When people's body stop producing testosterone on their own and they are forced to spend money on weekly injections for the rest of their life people will learn :) When you can't go anywhere or travel without your testosterone injections people will see how overkill it was to get on HRT. Hope these people are comfortable freezing their sperm. Now if you are over the age of 60-65 blast away

This is one big reason I love Pharo and other Smalltalk-language implementations. Being mostly written in themselves down to the VM. You can take a deep dive and inspect everything without being afraid of smashing your head against C bedrock underneath. And they still manage doing this while being reasonably performant and dynamic.

I'm kinda interested in SARMs which purportedly give the benefits of anabolic steroids without the very serious side-effects

There seems to be a massive grey market for peptide SARMs at least in the US
Commented this on the other thread.

Are data-oriented-programming and data-oriented-design the same thing?
There have been some research projects in this direction (computing fabrics, in-memory computation) but nothing that I'm aware of that made it to larger scale manufacturing.
Not a fail - a raging success of a manifesto that was largely ignored by the old guard and the results were, predictably, winner take all for those that saw it coming.

And by now the conversations have been corrupted because the old guard did eventually catch on and flooded the channels with shit.

That said, what does the valuation of a company have to do with its participation in an economy? The only implication to me is that some corporations are so valuable that there's no way they can be taken over by a hostile entity. Revenue is a more important indicator. Apple is big at $400 billion, but there are lots of other big companies.
Odds are you won't need to involve any judiciary institution, just lawyers. On that case, there's no case and no filling required.

If your country has a working small-cases court system, there are good odds you can achieve the same result without any lawyer involvement at all. But if you are discovering this from a random internet comment, you are almost certainly better talking with a lawyer about it anyway.
I picked up perl about 18 months ago and I never really found context hard to understand at all. Not trying to boast- just not really sure what people find hard about it.
Birth control pills contain Progesterone and Estrogen (well, actually Estradiol), so the figure is probably really high.
>The risks are generally low, but boosting to higher T levels does come with real health risks that should be met with regular testing with a doctor.

Most people don't have a clue. That includes doctors.

- the reference range has been adapted times and times again

- testosterone levels have been falling since industrial times

- for some strange and contrived reasons a lot of people think that the levels of a healthy 18-year old are "unhealthy" as soon as you pass 40. But you should ask yourself what makes it "unhealthy". And why a low level should be "healthy"

Instead of judging the 20 year olds who want to be at the upper range you should have a look at the side effects which come with the lower range. And then have a look at the general population and check for these side effects.
Living in FL (the home of TRT therapy) I’m blown away with what I see regularly at the gym.

Like RFK you will regularly (every day) see men in their 60s that have the muscle mass and definition of someone in their 20s. It’s still a lot of hard work, and I’m not calling it cheating, but it’s extremely obvious.

There’s a lot of talk of female beauty standards but looking at The Rock, Hugh Jackman, and countless others all the diet and training in the world cannot maintain that physique into their fifties. It’s ridiculous they do interviews and give the classic “broccoli and chicken” line. Personally I’m also skeptical younger actors are able to achieve physiques that are top tier for professional athletes naturally - and often do it in months between roles.

Even when they give details of their training (two a days for hours) that’s just not possible at that age without the tremendous improvements in recovery that performance enhancing drugs provide.
It’s not that hard to maintain
Used responsibly, testosterone supplementation has multiple upsides with relatively little downside, even for men who do not have naturally low T.

Unfortunately it looks like a few tik-tok kids are going to ruin it for everyone. Same as most good things in life I guess.
Yeah but more reasonable to compare it males in a certain age group.
I’m waiting for full self driving to arrive and enjoy a book while doing 200mph!
Simple: by offering you to host a marker on google maps or by even giving you an account, they are entering a contract with you/your corporate entity from which they can't just unilaterally exit without good reason. The legal basis is just the same as the various people on both ends of the political spectrum who filed for injunctions against Facebook/Meta and Twitter to have their accounts unbanned.

The question of course is if the jurisdiction of the person I replied to has the same idea about contract law but IIRC (and IANAL...) it should be harmonized across the EU - but heh, if the removal of the maps marker has led to a drastic decrease in traffic, a couple hundred euros for an actual lawyer should be more than worth it!

The key thing is, going via the court system or even "just" the legal department without involving the courts short-circuits the relatively powerless first-level support.

If you're interested in the finer details and a bit of ranting, read e.g. this post from lawyer Christian Saefken [1] - it's geared towards Twitter (and Facebook, which a friend of mine had success with just the same).

I think it depends. I tend to work more at home, because I feel some irrational guilt. I will start attending calls I would normally not be attending due to lack of time. I’m destrying my efficiency (also known as “padding”) out of guilt.

Hence “getting away with it” might be more difficult for some…

I have no idea how true this is, but the source of the claim seems to come from here:

https://github.com/rome/tools/discussions/4302

"But in short, the company Rome Tools ran out of funding, so the core team of last year are no longer working on the project."

