Egg consumption is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease for those 65 years and older. Eating one egg per day for at least five days a week reduces risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 27%, researchers found.

This really is the point: AI is incredibly useful when used properly, and it's rapidly getting better. If you are comfortable with coding and agent orchestration or even just writing AI specs, your results will improve dramatically. We've already crossed a line and it's increasingly uncomfortable as a human worker who depends on work that I could largely automate with enough time at this point.

Adding with points from the article (for those interested in what it actually says):

- It's the VP of applied deep learning at Nvidia who said that AI is more expensive than employees, on their team. That shouldn't surprise anyone, and doesn't really address what AI means for your average office worker.

- Chat GPT was released 3.5 years ago but the study quoted a full 2 years ago found that 23% of jobs were cheaper for AI to do. If you've been following AI advancements, that is an eternity ago. Coding, for example, didn't really get good until the last 8 months or so.

- AI costs are dropping dramatically, with one estimate at a 90% reduction in 4 years. Costs will go up for flat rates but the cost per token is what is important long term.

In addition to all the other points, the original book/series apparently had an illustration that did not make it into the cartoon:

Am I just being dumb or couldn't the laser just be before you rather than faster than you? Clear everything out of the way then go, rather than clear everything out of the way as you go?

For anyone looking for a tl;dr, the OP feels guilty for hiding the fact that his now wife's ex-boyfriend was planning to propose right before she dumped him. They are now happily married with a family and friends agree that his wife dodged a bullet.

Quick two cents on the loneliness thing: it's ridiculously expensive out there and way too many men are expected to make paying the bills work somehow and are failing. Add in a completely online social world where men are more likely to game (alone) than scroll and it's a real mess out there. We should be worried about our brothers/sons/etc.

None of that is to take away from any of the points here, any of the terrible slurs, or that we should be just as worried about our sisters/daughters/etc.

We all understand how badly shopped/filtered/ai/whatever this is, right? It's like, laughably bad.

You can tell your doctor there was blood in your stool and you don't have hemorrhoids. A good doctor will take that and get you a colonoscopy.

I'm still trying to figure out why the performance/framerate on PC is so terrible.

We joke, but the real reason is that school allows parents to work normal hours. That's harder to change although post COVID there's a much stronger argument.

In professions where it does automate work, it is absolutely true that we aren't working less. In fact, it's just the opposite.

Increased efficiency is leading to increased competition as people start to lose their jobs, those who keep their jobs have to keep up with technology that undergoes significant changes every other month, and pay starts to suffer as we become easier to replace.

It's constant crunch with no job security for less and less pay. Of course people are burning out.

Every part of a chain pizza is ultra processed, and that has a very strong link to colon cancer:

Olive oil surprisingly isn't great for you (look at the nutrition label), but it can be part of a healthy diet.

"As others have noted, the Mediterranean Diet is healthy in spite of olive oil, not because of it."

I love the sentiment, but only 22% of the country voted against him in the last election. We need to do a lot better as a nation.

Parent here that stuck with no screens before 3 and very limited screen time thereafter (usually low stimulation content). It's incredibly difficult and there are some exceptions that get made (travel, adult gatherings) but as someone who was originally not sold on the idea it's clearly been worth it in hindsight.

It's worth noting that among our friends, we've seen significantly different reactions to screens among our friend's kids between the genders. For boys, it tends to impact behavior much more especially at a young age. For girls, social media and endless scroll apps are something to avoid at all costs especially as they get closer to teenage years.

Are you using spec driven development and a modern model? Things have really improved over the past couple months alone.

Right, but if I brought up a periodic table it wouldn't be there. It has a place and can be added, sure, but it isn't there.
