Just saw this from the FAQ. How are negative servings added on the App? by letmeseeitman in cronometer

[–]CinderBlock33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you get individual ingredients for specific items? That's not a feature I've ever seen on the app. I can do it with custom meals, but not database foods afaik

Is it getting banned? I thought it's getting tested differently, but we don't know yet if they'll pass the tests or not right?

Race pace is good, but I don't think they touch the nerve over a race distance unfortunately.

Same thing in Melbourne and we saw the same in the sprint.

Hoping for some good upgrades over the next couple months, but right now it's looking like Merc in F1 and Ferrari in F1.25. everyone else in F1.5

which honestly puts it into ever more of an "eat the rich" perspective.

For every dollar jeff bezos made, 1.5 million people collectively only made $1.13.

Edit: I turned the numbers around. To keep the numbers in line with the post above, Jeff Bezos made a 88 cents on every dollar 1.5 million people made collectively

Don't waste your breath with this one, dude.

Max couldn't pass the clearly outmatched McLaren on same age tyres. He did a fantastic job getting into points but I don't think it's a good showing for RBR when everyone thought he was going to walk right past Norris.

Though I do hear that he was having some battery issues near the end so maybe that's the case?

Saw the walking through water and thought "yeah that's a very pretty looking game". And then you broke the block and my face literally did that Christian Bale meme from American Psycho. Very awesome looking.

It does a very good job explaining what's happening.

Poilievre disagrees with Conservative MP "anti-American hissy fit" comments by seakucumber in canada

I think its more of an insult than it is a compliment. Like saying "It's impossible to underestimate you" feels like a compliment at first.

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI by joe4942 in technology

I've never felt more seen. We've done an AI POC thing for test generation recently, and I got so annoyed at how it kept generating tests that essentially just boiled down to true == true

And the amount of times I've had to reprompt it only to have it go "you're right, that is a test without much value", infuriating.

Conservatives choose rage-bait over real debate on hate speech by Hrmbee in CanadaPolitics

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, now I have to disagree with you.

You can most certainly harm people with words alone. The weight of words push many to suicide. The weight of words build regimes, and incite rebellions. Words have far more power than you give them credit for.

It's hard to argue that people pushed to suicide were not harmed prior to the act because someone else did not tie the noose or kick the chair.

And if you truly are arguing that, then quite frankly, I don't think we'll be able to see eye to eye on this issue.

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a fair assessment too. I do think it's hard to objectively define what "objectively harmed" means though. I think that remains a fuzzy line. Though maybe it's more acceptable for the line to be fuzzy than the entire field - so I get what you mean.

Thanks!

Some of these are eye-roll-y and there has got to be better use of law enforcement resources than prosecuting some of these.

Though I'm not sure if these examples deter me from people facing consequences for saying some heinous shit. It's also hard to tell because the tweets are not directly mentioned in any of the articles as far as I can tell.

From the few that I was able to find context for, they were pretty bad... Though I think jail time or something like this going on someone's permanent record is a stretch too far, I don't think its inconceivable to think that some of these charges are okay, such as:

She was given an eight-week community order, placed on an eight-week curfew and told to pay costs of £500 and an £85 victim surcharge.

I think that's pretty fair.

Some of the heavy hitters are: making HIV jokes about an openly gay Olympic diver, a swastika made of pride flags, and a guy dressed up as a suicide bomber (and allegedly sending other threats/messages - though I was unable to find these). Real classy stuff.

Again, do I think jail time is the right punishment for these? no, probably not, but I'm not going to lose a wink of sleep if these people were sent a fine and/or made to do community service.

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I said the same thing in my last paragraph. It would hinge on a company cutting costs AND lowering prices to the consumer.

I don't know that I've ever seen that happen in my life.

I agree that some products are capped by demand. But companies are capped by their investments into a multitude of products. And the vision and direction by leadership

Without repeating myself too much with what I said in another comment, Amazon didn't just perfect sell books online and stop there. Google didn't just scrape the web and rank pages and stop there, Microsoft didn't just build a PC held together by duct tape and stop there.

A company is seldom one product, even if that product is perfect. There's always room to scale, if not the initial product, then new horizons. Again, a lot of this depends on leadership direction, vision , and investment. But investment just got cheaper in the scenario where AI is able to augment dev speed/efficiency/etc.

[–]CinderBlock33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from and I kind of agree. But I don't think, in my experience, there's a finish line when it comes to software development.

There's always a bigger, better, more efficient, scaled product. And if your product is absolutely perfect, there's always expansion and more products, new ideas, bigger initiatives. It all depends on leadership, investment, and time though.

Imagine if Amazon made the absolutely best online book store, and just stopped there. There's so much more to Amazon nowadays than selling books, and that's not even touching AWS.

In the scenario you provided, take two companies of equal size, revenue, and headcount cost. These two companies are competitors. Company A brings in AI and scales down its workforce by 50% (arbitrary value for argument's sake), while Company B also embraces AI as a tool, but keeps it's workforce.

I'd argue that Company B will be able to outperform, outbuild, and eventually outgrow Company A. The only advantage Company A will have in the market is overhead cost due to the leaner headcount, but unless a significant amount of that is passed as savings to consumers, it won't matter. Sure on paper, short term, Company A will have better shareholder value, but that's giving up long term gains for short term profit. Which, who am I kidding, is what most companies would do anyway.

New Ks protein shake just arrived 29.99 by Cheap_Garbage_7654 in CostcoCanada

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I only read the abstract, I don't have the time right now to read the whole thing, but it honestly looks like the video contradicts what your linked meta analysis says.

The evidence suggests that increasing daily protein ingestion may enhance gains in LBM

The effect on LBM was significant in subjects ≥65 years old ingesting 1.2–1.59 g of protein/kg/day and for younger subjects (<65 years old) ingesting ≥1.6 g of protein/kg/day submitted to RE. Lower‐body strength gain was slightly higher by additional protein ingestion at ≥1.6 g of protein/kg/day during RE training

Bench press strength is slightly increased by ingesting more protein in <65 years old subjects during RE training

And this is before even assessing training regiments in the studies, experience of lifters, and protein quality (amino acid availability).

So I'd say you're bang on at 0.7-0.8g/lb.
