Now I'm curious. Why can't the same land be used to grow a soy bean for human consumption vs animal consumption? I would naively assume that at worst some land might yield top quality crops but that it would at least be usable as

Do you want your kids to have colon cancer or heart disease because there is pretty strong evidence to suggest red meat contributes to these. And there's much stronger evidence for that than there is that suggests that vegetarian kids

Someone else linked these in the replies, but that's simply not true. Most land taken up to grow plants is used to inefficiently feed livestock. Feeding humans plants only would be much much more efficient in terms of land use. https:

Presumably you only would acquire female chickens to lay eggs. What happened to the male ones? (I don't recommend googling this). What do you do with the cow when its milk yield drops after several pregnancies? what do you do with the

Personally that would be even worse for me, though I understand maybe "better" on a societal scale by some metrics. To feed a being every day and care for it, to gain its trust, to appreciate their individuality, then to have them

I went vegan six months ago after being exposed to numbers like this and thinking about it a bit. In particular, imagining extending the empathy I felt for my pets to all these other unseen animals that really aren't much different. I

I love homm2 and have been playing fheroes2 for a bit now. homm2 is truly a masterpiece. To me it's the peak of the heroes series. The art and music are both great and still hold up to this day. The game play is basically perfect for w

I agree I'm bullish on AI for coding generally, but I am curious how they'd get around this problem. Even if they can code at super human level, then you just get rarer super human bugs. Or is another AI going to debug it? Unless

"a few thousand days away" feels like such a duplicitous way to phrase something when "a few years" would be more natural to everyone on the planet. It just seems intentionally manipulative and not even trying to hide it

I know this probably isn't the best place for a bug report/help request, but this seems cool, and the alternative to asking here, now, realistically is that I just forget about this I'm trying howm on emacs 29.4 I try (with m

Is Nvidia even able to capture a proportionately significant amount of revenue from increases in demand for GPU cycles? As the article describes, there are real bottlenecks, but how does this play out? My assumption is that Nvidia doesn&#x2

Yeah, I've been using python for the first time in a while to try out some of the llm stuff and I can't believe how bad the dependency hell is. It's probably particularly bad due to the pace of change in this field. But I spe

This could be a dumb question, and I assume the answer is no, but could the SIM serial data potentially be used to aid in a SIM spoof attack?

I'd be thrilled to pay for such a service if I found it even remotely sticky, and I genuinely wanted it to be. I just found it mediocre. If some of their features' benefits compound over time it seems like it would be better to ha

I keep seeing comments like this when Kagi is brought up. One of them motivated me to try kagi about a month ago. I would love to replace google and try out every alternative search engine I encounter. I admit it will be hard to replace. I&

We haven't specified which exact blockchain we're talking about but in basically all cases you're wrong. Users just send their transactions to a p2p network. It's miners that pick those up and put transactions into a blo

Who said anything about not having a centralized exchange? Centralized on ramps are not necessarily antithetical to a decentralized system.

The only info miners/validators have is public info anyway. Their job is just to constantly decide which public ledger is the "real" one.

Do you not believe they don't turn off their engine, or think they should be entitled to keep it running?
