oifjsidjf··on Doing what you love when the money won’t follow
1) Figure out something that you are good at but don't like and make plan how to levarage that in the best way to become financialy indepenend (aka rich) from that.

2) Now you can do what you want.

For the average Joe this means that we'll be spending a lot of time outside of work working on 1). There is no other way for those of us from non-rich families: we have to wisely sacrifice free time and convert that free time into a non-linear $$$ return in the most practical way possible.

oifjsidjf··on Rise of generative AI will be comparable to the rise of CGI in the early 90s
There is already 3D model AI generation, though it still needs some work. But as they say "2 more papers down the line..."

oifjsidjf··on Twitter restricts staff from policing content violations ahead of US midterms
Mainstream media getting triggered that they're not the only one with a microphone anymore.

I love it!

oifjsidjf··on Video game graphics are a ticking time bomb – industry needs to focus on art
Nice graphics is useful for marketing and sales, Crysis is the best example.

But otherwise it's obvious that they don't matter once the player actually buys the game and starts playing. Proof: Minecraft, World of Warcraft...

oifjsidjf··on GM pauses paid advertising on Twitter
Would be ironic if Musk would ban them from Twitter until they restart paying again.

After all, Twitter doesn't need to cater to GM.

Free to pull the plug, free to have the plug pulled on you.

oifjsidjf··on AI-generated art sparks backlash from Japan’s anime community
The cat is out of the box. Adapt or die.

I, as an consumer, don't care if anime/manga/textures/etc... are created via hand or AI.

I just want a good story or good entertainment.

Thus, my vote with money will go to whoever creates the best story or entertainment.

I don't care about you needing 20 hours to create a handpainted manga, I want my entertainment: and if someone who cannot draw uses AI to create a 10x better story than someone who can paint but is shit at stories...well..though luck, I don't care.

oifjsidjf··on How food powers the body's metabolism
"Just less food overall" never works. There are 2 diets that work for weight loss: 1) High-fat, low carb. 2) High-carb, low fat.

Stick to one of those and keep the fat-to-carb ration in a 1:6 or 6:1 ratio based on what you pick (this ration comes from the eg Japanese eating 6x carbs for each 1g fat).

This is why opposing diets like carnivore or the potato diet both work, despite them being on the opposite extremes of the high fat vs high carb spectrum.

But god help you if you mix fats and carbs in the same amount...

The randle cycle is the likely explanation.

oifjsidjf··on How food powers the body's metabolism
Because modern education is trash.

This article truly is briliant, the opposite of how 99% of modern teachers teach.

oifjsidjf··on Feynman’s Breakthrough: Disregard Others
This is a destructive way to go about life.

Imagine saying something like this to a kid or a young adult: you will make him think he is unworthy and that "it's not for him", thus destroying any potential he has because of your closemindedness.

oifjsidjf··on Lego Is Discontinuing Mindstorms
My very 1st programming experience was on this baby as a ~10yo kid.

http://www.technicopedia.com/8479.html

Still remember how instane it felt.

I remember that when constructing the truck I forgot to add in some gears so the claws didn't rise properly and I had to dissasemble the entire cabin again: my dad almost had to force me to do it because I was constructing it for so long that I was totaly tired and just wanted to be done with the damn thing.

oifjsidjf··on Association of Video Gaming with Cognitive Performance Among Children
Offtopic but I have to say it: feeding young boys drugs because they are "hyperactive" is a pure expression of how backwards we have everything.

Young boys are meant to be energetic, so obviously they will rebel when they are locked in a room for 6+ hours a day, forced to learn things, 95% of which every honest adult will admit has zero practical impact on life.

oifjsidjf··on Exposure to environmental toxins may be root of rise in neurological disorders
Honey can be common in some parts of the planet, yes. Honey is also partially seasonal, there is less of it at some time + they didn't have artifical bee hives that would produce tons of honey.

Fruit on the other hand: 1) is seasonal 2) modern fruit is totaly different than fruits ~200 years ago: most fruit in nature had hardly any sugars in it: only the modern fruits have. So modern fruit should be thought of as a severely modified form of plants: they didn't exist and were not eaten 200 years ago in the current massive-sugar-form + were only consumed seasonaly since they couldn't ship it around the world in a few days or weeks.

