You can get these wholesale from China from "reputable" gray-market wholesalers who get the chemicals made at contract manufacturing facilities. BYO QA/QC though, as with all non-FDA drugs. That's the huge catch, and it sucks for consumers. Testing just for active ingredient is >$100 and takes about a month. Testing for proper buffering agents, harmful contaminants, microbial contamination, etc is essentially unavailable at all.

Semaglutide is very, very cheap in the gray market. It's somewhat less effective than Tirzepatide and has slightly more side effects if you ramp up the dosage too quickly.

If an annual amount is purchased on the gray market, this brings the monthly cost down to:

- Semaglutide: $10/month

- Tirzepatide: $60/month

- Liraglutide: $87/month

- LY3437943: I have not yet seen this available, but it looks like distributors are notifying manufacturers of latent demand and are working to build up a supply chain.

Note that in the USA, it is legal to import certain amounts of FDA-approved drugs if you have a prescription for them. However, just because something is the exact same chemical as an FDA-approved drug does not make it an FDA-approved drug. It must be manufactured in an FDA certified facility and be the same brand/manufacturer/packaging/labeling/etc as the approved drug.

e.g. importing generic Sildenafil/Viagra is legal if you can find the Teva(tm) brand generic sildenafil in, say, Mexico or Canada for a better price. But it must be the pills manufactured by Teva in the appropriate facility with NDC #0093-5342-56[0].

If you import generic sildenafil "Cenforce" from the (very legitimate but not FDA-approved) Indian pharmaceutical manufacturer "Centurion Laboratories"...

...that would still be potentially criminal smuggling. Even if the pills you import show via laboratory test that they precisely match your medical prescription, they are not "FDA approved" and therefore not legal to import.

A lot of people do though!

Does it do regex search? I so often need to do a foo|bar in a page.

It seems people are using QR codes for this.

Not so much billboards (given you’re usually driving by) but other outdoor signage and TV ads. Frankly it’s much more meaningful to know when someone takes an affirmative action than looks at something. To do the latter is pretty easy with the right shocking signage.

It's a great question. I don't really have a horse in this race as long as whatever wins is maximally ergonomic. I think as long as the DSL is Turing complete such that you could "compute" on tensor shapes then we win. That said, it's very easy to build a type system that isn't so flexible (see most other languages) so I think it'd have to likely be a focus of the DSL from the get go.
Ideally you would run a suite of various benchmarks and workloads and pass judgment on the overall results, rather than basing it on just one specific test or another. They're all going to be biased one way or another.

You also didn't answer my question: Would you likewise advise against Cinebench if the colors were reversed? As it is, you're advising against Cinebench just because it favors Intel.

Your points don't match how the VB6 editor presented the settings or behaved. You seem to think it was some pure WYSIWYG interface, which it wasn't. You could parametrically (in the properties window) and programmatically do whatever you wanted.

> instead of knowing that it's in the bottom right because that's what you specified.

You did specify the anchors, in the properties window. If you wanted, you could easily verify you had everything correct by resizing the window.

> And now your carefully set window size has changed

If you thought that exact size was important, then you would just have it set to that special size at startup, by setting the "width" and "height" property of the window, or whatever other thing.

> because "git diff" isn't going to be much use.

> I prefer writing a specification (e.g. source code)

You could define the whole interface programmatically, if you wanted, and many did. Sometimes, there was some hybrid, where you would draw up the main window, then throw programatic stuff in a frame/whatever container, because sometimes that makes sense.

The purpose of all of this was to make things easy and take less time. In some, going the programmatic route is a great way to increase billable hours, sometimes it a great way to decrease them. Sticking with one method over the other doesn't make sense to me, because that would be an emotional decision rather than a practical/efficiency one, right tool for the right GUI/window/dialog box, and all.
Comments here so far seem to be missing Newport's key point (in the second half of the article)...

For many modern (knowledge work) jobs, it's volume of tasks, not duration, that seems to induce burnout.

For instance, if you have 1 central task for the week--say, write a report--but there are ten subtasks (hold 5 meetings to prepare, read 3 background papers, ...), and then each of those have a bunch of subtasks (Slack each 5 meeting attendees 10 times to coordinate and schedule, get interrupted when reading each paper so have to resume X times each) ... this 1 central task can easily be dozens or hundreds of subtasks.

And then each coworker is doing the same thing, adding tasks to your load (you have to read their messages, respond to their emails, etc) in a multiplicative way. Newport calls it the "Hive Mind" in one of his books. The number of total tasks, from very small to very large, each individual has to accomplish in a week ends up far far greater than expected on the surface. And adding to that, they come in in an unpredictable way.

All this adds up to burnout, not just the number of hours. It's the intensity, and the unpredictability.

I've experienced this myself. I was at one of the FAANGs, constantly bombarded with new tasks, and felt burnt out. Now, I'm at a startup--very much inspired by Cal Newport, and using AI and context awareness to make teams operate together more effectively (see bio)--and I'm working far more hours per week than before, but with less interruptions and less distraction, I'm able to focus and feel far less burnout despite the increased hours.

