Seems like you just have an axe to grind about fat people. Protein is not the deciding factor in weight gain, calories are, so I don’t know why you think a link to the wiki page about obesity would be convincing that protein powder is snake oil.

Even when you coincide that it is relevant you dismiss with little justification. Also BMI is not a great metric for individuals, many that have a lot of muscle are measured as overweight because there is a lot more to bodies that height and mass.

Can you justify why protein powder is snake oil in line with the other things in the thread? I will grant that most people have more than enough protein in a regular diet, but stats about obesity says literally nothing about if powder can help your workouts give the results you’re hoping for.

Yeah FreeTube and NewPipe both work for me still. Might be a problem in the future, but I’m hoping I dodge by being in the weird nerd slice that isn’t worth trying to force ads to.

Very interesting, and thank you for the write up! Might be worth looking and preconfigured reseeds if I was to dabble in it, but generally I just don’t have use for powerful anonymity tools currently. Always rad to hear about the tech though!

So how does I2P work, I vaguely remember something about it like slowly building a network as you keep your own connection on, and that the architecture makes it much better for torrenting. Is it worth looking into and learning about or is it just slow bad internet?

Does Windows not have a compose key?

How does it effect your internet speed, and does inhibit number of connections at all?

I don’t know too much about self hosting, so it might be worth asking on a self-hosting community to see the specific issues. But from my ignorance I think there are some hindrances with smaller servers and the speed of their comments propagating through the fediverse.

Beyond that I think there is something that would jump out as a bit strange to folks if every comment or post was from @username@theirLiteralHomeIP, and If they are running on a phone their IP would be really volatile which might run into issues as well.

So I don’t think there is anything fundamentally wrong individualized instances, but there are like practical issues with it. Further, it is certainly not foolproof, but different cultures of different servers has worked well in the fediverse to allow blocking posts from spaces that you don’t wish to experience. If each user had a separate instance it would be much harder to do in practice.

Again, I’m a dumb dumb, so I would hope that someone with more knowledge can clarify, I’m just speculating on what I could see being issues 😅

Yeah that makes sense. I’m mostly just poking around to see how it reacts, no real expectations of it working well. Really considering the walled gardens of each of the technologies this replaces, any amount of connection is really icing on the cake!

I haven’t tried it myself, but I remember someone mentioning things like peertube videos being sharable on mastodon, then replying to the peertube post in mastodon could add a reply to the peertube page and vise versa. Obviously the reply structure of lemmy is quite different, but it is cool to imagine the ways interoperability could evolve with more attention.

Yeah, not sure how easy it would be to change, but if it just didn’t boost user replies, it would actually be pretty solid on mastodon.

Outer wilds spoilers!

Gradient decent does strike me as the sort of problem that would work amazingly on a quantum computer. I think the issue is byte limitations. This paper is certainly over my head, but aren’t we struggling to get a 265 bit number calculated through a quantum computer, and wouldn’t a 48 gigabyte language model be basically impossible with current methods?
