    Lignin can be hard to break down by human stomachs. Not only that, but the lignin in food can actively inhibit the access nutritional benefits of other types of digestible fiber

    Your dentist would not be pleased; grass contains a lot of silica, an abrasive which quickly wears down teeth. Grazing animals have teeth that are adapted to continually grow, replacing the worn tooth surfaces quickly

  • The headline seems a little misleading, since there's no reason to think AI summaries themselves are going to be what gets presented to a court. Sounds like the actual concern is violating someone's rights by going through all of their phone data beyond the scope of a warrant:

    Allowing software to just go blundering around in the scraped contents of a seized phone is quite another, as ACLU lawyer Jennifer Granick stated to 404 Media:

    “The Fourth Amendment does not permit law enforcement to rummage through data, but only to review information for which there is probable cause. To use an example from the press release, if you have some porch robberies, but no reason to suspect that they are part of a criminal ring, you are not allowed to fish through the data on a hunch, in the hopes of finding something, or ‘just in case.’“

  • TIL the founder of Oculus VR Palmer Luckey has gone evil

    Jump

  • as a commemoration of the anime Sword Art Online, Luckey created a VR headset art piece that kills its human user in real life when the user dies digitally in the video game, by means of several explosive charges affixed above the screen

    Luckey blogged, "The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me—you instantly raise the stakes to the maximum level and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players inside it."[77] Luckey additionally described it as "just a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design". He also mentioned that while it is "the first non-fiction example of a VR device that can actually kill the user, it won’t be the last."[75]

    ... and his job is making autonomous weapon systems. I wonder what the future built by Jigsaw types like this is gonna look like

  • AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead

  • imo it's the opposite, AI is good at starting projects by giving you boilerplate code, but bad at considering the full context of an existing project. Better to be doing the larger structure stuff yourself and only giving the LLM self contained tasks.

  • Liquidity isn’t a mechanism for facilitating bribes, it’s just isnt.

    I explain how it could be, and all you got in response is ad hominem rhetoric. How about instead of implying you know more than me about markets and what knowledge of them implies, you actually refute the point without phrases like "it just isn't"?

  • When the coin is created it’s worth fractions of a cent. So the people who buy the coin aren’t paying a bribe; they are collaborating on the future rug pull.

    This is just semantics if the result is that the money gets to its destination. I'm assuming much of the trading for this happened on an AMM, which is like a two way vending machine. You put money in to get some memecoins, and that same money can be extracted by doing the reverse. The liquidity is normally controlled by the people who made the coin anyway. A perfectly functional method for paying a bribe.

    This is also all happening in public on a ledger than will forever been public. So it’s literally the stupidest place to do a bribe.

    I don't know if there are actually people paying bribes this way, or if they consider it the best method, but it would make sense because a thin veneer of deniability would be more than enough in this case, and its public verifiable nature could help them get credit for it. How would anyone be getting in legal trouble for bribery because they bought this thing and "lost" money on it, it's just not happening in the current political climate. Holding the worthless tokens in a wallet publicly associated with them would serve as a receipt they could point to, to demonstrate loyalty.

  • Care to explain how it works then, o wise memecoin expert?

  • [spoiler] What was so bad about the ending of Lost?

    Jump

  • This is all true but I think it was still a good show especially compared to what else was on non-cable TV at the time. There wasn't any show that actually prompted conversation about it in my family the way Lost did. That they built its appeal on reckless overprinting of plot threads they could never satisfyingly resolve was a dirty trick, but everyone fell for it, so to me they still get credit.

  • Straws become the focus because people like them and find them useful and make them a part of their culture and then proposed bans threaten to take them away. People do focus on them, I've seen plenty of online arguments about straw bans and the ethics of straws, which happens because they are a part of the lives of the people arguing about them, unlike fishing nets which they never use or see.

    There is a side of environmentalism that comes off as being smugly superior about your lifestyle and disparaging and seeking to shame and control in small ways (usually poorer) people who don't live that way, with the pretext that it's about saving the planet. To me that sort of thing seems like it's mainly just a dumpster fire of political capital, purely counterproductive.

  • I use a script I wrote that plays music from Bandcamp with probabilities based on liking/disliking songs and the albums Bandcamp recommends in association with the rated song. Wary about sharing it anywhere though as it's definitely against the tos.

  • Results indicate that the real-world freelance work in our benchmark remains challenging for frontier language mod- els. The best performing model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, earns $208,050 on the SWE-Lancer Diamond set and resolves 26.2% of IC SWE issues; however, the majority of its so- lutions are incorrect, and higher reliability is needed for trustworthy deployment

    That's still kind of crazy if it can actually do some meaningful portion of real world software jobs by itself.
