sourcegrift··on CRISPR tech selectively shreds cancer cells, including "undruggable" cancers
Reddit is a huge danger to society. There's no doubt that subs about specific non political (and non popular) topics are hugely beneficial, the overall damage the echo chambers do still outweigh these benefits.

sourcegrift··on CRISPR tech selectively shreds cancer cells, including "undruggable" cancers
Over on reddit people were debating whether cancer should be cured since it disproportionately affects rich people and it made me realise how far reddit has fallen. It's just a botnet now to manipulate elections.

He has stopped Mtf trans females from competing in female sports thus pretty much segregating 10s of millions of Americans and people of color.

sourcegrift··on Show HN: Nutrepedia – Nutrition info in 29 locales built with Clojure and Htmx
I want to suggest one thing: take a reference weekly diet, (or multiple such diets). One example would be

500g chicken, 500g cauliflower, 20g cumin seeds, 2kg rice, 300g groundnuts, 1l milk, 20g cocoa, 50g ginger, 400g tomato.

Accumulate all the component nutrients. And average this over a day.

Now when I search for lotus seeds, I want to see how much nutrition they have relative to this diet. You could argue that RDA essentially serves a similar purpose and that might not be too far off but what I'm interested in knowing is how much diversity a food item is adding for me.

sourcegrift··on Motorola phones have started hijacking the Amazon app to insert affiliate codes
If an anti-worker company is getting fleeced, nothing wrong with that.

I hope motorola collaborates with Pine and brings linux to phones. In the age of LLM apps are obviously not a problem. (Hopefully windows Phone 7, not 8 also comes back)
