That really is the core of the issue, and furthermore once you've used to a sugar diet you crave it more and regular food starts tasting worse in comparison somehow. I bet it's something to do with the gut-brain connection and a large glut of sugar eating bacteria signalling it's time to feed them. Just a theory, but there is some kind of correlated process there.

And the reverse is also true, if you go a while without eating anything high in sugar, what used to taste normal can taste almost unbearably sweet. Exceedingly hard to do with it added to just about all things in absurd amounts though.

I wouldn't really call it "creative liberties", I would simply call it misleading the reader. Words mean things, and seeing it described as a "trojan horse" might lead you to think you're safe if you haven't downloaded and run anything dubious.

Brain fog also comes from eating 1000 calories a day for many until their body adjusts to a fat metabolism, much like keto flu. Also eating less makes your margin of error for bad micronutrient density significantly lower. You would need to tease out what is the medication and what comes from a low calorie diet in these patients by giving both groups (placebo vs medicated) the same diet and seeing the effects.

She's not all that prone to falls, but she seems to hang on to more able people a lot when she walks.

Also there is plenty of tasty food that isn't hyperpalatable. Those foods are more difficult to overeat because they're very filling. The problem with hyperpalatable junk food is that it's both especially pleasurable to eat and especially good at overriding our natural satiety cues.

My point is that you end up with fewer fat cells, but unsure whether this has any impact on weight regain.

(Which is worth assessing if there are concerns about these drugs increasing the number of fat cells (otherwise unusual in adulthood) and creating a risk of fat volume rebound beyond initial levels after discontinuation).
No, what you said is that food marketing and the amount of sugars and fats in purchased foods are the cause of obesity.

Before the 80s, food also was packed with fat and sugar, and advertised constantly. I subjectively feel that people saw far more food advertising in the 80s and before than they do now. And the government diet suggestions were to increase your consumption of carbs and reduce fats.

edit: and people definitely drank far more Coke, and McDonald's meals were far less healthy.

People need to have their expectations set on ChatGPT, just like how they have to set their expectations on Dall-E/MJ/etc. My experiences so far with both as an ML person with interests in both domains is that they get things 80-90% right, with some big flaws.

Just like how Dall-E can paint a human face pretty well but then mess up on their fingers and other extremities, ChatGPT can give you some really logical-sounding statements but totally bomb the actual facts of things.

You made two claims: (1) current language models are useless and (2) current language models have reached a ceiling. I said:

If (1) is true, then the answer to that question is "zero" or at least "close to zero". Do you really believe that?

If (2) is true, then it is also true to say that transformer models will never exceed today's capabilities by a significant amount at any time in the future. Do you really believe that?

Colorful ASCII Christmas Tree in C# by ChatGPT
tl;dr if you want to scam dagw then make up a compelling story behind the art.

I mean, sure I guess. Tell me something is a lost Michelangelo and I will judge it very differently than if you told me it was a half way decent forgery from the 1970s. I find this rather uncontroversial.

For the vast majority of the things you see in this world context will be lost

And when that context is lost something of great potential value is lost with it and the physical artefact is much less interesting because of it. Even a mundane thing owned by a famous person or that has been part of famous event is always more interesting and valuable than the same thing without any context.

the art isn't the object, but the creator of the story.

Do you think the thousands of people that travel from all over the world and line up for hours to see the Mona Lisa are there to see a pretty good portrait that some merchants commissioned of his wife, or to partake in the story of that painting and its creator? If they actually only cared about the object as an artefact and an example of early 16th century painting, they'd be much better off studying high resolution digital images of it online.

> It may be dull, but it’s also anti-Semitic.

Yes, so? That's relevant because antisemitism is wrong? Really, in a thread about banning books you bring up wrong ideas?

> This strikes me as being complete nonsense. Anyway, citation needed.

I could give you a citation, but you banned the source material, remember. That's double plus ironic because Hitler's work is absolutely full with vitriolic ramblings about how the Jewish media is spreading wrong ideas poisonous for the soul of the nation. "The bigger the lie, the most likely it is to be belived", he laments, and explicitly calls for the suppression of such speech. He would get to enact those ideas in a few short years.

Antifascist activists who are looking at book bans as a weapon for their fight should probably take a good hard look in the mirror; they might see some disturbing semblance.
Here is my explainer.

Take things we already do in 2D and make them 3D. The 3D world will marginally increase the utility of what we do but will greatly increase the cost. The equipment will be expensive and the cost of making content will increase substantially. A fairly large percentage of our users will become nauseous using the device but that is ok - we can sell drugs like Zofran to help with the nausea. The equipment will not be portable so users will not be able to carry it with them for use when they are bored which is our primary use case currently. That is ok because at some point they will spend all their time in Metaversa being nauseous - being nauseous will seem normal and not being nauseous in the Real will seem weird. At this point our users cease to contributors to the gene pool.

