But it is hilarious when the person perpetrating it does not have a family or children

And, coincidentally, every time the story comes up there's a company ready to sell you the magic roman concrete.

I think walking does way more than burning calories though.

For one it gives you a lot more awareness of your physical condition, if you go everywhere by car you may barely notice your weight has doubled.

Secondly I find any physical activity, especially running or walking, helps to combat urges for stuff like snacking.

Christianity is fantasy role-playing and it's hurting America, the title is correct!

WTF

They are being noticed, but I'm not sure they do more good than harm:

Fossil fuel lobbies have long stopped trying to paint oil as good but rather environmentalism as bad, and activists as idiots.

If you look at old pro-oil propaganda, say 80s-90s it was all about how great life is thank to oil and how bright the future of the oil-based economy was going to be, downplaying climate change and pollution related issues.

Now they're just engaging in mud throwing because their position is untenable.

Going for the shock factor may just fuel their game.

In this particular case, some of the USMX members may be making money from the strike: Maersk, for example, has seen its shares jump and has raised its prices already.

The strike wil cause a drop in maritine freight capacity which, in turn, will earn some of the carrier more than if they were working normally.

So I'm not sure how it will go, the ILA workers have a massive bargaining chip and I believe they will get a good deal, eventually, but some USMX members might want to stall the negotiations as long as possible.

I have tried the version available at hugginchat and it's almost gpt4 level for programming tasks but not so much for general knowledge

Aside from nationalistic pride, there are several practical reasons:

1. Azof sea + Crimean peninsula are a natural chockepoint for Russia's exports from the river Don, basically all Russia's black sea inports and exports pass though there

2. Donbass is incredibly rich in mineral resources

3. Ukraine's ports are where the largest Soviet Union ships were built, Russia can't build larger frigades/aircraft carriers without Ukraine's facilities (mainly Mykolaiv port I believe).

4. The dominance over the black sea is extremely important for Russia, as it may affect both its nuclear deterrence and its control over Georgia which opens the gates to central asia (yes Turkey is in Nato but it plays its own game)

Also consider that Russia started the war hoping for a quick ukrainian capitulation, so they would have absorbed the hugely important ukrainian aerospace industry, and its massive farming industry.

They probably 'just' want the Donbass and the coast now, so the last point is no longer relevant, but it played a role in deciding to push forward with the invasion.

But it also makes sure you get paid something in case accidents, at least in theory.

It's ridiculously easy to do 300k plus of accidental damages misusing a gun, but most people don't have 300k to pay even if a court orders them to.

With how bad Trump is, it's understandable. But make sure to vote pro palestinian candidates if there are any in primaries or on the ballot.

Meanwhile some totally not complicit countries have cut funding to the unrwa for political gain.

I know the blockade and bombings impeding access to umanitarian trucks is a giant issue, but the impending collapse of the main provider of aid is the one thing we can colletively stop, donating to the unrwa directly.

Yes maybe 'notice' 100lbs gain is a strong word, but you don't fully realize it until you actually start wheezing doing something you used to consider normal. If your only exercise is walking from the car to your desk job and back you may just chalk it down to being a little out of shape.

The main issue is that processed foods are very high in calories and low in everything that is good for you and these foods are absolutely everywhere in the US.

Definitely, that is the main issue. I'm just saying the benefts (even just the weigh-control benefits) of walking are more than the calories spent.

Walking is a very low intensity exercise that will not burn a lot of calories, but is it's the only exercise you get it's a whole lot better than nothing.

They took the enshitment too literally

Yeah only have the 7b it seems on huggingchat, that's the one I was talking about.

Given how good the 7b I wouldn't be surprised if the 70b is better than gpt4 for programming-related chat.

As far as I can tell, that theory is quite fringe and does not have much support from peer reviewed tests.

The quarry is basically next to the pyramids, and the main issue with transportation was most likely space constraints: there's only so many people that can work at a given time on the pyramid itself, regardless of how much manpower the Pharoah could muster.

Carrying up millions of tons of powder sounds way less practical than carrying the solid stones to me, and making them off-site just to carry them up doesn't seem to make sense.

Walking 40ft instead of 300ft twice a day is not going to make a noticeable difference

No but walking 1 km from/to the station or going by bike certainly is. As is walking during holidays or whatnot.

Most people who gain weight do realize it by feeling it rather than by looking at the mirror, especially since it is a very slow process. If you feel the struggle walking 300 feet and you don't have other issues, you've probably gained a lot of weight already.

I have gpt4 with copilot at work so i mostly use that, it is pretty good for programming, you see its limitations when you start relying on it a lot on autocompletions, maybe because the code itself is not too coherent and gpt gets confused

Maybe chat tasks are simpler because it writes the whole thing from scratch, though I mostly ask it for limited functionalities, eg write a function that takes x and returns y or use a certain ORM to change a value.

I would suggest you try both gpt 3.5 and the free huggingface minstral 7b version (you can probably run it on pc too, it's not huge) for programming tasks and see for yourself. For general knowledge though, gpt wins hands down over minsral 7b

Pretty skeptical of this reactor, but 2033 is not that far, large energy projects take a long time from planning to execution, this is true for the renewables too.

Also I see an issue with the correlation vs causation: healthier people probably masturbate more often, on average
