Slopification. On a plus side, I'm more offline later.

NFLX series and AI slop are converging fast.

Agreed comrade, only goverment sanctioned communication should be allowed.

The government already sanctions other communications, along with every other aspect of your life. Why does the internet get a pass?

I hate this common trope about health food costing more. Beans, lentil, rice, potatos, carrots, onions, cabbage, garlic don't cost a lot, add some additional cheap proteins like chicken and eggs and you're good to go for like $50 or less per week per person. And if you can buy in bulk and freeze, then it can get even cheaper.

Assuming access to a reliable cooker, safe storage, time to food prep and enough education in cooking to be able to cook. Some people on assistance fail all of those boxes, many fail at least one

It’s not a tripe. A lot of these aren’t even available in food deserts, whereas soda and garbage is ubiquitous in every corner stores and gas station etc.

Could it be because we are subsidizing that soda and garbage via SNAP? Especially in low income areas?

As the great Charlie M used to say: "Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome"

but we can't change it because that means we are making poor people miserable

That is part of the problem, yes. Not SNAP itself, which is good, but the fact that it can be used to buy garbage.

You should be restricted from buying soft drinks, chips, candy, etc. with SNAP/EBT, just like you can't buy cigarettes and alcohol with it. But nobody is willing to take on BigFood, and are content to let them prey on the poor with taxpayers footing the bill.

The second problem though is that if you restrict SNAP eligible food, you still have to provide healthy alternatives -- fresh veggies, fruit, grains, etc. -- at subsidized prices for SNAP recipients so they can actually survive on it.

It's such a shameful situation, and one that gets very little attention from either party.

What does 'now' mean here?

Probably it means that now we have evidence that… it is a colloquialism

Edit: yep, The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests.

Going by the second graph, since about 2.5 billion years ago.

What happened to then?

My lay reading of the OP’s paper is that the universe is, in fact, braking for somebody.

we passed then. we're at now now. I thought this was settled

wait, I missed it?

Recent years, probably because of large data centers /s

And even if they are, where does it say that drug traffickers should be executed on the spot? Furthermore, where is the law that punishes drug trafficking with death?

In the Philippines policies that landed Duterte in The Hague.

When school ends, I often see middle and high schoolers riding cheap (and extremely fast) e-bikes through the neighborhood, frequently blowing through stop signs and generally breaking every road rules. So it's just matter of time before it all gets over-regulated.

and by a cheap bike I mean something like these "bikes":

I wonder how it's different from when a collegue sends you an llm PR.

You get paid

And it's the employers problem, if you don't react too much emotionally

Does it really matter? Here, n is a very small number, which is almost a constant. I'd assume the iteration over the n space is negligible compared to the other parts of a request to a node.

Yes, different applications have different trade-offs.

Yeah, they even don't need devs to release it, Altman can just ask ChatGpt to write it for him. lol.
