g. Aristotle, Plato) argued against elections - because rich and wealthy would capture them and take over the government, perverting it to further enrich themselves. The only way to have a democratic body was to select Senate (slight simplification, read the wiki for details) at random from all adult citizens.

This has been known to humanity for over 2500 years.

This concludes my democracy talk.

Thank you very much!

Does that mean my post where I ask for hardware storage options for my selfhosted Jellyfin will be unremoved?

2TB, but I’m also new to this. I am literally running ffmpeg on some of the shows to compress them a little or dropping unnecessary audio streams

To clarify, my argument is that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Erodos unit distance conjecture is a proposed solution to a Erodos unit distance problem. What the LLM model did was disproving Erodos unit distance conjecture, not solving it (you don’t solve a conjecture), nor solving the problem (that remains unsolved).

Again, you seem poisoned by following news media cycle without understanding what they talk about.

Multiple new vectors of attacks, automation of attack pipelines…

Like literally just put that into Google, it’s not some study that proves it, it’s the multiple ones, and every cybersecurity expert talking about it. But if you want a one source you want to argue about, then https://blog.checkpoint.com/research/global-cyber-attacks-rise-in-january-2026-amid-increasing-ransomware-activity-and-expanding-genai-risks/

Whoopps, my bad, I read it as Google Keyboard. I can blame not having my first coffee for the brain fog.

I need to try different keyboards as I’m not loving the GOS one

Considering it sends anything and everything to Google servers then yes, you should.

Ignore it I read the name wrong

If text-to-speech is what Youtube uses to autogenerate the subtitles, it is worthless for anything that uses slightly richer vocabulary.

solving something like the Erdős unit distance conjecture

Tell me you listen to media news cycle without understanding what that actually mean without telling me that.

That’s not exactly what happened, isn’t it.

Not to bring up what’s also been accomplished in cyber security

Multiple new vectors of attacks, automation of attack pipelines…

How else do you plan on tracking 34000’s peoples diet for 12 years? Lock them in a lab?

Track local shop data what sales there to double check if people are not lying.

You you must track people until a statistically significant portion of them die.

That’s my point - they didn’t repeat the questionaire every x years. They didn’t check if self-reported habits changed. What they in fact measured is “if people in the ~30 have those habits, what is their life expectancy”. Heck, for all we know, at 40 they all became cat eaters or smthing.

Yeah and I never claimed it was only cuz of not eating meat.

That’s how I read your previous comment.

Why do you think natural selection optimizes humans for longevity? (living 85 years free of chronic disease). Evolution just optimizes for survival to reproductive age and successful child bearing.

That’s not what I meant. I meant that our digestive system is optimized for (some) meat intake - see e.g. iron and meat effect on iron absorption (from measly 1% non-heme iron to whooping ~15% non-heme iron absorption if meat is present in the dish).

a meat-heavy diet is bad for life expectancy

We agree on that, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Adventist vegetarian men and women live to be about 83 and 86, comparable to

Study: www.medicosadventistas.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Ten-years-of-life-Is-it-a-matter-of-choice.pdf

Ignoring fact, that the study was a self-questionaire, performed 40 years ago, and did not check if the Adventist do continue the healthy habits; with all the goodwill that I can muster:

• vegetarians are defined as eating meat no more than once a month, semivegetarians no more than once a week
• no vegans
• each of life expectancy markers yield statistically same result 1.5-2.5 years: not smoking, medium bmi, exercise, eating nuts, being vegetarian.

I am plant-based myself (the study would mark me as semivegetarian). I am very careful about proclaiming that meat is unhealthy in any dose, because that’s not how humans evolved for the past 300 000 years.

If your take is that it’s better now because it’s bigger, then it’s a wrong take. Heritage chicken is vastly healthier than broiler.

Not eating meat AT ALL is such a novel thing for human gastroevolution that I personally prefer to wait 5k years or so to see the outcomes before commiting. That includes eating diet supplements, who might or might not work.

, usually related to sifting or searching data

No matter the harness, no matter the spell, no matter the model, it is failing me daily in that regard, in my field of expertise. And the failures are random between inconsequential to grandiose.

Heck, the thing it should be doing best - summaries - are constantly either missing the point or focusing on wrong take.