All this to say, we really need to rethink how we work, not just how much.
I'm not sure I got your meaning here but comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35999719 are definitely on the flamebait side and therefore against the guidelines. If you could post more substantively and thoughtfully, without snark or swipes, we'd be grateful.

Legally in some states some doctors are mandated to bring up weight loss to sufficiently fat patients. But also, fat loss isn’t covered by insurance generally unless it’s paired with an existing health condition. So fat people who don’t have health problems don’t get help to lose weight but get all the shame. :)

There is no "human element" lol. That's the point. That's how you know the argument has no ground. People resort to "human element" when they have nothing to actually say. and because "human element" has no meaning, the goal posts for it just keeps getting moved further and further. apparently now we're at "make the godfather".
Ok! I was referring to something totally different - there was a period a couple of years ago when triple parens were used as an anti-semitic trope on the internet. I'm glad I was careful to put the word "assuming" in my GP comment because scolding people for something they didn't actually do really sucks.

Still, other readers would make the same assumption so it's best to avoid that notation in HN comments in the future.

In the same vein, adding the prefix "neural-" to any useless snake oil to make it sound more important than it is. The marketing people at my company are guilty of this.
I agree!

I do think if you cut ALL meetings, you may miss out on some important relationship building stuff that is helpful when necessary conflict arises. Formalizing business requirement gathering may help reduce conflict, which is great, but you inevitably will have some.

That said, I don’t think meetings are a good way to build relationships or trust, and there are more efficient and enjoyable ways to do that!

If in person, at least go for a walk, get some food together, talk about hobbies, etc. Give some freedom to “waste time” just getting to know people, especially if the relationships will come in handy later! If you kill unnecessary meetings, you should have plenty of time for this!

People need down time to de-stress, and to recharge, but meetings are not the way.
The CLI could use some love for sure. I think the migrations experience is also where I’ve felt the most pain. I will say, the CLI very heavily assumes that you are using the cloud product as the remote, which I guess is absolutely intentional (it’s a path to get users onto the product) but it was kind of annoying to figure that out halfway into a POC like I did. Don’t go in expecting you can point the CLI at some self hosted remote. It’s not possible without forking, making significant changes and rebuilding the CLI, at least at the time I was doing this a few months ago.
As an extra bit of help, use the '-layout' option to give you a formatted text document that's laid out the same way as the original .pdf document:

pdftotext -layout my_file.pdf

will produce 'my_file.txt',

Note also that the .pdf must contain TEXT as such. An IMAGE of text will not work as expected with 'pdftotext'.
You don't have to use the xml format if you don't want to. Not sure why you wouldn't want to, since the xsd enables autocompletion in your IDE which makes it the most practical format of all.

It really depends on the state you start in... where I live, it costs $50 to start an LLC. That price hasn't changed in over 10 years.

As far as cost of living.. rents and food have gone up. Going out to a restaurant has changed. Renting a bigger apartment or even a house has gone up. But if you're a smart shopper, saver, and spender, you can save money in the long run.

For example:

1. Drive throughout your entire town and take note of the cheapest gas prices. You'd be better off paying $65 for a Costco/Sam's Club card and going there for gas, saving you an average of at least $0.50 or more per gallon of gas.

2. Renting. You'll want to rent with year leases because that'll give you the most savings as leases lock you into fixed prices.

3. Food. Again, a Costco or Sam's Club card and buying in bulk is likely to save you more money in the long run. Going to the supermarket several times a month and noting the sales is going to also save you money. If you see that eggs are $4 or $8, this is not the time to buy them. Find another place. I've gone to off brand supermarkets and paid $2 for a dozen eggs. Look for sales and discounts. If you are a meat eater, note the expiration dates and try to head to the supermarket a few days before you know those are going to expire.

In fact, visit the supermarket daily without any intention to spend. Go in and look for meat on sale. I've gotten packages of ribs, pork, and steak for less than $5. Also, in the long run, it's a good investment to buy a 5-gallon jug and get one of those water coolers. Walmart and other stores charge about $1.50 to refill those. With a family of 3 or 4, who you should be teaching to drink water more often, that should last about a week.

Software costs... lots of free software nowadays. Find it. And as for hardware costs...yeah, that's certainly gone up a bit, though if you're talking about computer hardware renting costs, those haven't changed at all except there is better technology offered. For example, Vultr, DigitalOcean, and Linode still offer a $5/month server. I am still on Vultr's $6 server which is their high CPU server and good enough for my websites. If you use another program like RunCloud, you can put a dozen or two web applications on those without issues and the pricing ain't bad.. comes to about $80 on the year plan for unlimited web apps.

There are a lot of ways to beat the cost of living and inflation to an extent though it all depends on what your spouse and family is also willing to accept. As a single person, it's a lot easier to go without.

