But what immediately comes to mind from reading the title are all the "AI solutions" for the as-of-yet undecoded voynich manuscript that are posted with surprising (and increasing) frequency to at least one forum. They're all incompatible and fall apart on closer inspection.

A collection of them can be found at https://www.voynich.ninja/forum-59.html .

Do you have any source for this? I can find some "it-might-be-bad" studies through a quick googling, but in general the idea seem to be that excess B12 is thought to be unproblematic ("it's just peed out").

It's the old, non-iterative everything-up-front method to rocket development that's weird. At least as a developer it seems obvious that a more hardware-rich approach with a high iteration rate will lead to a better outcome in the end, _especially_ when you're trying to push hard on the technological boundaries.

I don't see why you think that this is what he thinks? It's certainly not what I think. What he is doing is answering persistent claims going too far the other way; that his success is only because of seed money from his father.

Or, as you say seemingly somewhat derogatory, "daddy". Their relationship wasn't always that great as far as I understand it, but I don't know the details.

He almost went bankrupt getting their first small rocket to space. He wasn't exactly poor at the time thanks to paypal, but he didn't have anything close to unlimited funds. He is a billionaire now because he succeeded, not the other way around.

> [..] which the founders were the actual people creating their first products from scratch.

If your claim is that Elon was not involved in creating the products, this is misinformed. https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/eviden... is the link I have handy.

The "pedo"-thing was stupid and deserve criticism, but he was actually asked to continue working on the submarine: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1016684366083190785

Here he thanks Tom Mueller: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1333544636137283586

Here he thanks some Tesla club members: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1211836235762880512

Here he thanks NASA for all the support over the years, "without which this would not have happened": https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1219127317957615617

Here he says that "Gwynne is the best": https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1538400836669296640

That's just a random collection I found with a couple of quick google searches.

If you have actually watched for example the starbase tours with Elon, it's difficult to claim that he isn't "involved": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t705r8ICkRw

I'll get hungry of course, but in a way where I'm more happy just eating some reasonable amount of actual food instead of stuffing myself with a bag of crisps or worse.

This might also be psychological; it feels good after exercising so I feel more inclined to stay on the path.

The result, either way, is that while I know from experience that just changing my diet works to lose weight, it becomes a lot easier to keep it up when also exercising.

I'm not going to defend the choice of words, but nowhere does Valkhyr say that the vaccine isn't effective.

That would be like reading that people still die in car crashes and arrive at the conclusion that seat belts and airbags are useless.

But Servo, to the best of my knowledge, was* an R&D project to develop an new experimental engine. The parts lifted into Firefox are now presumably maintained and developed as a part of Firefox proper.

Don't get me wrong, I was disappointed when i heard that the Servo team was laid off. We are probably missing out on new exciting things that could have come out of it. I just wanted to clarify that cutting Servo did not, as far as I know, mean that any current part of Firefox is now unmaintained or undeveloped.

* Servo is still alive and developed outside of Mozilla, I don't know if's doing well or not.

Just to clarify, Servo was never a part of Firefox. Maybe that's not what you meant, but I've seen it confused with Gecko before which is the actual browser engine used by Firefox.

And as much as I am puzzled by some of the design choices lately - for the android version of Firefox especially - I think that it would be a loss in more ways than one to lose the last (?) real alternative to the Chromium-based family of browsers.
