It is. But it’s worth watching until the end to see what happens with Tim and Dawn

Yep including Qwen which is a common base for other models

Sounds like a SIEM to me

Look into “the food matrix” and you’ll see what I mean.

Many ultra processed ingredients have been so pulverised that there’s no structure left to help regulate the speed at which your body can break it down and absorb it.

So it absorbs nutrients too quickly, blood sugar spike, blood sugar crash, hunger pang, and you end up eating more than you would have otherwise during your waking hours.

Multiply that by years and you get metabolic issues.

Good rule of thumb: If you’re eating things you couldn’t make in your own kitchen using ingredients that were available 200 years ago… they might not be great for you.

For the purposes of this conversation - let’s think of it as pre chewed food.

The body evolved to eat foods that take a lot of chewing and digesting. As far as I can tell, one of the biggest problems with food that is “too” processed is that it’s absorbed far too quickly and early in the tract.

Food that makes it all the way through has a slower and more even absorption rate so we don’t get hungry again as fast.

I hope the ultra processed food industry will come to be viewed similarly to the tobacco industry over time.

The human body is evidently not able to safely consume these products over the course of a lifetime and the ultimate toll on society and healthcare is already evident.

They are addictive and harmful to the body’s mechanisms.

It’s time to control the promotion, labelling and taxation of these products the same way we do cigarettes.

It depends, and that’s the point.

It’s such a wide concept. Essentially it boils down to how a brain processes sensory information and at what point it becomes overwhelmed.

We all have tolerances set at different gauges. It’s a disability if it’s at odds with the environment a person finds themselves in.

There's so much model distillation and token reselling going on, I imagine they've enabled a lot of automated checks to keep bots out. Depending on where you are and who you bank with, you might struggle to get any kind of access.

“Phraseology” is subtly different.

You mean “vocabulary”, “terminology”, possibly “nomenclature”.

This is already a month old. Suggest renaming to make this clear, or you've got people jumping on this as a brand new issue.

“Pieces of flair”

Processed food isn't the same as ultra processed. This is specifically about the NOVA classification of foods.

Keep it up for 20 years and let us know how it's working out for you.

A good way to think of UPF is that it's "pre-chewed" food, due to the highly refined nature of it. The food matrix (structure) is destroyed, which fundamentally changes how your body metabolises it, bearing in mind this is a system evolved over millions of years to break down a mixture of whole foods in stages.

It's not even about the macronutrients - it's completely mismatched to our physiology. The nutrients are quickly absorbed due to the lack of structure so you get big blood sugar spikes and dips, making it hard to manage appetite (invariably leading to over-eating).

UPF is generally low fibre, so the microbiome is starved. It often contains emulsifiers which have the effect of a detergent in the gut lining, further damaging the microbiome.

It shouldn't be called "food". It's industrially produced pseudo-food with increasingly convincing evidence that it's contributing significantly to heart disease, diabetes, mental health issues, etc.

Companies like Coca Cola overplay the benefits of exercise as the solution to health problems so they can continue to sell ultra processed "food" with an extremely healthy profit margin.

UPF isn't food. It's "edible food-like substances" and it exists to make money, not to keep you in good health through your life.

Would be interesting to know the cost as well as the price.

Yep. Every city I’ve visited feels like a giant machine designed to optimally extract money from people. London is no different, though I’d say markedly more expensive than most.

So the key difference is that in London the rules are more clearly shared for newcomers?

The goal is to travel through the fewest countries possible, not the most direct land route.

This reads like satire.

> Why eat vegetables when you can eat testicles?

Attention-grabbing nonsense.

Indeed. They’re both eligible.

I wonder if this is the death of public spaces. If you want community you need people to be able to leave their homes for extended periods and join each other in public. It should be stable stakes for any civilised democracy to have public conveniences IMHO

Defining the “what” is just as much a part of the intellectual property as defining the “how”. Both things are hard to do well IMHO

I met Kevin at a conference in Manchester where he cloned my HID access card and made an amazing demo of how easily this can get a company's workstations compromised with keyloggers. It was like watching a magician - he was a very skilled, funny, intelligent man with a wealth of knowledge. He gave me his business card (which is also a lock-picking kit) and I will treasure it.

Thanks for all you taught us Kevin, and thanks for being a beacon of curiosity and exploration.

It's definitely not about being friends - it's about being able to rely on each other.

You relationship with your manager is like your relationship with the company at large - it's a symbiosis, a contract, something that benefits both parties... until one day when it inevitably doesn't.

One day you will either leave the company or the company will leave you. Once the arrangement isn't mutually beneficial any more, the relationship is finished. There's nothing personal about that. In the meantime, you expect your manager to support and help you, set clear expectations, resolve disputes, etc and they expect you to meet the expectations of your role.

It's been online for 2 weeks already.

Yes, for settings personal goals it can be helpful.

KRs are just "things you can do to achieve the goal", so my process goes:

- What do I wish was different? - What would happen if that thing changed? - What's stopping it from changing? - How can I get over those obstacles?

The answers to "how can I get over those obstacles?" become the KRs that help achieve the O ("What do I wish was different?").

Managers are accountable for seeing this is done, but the whole team should be co-responsible for setting goals.

I worked as a software engineer for 12 years before becoming a manager and I can promise you that a team works better when everyone has input on what goals the team commits to and how the team plans to achieve those goals.

You never never never NEVER want to work on a team where your manager decides all of that and then just throws tickets at you. Screw that sideways.
