I like that, “don’t skip gut day”

Fiber is too hard to explain.

My teen is an athlete and very much into muscle building. He tracks macros, eats more calories than the rest of us (and still lost weight as a freshman with unlimited meal plan), and always looks for more sources of lean protein or omega 3’s.

But when I try to explain the importance of fiber, “I don’t get constipated and don’t need to shit more so why should I care?” Maybe it’s my problem not knowing how to reply to that in a way that communicates the importance

It’s sad that my first reaction was “are we sure we’re posting “scientific” results from the us govt?”, and my second reaction was was “phew, 15 years old so it should be true”

But it is old data and I’d like to know if anything has changed.

• Maybe there’s trends: I eat more vegetables than I did back then although still nowhere near enough.
• Marketing has generated a lot more fiber claims for things like breads and cereals. Is that real? Enough to make a difference?

So for me personally I eat more veggies although still not enough and the bread and cereal I eat talks a lot about fiber. Are there any such trends and are they enough to make any difference?

Sure but the point was that nat allows you to choose private addresses that are by default not routed: the NAT becomes the only way internet traffic can reach your devices

Just wait until the day ipv6 is finally adopted readily and we’ll have this same argument about whether IPv6 addresses are a security feature when a /64 is too big a range to scan

Back in my day, that was the assumption: every device would get its own public IP. Now get off my lawn

Wtf

Voting is key. People could have taken the ACA as the new normal and voted progressive so we could start moving to something more progressive. Instead we voted regressive.

Can never seem to shift society at all left before it gets shoved hard right again

Hate to say it but blaming doctors is another part of class war. Let’s blame everything on high doctor salaries so insurance companies, PBMs, pharmaceutical research companies, etc can still make huge profits at the cost of the most expensive healthcare system in the workd

4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy

Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week

Yeah, I suppose so. I find plenty to hate about the way companies and too many individual apps talk about LLMs. I really hate that it’s one of the metrics my employer looks at. I always hate how wasteful speculative bubbles like this are.

But maybe this isn’t the place for me since I see some good use cases and appreciate the few times someone does it right.

• I hate how companies like Google and Microsoft are putting LLMs everywhere, making things worse for everyone, forcing everyone to deal with it
• I find it strange that there’s an LLM in my car but it Carrie’s a decent conversation and it can’t actually do anything
• I like this approach of building the mcp server. Keeping it read only, keeping it optional, and leaving the actual LLM open. I also like Apples approach where they seem to care about privacy, about executing on device, and about taking their time to put it in useful places

Yeah it is. I have no idea how you more efficiently do that task, but there’s got to be a better way

Isn’t the new fun money tariffs? No one knows what they are or where the money comes from, so he can spend it many times over without increasing “the debt”

Seems like everyone taking a left turn into crazy ville ……

This is a good approach.

1. It’s an mcp server, a “bridge”. A standard way LLMs could talk to your system. It’s not an LLM. It doesnt mandate an LLM. It doesn’t tie you to a specific LLM
2. It’s optional. Don’t use it, or don’t install it. No harm done. Even if it’s installed and running, if you don’t use an LLM with local access, no harm done.
3. Even the increased attack surface is not a big deal since it is local, optional, and focuses on reading statuses rather than executing actions
4. It’s an open standard. If you decide to use it with an LLM but don’t like the results, try a different LLM

A lot of the time it eventually comes out. It makes sense not to give details now - you have to give users a chance to patch before encouraging more attacks. However when the details come out in a couple months, no one cares anymore so it doesn’t make much impact. You have to look for it

Every attempt to make something idiot creates a bigger idiot

While I totally see the point this is already “solved” in that they shouldn’t have high beams on in the first place.

Pedestrians and cyclists are tough because drivers don’t think to toggle their high beams, even If they see pedestrians and auto-high beams aren’t any better. We’re out of luck

In my neighborhood we have very narrow streets and where there are sidewalks not pavement right next to the street. I never thought I’d appreciate the small amount of separation a standard sidewalk give but it actually does make a difference in how blinded your u are by traffic. But the bottom Line is similar to yours: this is a high density neighborhood with streetlights where no one should use high beams to begin with. Realistically there are several Poorly placed houses whose owners are probably even more frustrated
