  • Hi, ByteOnBikes. Rule 3 of this community doesn’t technically cover your post because it only pertains when linking articles, but the spirit still applies: if there are better sources than a screenshot of a news station posted in /r/Philippines, we’d prefer to use them to not act as potential vectors for fake news.

    I’d therefore ask that you either replace the /r/Philippines link with the video of the full news segment or to make that the main link in your post. Please additionally summarize your post in the title, for example even just by using the subheadline for the title instead (but not all-caps). Thanks.


  • I know you mean well, but please explain the difference in tone between my comment (just the original, which the downvotes came from) and this one with 20 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Functionally there is no difference in tone or (as you noted) factual accuracy. If anything, the linked comment is more prescriptive in that it directly tells the reader what to do (“keep your teeth clean”). That I compared an omnivorous diet negatively against a predominantly or wholly plant-based one in any way is the obvious reason why this has as many downvotes as upvotes: people are conditioned to see any mention of a vegan diet’s health benefits as preachy and dogmatic.


  • A vegan diet or one at least heavily plant-based (and diets like the Mediterranean one) are consistently linked to lower inflammation in meta-analysis after meta-analysis.

    Edit: I have no clue why this is getting downvoted. Examples below:

    • “The present systematic review provides evidence that vegan and vegetarian diets are associated with lower CRP levels, a major marker of inflammation and a mediator of inflammatory processes.” —Scientific Reports (2020)
    • “This umbrella review offers valuable insights on the estimated reduction of risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases and cancer, and the CVDs-associated mortality, offered by the adoption of plant-based diets through pleiotropic mechanisms. Through the improvement of glycolipid profile, reduction of body weight/BMI, blood pressure, and systemic inflammation, A/AFPDs significantly reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease, gastrointestinal and prostate cancer, as well as related mortality.” —PLoS One (2024)
    • “Evidence strongly suggests that plant-based dietary patterns that are abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains with less emphasis on animal foods and processed foods are a useful and a practical approach to preventing chronic diseases. Such dietary patterns, from plant-exclusive diets to plant-centered diets, are associated with improved long-term health outcomes and a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Given that neurodegenerative disorders share many pathophysiological mechanisms with CVD, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular damage, it is reasonable to deduce that plant-based diets can ameliorate cognitive decline as well.” —Advances in Nutrition (2019)

    A vegan diet is just generally lower in inflammatory foods than an omnivorous one.

    If I’m paying $900 for a phone, you’d better believe that 4K30 is the barest of bare minimums I’m expecting that rear camera to do unless it’s a deliberate tradeoff for something more ethical like a Fairphone. The Pixel 9 base model can shoot at 4K60 and 1080p240 (256 GB and the same $900 price). “Good AI features” lmfao blow it out your ass, Asus. I wonder where this comparison chart is coming from anyway.





  • What you’re saying expressly isn’t true. Academically, deep learning is considered a subset of machine learning is considered a subset of artificial intelligence.

    • Deep learning is machine learning that makes use of deep neural networks.
    • Machine learning is artificial intelligence which can perform tasks without explicit instructions by learning from a dataset and generalizing to other data.
    • Artificial intelligence is simply trying to make a computer display some sort of intelligence that’s seen as human-like. For example, a perceptron is artificial intelligence because how could a computer possibly see like a human? Chess bots are artificial intelligence because it was thought that chess represented some sort of higher intelligence unique to humans. NPC actions in video games can be artificial intelligence because you’re simulating what another human might do.

    Would you like the textbooks from 10 years ago on this exact subject that I’m referencing? The term AI hasn’t been co-opted; you might’ve simply been thinking of general artificial intelligence, because “pretty much any form of machine learning” has been called AI since the dawn of machine learning – because it is.