Once we realize this isn't going to work we double pivot back to Facebook Classic. We claim our users are demanding the Old Facebook and won't settle for anything less. Users will be so relieved that we have gone back to simply selling their data instead of making them ill they will gladly except any Eula we give them. Kaaaa..ching

I believe you are correct, but that leaves several possibilities for the drugs to be effective. They could work by either causing you to lose interest in food/improving impulse control so that you eat less, or by increasing your calorie burn rate, or by causing your body to absorb less calories from the same amount of food.

Oh I totally get that, and as someone who likes to program for fun...

One of the ways you make more time available for the things you learn for fun (esoteric programming, rock climbing, ultimate, playing music, flying gliders) is by being very intentional about what you choose to learn for "your job."

Another comment made a good point: Perhaps we should call such learning "training." We expect automobile mechanics to know the basic physics behind ICE, but nobody expects the person changing their oil to learn about the computational fluid dynamics involved in designing fuel injection systems.

If you ask, "How can I learn about programming," I would expect the answer to involve a mix of both CompSci basics and practical direction for writing actual programs in a reasonably accessible programming language.

But if you ask, "How can I train to get a job working as a programmer in BigCo," I totally get that the answer should lean in, hard, on the practical and the currently marketable.
Air pollution seems unlikely as it's been falling for decades, and America has much lower levels than Europe. Microplastics are a perennial boogey man, and probably a genuine ecological issue, but there has no been mountains of studies done and documented health effects are virtually non-existent. Livestock and slaughterhouse conditions are certainly not good from an animal welfare perspective, but we've had similar practices for 100+ years and obesity wasn't a major issue in 1960. Pesticides in food products have been substantially reduced since the EPA changed guidelines in the 1990s, and yet obesity has exploded since then.

You might think the very rich have bad diets, but I guarantee you it's probably way better than the vast majority of people.

>We've gone quite far beyond never starving

I would counter you're incorrect, we're only 2 to 3 generations (maybe 4 now that I'm getting old) past never starving. On an evolutionary timescale this is nothing when talking about an impulse hundreds of millions of years old.

Our bodies never developed any means to prevent eating more than we needed other than "Oh $deity my belly hurts" and "Hmm, I better save some of this for tomorrow because food could run out then instead".
I had a similar issue. I was over the weight I wanted to be, but not amazingly so. Then I had a thyroid issue, and I lost a bunch of weight; down to my target weight. Then, once the thyroid issue was treated, my weight rebounded well past it's starting point. I'm still trying to lose the extra weight.
It's a bit curious Google isn't already doing this, given they have both unfettered access to a metric shit-ton of video material (through youtube), a lot of computational power, as well as a lot of expertise with regards to search.

I was part of a project that did exactly this - same monolithic code base with config flags that transformed it into web server, worker or scheduler. It allows scaling all parts separately, but I can confirm it's easy to introduce bugs if you're not careful. Since you're sharing the same DB, migrations also need to be backwards-compatible.

A cool side-effect is that you can usually run the whole thing in one app for development by just enabling all profiles - as opposed to some microservice architectures where you need dozens of containers and DBs for replicating inter-service bugs.
If you're seeing 500+ alerts then you have a different problem on your hands. Personally something as relatively infrequent as malware detection should absolutely not be swept under the rug.

> blood tests are evidence based

Sure, but only one bit of evidence.

For example, there's evidence that on a population level routine screening for prostate cancer may do more harm than good, because it frequently isn't lethal, and the resulting interventions (often for false positives) can have a negative impact themselves.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/when-prostate-tes...

> The American study found annual screening did not lower the chances of dying of prostate cancer.

> A recent Johns Hopkins University study found surprisingly high rates of hospitalization after prostate biopsies and a 12-fold greater risk of death in those who develop infections.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130929142622.h...

> "Yet in order to prevent one death from prostate cancer in the 1,000 men screened for PSA, the number of biopsies would double with 154 additional prostate biopsies, and, of 35 additional prostate cancers diagnosed, 12 additional cases of impotence and three additional cases of incontinence would occur. Thus, the harm from routine PSA testing can have a serious effect on the quality of life of patients and provides additional evidence against the use of organised screening for prostate cancer," he says.
There's a lot of discussion here, but I haven't seen anyone link this slide deck which (albeit a couple of years old) does a great job describing DSNY's efforts to electrify and some of their results with pilot programs: https://dsny.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/DSN...

A lot of the things being proposed as solutions by posters here are already being tried in the real world. They're not running long-distance routes to the dump, they use a network of transfer stations around the boroughs. They're using DC fast charging. They're exploring other hybrid options.

NYC isn't always great at avoiding its own special breed of "NYC exceptionalism", but in this case it sure looks like they're doing everything reasonably. The electric trucks are seemingly working well for garbage collection. They just can't take the whole fleet electric (yet) for double-duty as snow plows.
