jadehawk "FREE ŁINK"

both. i have never made up my mind about anything and i'm not going to start now [/bisexual & gender-unstable]

i mentioned this before, but it's funny that whey is very often considered an ingredient that renders foods "ultraprocessed"; it's a byproduct of cheesemaking, and so people have used it in cooking for as long as people have been making cheese. you may note author excluded it from the list here tho

right, but you see the whole thing with "ultraprocessed" foods is that it will make a difference between regular pasteurized cream and regular pasteurized cream but with carrageenan in it. same nutrient and caloric vague, but somehow the algae will make it "ultraprocessed".

it's a hinky category

he came up with the idea of ingredients that are only used in highly industrial, mass-produced foodstuffs that would never be used in homecooking and that's the origin of "ultraprocessed" foods

no, it was specifically not even about fat/salt/sugar, the guy who came up with the concept thought there was something about certain food-types BEYOND just nutrient content that was fucking people's health up.

i mean, it's definitely a change your health care system number, but TBF 0 would be that, your healthcare system sucks just on principle :p

that would be a hilarious exercise in figuring out what things are named in different countries, but i don't think it'd tell you much about healthfulness or whatever

literally just "if my idea of an italian* grandma doesn't have it in her kitchen and doesn't put it in her homecooked food, it's a fake ingredient that makes foods ultraprocessed"

*well, brasilian i think. dude was researching brasilian foods IIRC

i mean, painstakingly define allowable ingredients is where the "ultraprocessed foods" thing started. when i fell down this rabbit hole a while back, it all ended up tracing back to this one food researcher who came up with a category of foods that had "ingredients of no culinary value" in them.

the dragon when being asked why they have hundreds of kobolds in their cave: "those are my emotional support kobolds"

i mean, i just went to whatever was nearby and affordable so that mooted itself, but having to figure out a completely alien system all by myself was hard work.

dude, i wish. having a wholeass adult with several decades more life experience come up with the questions to ask a prospective university is great (as long as these adults then respect whatever choices the teen makes with the answers).

PEER PRESSURE WORKS

my night-adjusted eyeballs thank you

as far as i can tell, the only thing you can do with an LLM is study the LLM-human interface. but teams of humans are still going to have to do the actual designing and asking and analyzing of questions and the interpretation of the results.

in quantitative surveys, you mostly ask a fuckload of people questions from surveys that have already been tested for how close they actually get you to the thing you're actually studying, so mass e-mail would do the trick better than something that alters the wording of the questions.

a ML that doesn't alter questions or answers might do that, but not an LLM. you maybe want algorithms for categorizing lengthy qualitative answers, but OTOH the way you test the validity of categories is to have various humans sort independently and come to similar decisions about categorization.

and you're still not supposed to run it thru a lying theftbot, that's how you get bullshit not science; can't do science unless it's in fact artisanal because what questions are you even asking, how, and how the bloody fuck is an LLM supposed to go out there and collect data anyway

when someone says "social sciences" i think of sociology, archaeology or the non-ridiculous parts of economics; which are the same level of "self-actualization thru learning cool new ways the world works" as ecology or astronomy.

oh! i keep forgetting europe has a different way of slicing up academic categories, so it didn't register until this post that you might be referring to what i'd think of as "the humanities"; in which case you might be right.

i think at least since "how to train your dragon" we all know there's a very big overlap in the "cat" and "dragon" circles

John Waters standing in front of the John Waters Restrooms (all-gender) at whatever that art museum is in baltimore

mandating equality in public accommodations is so woke 1.0. woke 2.0 means mandating that every building accessible to the public have a John Waters Restroom (all gender)

oh no, now i'm imagining fingerprints on all my organs *uncomfortable squirm*

Every single video she makes about lead on this popular brand of “premium” glass baby bottle gets swarmed with paid bots (from the company) commenting “it’s not a big deal”…

dead internet theory but for lead poisoning is not something I had on my 2026 bingo card

in which case i'm a crocus: happily poking out of the snow but then dramatically wilting the moment it gets actually warm XD

ahahah ha hahaha aaaaaaaaaaaaah

sun people are such a fascinating yet alien creatures [/hides from heat and sunlight whenever possible]

it can simply never be a boon to humanity to let millions of people die when they could have been saved

ok but can i have a small personalized robot that can tell vegetables from weeds

yeah not gonna lie, xtian nationalists getting stung by RFRA is funny

Jay: Guys, please don't let "skeets" stick The experiment in decentralized naming decisions has resulted in the worst possible term How about skoots? Can we bring back skoots? Bluesky OGs, help me out here, remember skoots? 10:45 PM · Apr 27, 2023
