Yeah, I have to agree with this.

Multiple times I've recovered and planted seeds from low quality conventional vegetables and planted them in the garden, and found the results to be quite excellent.

To the extent that cultivar is involved in the enshitification of vegetables, it's mostly that the cultivar makes it more viable to pick it too early, to use excessive amounts of fertilizer, or for the plant to survive the presence of ridiculous pesticides. It usually actually grows normally when not used for those reasons.

LOL you comment on slashdot every day, but you don't remember anything about anything.
Do they cite their "sources?" Do they actually know what their sources are? Does a model contain a record of sources and correlations that could be used to provide that data? Or is that a complete lie, and they actually just do another search and provide a list of potential sources that could provide similar information? (But that might actually completely contradict the slop)

Sure, hopefully you won't bother to look at the studies on medical outcomes that show that taking multivitamins only improves outcomes for the most severely malnourished. For people who aren't halfway starved to death, they're mildly toxic and provide none of the benefits associated with eating foods naturally high in vitamins.

And if you look into the manufacturing processes, you may (or may not) be surprised to learn that the main inputs for "multivitamins" is ultraprocessed toxic industrial waste. It turns out that separating it into base chemicals and repackaging it as the vitamin closest in form to each chemical is cheaper than traditional disposal methods.

I wish that was hyperbole, or trolling.

It's exactly the same in the US if it says "kiwi" on the label.

You're not going to be buying fresh produce, picked at the peak of ripeness... from halfway around the world.

Fuck an A, people...

Meanwhile, in the US, you can buy flavorless, colorless, super-cheap vegetables from one bin, or higher quality, more expensive "organic" vegetables from the bin next to it. Or, for half the year, visit a farm store (these are available in cities, not just actually at farms) and pay even more money for old-fashioned picked-ripe vegetables that taste the same as garden vegetables. Well, better than garden vegetables most of the time, since the average person isn't great at gardening.

I have no idea how it in the UK. But in the US, vegetable quality is both increasing and decreasing at the same time, depending on where you shop. Though obviously, most people buy whatever is cheapest. But as the quality of the cheapest stuff goes down, the backlash goes up, along with the business success of traditional farming.

You left 3 billion people to starve?! You monster!

And yet I can go to the supermarket and buy fruits and vegetables grown in Peru that are the exact same quality as the ones grown in Mexico or California.

They probably do; once a year.

You must be pretty far down the slop-hole if you're now referring to AI slop as "narrative."

A "narrative music video" would mean something like Twilight Zone by Golden Earring (1982). (a great song and video btw, available on yt)

I'm pretty sure he's done entire movies in front of a green screen, so I doubt it's that.

False.

What a world.

A decade ago people were saying that Cage not being risk averse and agreeing to be in any movie that paid him was part of why the content quality was going down every year.

Now his lack of risk aversion makes him into the last hero making a stand to defend the future of the entire industry.

I'll tell you though... "changes for the better" isn't even on my bingo card.

Dingus, that was merely a fact tossed out as context for the events in the story. His arrest has nothing to do with the non-installed security patch, except that the lack of the security patch allowed the cyber crime that he's accused of participating in.

Dear Moron,
That information is part of an ongoing investigation. All the public can expect to learn before the trial is the specific statutory charges; not what the evidence is. Only a complete moron thinks that it would be normal for the evidence to be made public before the trial. It's not the norm. You're simply ignorant of even the basic steps involved in the thing you're ranting about being done wrong.

As for the latter part, no. Absolutely not. The police always have something to hide it doesn't matter if they're silent, or merely lying to you.

You're incapable of understanding the nominal order of operations when a person is accused of a crime, and also too stupid to determine when the cops are lying about it.

Something official was published. In particular, he had a court hearing where he was ordered transferred to the district where he was charged.

So what sort of toxic dictatorship do you hail from where the media isn't allowed to report on court cases?

Are you sure you've actually considered the historical results in places that have used that sort of system?

When the government arrests you on some ridiculous pretext... don't worry, nobody will know, nobody will demand justice, nobody will independently investigate. Because they didn't "dox" you by making your arrest a public record. You will just disappear.

You started on the right track, but suddenly and inexplicably jumped off the cliff.

If it isn't clear what the real story is... maybe you should learn to accept that? And be in a state of knowing ignorance? It's the most common state, and the most important state. "I do not yet know." Anything you think about, you should be able to rapidly go into details that you don't know, but if you did know you could follow the chain further. And then to stop.

Instead, when you get to end of what you know, you make a presumption based on your cynical expectations. That's the sign of an idiot. Whatever you think about, instead of arriving at the boundary of your knowledge, you'll land in an assumption that lies beyond it. An idiot of all trades, apprentice of none.

We have no idea what the real story is. Full stop. We have no idea what the real story is.
