Why wouldn't google do well? They have one of the best data sources, which is a pretty big factor.

Also they have plenty of money, and talented engineers, and tensor chips, etc.


I mean protein does fill you up faster and better with fewer calories which is good for weight loss or management.

> protein does fill you up faster

You are being pretty fast and loose with your language here so I will alight what I think you are trying to say.

"Fill you up" I must assume means that you are implying the state of feeling "full" or satiated.

There is really only one study in the field of broad food source satiety: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7498104/

Potatoes are the most satiating food at 323% that of white bread.

The second is Ling fish which is a source of protein, but another one of my assumptions is that when you say 'protein' I am doubtful you mean 'ling fish'. So assuming you mean a 2026 American definition of 'protein' you're probably referring to cow flesh (beef) which is only 176% of white bread, almost half of potatoes.

So, in the future I would suggest spreading the word and correcting your comment by saying "I mean potatoes do fill you up faster"


> I mean protein does fill you up faster and better with fewer calories which is good for weight loss or management.

Thank you for exemplifying the problem so clearly - conflating protein with fat when we're really talking about a simple carbohydrates issue of high energy density with negative satiety.

Excess protein is excreted renally, it's easy to overdo and can cause serious problems.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_leverage_hypothesis

Protein is actually pretty hard to overdo naturally. If you've ever tried to follow the high protein guidelines and you're a taller or broader shouldered person you'll find that getting that amount of protein requires supplementation or a lot of focus on lean meats. I'm not saying everyone needs to go "high" protein, I'm just saying that worrying about the amount of protein you're eating is probably not worth doing. You'll feel pretty full if you eat a lot of protein.

Keto is not just "high fat" though. Keto is about producing ketones, and going too high fat can actually be counterproductive there, at least for weight loss. (You want to be liberating fat from your storage, not getting it from external sources)


A hypothesis with zero supporting data and primarily argued in a couple pop culture books is not something you should give any weight.

Scientists do not write books when they have actual, meaningful findings.

You've made this claim all over this comment section, so it's pretty frustrating to find it comes from a pretty awful source.

I promise you, it is trivial to overeat protein. Americans love their 16oz steaks, and yet one pound of steak in a single meal is almost certainly "Too much" for a non-athelete diet.

Meanwhile, simply look to every eating competition which uses a meat. There does not seem to be any natural limitation to overconsuming meat.


Not than fat. Fat fills you up fastest, per calorie.

Hmm, how do you figure? Just about every source I can find shows slow burning carbs, fiber, and protein rich foods blow fatty foods out of water in terms of satiety. (if you are using a metric other than satiety to represent "fills you up", feel free to correct me)

There's no benefit to more than 16-bits. 16-bit allows for a dynamic range of 96dB. No music is mastered anywhere near this dynamic range.

24-bit helps in production pipelines for mixing, but for end user playback it's pointless.


Maybe pointless, but if provided why not?

By the same logic, if pointless, why?

As quoted from the OP.

> 24-bit helps in production pipelines for mixing, but for end user playback it's pointless.

If you have two versions of something, where one is better than the other and the resource cost is more or less the same it makes more sense to provide the better than the worse.

Maybe the end-user takes interest in mixing/production for which they then have the higher version allowing them to work with without the faff of having to obtain the better quality works. The end-user won't know the difference and the new apprentice has a copy that they can work with.

That's not a loss, that's a benefit even if pointless to the end user.


> Maybe the end-user takes interest in mixing/production for which they then have the higher version allowing them to work with without the faff of having to obtain the better quality works.

16-bit is enough for mixing. 24-bit (or 32-bit floats, even better) are useful _within_ the mixing pipeline, so you don't need to care if one of the steps results in clipping as long as the final result is within the bounds.


Because it's a complete waste of bandwidth.

You know you can get Spotify for way cheaper by buying card codes and activating your service from that? Just buy a new card before your subscription expires and it adds the time onto your plan when you put in the card activation code.

Even from official retail channels like Best Buy and Amazon a 1 year Spotify activation code in the US is $99, so 8.25/mo. But you can get cards from gray markets like G2A and it's only like $26 a year.


Hmm, mine is currently 673MB on iOS 26.

Windows Recall?

Building a PC price is not double lol and RAM is nowhere near up 6-8x

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/crucial-pro-overclocking-32g...

That 32GB for $274 was not $34-$45 in the summer. RAM is up like 3x, but RAM is one of the cheaper parts of the PC.

RAM that was $100 in summer is like $300 now when I look. So that's an extra $200 maybe $300, on say a $1500 build.

