Can't wait for the year of the vibe coded OS.

Isotopic testing shows that early humans primarily subsisted on herbivores and small game, including fish. Please refer to this study for Europe.

Early modern humans also appear to have regularly hunted large herbivores (55–57), but there is also evidence for the use of small game, including fish at some of these sites (15, 16).

Or this study, also from Nature, again studying the first modern humans and late Neandertals in Europe:

based on stable isotopes, the mammoth seems to contribute the major part of the dietary protein of humans in a time range between 50,000 and 30,000 years ago and across wide areas spanning from SW France11 to the Crimean Peninsula53 (Fig. 6, Supplementary Fig. 5–8).

It is inaccurate to state that humans did not eat much meat prior to modern times.

Next time I meet up with my mouse friends I'll be sure to let them know.

Word of mouth existed long before advertising, and as for algorithmic discoverability retailers do a fine job of that already.

"It's my ccomputer" has already been mentioned, but it's my bandwidth and my home network too. Ads can stay off it.

Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”

Since I don't feel the need for ambience nor multi-modal experiences in my OS, considering the implementation of that "modality" I'm afraid that even as a long-time Windows user I'm going to have to switch to another OS that closer aligns to my needs.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

The association is funded by a number of food multinationals, pharmaceutical companies, and food industry lobbying groups, such as the National Confectioners Association. The Academy has faced controversy regarding corporate influence and its relationship with the food industry and funding from corporate groups such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Mars, and others.

...

During fiscal year 2015, the organisation received $1.1 million in corporate sponsorship's from companies like General Mills, Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co via donations, joint initiatives, and programs.

Emphasis mine. As always, it's important to view all organizations in the context of their relationship with other larger and more influential organizations.

If there's a game that ever needed stringent anticheat, it's Battlefield.

Those pesky ethics committees...

Nobody says that all vegetables are ultraprocessed, that would be a silly statement to make. However, UPFs are mostly made with plant material.

There's nothing uplifting about more UPFs.
