I did. Did you? and anyone looking for "UPF" isn't likely to land on "Nova classification", not that the latter will tell them anything useful.

Well, exactly. I am not trying to defend crap food, but really, what are we talking about? Pancakes? Homemade grilled cheese (defining, for the moment, "american cheese" as cheese)? Breakfast cereals? Hot breakfast oatmeal? "TV" dinners? (of which there are a vast range, from obviously shite to plausibly good.)

One would hope that there's a gap between, say, bagged pork rinds vs no-frills baked pretzels. Just saying ":UPF bad, not-UPF good" is unavailing, especially if there's no consumer useful definition of a UPF.

I've seen any number of articles recently bewailing the evils of UPF's, but nothing that says exactly WHAT counts as an ultra-processed food. Wheaties? Fully-cooked sausages (e.g. GIlbert's)? Hot dogs? Pretzels? or just what exactly? There's no point in telling people that X is bad if you don't properly define what X is.

Altman and Amodie are either morons, crazy, or (most likely) doing the Big Lie thing. There's not the slightest bit of actual intelligence anywhere near today's LLM's, and I don't see it happening in my grandchildrens' lifetime.

They are Language Models, not intelligent "agents".

Back in the late 80's and 90's, I did a lot of porting among the various Unixes, mostly Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, DG, and a couple others. The HP-SUX port was always the most troublesome. The PA-RISC hardware was nice enough, but not HP-UX. It seemed like every time we turned around there was some new quirk or incompatibility. I'm glad it's gone.

Or you are working on a code base that isn't amenable to LLM assistance.

I don't know what sort of development you are doing that an LLM can create "massive" amounts of code that is anywhere near correct, but I wish you luck with it. I prefer to write my own race conditions and lock ordering bugs. I don't need something else to write them for me.

Just 41 years later than predicted.

Trust Mark Zuckerberg? That's a huge NO, and it goes rapidly downhill as one reads the rest of the title.

Ridiculous.

I'd go in a second. It won't happen, unfortunately.

rate -> rare

What a load of bullshit.

Fluoridation happened because statistics (you know, those actual records, not lies) showed that adding fluoride to water helped much more than it hurd.

Fluoride is not a common industrial waste product. Fluorine is relatively rate (compared to the other halogens). Water fluoridation is not cheap, compared to just flushing the dross down the drain or piling it up as slag. Pretending that it's a scam is a scam.

And Utah could become the first US state to subject kids to massive dental issues, while enriching dentists.

I predate fluoride in the water, and I'm sure my parents' bank account reflects it. Multiple teeth pulled thanks
to cavities regardless of how much I brushed or flossed.

If I were a dental student today, I'd move to Utah, because if this passes, it's going to be a fscking Gold Mine.

None of them, and it's going to stay that way.

To trust a half-assed, bogus, pattern matching bot? for anything that I didn't care about, maybe a few tens of seconds to see how shitty the answer is.

For anything that I take seriously, an AI bot answer can go fsck itself; I will NEVER pay attention.

No, my high school didn't have a computer room or any computer access for students at all. This was in the early 70's. Fortunately, in 1975, CMU still had the free access PDP-8 running TSS-8 available, and it took me about 2 days to become entranced. I still have some assembly code I wrote for that machine in my freshman year.