TLDR: fruit was non-sweet, from what I know (might be wrong) berries are the only ancient-like fruits nowadays (10k years ago). There were grapes etc..yes..but if you ate homegrown old-school grapes you'd know they can be very sour actually, often not sweet at all.

oifjsidjf··on Exposure to environmental toxins may be root of rise in neurological disorders
>> is a yet to be identified autoimmune disorder

These things didn't exist ~120 years ago. So even if it as autoimmune disease it's caused by something new: and this all started (and can be healed to a certain or complete degree) via sugar elimination.

So "autoimmune disease" is downstream from sugar consumption.

Also, most of what we call "autoimmune disease" is BS: eg when they say that T1 diabetes is autoimmune they actually found damaged protein in the pancreas cells and the immune system was actually saving the pancrease from those damaged proteins.

But if the diet is bad those damaged proteins will keep being shuffled there: so it's not the immune system that hurts you: it's the chronic poisoning of tissue with stuff that should not be there -> then over time the immune system does some colleteral damage which compounds due to the chronic toxicity -> so the problem is chronic toxicity, not "autoimmune".

The same is true for arthritis: you can find stuff that should not be in the joint capsule there for people with arthtiris: the immune system then over time does some damage as it tries to save the joint from the foreign bodies which are chronicaly accumulated.

TLDR: autoimmune disease is mostly pure BS, it's chronic toxicity. It's just that we know how to detect white blood cells (WBC) betters in the blood than other (yet unknown) substances.

BUt just because you see a higher WBC count doesn't mean it's autoimmune: it's just that you can't find the real reason why WBC are activated.

About the gut: modern processed food is so unnatural that it destroys the gut barrier -> so again, not an autoimmune disease, but a pure food induced disease.

The stuff starts leaking from the gut into the blood which poisons the body (and the liver primarly, but from the liver it spreads into the blood).

oifjsidjf··on Exposure to environmental toxins may be root of rise in neurological disorders
>> The mystery behind the astronomical rise in neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s could be caused by exposure to environmental toxins that are omnipresent yet poorly understood, leading doctors warn.

Keto/low carb/and especially fasting+lowcarb was shown to help in many of these diseases.

This article smells like misdirection away from sugar which is a poison which our kids eat in insane quantaties.

It's because of fructose (sugar) that fatty liver disease and T2 diabetes, which was once a disease that only appeared in adult alchoholics, now also happens in children and non-alchoholic adults: ~1980 was the 1st known case of a kid getting fatty liver.

One study found a quick way to eliminate fatty liver in kids: replacing 10% to 15% of carb calories of fructose with glucose.

Fat + fructose is also particulary dangerous, though the issue is not fat but fructose, it's just that when you combine them the negative effects of fructose get much, much more severe.

What does alzheimer and cancer have in common? Both cells have damaged mitchochondria. The difference between neurons and non-neuron cells in other parts of the body is that neurons do not have the ability to use the Warburg effect since they are missing some glycolictic machinery in order for that to happen. This is why neurons cannot go "full cancer" like other cells in the body and just "die peacefully": BUT that deaths might then create negative side effects later.

One video below clearly shows that cancer is NOT caused by mutations of the nucleus of the cell, so this theory seems to be totaly wrong. It seems to be related to damaged mitochondria due to way too much fructose and glucose.

This ties in well why people had total cancer remission with water fasting + keto.

Also many people have that amyloid plaque in the brain and yet have zero dementia, so there goes the amyloid plaque theory.

In a way you could say that all of these diseases are "diabetes of the cells", just expressed in different forms.

High sugar load also causes high blood pressure through uric acid production -> this blocks N20 production in blood vesseles -> and there goes your ability to regulate blood pressure out through the window.

(I myself cured my own high blood pressure just be elimnating all processed sweets, I still eat tons of salt, I experimented with ~10 to 20g of salt per day and still had a blood pressure in the ~125/75 range, but before on processed sweets it was ~145/95).

Overconsumption of fructose (therefore sugar) seems to be the main cause. Even if you remove fructose (and sugar) from the human diet we humans never ate a high carb diet until the last 10k years ago when we started growing grains.

While glucose (eg starchy food like oats and potatoes) is less damaging than fructose (thus sugar) it's still not harmless.

Those who are interested in this topic can view these sources:

One can also find examples of full cancer remision in these links (TLRD: water fasting for ~5-7 days than a keto diet). One can more examples of this on the net.

oifjsidjf··on Rishi Sunak will be next UK prime minister
If you literaly just write "WEF rishi sunak" in the google you get this: https://www.weforum.org/people/rishi-sunak
oifjsidjf··on Windows Subsystem for Android declared ready for prime time
I tried it with a few simple apps and the performance in very simplistic card-like games was ~20 fps on a very powerful PC. The input lag was very noticable when dragging cards with the mouse, so the performance is very, very far from native.
oifjsidjf··on Don't blame Lionel Messi for carbon emissions,other footballers are culprits
The solution is not to ban private jets etc..

