rowrowrowyourboat , to World News in Penile cancer: 6,500 amputations in Brazil in a decade

Yeah, but you still have a 99.999....% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

It's still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

Not too long ago, everyone was saying that art was the most difficult thing for an AI to do. That's why everyone had this utopian view of machines doing all the work while humans just spent their days making art.

Art was supposed to be the insanely difficult something that only humans could do.

rowrowrowyourboat , to BecomeMe in American Heart Association Was Paid Off By Procter & Gamble To Say Heart Disease Was Caused By Saturated Fat, Not Seed Oils

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/the-money-behind-the-fight-over-healthy-eating-214517

Leave this here if you wanna learn more about the woman behind this story. She's not completely unbiased herself and is funded by a Houston billionaire. Her name is Nina Teicholz.

She still might be correct. And the association between saturated fats and heart disease does seem to be moderated by other factors. For example, cheese, butter, and yogurt seem to have more benefits than harm, even with their high saturated fat content. But again, this is based on limited studies.

Also, fiber seems to be a moderator as well. So a high psyllium diet will moderate the effects of saturated fat.

And this is from the WHO, 2022.

Our findings strongly reinforce the guidance that, when replacement energy is required, it should be provided by PUFA, plant sources of MUFA and slowly digested carbohydrates. Thus, dietary fats should come largely from seeds, nuts or liquid vegetable oil (olive, canola) rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats or land animal fats and coconut oil.

Overall though, there are no questions as to whether unsaturated fats are bad for you (they're not). And the environmental impact of eating saturated animal fats can't be denied. It would be better for the world if we reduced meat consumption and the use of animal products.

rowrowrowyourboat , to politics in RFK Jr.’s bump in polling fails to materialize after VP pick

She "made it" by marrying a billionaire co-founder of Google. Then cheated on him with Elon Musk. Her husband then divorced her because of it and...

Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan's attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin's $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.

Yeah, she really represents the American Dream.

But she didn't say, "I hope she beats the fuck out of him". You're changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, "I hope he killed her."

That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women to a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it's hyperbole.

Your point is still taken, and it'd be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.

rowrowrowyourboat , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring — and mostly secret

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

And it’s not just energy. Generative AI systems need enormous amounts of fresh water to cool their processors and generate electricity. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a giant data-centre cluster serves OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-4. A lawsuit by local residents revealed that in July 2022, the month before OpenAI finished training the model, the cluster used about 6% of the district’s water. As Google and Microsoft prepared their Bard and Bing large language models, both had major spikes in water use — increases of 20% and 34%, respectively, in one year, according to the companies’ environmental reports. One preprint suggests that, globally, the demand for water for AI could be half that of the United Kingdom by 2027.

rowrowrowyourboat , to sh.itjust.works Main Community in Update on SJW upgrade to v19.3

Question. Why would you go with 1tb ssds instead of larger hdds? Isn't the space and price more important than the speed for this use?

You could get double the space (2tb hdd) for the same price as a 1 tb ssd.

Just wondering.

Myth 8 – Captain Cook was eaten by cannibals

The Hawaiian Islanders who killed Captain Cook (on Valentines’ day in 1779) were not cannibals. They believed the power of a great man lived in his bones, so they cooked parts of Cook’s body to easily remove them.

https://www.sea.museum/2019/12/12/mythbusting-cook-fact-fiction-and-total-fallacy#:~:text=Myth%208%20%E2%80%93%20Captain%20Cook%20was,in%201779)%20were%20not%20cannibals.

The esteem which the islanders nevertheless held for Cook caused them to retain his body. Following their practice of the time, they prepared his body with funerary rituals usually reserved for the chiefs and highest elders of the society. The body was disembowelled and baked to facilitate removal of the flesh, and the bones were carefully cleaned for preservation as religious icons in a fashion somewhat reminiscent of the treatment of European saints in the Middle Ages. Some of Cook's remains, thus preserved, were eventually returned to his crew for a formal burial at sea.

rowrowrowyourboat , to science in Microplastics Found In 88 Percent Of Sampled Food, From Sirloin Steaks To Plant-Based Burgers

Nearly half (44 percent) of the identified microplastics were fibers, while a third (30 percent) were plastic fragments. This is in tune with other studies that have shown plastic fibers from clothes and other textile products are the most prevalent form of microplastic in the environment.

More important than single-use plastics seems to be synthetic clothing.
