Fat is your body’s energy store. When you need energy, your body will consume it from your bloodstream. If there isn’t enough there, it’ll break down fat to create more.

So what consumes energy?

  • Moving
  • Thinking
  • Being alive

The last one is what uses up the most energy and you’re already doing it.

This comment is the reason why they teach us how to structure essays in school. I should not have to read this far into your comment before getting any hint of what you’re trying to say.

I’d usually start with easily digestible content like YouTube videos or ChatGPT. At this point, I’m not too concerned about the correctness of the information. It mainly gives me vocabulary that I can then look up for further reading along with the perspective of one or two individuals. That might be all I care about, and if so, I’d stop there and go on with my day. If I want to dive deeper, I’ll look up textbooks and papers on the topic, or any other relevant primary sources. Basically do a light literature review.

Framework sounds great in theory, but it’s hard to justify nearly double the cost compared to a Lenovo T-series.

If no one can make sense of the change, then you reject it. Makes no difference if it was generated with an LLM or copy-pasted from Stackoverflow.

Locals: shop around for the place that sells it at the lowest cost. Take extra time to go to different stores for different products even if they’re all available in one place. Regular price too high? Vote with your wallet and don’t buy it. Good price but you don’t have much money? Buy less.

Wealthy foreigner: This is cheap. I’ll take it.

No one needs to know your income. The price may be the same for everyone, but if you’re willing to pay a higher price, then they’ll be more likely to keep the higher price, thus reducing everyone else’s buying power. If you buy more than the locals and help eat up their stock, that again incentivises keeping prices where they are, or even increasing them. The storekeepers don’t care about how much money you have. They look at whether things sell or not, then make their decisions based on that.

Anything we can provide is just a drop in the ocean of data they already have. Plus, this was how image generation worked before we got diffusion models (see “generative adversarial networks”) and they never reached the level of image quality that diffusion models did.

It takes one day to do the actual voting. It takes a lot more time to figure out who to vote for.

What do you mean? Your ear and nose are connected in a way, but I’ve never heard of ears having an influence on smell.