Windows exposes APIs for "windows hello" - which is an easy way for apps to authenticate via usb authenticators or windows' built-in authenticator (when available via TPM). I imagine that, on macOS, such an API would allow apps to authenticate using any passkeys in iCloud Keychain directly, of course with an OS-based user presence requirement like entering system password or using touch ID.

It was a figure pulled out of my ass. I've never earned half that, and these days I'm eating ramen because I am not accepting the status of modern society and trying to spend all my time and mental energy to find a third way. Hence this rant.

I am not prescribing anything to anybody. It is just sad that criticising the status quo is seen as proof of privilege. It is ungrateful of me to entertain the idea that life can be much more, as I have at times enjoyed the fruits of our modern society... Seems like a convenient ad hominem.

As a counter-counter-point I've read most (~90%) of the papers that come out of trials registered at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ for all GLP-1 agonists, including ones that haven't been approved. The vast, vast, vast majority of secondary outcomes, for things like

- blood pressure

- lipids (HDL, LDL)

- insulin sensitivity

- blood glucose

- strokes

- cardiovascular events + deaths

- myocardial infarctions

- hemoglobin A1C,

- revascularization,

- etc, etc, etc

are literally all affected positively (to the benefit of the imaginary "mean" patient) in bulk.

Note though, that doesn't mean 100% of patients are have positive results, just that each of these are, in bulk, positive across the tested subjects when averaged together. There's little in the data to suggest that cases like your family member aren't happening or couldn't happen.

There's also evidence that GLP-1 agonists increase the rate of glucose use in the brain, accelerating learning rates. (The brain accounts for 2% of body weight but up to 25% of glucose consumption, it really is fueled by glucose)

> Because a test that doesn't test "what happens when the enemy knows the weaknesses" is not a test.

Sure it is, if the opponent can't deploy effective counter-measures.

It doesn't matter if a protected drone is possible what matters is whether or not the opponent is capable of actually deploying protected drones. In a cat-and-mouse game all that is important is having an advantage for some period of time. It's not necessary to have the advantage persist indefinitely.

See: Russia's military being battered by very old technology every day in Ukraine, where in many cases counter-measures are well known but unavailable.

> It's really bad design to require a car driver to be distracted just to perform normal operations.

And to fix that, they started pushing even more computers into cars so that people don’t have to pay attention. All this self-driving fad is there to cover up the big fuck up of pushing more and more distracting stuff into cars.

There are sone really cool things in modern cars: speed limiter is awesome when driving in the city, active cruise control is awesome in heavy traffic. Lane keeping assistant annoys me but I guess it helps some, collision avoidance more often annoys me than helps because of false positives. Every time it comes on it just freaks me out because it does something I didn’t expect. I mean, who’s driving the car: me or the manufacturer? And it doesn’t even work properly. It didn’t save that poor cyclist from hitting the side of my car… on the other hand, if one doesn’t know what the mirror is for, they may find it useful.

I never thought I would say that but think I wouldn’t mind the speed limiter automatically engaging in the city. Under two conditions: that I can override it, and that the speed limit recognition is top notch.

All other stuff with level 2 and 3 is plain dangerous. We’re teaching people to not pay attention behind the wheel just to throw the driver under the bus when the computer doesn’t know what to do anymore. The problem with that approach is that the driver doesn’t have a mental model of what’s around them.

An example of the last point is the new idea from BMW. To initiate an overtake when in self-driving mode, look in the side mirror. I have no idea who’s the genius behind that but what a great way to teach people not to check their mirrors. I don’t know how others drive but I’m glancing in side mirrors quite often just to know what’s going on around.
I grew up loving GTI's. Last year I finally had the money to buy one and was in the market for a new car. I couldn't bring myself to buy a GTI because it was just full of touch screens and piano black. VW was unusual in just how far it went. I'm sure they got lots of feedback and data to show that they made a mistake. I'm just curious how they decided to lean this heavily into touch screens (and piano black). Maybe they just desperately needed to save money after Dieselgate and hoped consumer preferences would change over time?
The only metric that matters for most typists is familiarity. That's why Qwerty has dominated for over 150 years.

But I'm pretty sure my typing needs as a programmer in 2023 are different from the typing needs of a telegraph transcriber in 1879.

I've been a Dvorak typist for 15 years. I can tell you, without reservation, that Dvorak is a better fit for my work. Dvorak is smooth and comfortable. I can stay in the zone for longer stretches of time.

Nonetheless, Qwerty's killer feature is that it's familiar. Historically familiar. That's enough to keep Qwerty on top.

My theory is that most people don't actually want to get anything done, they just want to hang out. Meetings is how you just hang out.

They want to just hang out at work because work is a very convenient and structured social apparatus with very well defined rules, boundaries, and hierarchies -- in a world where such things are becoming more and more rare.
I'm not sure if that's correct. While Nintendo does make some profit selling the Switch console, it's not much, and they make most of their money by selling their own games and charging fees to third-party developers. But I don't know the exact amounts, so this may be wrong.