Of course this also seems to be second-hand information, as there is an "Anyone feel free to correct me" disclaimer at the end of the message above.
In Smalltalk, calling a method is what the system does after a message is sent and the system looks up the receiver and its class hierarchy. This is a little different from C++ where the message dispatch is just vtable lookup by the calling code, because the system might have different behavior, such as changing the message to a #doesNotUnderstand: message.

However, in your question it is not much different because the default approach is synchronous. Yes, the calling process waits for the receiver to send a response. This has been one of the sticking points of remoting objects since the beginning, that you cannot treat the network as completely transparent. The options are the same as in other languages: promises, callbacks, forking a process, etc.

On the other hand, having a simple representation for network calls that the runtime can figure out for you automatically is pretty cool. You can ask Smalltalk to create proxies on the fly that act like the real thing but do the marshalling and network calls. The same was true for RMI in Java, which may have been based on Smalltalk and/or Modula-3. Comparing this to COM or CORBA, where the representation is defined externally, or to SOAP or some JSON api, where all bets are off, keeping everything in one system makes this stuff easy.
> I still see no real self driving cars, just highly assisted driving where a human always has to be prepared to take over in case something severe happens.

There's no human driver in the car. At most, the cars can stop/pull over and ask for remote navigation from humans (but not remote operation).
> That change is absolutely trivial to handle, and it will be a while before the behavior change. It doesn’t require a major version bump.

That change, however trivial to handle, is still a bloody breaking change and it still has to be handled, by the library users, at one point of time or another. And how do you notify your users that they need to handle something that's changed? That's right, you mention it in the RELEASE file, a major version bump is entirely superfluous. /s

This is why we can't have nice things: apparently there are library maintainers out there who just don't get it what semver is actually about.

I think there have been so many hyped up stuff in the tech world that it's trained a lot of people to point at everything and call it part of the hype cycle.

But this causes people to literally fail to notice that there are many things in tech that Aren't just hype. I mean literally think about it, the internet wasn't just hype, the smart phone wasn't just hype. There's millions of things that weren't just hype.

>I have heard ChatGPT described as a better autosuggest, which sounds about right. It's not that autosuggest isn't useful, it can be very useful, but it's not a thing that is going to change the world, and the jobs which it will automate are neither numerous, nor very well paid even now.

This is a poor characterization. chatGPT has the capability of answering extremely complex questions with novel answers that are completely indistinguishable from human answers. And remember much of these answers are novel, meaning that it wasn't just a copy of the answer out of nowhere.

There are of course huge problems with our ability to control chatGPT to give us the correct answers consistently but the fact that it can even do the above 50% of the time is a feat that moves the needle far beyond a mere "auto suggest". All you need to do is increase that 50% rate and suddenly it can auto suggest you out of an entire career. Cross your fingers and hope token prediction is just a technological dead end and that we can't really raise the correctness rate past 50%. In many instances of project development getting to 50% is often the hard part and getting to 100% could be easier.
Isn't this just saying some languages do things others do not?

There's absolutely no way a natural will lose all of their gains if they skip the gym for a month, unless you're doing short periods of going to the gym, then not going to the gym (say month on, month off), then at that point you're not really losing muscle, there was not much muscle to begin with, your muscle just became depleted instead, two other explanations could be either being seriously ill, or simply severely undereating for the period of that month to the point that your body cannibalizes itself.
>What do you think?

I am bored of ChatGPT, AI this, AI that. I scarcely talk about ChatGPT with my peers. While I am certainly interested by AI and even dabbled with it in my MSc years, I found it tiresome to only read about it.
There are people who take steroids and still don't do the other parts good enough and look normal.

But it's also genetic (I know taboo right). That some people can gain much easily and/or maintain muscle easily.

Or maybe you're doing drugs (alcohol), not sleeping right, not enough protein,etc.

Or a combination of these all.
Only tangential to the theme, but continuing your thought, in my experience the rewards for having a chiselled aesthetic comes more from men than women. It's a status marker amongst (some groups of) men. The heavily muscled male look is more of a male fantasy than female.

>The idea of inserting an entity id into a “published” table, instead of setting a boolean “published” field to true, doesn’t always come naturally. Yet once you realise how readily polymorphic this is, you may start wanting to use such approaches to data for everything.

Wow thank you for this, it's a heuristic I didn't think about but is really powerful.

I need to think through some of the implications, cause I think there are some risks to this approach - namely co-mingling production and non-production data in the same infra. That means that there are data at rest and in transport that are following the same data pathways but have different production criticality. It puts a lot of risk on the filter working perfectly, rather than not even being available on the same infra.

