A broken clock is right twice a day. Inventions are only good when they reliably work for all the intended solutions.

Complaining about the depreciation of that vehicle with extra steps.

The good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.

The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.

My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You'll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.

Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It's very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it's a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.

You'll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.

To be fair, this is much deeper than Trump. The cancer runs deep, in the veins of all the legislators, judges, advisors, and voters who enable this behaviour unchecked.

I'm using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it's a fair amount more work, but it's cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.

Not to downplay this, but you had to assume this and far worse was already happening, even before Trump 2

Here's an idea: instead, ban devices that do not function without an internet connection. Devices are not "smart" when you have no sovereignty over them.

Why would anyone believe any of this attainable for the average person in the best economy? A personal chef? Common, this has to be some right wing satire.

I have a different take.

AI today is basically a mechanical school. AI students are trained to give a specific answer. This is at the heart of how all machine learning works, including generative AI. Even image generators do this.

"Here's a million examples of what the pixelated representation of a hand looks like; now go and make a derivative copy."

This is fine for objective facts, like physics and history. It is useless for art.

Merely drawing a hand is not art, it's an objective truth (do typical humans have 5 or 6 fingers?). But art school is not about objective truths. Art school teaches creativity. Specifically challenging ideas and expression.

AIs can't fundamentally challenge ideas and express themselves because they lack personal experience, personality and individuality.

Society at large has been fooled into thinking that speech (LLM) and other generative AI lead to AGI. But the reality is that these models have more in common with encyclopedias and stock image libraries than intelligence.

Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.

I might look into this myself...

Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG/SVGO? If not, that's a glaring omission.

Horses can go places cars cannot. You have completely missed the point.