GPUs are not up, they are still at MSRP:

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-prime-nvidia-geforce-rt...

SSDs are up marginally, maybe $50 more lets say for a 2TB.

So from summer you are looking at like a $250-350 increase on say a $1500 PC


Where I live, a pair of Kingston FURY Beast Black RGB DDR5 6000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) has literally gone up from what is equivalent to $125 this summer, to currently selling for what is equivalent to $850.

Obviously this depends on where you live.


I think looking at the same exact product from the same retailer is not really the full story. Personally I would accept looking at the same exact spec ram across retailers in your region. Maybe its still a lot more for you, but in the US it's not as bad as I see people say.

Realistically people normally buy whatever ram is the cheapest for the specs they want at the time of purchase, so that's the realistic cost increase IMO.


Here is some proper data:

https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/

The same site also has price trends for CPUs, video cards, etc.


It's OK data, but the average can be skewed high by some vastly inflated options that nobody cares about.

Most people will pick a ram spec and buy whatever is the cheapest kit for that spec at the time.

I think the best data view would be what is the cheapest available kit for each spec over time rather than the average price of each kit.


Wouldn't historical data also be inflated by the gold plated Monster branded RAM sticks too though? Making the now to then comparison, well, comparable.

Not sure I agree with this.

Something that skewed the market in the past, which is unrelated the the reasons the market is skewed now doesn't make a compelling comparison.

The reasons would lead to differing levels of market skew.


Corsair Vengeance 128 GB (2 x 64 GB) DDR5-6400. $339 in Sept 2025. $1599 in Jan 3026. 4.7x increase. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LPvscf/corsair-vengeance-12...

I cancelled my plans to upgrade my workstation, as the price of 256 GB of RAM became ridiculous.


The MRSP for those GPUs is already inflated. There's a reason Nvidia is going to start making more RTX 3060 GPUs. Because people (and system builders) can't afford 40XX and 50XX GPUs.

I paid $150 for a 64GB DDR5 in Jan 2025. That is today $830 representing 5.5x.

What are the specs of the kit?

How is the world improved by sharp pieces of metal with a very sharp edge and a pointy end that can stab and kill people?

Should Adobe be held accountable if someone creates CSAM using their software? They could put image recognition into it that would block it, but they don't.

Look what happens when you put in an image of money into Photoshop. They detect it and block it.


I don't know. Does it matter what I think about that? Let's say I answer "yes, they should". Then what? Or what if I say "no, I see a difference". Then what?

Who cares about Adobe? I'm talking about Grok. I can consistently say "I believe platforms should moderate content in accordance with Section 230" while also saying "And I think that the moderation of content with regards to CSAM, for major platforms with XYZ capabilities should be stricter".

The answer to "what about Adobe?" is then either that it falls into one of those two categories, in which case you have your answer, or it doesn't, in which case it isn't relevant to what I've said.


Logical fallacy.

but to answer your point, no for two reasons:

1) you need to bring your own source material to create it. You can't press a button that says "make child porn"

2) its not a reasonable to expect that someone would be able to make CSAM in photoshop. However more importantly the user is the one hosting the software, not adobe.


>You can't press a button that says "make child porn"

Where is this button in Grok? You have to as the user explicitly write out a very obviously bad request. Nobody is going to accidentally get CSAM content without making a conscious choice about a prompt that's pretty clearly targeting it.


is it reasonable (legal term, ie anyone can do it) that someone with little effort could create CSAM using photoshop?

No, you need to train, take a lot of time and effort to do it. with grok you say "hey make a sexy version of [picture of this minor]" and it'll do it. that doesn't take traning, and its not a high bar to stopping people doing it.

The non-CSAM example is this, it's illegal, in the USA to make anything that looks like a US dollar bill. ie photocopiers have blocks on them to stop you making copies of it.

You can get round that as a private citizen but its still illegal. A company knowingly making a photocopier that allows you to photocopy dollar bills is in for a bad time.



Unofficial third-party builds from unknown github accounts; I think that you are really brave if you installed it.

And the first party ones available there are for testing, with missing features :/

We do not have this kind of problems with VLC.


Did you miss the github builds or just discounting them?

What happened to downloading an installer from the official website? Are we sending grandma to GitHub now?

Things are complicated. As a policy, I wouldn’t want to encourage grandma to be going to any web site to download software. Grandma should probably stick to the App Store. And personally, I would way rather install github builds than downloads from ‘official’/independently maintained web sites. Especially in the case of free / open source projects, sometimes cash constrained. Security is hard.

I’m not super knowledgeable about modern video players- I do like Infuse, which is in the App Store.
