It seems like carnivores exist and have done things like lost weight and have good medical tests to see the impact of the diet in relation to their health, hence there has been a push to experiment with more animal products in the diet over seed oils / veggies at times
Yes, people putting effort into a "carnivore diet" can be healthy. The problem raised by the article is people continuing to follow their same eating patterns (namely, ultra-processed foods) while the fats have been swapped out.
Thank you. Apart from really not wanting to give Twitter any visits, it’s also a pain in the ass if you don’t have the app installed and use proper privacy settings.
No problem with xcancel or nitter, I wish more people would share the links to these as well
What does Catholicism have to do with "(American) conservative"?
Some beliefs of Catholic faith are agreeable to American "conservatives" - "homosexuality bad, no abortion, no euthanasia". Others are music to the ears of American "liberals" - "help the poor and downtrodden, love the foreigner and everyone else, no capital punishment". But the church is the church. I don't see it as liberal or conservative. I suspect if you asked the pope, or cardinals or bishops, most would say the church is beyond such secular concerns and labels.
It has been around for far longer than any political movement or country. And I'd bet good money that it outlasts all of them.
> pushing views
A religious leader espousing religious views? Shocker.
> strongly opposed to Catholicism
Literally wrong. Only the Pope can tell you what Catholicism is. You can take it or leave it but that's how it is.
So to add to what you're saying here, a pope cannot teach error in specific infallible declarations on faith and morals, because then the whole Church would fall in to error.
Ergo, some like St. Robert Bellarmine have argued for example if a pope were to teach heresy, he would immediately cease to be a pope; others have argued it impossible for a pope to ever teach heresy at all as this was something they believed God wouldn't allow.
So, if you were to see someone claiming to be pope and teaching error on infallible issues of faith and morals, you'd have to conclude logically they could not be a Catholic pope, from a Catholic standpoint.
> [the pope] poses as "conservative" while pushing views strongly opposed to Catholicism."
is a nonsense statement.
The Pope is Catholic and he preaches Catholicism. The Pope doesn't "pose" as anything. Some of what he preaches sounds conservative or liberal or whatever. That doesn't matter to him. What he promulgates was already ancient when any political movement of today was born.
> "the pope [appears to be] pushing views strongly opposed to Catholicism"
According to who? It's a safe bet that a pope won't say "actually now you may covet your neighbor's wife" without a head injury or dementia being involved (in which case his staff would cover for him or he'd be retired somehow). That leaves questions of arcane doctrine that a regular Catholic simply isn't qualified to judge. They have the choice of leaving the church or staying and obeying as best they can.
While the Vatican does have walls, anyone can pretty much just walk on through them with perhaps a trip through a metal detector, so not sure what you mean.
The Catholic Church also does not teach that there cannot be restrictions on immigration, it simply says that we should treat people with dignity while enforcing such restrictions.
Neither Francis nor Leo (not sure which you mean by New Pope) have stated deportations or restrictions on immigration are wrong. Unfortunately, they are often taken out of context or do not provide clear statements which leads to confusion like you are experiencing.
I think it's an interesting conversation; there's an assumption that "vibe coding is complete and incapable of creating Photoshop alternatives".
But it's more like, still open to debate but sounds likely: how long until vibe coding is powerful enough to generate Photoshop alternatives quickly?
So yeah I think people would concede the point that vibe coding isn't quite all there yet; but is it there at the size of a function or module or collection of small pieces of code? Definitely.
The other part of the conversation is about how AI-assisted coders may be doing other things than creating a Photoshop alternative. Maybe many of us don't need Photoshop and use something like Gimp instead. Maybe people feel existing software like Photoshop or its alternatives are "sufficient enough" so they're building something else instead. Maybe the people who use Photoshop lack incentives or skills to vibe code an app themselves, and maybe the people who don't use it aren't interested in creating a Photoshop alternative.
Maybe there are other bottlenecks than just code generation that are holding back more alternatives being created: where to post code after you create it, when there is more "noise" online; of getting ideas for things to create in general, which might be a problem independent of AI; of other economic and social conditions that have people focused on solving other problems currently rather than creating a Photoshop alternative.
So I think the point stands that we don't have the expected Photoshop alternatives currently, but I think we will probably see more of that in time, and we might also see AI be used in other ways than may be expected (another comment for example suggested maybe people might skip Photoshop altogether and just use AI to generate photos or effects; I can appreciate the idea that this doesn't replace how a lot of people use Photoshop, but on the other hand I can also think of some instances where it might for some people).
AI has obliviated both the need and the desire for discrete pixel manipulation outside of the existing professional disciplines. It has been replaced by the explosion of diffusion models with a direct human language --> pixel image loop.
Nobody who wanted to erase a tree or fix their smile paid for Photoshop anyway. and Photoshop does a a lor more than pixel manipulation. So, a moot point.
Isn't it more like why would you want to vibe code Photoshop?
It feels like a massive chore and will likely cost more to do than lifetime of your subscription, not to mention alternative cost of not being able to do other things because you are vibe coding photoshop.
I guess I mean more that there doesn't seem to be an agreed upon convention that people actively use so that I don't have to manually rename things
(otherwise I wouldn't have to ask a question about this topic if files I download had some title you'd easily find in a search through files)
and I was wondering if we should encourage people to utilize a certain filename convention or if existing lack of a convention has a purpose
(programming languages for example sometimes have "style conventions" for how code should look; likewise I guess this is a kind of question about a convention about naming files - intuitively I'd think a PDF file of a book on "Geology 101" should be named "Geology101Book.pdf" for example, but frequently I do not encounter this)
