It’s not just Bikinis. It’s all swim wear, saunas in Europe, baths in Japan. It’s just socially acceptable and expected in the right context, and that expectation plays a huge role in comfort. The context seems to flip a switch in people’s brain.
People want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.
Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.
An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?
Believe it or not, authoritarian regimes are less stable than democracies.
The good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.
The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.
My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You’ll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.
Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It’s very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it’s a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.
You’ll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.
I have a different take.
AI today is basically a mechanical school. AI students are trained to give a specific answer. This is at the heart of how all machine learning works, including generative AI. Even image generators do this.
“Here’s a million examples of what the pixelated representation of a hand looks like; now go and make a derivative copy.”
This is fine for objective facts, like physics and history. It is useless for art.
Merely drawing a hand is not art, it’s an objective truth (do typical humans have 5 or 6 fingers?). But art school is not about objective truths. Art school teaches creativity. Specifically challenging ideas and expression.
AIs can’t fundamentally challenge ideas and express themselves because they lack personal experience, personality and individuality.
Society at large has been fooled into thinking that speech (LLM) and other generative AI lead to AGI. But the reality is that these models have more in common with encyclopedias and stock image libraries than intelligence.
Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.
I might look into this myself…
Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG/SVGO? If not, that’s a glaring omission.
I know you are being facetious, but for the sake of argument, at some point, the tariffs are so big, no trade is happening, so it doesn’t matter how “big” the tariff numbers are at that point, it’s all the same.
Right. The only difference between a tariff and a VAT, is that the VAT applies to all products indiscriminately, where as a tariff only applies to imported goods.
Cool. Now do the USA next.
He’s just a snake oil salesman looking to cause a problem to sell the solution. Just the usual conman shit, but at a national level.
Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.
Is it built by Tesla, Meta, Boeing, or some other American corp?
Nope, nope, nope.
Unhappily married couple, so focused on avoiding misery for a few months of divorce proceedings, decide instead to live miserable every day for the next 30 years.
A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.
I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.
Any recommended firewall block lists (or allow lists) for Roku?
You both aren’t wrong… But this isn’t about you.
Assuming a constant rate of change of anything involving people over a period of ten years is straight up nonsense.