Just spitballing:

Is the ostensible "prod_live_bool" flag manually set? If not then a bug in any automation would certainly cause a nasty data exposure issue

Are you doing column level security tokens? Wouldn't that need some kind of intra-table RBAC? In other words, it seems like if you want any RBAC within your table, then you have to bring it with you every time from the beginning because you have no idea what level of data sensitivity you'll have eventually, and refactoring an increasingly expanding table to inherit RBAC later ---- omg I can't even think of the amount of work that would be. O(n^2) level of manual work??

Does it lead to a canonical "live or not" lookup table/dict at scale?

I think the data security risks would prevent me from using this design pattern for critical applications in MOST cases, but I do love some of the patterns here and will be exploring this in the future for sure!

This was very helpful this winter while Lufthansa’s ground handling was in full meltdown mode. On three separate occasions Lufthansa failed to get my luggage to its final destination on time so I was able to get reimbursed for replacement clothes and toiletries while Lufthansa tracked down my bags.

GPT4 just wrote a python script for me that downloaded a star catalogue, created a fish eye camera model, and then calculated the position of the camera relative to the stars by back propagating the camera position and camera parameters to match the star positions.

It's less than 2% of all adult males. I would guess that the peak age group for anabolic steroid use is ages 30-40 (that is, end-of-youth crisis not the youngest) but I'd be interested to know for sure.

Edit: government data says I am wrong. 25-29, apparently. But that's based on self-reporting so I do wonder.
There's a reason why most of the former web3 scammers now have "AI inventor" or "ChatGPT expert" in their profile tagline.

They gonna ruin even this technology with their hype marketing bullshit.

The issue I have with all the hype is not the technology itself, it will stay in one form or the other as a better interface for generalized instruction communications, but rather the scams and frauds that come with it.

Empty marketing promises where everybody advanced enough realizes that it cannot be true, and as a concept GPT is just throwing more averaged neurons to the problem instead of training more specialized expert transformers for multiple knowledge categories. Anybody remember IBM watson?

Why I always say that I don't do AI work is because people tend to think that sensorics (and neural nets that reduce a min/max problem space) already is AI. And I think it isn't. AI is where the bayesian approach is the bare minimum to deal with strategical decision making processes.

If your project doesn't actually need anything more complex than basic JS, html and css, you don't need those layers of complexity: you can create a new package.json based project and be productive in 5 minutes.

However, if you are thrown into an existing projects that does have all of these things, it's usually because they're actually necessary.
The claim of "trickle down" was that giving money to rich people, specifically, would somehow have the same effect as making the average household better off.

It turns out that rich people buy things that don't employ many people, and they buy them from other rich people: high-priced art works, famous jewellery, and other collectibles, existing mansions or apartments at exclusive addresses, and so on. So the prices of those things go up, but no-one else has any more money.
I'm not sure you can put this on women - since not only can men can be into men, but women can take steroids (and of course be into both men and women). Plus it's not necessarily the case that people use these steroids to become more attractive to a prospective partner - while I don't take anything like this I do work out, play sports and run - and this is more for my person health and satisfaction than to make myself attractive to anyone else.

I think the broader point being made was that there's a lot of modern-day backlash from certain groups against a specific type of "gender affirming care" - and that it's worth remembering that such care is already relatively commonplace even if you may not think of it that way currently.
It would be interesting to understand why the body is lowering it, might also be the body adopting to certain conditions. Could be that artificially boosting it, goes against something the body is trying to regulate. Or it could just be a side-effect of body in decline.
Maybe they just don't skip the gym?

For a lot of people the gym is a relaxing "third place"[1] that they truly are sad to miss for a period of time.

I'm sure some percentage are augmenting, but it is surprising how common it to see people on social media declaring that people with the slightest bit of definition or muscles as steroid users.

This is a great comment for its unintentional humor.
This is of interest to me as I saw an Endocrinologist last Monday as I had a blood test a few weeks ago and my testosterone level was "quite low" at 257 (bottom of the range being 249).

Anything under 300 along with symptoms (of which I have several hence the blood test in the first place) means further investigation so I am now waiting for the results of a whole host of blood tests that I did last Tuesday that the Endocrinologist ordered. 9 vials! Never had so much blood taken in one go.

I am 39 and never really gave any thought to my testosterone levels if I am honest. But I have been suffering from a whole host of weird issues the past ~3 years. However I am not sure if TRT is something I want to do if it comes back that they are indeed low and it wasn't just a one-off in the first test.

At least it isn't something I want to try first, I will see what other things I can do naturally such as diet changes before I head down the TRT injections, gels, etc. route.

For what it's worth I am in [redacted] not the US and I've never known anyone on TRT. Honestly I had never even heard of it outside of sports with people that [ab]use such things.

Ariane 5 rocket makes its final flight as Europe faces a launcher “crisis”
I don't care much about young users but I've always wondered why the body stops producing adequate amounts of it as we age. Is it because you're too old to have viable offspring by then (with few exceptions) so there are no selective pressures to maintain testosterone levels? If so, do the benefits of TRT far out weigh the risks at old age?
