Healthier is highly subjective, but this sure sounds healthier to me:

> "The desirable nutritional changes that occur during sprouting are mainly due to the breakdown of complex compounds into a more simple form, transformation into essential constituents and breakdown of nutritionally undesirable constituents. This is a reason why sprouts are also called pre-digested foods."[12]
"The metabolic activity of resting seeds increases as soon as they are hydrated during soaking. Complex biochemical changes occur during hydration and subsequent sprouting. The reserve chemical constituents, such as protein, starch and lipids, are broken down by enzymes into simple compounds that are used to make new compounds."
"Sprouting grains causes increased activities of hydrolytic enzymes, improvements in the contents of total proteins, fat, certain essential amino acids, total sugars, B-group vitamins, and a decrease in dry matter, starch and anti-nutrients. The increased contents of protein, fat, fibre and total ash are only apparent and attributable to the disappearance of starch. However, improvements in amino acid composition, B-group vitamins, sugars, protein and starch digestibilities, and decrease in phytates and protease inhibitors are the metabolic effects of the sprouting process."

My Nokia 2780 4G flip phone running KaiOS takes 8-9 seconds from pressing the send key to visibly sorting the recent calls list. My ex said that it was probably programmed in Java. Everything else is slow, including dialing digits from the home screen, and I always end up misdialing or something. My 2G Nokia 5160 and 8890 had instantaneous UIs 20-25 years ago, and those had ARM7TDMI CPUs. What if I need to call 911?

One imagines it's the term "nascent" which is an obsolete/anachronistic descriptor for a chemical substance. It would be a little bit like using "caloric" (a substance once postulated in order to explain heat) or "luminous ether" (a medium once postulated to explain propagation of light) in an ad pitch.

Not to give anyone any ideas....

(To be maximally clear/fair, all three of these concepts were part of healthy scientific discourse at one period of time, but have since faded into obscurity. That said I don't know that "nascent" anything was ever demonstrated to have health benefits, at least in virtue of its purported nascence).

That's Jerry's "thing." Jerry Holkins has always enjoyed how weird English is and what you can do to someone's brain with a few precisely-chosen words aligned in the right order; it's his writing style.

If he applied his approach to Python coding, he'd be one of those folks who isn't happy until their entire program is a single `do()` method that executes by using decorators to synthesize classes and metaclasses out of thin air, that themselves generate the Python code as strings, that itself gets `eval()`'d to execute the intended program.
Google used to do more of that sorta stuff: amp pages, google images would not link to the original page, full summaries in the "rich results" box etc. but got in trouble with lawsuits from Getty Images & others.

My impression of generative AI is that yes, it is not any one specific result, which is in some ways even worse because artists cannot get any credit or compensation whatsoever despite the end result depending at least partially on their work.

Something the article seems to overlook is why these seemingly antithetical companies are selling similar products. These are all 'white-label' products with high profit margins. Go to sites like Alibaba and you'll find countless manufacturers and distributors offering the same white-label health products you see on sites like Goop and Infowars.
The D term is complicated.

Where you do you get the derivative? If you have to differentiate the input, and there is noise, the raw derivative will have huge variations. Then you need a low pass filter before the differentiator. This introduces lag. So you now have both D gain and filter frequency to tune.

See any classical control theory book for the theory on this.
Let's say I'm an artist. I have, thus far, distributed my art for consumption without cost, because I want people to engage with and enjoy it. But, for whatever reason, I have a deep, irrational philosophical objection to corporate profit. I want to preclude any corporation from ever using my art to turn a profit, when at all possible. I have accepted that in some sense, electrical and internet corporations will be turning a profit using my work, but cannot stomach AI corporations doing so. If I cannot preclude AI corporations from turning a profit using my work, I will stop producing and distributing my work.

Do you think it's reasonable for me to want some legal framework that allows me to explicitly deny that use of my work? Because I do.

This isn't about giving "rights" to machines. Machines are just tools. The question is about what humans are allowed to do with those tools. Are humans using AI models and humans not using AI models equivalent actors that should have the same rights? I'd argue emphatically yes they should.

Yes, and pumpkins are squashes (Cucurbita) but pumpkin originates in New England USA where it refers to the orange squash gourd used to make Halloween carvings and decorations. Being that I'm from the US, this is "pumpkin". Not to downplay squash-based pastries or pies but there's only one pie that I will eat, day or night, no matter what - the beautiful, delicious, pumpkin pie. Plain, with whipped cream, with ice cream, with chocolate drizzle, with caramel.
In .net async won where lock and mutex does not work (lock is like synchronized, not exactly the same, tough). That’s why most libraries use SemaphoreSlim which would work with green threads. But that’s more because of the ecosystem. I’ve barley stumble upon lock’s and mutex is mostly used in the main method since it acquires a real os mutex, not really a cheap thing but for GUIs it’s clever to check if the app is running. Most libs that use system.threading.task use semaphoreslim tough.

This is explained further down in the article. Nascent iodine is in quotes because it doesn’t even seem like real quantifiable product.

The other supplements are real things with at least some semblance of scientific inquiry, but to quote the article:

> We couldn’t find any reliable scientific information on “nascent iodine.” ... The “nascent” stuff is supposed to have an “electromagnetic charge” that makes it easier to digest. ... iodine in this “charged” form cannot even exist in liquid form, which is how Alex Jones and company distribute it.

> do you play bluegrass as your main gig or as a side hustle?

Main gig, although of course the sands are shifting rapidly with regard to what that means, for precisely the reasons this conversation is so stimulating.

> Your new album is a bop.

