Looks to be around the beginning of the 90s or late 80s.

Only the vampire bats. And they only live in Central and South America. Although bats do carry diseases.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Good read.

Leave this here if you wanna learn more about the woman behind this story. She’s not completely unbiased herself and is funded by a Houston billionaire. Her name is Nina Teicholz.

She still might be correct. And the association between saturated fats and heart disease does seem to be moderated by other factors. For example, cheese, butter, and yogurt seem to have more benefits than harm, even with their high saturated fat content. But again, this is based on limited studies.

Also, fiber seems to be a moderator as well. So a high psyllium diet will moderate the effects of saturated fat.

And this is from the WHO, 2022.

Our findings strongly reinforce the guidance that, when replacement energy is required, it should be provided by PUFA, plant sources of MUFA and slowly digested carbohydrates. Thus, dietary fats should come largely from seeds, nuts or liquid vegetable oil (olive, canola) rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats or land animal fats and coconut oil.

Overall though, there are no questions as to whether unsaturated fats are bad for you (they’re not). And the environmental impact of eating saturated animal fats can’t be denied. It would be better for the world if we reduced meat consumption and the use of animal products.

As long as they’re working on it and not implementing it anytime soon, because the tech is definitely not there yet.

I honestly feel bad for deaf people who have to put up with the state of subtitles in all media. There should be some universal standards that all studios should be forced to adhere to.

It’s amazing that there isn’t. Where are the disability rights?

And of course, translated material just adds another layer of complexity. So imagine, an AI has to first capture the proper words being said, then translate it in context and understand obscure references the author might have made, etc… Yeah right… When AI can do that, then we’ll really have artificial “intelligence”.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

And it’s not just energy. Generative AI systems need enormous amounts of fresh water to cool their processors and generate electricity. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a giant data-centre cluster serves OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-4. A lawsuit by local residents revealed that in July 2022, the month before OpenAI finished training the model, the cluster used about 6% of the district’s water. As Google and Microsoft prepared their Bard and Bing large language models, both had major spikes in water use — increases of 20% and 34%, respectively, in one year, according to the companies’ environmental reports. One preprint suggests that, globally, the demand for water for AI could be half that of the United Kingdom by 2027.

Question. Why would you go with 1tb ssds instead of larger hdds? Isn’t the space and price more important than the speed for this use?

You could get double the space (2tb hdd) for the same price as a 1 tb ssd.

Just wondering.

Yes, let’s fight prejudice by stereotyping a whole race, gender, and sexual orientation…

Microsoft Defender will finally stop claiming Tor is malware.

That’s true. From the same study that gave the 33.7% lifetime prevalence, they have 21.3% annual prevalence (those who experienced the disorder in the 12 months before the survey.)

There was no point prevalence (right now) on the study. So maybe it would be lower?

But the study from the article with the 38% figure provides no peer reviewed research. They are a data management firm that conducted a survey.

The other stats come from actual research with stringent methodologies with a much larger sample (9000 compared to 1000 for the data firm).

I think the point is unless they had done the same survey at a population level to compare the numbers between Gen Z and the whole population, there’s no way of knowing if 38% is high or not. Never mind that the article posted here says 60%, which is completely wrong.

This article is terrible. First off, where do they get 60% from?

They link to the wrong research. The research they link to is a survey of people who already have anxiety. If you look at the research of the actual survey of the whole sample, not just those with anxiety, (here), it says that 42% have a diagnosed mental health condition, which includes an anxiety disorder amongst other disorders like depression, ADHD, and so on.

90% of the diagnosed conditions (90% of 42%) is anxiety, which would mean the actual number for only anxiety would be 37.8%.

78% of those 42% (32.76%) have depression as well. So a lot of those people with anxiety also have depression.

So the actual title should be 38% of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder. Which is only a bit higher than the total population.

According to large population-based surveys, up to 33.7% of the population are affected by an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4610617/
