Now I'm curious. Why can't the same land be used to grow a soy bean for human consumption vs animal consumption? I would naively assume that at worst some land might yield top qual…

With what exactly?

Do you want your kids to have colon cancer or heart disease because there is pretty strong evidence to suggest red meat contributes to these. And there's much stronger evidence for…

Someone else linked these in the replies, but that's simply not true. Most land taken up to grow plants is used to inefficiently feed livestock. Feeding humans plants only would be…

Do you think it widely leads to behavior changes among people that support environmental causes?

Presumably you only would acquire female chickens to lay eggs. What happened to the male ones? (I don't recommend googling this). What do you do with the cow when its milk yield dr…

Personally that would be even worse for me, though I understand maybe "better" on a societal scale by some metrics. To feed a being every day and care for it, to gain its trust, to…

I went vegan six months ago after being exposed to numbers like this and thinking about it a bit. In particular, imagining extending the empathy I felt for my pets to all these oth…

There is no scientific evidence for this

I love homm2 and have been playing fheroes2 for a bit now. homm2 is truly a masterpiece. To me it's the peak of the heroes series. The art and music are both great and still hold u…

I agree I'm bullish on AI for coding generally, but I am curious how they'd get around this problem. Even if they can code at super human level, then you just get rarer super human…

"a few thousand days away" feels like such a duplicitous way to phrase something when "a few years" would be more natural to everyone on the planet. It just seems intentionally man…

I know this probably isn't the best place for a bug report/help request, but this seems cool, and the alternative to asking here, now, realistically is that I just forget about thi…

I was hoping to see this exact recommendation.

Is Nvidia even able to capture a proportionately significant amount of revenue from increases in demand for GPU cycles? As the article describes, there are real bottlenecks, but ho…

Yeah, I've been using python for the first time in a while to try out some of the llm stuff and I can't believe how bad the dependency hell is. It's probably particularly bad due t…

Wow, I had forgotten until now about this game that I must have got from a cereal box as a child and played for countless hours.

This could be a dumb question, and I assume the answer is no, but could the SIM serial data potentially be used to aid in a SIM spoof attack?

I'd be thrilled to pay for such a service if I found it even remotely sticky, and I genuinely wanted it to be. I just found it mediocre. If some of their features' benefits compoun…

I keep seeing comments like this when Kagi is brought up. One of them motivated me to try kagi about a month ago. I would love to replace google and try out every alternative searc…