Jeez man that's a nice thing to say. I'm really proud of it. We worked really hard on it. It has been fascinating to see and hear the responses; the story that I tell is one of "open source" and "traditional" having roughly the same meanings as applied to the intellectual property frameworks surrounding them.

I'm curious to hear what you might think of the album played in this order; I think it gives a darker and more contemplative perspective:

> talk to other artists, especially those who are artists as their main hustle.

As you can see from the ensemble on my record, I've become friendly with a good chunk of the mainstream bluegrass world (which is a fairly tight-knit community). I think that a lot of artists are just very frustrated with the system as it is, where they are pitted against their own fans (or whomever wants to simply download and listen to their music) with the industry acting decidedly as a middle-man.

I am reasonably (but not totally) confident that musicians, and particularly purveyors of what have come to be called "the traditionals", will be among the main forces seeking to dismantle the IP system in the next couple of decades.
Yes they do. One of my current search jobs (no pun intended) on LinkedIn is "staff engineer", two of the others being "architect", and "consultant".

And while the amount of jobs on that level is - understandably - a lot smaller than lets say "senior software engineer" they still pop up because while there is a enormous demand on the junior/senior level (and quite some supply) highly skilled people who can perform on beyond that are extremely scarce while there is quite some demand due to a ever expanding IT market.

At least especially here in Northern Europe, YMMV.

For those curious another common major percentage of “pumpkin pie” blends (such as from Libby’s) is Dickinson squash/pumpkin which is a subspecies of Cucurbita Moschata like butternut squash. These can be found as heirloom seeds. https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-are-dickinson-pumpkins-52...

Here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, we grow a lot of crops for seeds, of which various squashes are some. It’s amusing to see the first time, but squash grown for seed is typically just shredded in the field, with seeds collected and the flesh tossed out over the field. Results in a lot of “wtf are they doing” among those unfamiliar, because it looks exactly like pumpkins were grown just to immediately destroy them.
But it's a key though. It goes on the keychain.
Unless you don't carry around keys either, in which case yes, that would be very inconvenient indeed.

Also, your Yubikey is probably less likely to be stolen or break, but I figure it's much easier to lose it, which is why you might want to have two, just in case. And that's where it gets really inconvenient.
What is the conspiracy theory here? The claim is that 2 crackpots from opposite extremes of the political spectrum know their fans are easily duped, so they sell similar fake products to enrich themselves. It's not a conspiracy, it's just a correct observation.
> The reason that AI models are generating content similar to other people's work is because those models were explicitly trained to do that.

Ah, just like humans who train against the output of other humans. AI models are not fundamentally different in kind in this regard, only scope, and even that isn't perfectly obvious to me a priori.
Exactly; their flesh, blood, energy, etc. does matter. This is my argument for it, not for your argument against it, lmao. There's nothing more remarkable about my planted potato row vs the tractor planted rows, and my energy can be spent elsewhere. I am not entitled to making a living hand planting potatoes if there's not a market for it.

People have the choice to continue making stories and they'll have a fanbase for it and always will, because that's ultimately apart of freedom and choice. Many are less what I'll call purists here, and don't care about how it came to be, they just want a quality story.

What you're loosely proposing is art being a protected class of output, when we have tools that can match and soon with the potential to surpass. Is that not a terrific way to stunt what you're trying to defend?

For transparency, I am an advocate for human made art, but I am against stunting tooling that can otherwise match said creativity. I see that as an artform in itself.

Oh give me a break. People like Trump and Clinton are the creme de la creme of deranged narcissistic sociopaths—part of the reason why they have gotten “so far”. Yet you are worrying about relatively harmless average Joes and Janes looking up to these people? Very weird priorities considering that people like Trump just have very few or no built-in stops. Unlike most people. A normal person can’t just live like a sociopath and also be able to sleep at night.

You see these people ruining everything and you think to yourself: you know the problem here is that hypothetically someone might be inspired to steal my television if I leave the door unlocked.
> Style is a reflection of who you are. You can maybe imitate it, but you can't be it.

The word grift has been diminished to polarized meaninglessness. The linked piece defines it as-

"So the heart of a grift is that you get something that, in a technical sense, is what you paid for, but that is also not worth what you paid for it."

This arguably makes literally every transaction a grift through some lens.

There was a big case a few years back where the directors of an ice cream company were found to be liable for not paying sufficiently close attention to food safety issues (Marchand v Barnhill). Since then, this type of claim - historically a tough one for plaintiffs to prevail on - has become increasingly popular. One was brought against the Solarwinds directors for the hack (the directors won) and another was brought against the Boeing board for the (first round of the) 737 Max debacle. I don’t know how that case turned out - I know the plaintiffs won an early procedural victory, and I assume Boeing settled, but in a quick search, I can’t find anything definitive on the current status of that case.
I've been heavily involved in a city council before that was trying to attract stores (especially a grocery store), so I'm pretty familiar with how it works, and this mostly incorrect. In fact, people going out of their way to get the produce elsewhere works against a new store, because the stores see that as cannabilization should they open a new closer location.

The decision to open new stores is mostly based on "number of daytime wallets in the area," which itself is mostly tied to the other existing businesses in the area. For example, for one major grocery chain, they wouldn't even consider it until we had 50,000 daytime wallets. For a commonly known gigantic home improvement chain, they wanted 100,000. It doesn't matter how badly people in the area want it. It just comes pretty mathematically with growth.

If you already have a grocery store that doesn't carry fresh produce, you can (sometimes) improve things by speaking with the store management, but beyond that you're pretty much out of luck unless you are willing to open your own store.
