  Tomatoes are acidic, backing soda is alkaline, sugar is neutral. Adding baking soda to canned tomatoes will neutralize the acid but won’t change the taste too much (depending on the amount). Adding sugar won’t change the acidity of tomatoes but will greatly change the taste.

  From my personal experience, adding sugar to a simmering tomato sauce for long enough that sugar caramelizes, will make the sauce way better.

  Let’s start with saying that the so called AI is not “intelligence”. It’s just a pretty advanced algorithm doing some “magic”. Behind the scenes it’s just a regular linear algebra equations dealing with bazillions of rows and columns feeded from the huge matrix. Modern mobile devices are capable of running “AI” models locally but it would cost a lot of power which would make a phone as unusable as Apple watch (aka charge it few times a day). So, the easy tasks like face id are done locally, more complex one (voice assistants) are outsourced to the cloud.

  While I agree that the federal government response was at best mediocre, the people were just plain stupid. I cannot count situations where people were refusing to were a mask because it “limits the human rights” or “it suffocates”. Honestly, I hope next pandemic will be more deadly, so the nature will run its course.

  China is as bad as US. Period.

  I wonder how much Google spends on bribes?

  I will play the devil’s advocate. What if the youths that committed the crimes just grew up and now appear in the adult’s crime stats?

  I hope he was also provided with a bill, aka stupidity tax.

  According to BOM aurora won’t be visible - www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora/3/1. On the other hand there was a huge solar flare released yesterday so maybe it will be visible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly because of the amount of good quality content. But as I said, I’ve moved to radarr/sonarr so I interact with less and less.

  There is this torrent site I use that likes to use javascript to redirect to various malicious websites on every single click. After reaching the desired amount of clicks, it start behaving like a normal, “legit” website. Just of out curiosity I checked few other torrent websites and got the same result. It got so annoying that I’m using radarr and sonarr to look for torrents.

  I know what dns poisoning is but it usually happens on so called legit sites. Pirate sites serve you malware out of the box.

  Somehow “legit” sites won’t try to install malware on my laptop. So, I take more regular ads over piracy crap.
