Cost by Protein Source
  • Is that extra soft tofu? It usually has more protein than that. A pack of extra-soft I have is 8g / 100g, and some other varieties seem to be 10-15 from online sources.

  • Cost by Protein Source
  • That seems reasonable, given they presumably use the price for dried beans as well. When you care about price (and therefore about about a price/protein graph) you buy beans dried.

  • If you can't make a single sincere counter-argument to your own belief, your stance is driven by emotion rather than logic
  • It's not controversial to accept that all reasoning requires making some basic assumptions. You do understand that I'm just pointing out that a counter-argument exists and I don't actually take it to be damning. It is the same as in all fields; there are assumptions. We assume non-contradiction and an excluded middle. This is reasonable because we can't do much without the assumption. You can call it a properly basic belief. But that doesn't make it objectively true. A person who doesn't make these assumptions—if one exists—could be ridiculed, called less than nothing, even. Such a person could form no coherent views. So? I agree that all useful though must make these presupposition. But perceived utility does not a truth make.

    Listing philosophers doesn't do much. I'll freely admit to not having read much of theirs, and I certainly won't consume their corpora for an internet discussion. However I would be delighted to learn the mistake I've made, because I'm certainly no expert philosopher. If you don't wish to continue, have a great day. If you do, I look forward to it.

  • If you can't make a single sincere counter-argument to your own belief, your stance is driven by emotion rather than logic
  • Oh sure, you can believe things without a sound proof (especially since even those must rely on assumptions). I was mostly trying to demonstrate that there are sincere counter-arguments to even such an uncontroversial belief. Would love to see your rigorous proof if you think you have one though.

  • Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?"
  • Maybe there's a cultural idea about mirrors being somehow "the same". After all, a mirror shows the same thing regardless of which one it is. Or related in cultural mythology to a singular adjoining world that contains your doppelganger (in such media, you don't usually have a separate mirror-self for every mirror, but one that can be accessed from any mirror). Also could be a turn of phrase that stuck without a good reason.

  • Using any DE be like:
  • What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there's a gesture I'm missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

  • Using any DE be like:
  • I haven't had to use any application like that in a while, though I'm sure you're right that they exist. Could you give me an example of an application feature that's only accessible from the system tray?

  • Why has no one thought of this before?!
  • I mean, two nuclear bombs were used in war and a bunch in testing, unless I'm forgetting something. I feel like tectonic activity could definitely be much worse than that, judging by the early earth environment.

  • What happened to OpenAI’s long-term AI risk team?
    1. Misalignment is a huge problem in any black-box system, not just in AGIs.
    2. What would it look like for us to be close to AGI? I have doubts that we're close, but it seems at least plausible.
  • Not a Coincidence
  • I read it as pro-gyn-nova

    • Pro: as in professional/effective
    • Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
    • Nova: new (in many romance languages)

    It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I'm sure there are other readings of it too.

  • It is very therapeutic to garden, though.
  • Fix the system, make a new system, buy discerningly. Have a garden if you can and advocate for more of them if you want. Fight against monoculture, irresponsible fertilizer and pesticide use, copyright abuse, and more. None of that is an irreplacable part of growing food at a large and efficient scale.

    By the way, I'm curious about the Haber-Bosch figure. Isn't that the process that allows us to easily make fertilizer, and greatly increase productivity? It seems like that 5% is doing much more heavy lifting than, for example, the ~20% from cow burps.

  • Current State of Proton?

    I'm looking to reduce my dependence on Google services as much as possible, and Proton seems to offer the most comprehensive private suite. A number of things seemed to be missing, but most of my information is from reviews that could be out of date. So I wanted to ask which of these features Proton can replicate.

    • Thunderbird mail syncing (without paid plan?)
    • Thunderbird calendar syncing
    • Calendar sharing
    • Easy move from google drive to proton drive
    • Sync android photos like google photos
    • Offline file saving for specific files in proton drive on android
    • Sync with folder or mount on linux (smb or similar)

    Stuck with Google router. Is port forwarding impossible?

    I have a number of services I'd like to host, and an old laptop with some of them set up and working on my network.

    But I currently have a Google router, and the Google home app doesn't seem to let you port forward. The "Port Management" option in Advanced Settings redirects to privacy settings.

    There's one port I forwarded before the app broke a few years ago, but I don't suppose it's viable to run multiple services through a single port.

    Is there a workaround, or am I stuck until I can get a new router?

    Update: After more troubleshooting it seems like this is caused by the more fundamental issue of the app not communicating with the network at all. If anyone has ideas for troubleshooting that problem, advice would be very appreciated.

    How to jump to context

    Is there a way to jump to the post where a reply (seen in notifications) or comment (seen in profile) was made?
