I think it's reported that way because traders and other people adjacent to the financial sector are trying to figure out when the Fed is likely to lower rates. I don't really see inflation numbers reported outside financial articles.
For the things you mentioned, the vegan and gluten-free options are processed much more. Beef, for example, is arguably a "whole food."
Gluten-free isn't healthier unless you have specific conditions. Most people can handle gluten fine, and some vegan foods are primarily gluten (such as seitan).
Vegan isn't inherently healthy, especially if your eating mostly processed foods. A primarily whole-food vegan diet is likely healthier and cheaper than most people's diets though.
They're good for media centers, since the support 4k HDR. Can also use Moonlight to stream games from a PC. GPIO is useful, but I guess the PI is overpowered for most GPIO use cases at this point.
Hmm, so looks like around 100kB/s. That's about what I remember (100kB/s - 300kB/s).
I've recently been trying out Tribler, and it's much faster than the last time I tried it (I've seen 2MB/s on popular torrents, but around 500kB/s on less popular). Not sure if there are simply more exit nodes with more bandwidth now or if there are more people on the Tribler network seeding.
I've been trying out Logseq the past couple days, which I guess is an alternative to Obsidian (never tried that). Can't say I really understand the point or appropriate workflow of notes in a "graph" structure rather than a tree structure though (or the purpose of a journal). I like Joplin, but I've been having trouble with syncing on Android.
If it's a modern US Samsung model originally provided by a carrier, you can't. A long time ago, people used to find/use security exploits for Samsung phones, but I think they just don't care much anymore since you can buy international versions or other bootloader unlockable phones.
Meh, some of my favorite shows and movies have a lot sex scenes. Sometimes, they just add realism or contribute to aesthetics. Other times they show personality, relationship dynamics, are symbolic of other things, or are important to the plot.
I don't see sex scenes as any different than other potentially "unnecessary" scenes, like a long shot of a dripping faucet, for instance.
But, yeah, most sex scenes in games make me cringe.
The power used by AC is responsible for ~3% of global emissions. I can't find data about the impact of refrigerants ATM, but I assume it's significant because of their extremely high "global-warming-potential." I'm guessing a significant amount of emissions come from the manufacture of refrigerants, and a significant amount of refrigerants leak out of systems when they fail (or are improperly disposed of).
Sea levels rising is only one of the concerns. I think the biggest concern is the reduction of ariable land due to climate change. I.e. the carrying capacity of the Earth will decrease (and I'm of the opinion that the human species has already greatly overshot Earth's carrying capacity; hence the current degradation of our environment).
I think the species will survive, but may experience a population crash (i.e. mass death), and severly reduced quality of life. I think having 1 or 2 kids is fine for now, and hope I'm wrong in my Malthusian-like thinking.
This is actually a decent argument, but there has to be a threshold. For instance, if I take the average of all RGB values in an image, and distribute a pixel with the average, is that breaking copyright or somehow immoral?
I recently looked into the speculated model-size and speculated training set size of GPT and Stable Diffusion, and it does appear that if you thought of them as compression algorithms, they'd only be doing something like 1:7 compression. These ratios aren't outlandish for lossy compression.
Compression and redistribution isn't the (stated) goal of these models. Hypothetically, these models are learning patterns and associations of things like styles and how humans write text. And they appear to do things a little beyond just copying and pasting. So, hypothetically, a lot of the model size could mostly consist of learned styles and human preferences, rather than just a compressed database of the images it was trained on. I guess the real test is trying to prompt the models to reproduce an item in its training set, and evaluating how similar it is.
A long time ago, I used Syncthing to do this. Sometimes there would be file conflicts, which was a pain to resolve, so I switched to BitWarden (using their server for syncing) and have been using it ever since.
