Well GitHub is Microsoft who bet everything on AI and trying to force-feed it into anything. So I wouldn't hold my breath. Maybe an agent that detects AI.


I have seen that pattern before, and for me it's a bit of an antipattern. Usually you wouldn't look for substantial code there, and in most cases it is nicer to organize your code in modules. You can import from those in the __init.py__ file, this way achieving the same effect as having all code live in __init.py__. But it's a matter of preference.


US bulk agriculture exports are what keep vast swathes of the developing world from sustaining themselves. Wheat, corn and other heavily subsidized crops are how countries are incentivized producing cash crops like coffee, tea and Kat instead of food.

I don't really understand why the rest of the world doesn't whine, when the US is the country actually keeping millions of the global population poor.



The moment I personally really started to dislike him, was when he gleefully destroyed the dreams and hopes of people by pumping and dumping his favorite shitcoin. I don't want to know how many people in dire conditions lost their life savings while he was mocking them.


"can have some overlap."

I would argue in an economic system that rewards the most ruthless competitor "can" is a very nice word here.


Out of curiosity: what do you think your country stands for?


I had a organic chemistry professor when I studied biology at university, who said he was convinced that microwaves split amino acid chains in proteins, thus leading to free radicals which could be cancerogenic.


Free radicals last for microseconds in any material. The moment you removed microwave power the free radicals would immediately react with other materials and stabilise (plenty of those in food since the whole point of it is it's high energy).

Which is to say, that's a very specific claim for a professor to make without publishing any papers about it.


Ever heard of Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib?


Sure. I don't think that detracts from my point at all.

I'm not saying the US hasn't done horrible things, I'm saying they are orders of magnitude less horrible than other big powers.


I really prefer such factories over the way a lot of tofu is produced (by burning plastic): https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/world/asia/indonesia-tofu...


I can't believe in let's say 200 years from now humans will still consume animals - if our species survives that is. I'm sure this will be looked upon as very barbaric to breed real animals and eat them.


If we survive 200 years from now we will either not really know what happened during this time because most people will be illiterate or we will be growing food by using the vast amounts of almost free energy we have figured out how to produce. I don't really see any other situations happening.


Is it barbaric when coyotes kill and eat a deer (often while still alive)? or when a lion eats an antelope?


No, because the argument only applies to animals with moral faculties, and the luxury of choosing what to eat.
