Remember the Atkins diet from the noughties? It was bloody everywhere. Did it die out, or just evolve into something even more loopy?

@TomF isn't that what laid the groundwork for the whole current RFK Jr loopiness?

@danlyke That's why I was reminded of it. But he has clearly taken it to new and loonier heights. I am unclear if the steroids are an official part of the diet or not :-)

@danlyke @TomF Not exactly, RFK Jr. is a product of the same quack universe as fad diets and supplements but Atkins was just one iteration of that, hardly the first or even an early entrant.
The fad diet world moved on to "gluten free" and keto, but now Ozempic exists and is torpedoing the entire business model.

@EricLasota yeah. I grew up with co-ops and Adelle Davis, watched my mom go through a Macrobiotic phase (I did learn to cook a lot of different styles growing up), and around the time of Atkins she went the direction of Weston A Price, and thence to RFK Jr.
So I've personally watched it evolve, and, yeah, it's not exactly the same thing, but...

@TomF it evolved into Keto.

@TomF The Atkins diet is a variant of the Ketogenic diet. They’re both legit weight loss programs… likely the fastest possible. The gotcha is that people assume diet = healthy.
You can do keto by eating salads topped with protein plus some extra olive oil to hit your calorie target. Or you can do it by eating nothing but cream-cheese sausage dip using celery as a spoon like my friend did. Both meal plans are effective at weight loss, but only one of them is healthy.

@TomF When I say “nothing but” I mean only until KFC introduced the “double down” sandwich. (This was over a decade ago.) Cheese, sauce, bacon squeezed between two pieces of fried chicken instead of a bun. My friend dropped 80lbs doing this.

@yora @jkaniarz The problem is that diets are miserable. You're miserable all the time. And once you hit your target weight, they are miserable for the rest of your life.
But if you do the "move more" part of the equation, and do things like picking heavy things up and then putting them down again. Well that's only miserable while you pick the heavy things up. But then you put them down again and it's not miserable any more. Also, you can pick up heavy things if you need to, which is nice.

Come fai a chiedere fiducia agli italiani con un pupazzo digitale? Cittadino Zero potrà anche essere ben fatto, ma è buono per i voti dei robot, non dei cittadini

Intanto grazie mille per l'approfondimento. Anche se, mi tocca ammettere che non sono così "addentro" da capire appieno le tue osservazioni. Infatti ogni tanto ancora riprendo l'articolo originale perchè ci sono passaggi che intuisco, ma di cui non comprendo tutto (o pienamente).
Dormo poco....devo far passare parecchie ore....La cosa che mi mi fa suonare un campanello di allarme in testa è la parte finale della tua conclusione:
" In pratica, è un generatore di Lorem ipsum a tema."
Aiutami a capire: in buona sostanza *non esiste* ad oggi un modo per vincolare un LLM in modo che non spari cavolate, plausibili magari, ma non fondate, non legate a un significato ?
O di verificare prima che risponda all'utente ?Se così fosse, ma allora... ci stanno lavorando o stanno spingendo come dannati una cosa che in pratica è un generatore seriale di cazzate altamente plausibili nella forma, che ogni tanto ci prende anche con il significato?
In pratica un giocattolo, sofisticatissimo, ma....con ben poca utilità a mio avviso. Un oracolo sbronzo.... Considero il significato fondamentale in ogni forma di comunicazione. Altrimenti son supercazzole e basta...In questo caso è davvero *tanto* inquietante considerato tutto quello che vorrebbero affidare a questi LLM / AI. Incluso campo medico...militare... ecc.

Una laurea a Cazzullo, parte II
Avevo scritto (https://poliversity.it/@mcp/116074244948251084) che i rappresentanti delle persone che studiano hanno votato contro il conferimento del titolo ad honorem all'opinionista piemontese. In allegato il manifesto che i ricercatori storici precari hanno appeso all'ingresso del dipartimento pisano di scienze politiche.

That is a great name for a web framework, but I'd be worried folks might confuse it with flutter.dev

@TomF That's awesome! How absolutely un-2026, how the hell did this happen ?!?!?
