If you read this post it shows that AMD stole Intel's design and reverse engineered it.

If you dig deeper, you'll find that AMD originally reverse engineered the *8080*, not the 8086. The two companies had entered into a cross-licensing agreement by 1976. Intel agreed to let AMD second-source the 8086 in order to secure the PC deal with IBM, who insisted on having a second source vendor.

There would have been no Intel success story without AMD to back them up.

(That actually would have been for the best. IBM would probably have selected an non-segmented CPU from somebody else instead of Intel's kludge.)

From TFS:

"Whatever the generative AI tool gives you ... you have to read those cases.
You have to read the cases to make sure what you are citing is accurate."

Since the issue seems to be attorneys not reviewing/checking their sources, I suggest the punishment be along those lines. Perhaps a week of extensively fact-checking *everything* the President says, for each offense.

Here's the thing, some folks do the discipline and keep a healthy weight, but they are basically always feeling hunger. Some people don't feel it but some people are having to constantly fight sensation of hunger, with a respite of a little bit after a meal, and almost never feeling 'full'.

If we had something to tame the rather depressive experience of constantly denying one's hunger because you know in your mind that you got the nutrition and caloric intake you need, but your body wants to eat your way to obesity.

We do have something, it's called a healthy diet of real food.

People, you are always feeling hungry because you're eating food without nutrition. That's right, empty calories and your body is deficient and this is expressed as hunger.

People are overweight largely due to two main factors, poor food choices and over-eating, which are both based in self-indulgence. The reality is if one eats whole foods in reasonable amounts, weight gain never becomes and issue and people do not feel hungry all the time.

I'm a senior citizen and I'm a vegitarian and I eat only organic whole foods i prepare from scrtch, as in cooking. I never buy factory products, I buy whole foods from organic local farms. I have the same waistline as I did in my twenties and my doc says I have the metobolic health indicators of a thirty year old. I am not the only one either, my gym has a senior's club and we all have similiar stories.

People you have been programmed by classist corprations to buy crap instead of food so rich people can get meedlessly richer by selling cheap worthless crap to 'consumers'.

Submission + - Python blood could hold the secret to healthy weight loss (colorado.edu)

fahrbot-bot writes: CU Boulder researchers are reporting that they have discovered an appetite-suppressing compound in python blood that helps the snakes consume enormous meals and go months without eating yet remain metabolically healthy. The findings were published in the journal Natural Metabolism on March 19, 2026.

Pythons can grow as big as a telephone pole, swallow an antelope whole, and go months or even years without eating—all while maintaining a healthy heart and plenty of muscle mass. In the hours after they eat, research has shown, their heart expands 25% and their metabolism speeds up 4,000-fold to help them digest their meal.

The team measured blood samples from ball pythons and Burmese pythons, fed once every 28 days, immediately after they ate a meal. In all, they found 208 metabolites that increased significantly after the pythons ate. One molecule, called para-tyramine-O-sulfate (pTOS) soared 1,000-fold.

Further studies, done with Baylor University researchers, showed that when they gave high doses of pTOS to obese or lean mice, it acted on the hypothalamus, the appetite center of the brain, prompting weight loss without causing gastrointestinal problems, muscle loss or declines in energy.

The study found that pTOS, which is produced by the snake’s gut bacteria, is not present in mice naturally. It is present in human urine at low levels and does increase somewhat after a meal. But because most research is done in mice or rats, pTOS has been overlooked.
