The entire website is a bit of a red flag to me, starting with the cookie banner featuring an image of Ursula von der Leyen and some misinformation (cookie banners are not legally required).

Integrity? I understand that it's tough when incentives don't reward it, though.

Some of these questions shouldn't be that difficult to answer, and they were asked to provide an initial response anyways.

For example, further up in the bug tracker, they stated that there was an error in a script. If they were able to find an error, why can't they provide the script?

There are democratic parties that care about people's economic concerns. Just because they get discredited by extremist trolls doesn't mean they don't exist.

If they are really going to install fans to generate downforce, they will need space that the battery could otherwise occupy. The lower weight of a smaller battery is also beneficial for acceleration.

Based on the specs, I wouldn't compare the (non-existing) roadster to regular electric cars, but rather to something like the McMurtry Spéirling, which also has active downforce. It's not about range, but acceleration and cornering speed.

Haha, that's exactly the reaction you could hear from the crowd in the demo video. Made for bros by tech bros.

Motors don't need combustion, they just need to provide power. See electric motors or compressed air engines.

I'm wondering if it could even be sold to individuals given that the thrusters probably count as restricted military technology?

There are lots of situations where touching the phone is not possible or not ideal. For instance, when you're working with your hands and they are dirty, you might not want to get your phone dirty as well. Or the other way around, you might not want to touch your contaminated phone while handling food.

I sometimes use Siri to set timers while cooking. Unfortunately, adding items to the shopping list doesn't work well enough, Classic Siri is not smart enough to place them in the food section.

> The ideal person should be ecstatic with new capabilities being unlocked. But they are complaining. Why?

It's because the ideal person is put in a disadvantage against the lazy person.

Someone who actually wants to learn can use it to learn, or to improve quality, or do other beneficial things. Although it's certainly not infallible and the output can't just be trusted.

People are lazy though, and in a lot of places you'll find that for every 1 person who cares about their craft and wants to learn, there are 10 that just want to get the work done with minimal effort. So now it looks like the lazy ones are more productive than the conscientious people.

Paying bills of the same 3 companies each week is also not something that requires a LLM. In other countries, it would simply be a direct debit transaction or a scheduled bank transfer.

It's the difference between cooking and ordering a meal

That's a bad analogy because your prompt is not an abstraction of the generated code

I was about to comment that the physical structure of the food and the fiber content also make a difference. For instance, rolled oats are available in different thicknesses, and the thicker ones don’t digest as easily. Brown vs white rice is another example.

But these examples have different glycemic indexes, which the study matched for.

Daylight in the evening is not equivalent to daylight in the morning if a healthy circadian rhythm is the goal

And this seems to be another attempt at that. We already had the European Payments Initiative (with Wero), and now they are starting the European Network for Payments. Sounds like the People's Front of Judea vs. the Judean People's Front.

Edit: There was also the Euro Alliance of Payment Schemes

> Can we please acknowledge the stupidity of thinking you can replace generation with storage?

Electricity consumption is not constant, just like generation isn't constant with some sources. You can certainly replace a number of peaker plants, e.g. gas turbines, with storage and reduce costs by a lot.

Vitamin D is linked to kidney stones. You probably shouldn't supplement both calcium and vitamin D at the same time, better eat foods that are naturally high in calcium.

It's actually several months late as the post was published in July

In case the author is reading this: I’m getting a Cloudflare worker exception when accessing the page using one of my uplinks, possibly because of IPv6.

With the electrification of transportation and heating, electricity consumption is only going to increase. Not every household will be able to offset this with their own panels. More centralized solar plants and grid-level batteries will still be a thing.

As for panel production, you don’t really have to make them locally. Panels are sold with minimal margins (although your tariffs could allow for some local margins). You can make more money off installation and related services.

I can’t access the previous paper by the authors that contains details about the diets.

That being said, people don’t eat macronutrients, they eat foods. With equal caloric intake, a vegan diet is going to be higher in fiber and lower in fat and protein than a diet that includes meat. That’s probably part of why it’s healthy, but the reason for doing this study is to understand the mechanisms in more detail, rather than just claiming that one is better than the other.

When you say they should have supplemented fiber, you’re also implying they should have had less meat. According to the linked paper from this year, the meat-rich diet included at least 150g of meat per day, which is just a bit more than a chicken breast or a single burger patty. Probably in line with what many expect from a balanced meal.

That’s a false equivalence, not all evidence has the same quality. I don’t think there’s any doubt across serious scientists that meat intake should be limited for positive health outcomes.

Funny how science deniers will downvote anything that doesn’t fit their world view

“Ketones are normal gasoline” is a very fringe view.

Ketone supplements have been available for a while, and nobody was able to show any benefit of using them. 100% snake oil.

If on the other hand you want to produce ketones endogenously, you basically have to put your body in a state of starvation. It’s not really gasoline then, more like burning the passenger seats as fuel so you can arrive at the destination.

When exogenous carbs are available, they are used preferentially, also at rest. Carbs need to go somewhere, and they only end up in fat storage after all other options are exhausted.

As intensity increases during exercise, the body starts releasing muscle glycogen. If previously the muscles were mostly using fat (because no exogenous carbs were available), now that endogenous carbs are ready, the muscles will use them instead. You cannot, however, reduce muscle glycogen use by supplementing extra carbs.

It has the ring of “load-bearing” and “belts and suspenders”, but in this case, it really is a one-dimensional bin packing problem.

It's true that this is happening a lot. And I think this is one of the reasons why ethicists still want to get involved in these companies: it should be easier to make a company do the right thing from the inside, why else would they hire for these positions? They join with idealism and probably don't get very far in terms of real impact.

Companies are not bound to sociopathically pursue profit. It would be in their long-term interest to care about stakeholders outside the boardroom, and until a certain person with tiny hands started a war on anything remotely "woke", the market rewarded ESG metrics.
