How about different hormones which drives hunger and outside of your conscious control, because you have a genetic predisposition to produce more of those?

As someone from the same timeframe you're missing a number of things that have happened.

Safety/pollution laws have made small cheap cars non-existent. You cannot buy anything like those 2004/2005 cars on the market today, the cheapest featureless models have mostly disappeared.

Seemingly while building the digital world that we both live in, you are missing the ramifications of the monster you created. Before the digital days I bought and sold a number of underpriced items effectively doing difficult in person arbitrage. If I wa willing to find things like cars cheap, I could make money buying them and selling them to/at dealers for more. You and I have effectively destroyed that market. Sellers of those items now can effectively make far more by understanding how much their car is worth and selling it direct to market. And, in the cases where the seller is underpriced, digital buyers monitoring the market quickly and efficiently buy up these underpriced items. This is true true for almost any investment item, there is really far more money than good investments these days which leads a huge portion of investment to be pure luck.

Depends on how you link rust, using PyO3 makes it arguably easier to do link python code to rust than any C construction I could think off.
Linking a single C file into python is quite difficult (if not using JIT like cppyy) because you need to make bindings & conversion often on both sides for each exported function.
What matters is an AI's ability to do things that human combatants cannot, and that which human opponents cannot effectively counter.

As you refer to videogame AI, think back to the Berkeley Overmind, a Starcraft 1 Zerg AI that beat seasoned humans by the simple expedient of being able to shuffle around mutalisks [0] in such a way that no human micromanagement could efficiently kill any. The only realistic way to defeat the Berkeley Overmind, as I recall the decade-old coverage, was to attack the AI's base before it could build the tech necessary to spawn mutalisks.

[0] Mutalisks are a Zerg air unit whose attack bounces from enemy to enemy. Like all Zerg units, it regenerates health gradually, so the AI's chief tactic of moving even slightly damaged units to the back of the battlegroup allowed surprising compounding benefits.

TaxGPT is our last hope.
So in short, politicians instead of receiving input from lobbyists, receive verbatim draft legislation proposals and get to play 'who's gonna pay me more to choose which one I'm going with'?

They then use the money they receive from these lobbyists to lie to the people regarding what their job actually entails and self promote themselves as serving their community and country?

Oh and they get to play in the stock market with insider knowledge with impunity to further enrich themselves and get a path to become a lobbyist and get paid millions afterwards?

What point are you trying to make - that there is a convoluted game of politics they engage in to enrich themselves, rather than the simplified bag of money exchanging hands?

If so, you're describing a distinction without a difference as far as I can tell.
"If not, then am I being obtuse by suggesting these things are absolutely within an adults control?"

Things such as "feelings of hunger" don't sit neatly on a binary scale of "under control - not under control".

I had some alcoholics in my family. Fortunately, I do not have any cravings for alcohol at all. But if they had the same cravings for alcohol that I have for, say, reading interesting stuff on the Internet, I cannot blame them for being "weak-willed". Only my addiction is more benign than theirs and doesn't ruin my life.

Obesity may be a similar problem of addictive nature. Humanity is a diverse lot and it is entirely possible that you, toolz, might find modern processed food bland and boring, and thus it feels to you that regulating its consumption is simply a "control thing", while it can trigger serious and hard-to-fight cravings in other people, especially when they really cannot "go dry forever" (this stuff is everywhere and cheap; imagine trying to become permanently sober in a country where hard liquor is served in every convenience store or even in schools, and very cheaply, no questions asked).

If you weren't in their shoes, don't judge them or play obtuse. Addictions aren't a moral problem of "the weak ones".

Sadly, hunger response isn't strictly proportional to caloric intake, but to a multitude of factors (blood sugar levels, stomach content, thyroidal hormones). So you might feel hungry while not requiring the extra calories. It's also why gastric bypass works.

It's relatively easy for 200 extra calories a day to sneak-in someone's diet without them really noticing. Over time it adds-up. But it's totally under one's control (provided they understand basic nutrition).
> Which, perhaps coincidentally, gets at what's been a major question in American cities for quite a while now: what are we going to do about how hard it's become to build affordable housing to help people escape rent feudalism?

As I see it, there is not any lack of housing in Western society. There are a ton of unused or underutilized housing and a on the other side a ton of employed people who are denied access because of hyper inflation in real estate prices.

In the past the elder generation would pass on their real estate to their offspring when they were making families. Then there was a period in the 20th century with high wages, were people could buy property with their wages, so that tradition stopped. Today it is not realistic for a working person to buy property without the life long debt, and that is according to plan.

