Obesity is not hereditary.

It usually is.

It is calories in, calories out.

Passing through your individual system. Mine, for example, very badly processes sugars. One teaspoon of sugar in tea means I stink like cat piss in half an hour after drinking that tea.

You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.

There are “fat” models, and also it’s usually not your choice as I have previously said.

In case someone thinks I have a skin in the game - I’m as thin as a skeleton. But I have family members overweight and you really don’t know what you’re talking about, they are among the most healthy eating people I know and still their weight requires precision and discipline in their diet, both more than you likely ever achieved in life, sorry if rude.

People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.

Yeah, it’s better to be healthy and rich than sick and poor, as they say to such statements where I live.

This is similar to saying that you protect against malware by using an antivirus and not being careful in what you download and run. I hope you can see the analogy.

There’s no such thing as “not falling for emotions” for humans.

Luck is also a component in how long Trump lives ; though he’s not that old.

OK, I’ll say it differently - luck is also a component in how long Putin lives, and that’s likely less. When he dies, there’s gonna be change. In USA too. In Russia - maybe not for the better immediately, but that will be a power transfer, which hasn’t happened since 1999. Even if to someone of his daughters.

I don’t subscribe to any of stupid theories of “Kremlin towers’ balance”, “businessmen vs patriots” and such, but the point stands, and the previous power transfer, from Yeltsin to Putin, despite them being the same faction, changed a lot and fast.

Which could mean some of the blackmail material leaking, or the direction of blackmail changing, or other ties being restructured. Which would pull the rug from many of Russia-aligned parties in the west, and it would be interesting to see whether Democrats or Republicans are affected more, in case of US, and whether local alt-right parties or the orderly centrists in EU are affected more. The common belief is that it’s the latter in the US and the former in the EU, but I think we’ll be surprised.

Now, Russia is small compared to other parties, but big enough to make waves in case of such an event.

offtopic: Maybe that’s why a transparent and safe prison system, a bit like what Norway has, would do well for USA. Don’t tell me anything about feeding criminals in luxury, because you are spending far more taxpayer money on far more idiotic things. Also rehabilitation is really a big thing.

No it doesn’t have to, their article says if you enable it, the messages are resent someplace. Of course those that are have to be read by whatever summarizes them, so are not secured from Meta.

Honestly for systems operating on sequences of tokens, like those “AI”'s, I wonder if it’s possible to divide their functionality so that it would be a zero-knowledge system with the side providing computation not being able to decipher them.

In the dumbest sense, if some operation can be reduced to multiplication of two numbers, or modulo 2 addition, or whatever, and those two numbers encrypted and combined thus result in something predictably decrypted by someone having encrypted the original numbers, then you can offload the hard operation to a remote service and not worry about them learning what the numbers really were. There are probably articles and whitepapers describing how to do exactly this, fundamental science is usually beyond what’s been done practically.

It’s an opt-in feature. In settings, users will be required to enable Private Processing, which Meta describes as an “optional capability that enables users to initiate a request to a confidential and secure environment and use AI for processing messages where no one—including Meta and WhatsApp—can access them.”

You should have read your link before typing all this. Their E2EE is a bit similar to OMEMO and Signal in the sense that one device is really like one contact, and one chat between two people is really like a group chat with many members associated with two identities. So they are adding another optional endpoint where you send the message to get that summary.

Of course if you do send it, it’s readable by them no matter what they say.

Of course proprietary encryption (I’d argue that even proprietary code) can’t be trusted to do what declared.

But there is no logical contradiction whatsoever between their claim of having E2EE and this functionality.

That’s what the report button is for.

That’s how.

They are just trying to stuff you with equation of “rejecting unsubstantiated authority and propaganda” (which is a subset of nihilism similarly to rejection of other unsubstantiated things) to “sowing chaos and destruction of society”.

BTW, chaos is beneficial for any society. Chaos is how they evolve and find exits out of deadlocks. And rid themselves of degeneracy, which always flourishes on top, because those on top are subject to negative selection.

Honestly the whole article is absolutely disgusting police boot licking piece of crap, of the “nothing to hide” and “the law is sacred even if made illegally” and “don’t question demands” kind.