It's to create an alternative engine technology.

oifjsidjf··on Tirzepatide delivered up to 22.5% weight loss in obese or overweight adults
You are free to do so!

Just don't be suprised when in 20 years "the science" will tell you that they were wrong (again) lol.

oifjsidjf··on Tirzepatide delivered up to 22.5% weight loss in obese or overweight adults
Imagine thinking a pill is a solution to eating garbage food.

There are still people who think that food is not to blame.

No one was fat 150 years ago.

What do you think will happen if people start gobbling up these pills while still eating garbage? It will just mask the damage being done to the body.

Meanwhile big pharma will be rolling in cash while people will end up destroying their bodies even more.

oifjsidjf··on The Low Cost of Cancelling Someone
You will never win against these people with nice words.

Only going on an aggressive offense will work.

A bully will never back down if the victim apologizes: this will cause the victim only to be bullied more.

The bully must feel the hard fist of his victim breaking his nose, there is no other way.

oifjsidjf··on What is it like to have a brain? Ways of looking at consciousness
Assuming that "boredom" exists for such a being as God is a human projection that might have zero relevance in the domain of the absolute.
oifjsidjf··on Single wind turbin produces 359MWh during 24 hours period
So what happens where there is a high electricity requirement and no wind?

People don't understand that electricity production has to be CONSTANT AND RELIABLE as it cannot be stored at our current technological level.

What good is 100% renewable energy generation 3 days in a month if the other 27 days will need to turn on and off constantly gas plants?

oifjsidjf··on Order Pizza from TES4 Oblivion: Nickies' Pizzablivion -mod
That's actually genius.

Image the money potential: Bethesda can add in the next Fallout update this feature in: now you don't even need to pick up your phone/alt-tab the game and you get a pizza,

Bethesda gets a 20% cut!

Next version of IAPs?

oifjsidjf··on Sweden’s incoming cabinet says new nuclear reactors will be built
How exactly will you be 100% renewable during a cloudy and windless period with solar and wind?
oifjsidjf··on White House is pushing ahead research to cool Earth by reflecting back sunlight
>> It's interesting to me how much people are trained to reflex against this possibility.

It's interesting to me how much people are trained to reflexively ignore the potential unknown side effects that can occour when messing with a complex system.

Have you ever thought that perhaps it's people like you who have it wrong? Are you capable of predicting ALL the side effects of such an extreme intervention?

Are you capable of reversing unwanted side effects like a global winter due to this intervation?

How can you know if you even can reverse it IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE UNWANTED SIDE EFFECTS WILL EVENT BE?

oifjsidjf··on Greece runs on 100% renewables for the first time on record
And what's gonna happen when the sun won't shine?

You think large powerplants that will need to be turned back on then can be turned on like a TV, with a press of a button?

Also: the energy comes from renewables, but the solar panels themselves are certainly not.

oifjsidjf··on Can a meat-free filet mignon convert carnivores?
>> [contains] soy protein concentrate, sunflower oil, beetroot powder and yeast extract.

With these kind of ingredients no health consious carnivore will ever want to touch this.

Meanwhile in the real world:

>> However, the plant-based meat industry is having a tough time. Shares of Beyond Meat (BYND) are down more than 75% this year, near an all-time low.

Basicaly these are ultraprocessed food companies shilling under the guise of "we are climate change savers!!!!111".

oifjsidjf··on Show HN: InvokeAI, an open source Stable Diffusion toolkit and WebUI
This.

"Responsible" is just PR talk for "We're gonna try and NOT release it for as long as possible so that we can milk money from you by blackboxing the models and having you pay for tokens".

oifjsidjf··on Agile Classrooms – Reinventing the way we learn – one classroom at a time
While I'm for replacing modern shitty educational system I cannot help but to think that many companies are abandoning agile and firing the coaches so one of the fired coaches now wants to bring this to the field of education.

So before you had only the teacher breathing down your neck, now it's also gonna be an agile coach saying to that you "are not learning this the correct way, you have to do it MY way!"

oifjsidjf··on General Purpose Robots Should Not Be Weaponized – Boston Dynamics
This has to be pure PR. Nobody is so stupid to belive that.

Robots will be the perfect war machines, everyone knows that, which is why they are putting out such stupid statements.
