Good?

Seems like she was there when Hulu was great and when Macromedia was great.


What does eating pretty well mean to you? Maybe you don't even if you think you do? We don't know without your budget or a receipt from your typical grocery run

Also some folks are just smaller than others.

They do try to account for this in their method. Men, women, and children of different ages all have different amounts of assumed food intake

Mostly what the typical nutritional guidance has advocated consistently over the last few decades, with maybe slightly higher protein intake.

6-8 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, fairly liberal amounts of dairy and lean protein, lesser amounts of red meat. Grains like breads/rice for additional carbohydrates.

Admittedly, avoiding eating out regularly is the #1 way I keep food costs down, though.


A 2 second Google search, GPT2, or reading the article before commenting could have answered their question. It's rude to readers of this site to litter the board with lazy questions like that.

Its like George Washington and the other founding fathers, didn't become a king voluntarily, helped create the country and modern democracy, but loved his slaves so much they could only be freed after he was dead. You can create good while actually still being a terrible person. Much of this era is people being upset about their fallen "heroes"

> helped create the country and modern democracy

I’ll give you the creation of the country but modern democracy was not born in the USA. Your overall point is still valid though.


Why would you want to mix your personal plan with your company plan and subject yourself to the company auditing your personal GitHub, computer, etc. If the company wants you using LLMs then they should pay for it and increase your limits.

Do one better, block ads and give them false data on your profile using a solution like Ad Nauseam.

Ad Nauseam unironically gives ad networks massively more information and data points to track you than if you just straight up blocked the ads.

Do you have a source besides yourself?

Ignoring the fact that OP does not know about existing solutions like Grocy where people do find value in the currently tedious setup of adding products and tracking their kitchens inventory, and just zeroing in on your first point. The paper grocery list is terrible

If you cook at all a solution like Mealie becomes your cookbook. Its trivial to create grocery list for when you take the time to plan out your meals for the day, week, or month. If you are not shopping by yourself, everyone on the app can just pick up things in the grocery store independently. Its an actual time saver

Mealie exposes an API so you could theoretically expose it to another solution like Home Assistant and have your grocery list sync with your errands list. Suddenly you have the ability so that anyone using Home Assistant could get an alert when they are nearby the grocery store or Costco to pick up things on this combined list. Maybe your partner is walking by a store you've created a zone for, with items on your master list, gets an alert, and they can mark off some things that they picked up and it syncs back to where the items were originally added. Your inventory is then updated based on marked off items.

Now imagine if you did not have to come up with the bespoke master list for all the stores you go to and it can determine when to send that alert. You can also just snap a picture of your receipt or shopping cart and it is all figured out for you.

But you could just use piece of paper with the magnet on the fridge.

Theres a lot of manual process that can be eliminated for things people already find convenient enough to do manually. Local models can easily handle much of this already.


Why should professors face death threats head on? What are they going to do differently besides self censor?

Just have them use it on their computer or the web?

It improved my grades so much in college that I spent the 25 bucks as a broke student so I could have it on my second hand iPad. This was before AnkiDroid even existed so it's amazing the price is still the same.


That works for people who already convinced that they want to use it. I'm talking about people who've heard it for the first time and they're not going to spend 25$ for some new app just to try. 25$ is unusually high price for an AppStore app and it's just doesn't work unless you're really determined to use it. I don't understand why people are downvoting this.

I would argue that it's almost impossible to start first with the mobile version so this situation should never happen. The computer version is essential for setting up and getting decks. The web version remains free as well.

Why would it be the case?

Anki app has an interface for adding/editing cards, and can absolutely be used without AnkiWeb or syncing. In fact, this is how I used it myself for years. I would argue that using AnkiWeb and syncing is an advanced feature for people who got the taste of having own decks and don't want to loose it.


They can just use the computer version then, and buy it when they know it's useful for them?

Some people would need to buy computer first. Again, it's very hard to recommend mobile app to people if you need to add these kind of "workarounds". Especially for the main target audience - young students – many of whom live in their mobile phones and not used to spend 25$ for apps.

Every university student in the Western world has access to a Computer, and those who are poor usually have an Android Phone (with free AnkiDroid) and not a very expensive iPhone. If they can afford an iPhone they can afford the App

I think this "problem" is somewhat made up


Well, I don't want to sound patronizing, but the world is so much bigger than your notion of "Western world" where every student with iPhone has computer.

You are patronizing. Every student with an iPhone has access to a computer even if it isn't their own. If they are so poor that none of their facilities have one then they have a cheap Android.

This fictional person you describe also has access to the web and Anki on there.

Anki is not a very useful tool if you are not making or editing your own decks or a teacher is for you. This is an incredibly painful experience on mobile.


> Every student with an iPhone has access to a computer even if it isn't their own

This is simply not true.


Well I have a friend who manages his entire self written 10.000 Card collection entirely on an Samsung Tab with AnkiDroid.

I would agree with you, but he doesn't seem to mind


They can try it on desktop and web for free if they are that skeptical.

Can you imagine, a lot of young people don't have desktop/laptop, only mobile.

You're all over this thread spreading misinformation. AdNauseam has been around since 2014. It is specifically banned in the Chrome store so Google knows of it's existence. If you check the wikipedia page you'll see that they have landed in the press and taken multiple actions against the extension. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdNauseam

Usually when it's brought up people say it doesn't work or try to spread fear that it is illegal. Google banning them but taking no action otherwise indicates to me and the thousands who use it that it is in fact effective and Google has no other recourse other than their control over the most popular browser.
