yeah that was my understanding. for some reason corn syrup is vilified. the real problem there (as I understand it) is corn subsidies.

Is there evidence supporting the idea that sugar is more satiating? My understanding was that they were equally unhealthy

But surely people's willingness to listen to an AI is contingent on their past experience with this model

Why didn't they use a model people actually use?

New comment by brokensegue in "GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra produces proof of the Cycle Double Cover Conjecture [pdf]"

brokensegue — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 21:17:01 +0000

Fable told me

> Verdict: I checked every step and found no error. The argument appears to be a correct proof of the Cycle Double Cover conjecture, modulo two standard cited results (the reduction to loopless cubic graphs and the Jaeger–Kilpatrick 8-flow theorem, both real and well-established).

> Two caveats: this would settle a ~50-year-old open problem in three pages, so it deserves independent expert scrutiny regardless of my check; and I couldn't reach the web from here to confirm the paper's provenance or any community response, so I can't tell you its status beyond the mathematics itself.

Brainfuck is probably the most famous esoteric programming language. It's mentioned (and used) in published papers e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10994-019-05821-2. Probably not a good comparison point.

I think a more comparable language would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio...

if people want there to be an article on Odin they can contribute to the current draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Odin_(programming_langua...

it's really not much to manage assuming you are already doing backups. you ~ pay the energy cost either way.

there are models between 2-grams and 600m param models that would be good options. i don't expect a 2-gram to do very well here. also i'm not sure why this model isn't a fine choice if it solves their problem

you should link your data to wikidata which will get you free connection back to crunchbase and other sources e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97041185

You could even back some of the data from there

EU tried to ban tracking cookies. Anyone could've seen the result coming (every site now disrupts your reading). The defeatist attitude would've been right there.

I don't see how games won't just charge you a $0.01 "subscription" that lasts 5 years or various other such sidesteps. it'll just make everything more annoying.