Except, of course, it’s wrapped into the boy being “anti-LGBTQZPN” and “accelerationist-extremist”, which is pretty normal, Israeli and Turkish propaganda too uses these in the way of “look, we allow gay parades and have something appearing like western democracy, so we are good, and our victims are not like that”.

OK, so the description probably is just about a kid with some disorders who got burnt out from the idiots surrounding him. Every time you hear “he was normal and had meaning in life and we understood him and then he got depressed and closed”, it’s probably just that - ran out of spoons to play along to mouthbreather family thinking they understand everything.

The things surrounding it - I think they are good. Between loyalty to entrenched non-transparent authority and rebellion with neo-Nazi symbols I’d choose the latter 10 times of 10.

Also when “accelerationist” means that the institutions have already decayed and it’s better to break them before they’ve born more monsters - I agree with that. I thought the same when I was 15 and realized that democracies around us are not real in the sense that they were even in 1950s.

But, of course, if we assume the article is deliberate propaganda, one can suggest that this is the intended second layer - to make you more sympathetic to such ideology.

People in the US kinda give a shit, but are more confused, it seems.

Europeans - honestly seem like irritated from the very thought that a Gazan life is worth any inconvenience for them. They think they are some high elves better than the rest.

You are not getting it, this is a test ground for you. Unlike with IBM.

Though this “unlike” is actually interesting, considering how popular fascism was in the USA before WWII, maybe they were intending to do the same at home, just cards lay differently.

Imagine thinking these are part of the same process.

These are different processes, they are using Gaza’s population as Guinea pigs or lab mice for the medicine that’s coming to you. While the murders are just for fun (and maybe to make the experiment more solid, see, we are killing them and still it works).

Your own opinions are a result of much bigger amount of much more relevant data in any case.

An AI model is a set of coefficients averaging a dataset by “one size fits all” measure. Those coefficients are found by an expensive process using criteria (again “one size fits all”) set by a company making it. From them its machine generates (looks up actually) the most probable text, it’s like a music box. A beautiful toy.

So you have different motivations and abstract ideas in different situations, you also have something like a shared codebook with other people making decisions - your instincts and associations. Reading what they say or seeing what they do, you get a mirror model in you head, it might be worse, but it’s something very hard for text analysis to approach.

That model doesn’t, it has the same average line for all situations, and also it can’t determine (on the level described) that it doesn’t know something. To determine that you don’t know something you need an abstract model, not a language model.

I dunno what is their current state, all I’ve read and kinda understood was seemingly about optimization of computation for language models and structuring their application to imitate a syllogism system.

I think with the current approaches making a system of translating language to a certain abstract model (tokenization isn’t even close to that, you need to have some topology with areas that can be easily merged or split instead of token points with distances, in any case) and abstract entities to language would be very computationally expensive.

You can’t trust yourself to be impartial. That’s why scientific method and various approaches (even like dialectics god forbid) were invented to leading a discussion.

It doesn’t work like that. Which is why con artists and propaganda function often by “offering advice”.

I’ve dreamed of such a cult at some point, like Chinese fortune cookies, but those are less exploitable.

Obesity is a result of many things. It’s mostly hereditary whatever you are born with, so the comment you are answering is right.

Just like other cases of “unhealthy”. Just like with them, though, it’s possible to find one’s optimum in food and sports and sleep to feel better, and a person who feels better is usually more attractive.

But looking like models you can find in the interwebs is just not possible if you are not already like them.

I’ve met people far more beautiful than most you can see in mainstream media, let alone adult materials.

(And in case one bitch with ASPD is stalking me, no, I don’t mean her ; that is, this is true for her too.)

OK, sorry.

I disagree. It just won’t be fancy. It has to be an enormous project with existential risks. And you have to really send many people at once with no return ticket. “At once” is important, you can’t ramp it up, that’s far more expensive. It has to be a mission very deeply planned in detail with plenty of failsafe paths, aimed at building a colony that can be maintained with Earth’s teaching resources, technologies and expertise, and locally produced and processed materials for everything. So - something like that won’t happen anytime soon, but at some point it will happen.

The technologies necessary have to be perfected first, computing should stop being the main tool for hype, and the societies should adapt culturally for computing and worldwide connectivity.

These take centuries. In those centuries we’ll be busy with plenty of things existential, like avoiding the planet turning into one big 70s Cambodia.