Thanks for taking up the maintenance of Tippecanoe! I haven't needed to use it too much, but when I have, it fills a nice void.
This really tugs at my heart.

Now obviously I am a gruff, cynical sysadmin/devop/SRE/$next. However, I have soft toys from my childhood that I cannot bear to part with.

My children also have their toys, which at least one of them loves dearly.

However, for my toys, I do worry about what will happen to them when I am dead. Will someone love them as much as me? will they cherish them and look after them? or will they rot, and be destroyed alone?

_obviously_ I am projecting. But its something that has eaten at me.
>Why does anyone spend money on Advertising? To manipulate behavior.

... Or to make people simply aware of your existence

Me : You look thirsty, would you like a glass of water.

You : It seems like you're manipulating me.

The above is the reducto ad absurdum lens you seem to be applying to advertising. Awareness of information is not the same thing as agent coercion. Does the ladder exist you bet. But the proportion of advertising that falls into the former dwarfs the ladder.

The self organizing aspect has to do with business models for sustaining infrastructure, it's not emergent fact of the web it self.

One's model of reality should be complete. Calorie-in-calorie-out only captures a very small part of reality.

1. Humans are conscious beings, and deciding to change your weight is a conscious decision, and one that requires constant mental effort over months to achieve.

2. If you are trying to lose/gain weight, your body actively tries to sabotage you via releasing hormones that act like drugs for your brain to acquire food/stop eating. This happens every day, constantly for months on end, that you have to fight it 24/7.

3. Its well documented that humans have a finite amount of mental concentration/decision making per day after which the brain acts more and more on autopilot. Sure, you can increase this amount, but this requires its own training.

4. Humans have jobs and social obligations to family and friends, that consume much of the finite concentration. Every so often, you will mess up and eat too much/too little.

5. Sometimes, those around you will actively sabotage your efforts.

6. Every failure can be a power emotional demotivator, which makes it harder to stick to your goal.

So, no, the amount of real world control that a human exerts on their eating habits is far less than 100%.
Utilitarian cynism at its best.

The humanitarian approach is to save that one live AND improve the other 100 as well. We can afford to do so, because those expensive cases are rare.

Having a low set point means you have to endure more dramatic deficits to continue to lose weight sure but the basic math in calories remains the same. The remaining problems are psychological.
Another confounding factor is that people who compete to win games of money tend to also compete to win games of attractiveness. The skills to push yourself for financial gains seem to cross over to the skills to control eating and push fitness regimes.

I think the big difference is that BJJ is meant to be used against a resisting opponent, while gymnastics is not.

You can get really good at kata by, well, doing kata, but that doesn't mean you're going to be able to employ your knife-hand block when someone's trying to punch you in the face. That drill lacks an important aspect of the actual practice.

On the other hand, if you can pull off an armbar against a guy that's really good at defending armbars, you can almost certainly pull one on a drunk guy in the Kroger's parking lot.

Gymnastics doesn't have that dynamic variable. The drill and the skill are largely the same, or the drill is at least a component of a larger skill. There's huge transfer between the two.
Isn’t this more a question of how long the carbon is “sequestered” before it mostly biodegrades?

> It is physically impossible to gain organic mass if you don't consume a calorie surplus.

Infinitely, sure, but within finite bounds, no, since muscle has lower energy content than fat, it is, in fact, possible to convert the latter to the former gaining mass without a calorie surplus.

OTOH, that’s not the real problem with CICO, the real problem with CICO isn't that it, or even simplified variations like “you can't gain organic mass on a calorie surplus” are wrong (though some of the latter are), or even that, in the relevant sense, calories out is hard to determine (and calories in may be too, if you count losses between mouth and digestion as reduction of “in” instead of increases in “out”), it’s that they aren’t, even if the quantities were certain, usefully actionable because they do not address the problems people in the real world have, which is why there are so many techniques aimed at observations regarding habit-building, satiety, etc., because the actual problem is compliance, not thermodynamic knowledge.
This shows a lack of understanding for what others may be experiencing. Let me explain how it is for me. When I pass near the chocolate or bakery aisle it calls to me like a siren. It’s very difficult to resist. The only method that works for me is to abstain completely. 2-3 weeks of abstinence silences the siren call of sugar.

That might seem weird, I’m talking about sugary treats like an alcoholic describing liquor. Curiously, I feel almost nothing for alcohol. I can take it or leave it.

Hopefully it helps you understand. For what it’s worth, your comment sounds exceedingly smug. That probably wasn’t your intention, just giving you a heads up.
In the US, medical insurers are not allowed to deny coverage for chronic or genetic conditions due to the Genetic information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) and the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Obamacare). Some treatments may require proof of medical necessity, or require that providers and patients try lower cost options first (step therapy).

Rules for life insurers are different and in some circumstances they may deny coverage.
I share the skepticism, but I will admit that I can see it benefiting some people. I just know myself enough to know that I probably would not be consistent enough to keep it updated.

Calories are virtually irrelevant.

Based on the calorie surplus/deficit model, someone who eats 9,000+ "calories" a day should always gain weight at a constant rate. This doesn't happen, not even with most obese people. Where food ultimately ends up is largely determined by hormones. Eat noting but fat and you create a situation where weight may even be lost because fat doesn't elicit a release of insulin in the same way that pure glucose does with the equivalent number of "calories." Feed one person 85% of their TDEE in high fructose corn syrup, feed another equivalent person 400% of their TDEE in meat and butter, and you will likely get a result that entirely contradicts calories as a valid measurement of human health status. Better yet, eat fat and sugar at the same time and see what happens.

> Is it common for people to be force-fed as an adult? If not, then am I being obtuse by suggesting these things are absolutely within an adults control?

I agree 100% that people have control over their bodies, but only so much as an alcoholic has enough will to take control and change their habit contrary to what their nervous system is screaming at them to do. A person who is overweight, suffering mental trauma, and is experiencing systemic inflammation, and has had a habit of abusing their body most of their lives, is going to have a challenging time convincing themselves to go through some temporary pain.

People are responsible for themselves, but the reality is we are imperfect beings who are products of our environment, and the ailments we suffer can't be boiled down to simple arithmetic around a unit of measurement like calories. If the environment didn't support people becoming obese and ill in general, there wouldn't be many obese people if at all. The individual is not the only source of blame. Anyone who has attempted to lose significant weight knows that society, by good generally good intention, effectively gets in the way of bettering one's health. Being able to go out with friends and have the will to say no to the beer and the pizza takes a lot of effort and learning that goes unappreciated by those who haven't tried to change their lives in this way.
I just cannot imagine investing this amount of effort into managing my life's details. I feel an energy drain just reading it. But, maybe much younger people think this is how to live a good life.

More simply: I'm pretty sick of productivity porn, and the empty promises it makes.

> Should I mock alcoholics because I'm able to drink responsibly? Mock drug addicts? Gambling addicts?

One thing advocating for addicts has taught me is that a significant portion of the population answers these questions with "yes." You will see it also on any HN comment section that comes up against addiction. Addiction is highly moralized and shame, ostracism, and punishment are considered acceptable responses.

I think it's worth keeping that in mind when extending the same language and social norms out to other conditions as well. It's certainly not universal but "shame and punish them" is a normalized response to addiction, and so some people will also want to (continue to) respond to this in the same way.
One word: incentives. Something that makes people do things they would otherwise not do. If you believe that incentives can work, you have to admit that sometimes even otherwise healthy people may not be in control of their weight.

Sometimes those incentives turn into outright addictions. It's easy to say that people can overcome their addictions by sheer willpower. But if you believe that you can learn something about the world by observing it (as opposed to using pure reason), it seems plausible that many people don't have such willpower.

And sometimes obesity is a symptom of a disease.
I'll add to this a general take I have about "improving" the world: there is a metric ton of stuff to do in the world, and there aren't enough people to do it, and being the best at what you do is in no way necessary if your goal is to be useful or to produce meaningful things that make people's lives better.

There are so many problems in the world that aren't solved literally because nobody has solved them, because the scope is gigantic and the people available who want to work on them or who are willing to work on them is very small in comparison.

Many of those tasks aren't sexy, and they might not have broad appeal, but... I mean, I ported another person's gameboy emulator to a format that worked in NodeJS and had basically one API change so that you could run the project headlessly without a graphics stack, and so you could advance the emulator frame-by-frame after inspecting memory. It's a garbage project, I have no idea how emulators work. And yet, I've had people contact me on Discord and ask questions about it and go through support chats and thank me for building it.

Was I the best suited person to do that? No. Could pretty much anyone at all with any experience build a better end result then I did? Yes. Heck, it would be trivial for someone to jump in, fork my project and improve it. And yet. The very specific niche case I coded it for didn't have a solution, and then it did have a solution.

Sometimes that's enough. People underestimate how easy it is to be useful and to make the world better in small ways. It does not require you to perfect a skill, it just requires showing up and putting in some work and doing the best work that you can. And sometimes it means not asking "what's the biggest impact problem in the world", and instead asking "what's any problem that's close enough to me to solve that nobody is paying attention to?"
