The GLP-1 drugs should have a big impact for type II diabetes. Interestingly Fresenius, a massive dialysis provider, has taken a beating in terms of stock price with the GLP-1 data.

That said, diabetes is a long-term disease and it's going to take a decade or two to see a measurable difference.

I do not have Windows 98 anymore. But I still have Delphi 4 installed under Wine, so I just tried it out.

Using the sysutils unit though, puts it at over 40k. And with classes, it becomes 57k.
Not sure what they pull in. sysutils contains number/datetime parsing and formatting, and exception handling. classes has basic containers and object oriented file handling.

It's downvoted because it's low-key a personal attack and it's excessively dismissive. It shuts down conversation. Maybe the G*P literally meant lubrication and not just the subjective feeling I'm sure we all have had of movement easing further movement. The effect is real even if the explanation is not literally correct. Is the GP also going to scoff at calling alcohol a social lubricant?
I felt less compelled by the paper after reading " 1,119 " as the sample size - how the fin f they think that they can get to estimates like 1:11,080 with a sample size of 1,119 I do not know.

Going the other way: on the internets I read that there are 5 million CT scans in the UK every year. If there was a 1:10k rate of cancer from these we would see 500 fatal cancers a year. If there was a 1:600 risk then we would see 8300 cancers a year. There are 400k cases of cancer per year in the UK as it is. So, at the top end about 2% of cancer could be hypothesized as from CT scans based on these numbers however they were extracted kicking and screaming from the case notes.

There is an interesting twist on this though - the mortality of people who get CT scans is probably much higher than the mortality of people who don't as there is probably a reason why they are getting the scan. One reason I have seen for people to get a CT scan is that they have metastasizing cancer. If you have metastasizing cancer you are probably going to get radiotherapy. Now, radiotherapy doses are quite difficult to understand as there is a big difference in the way it gets absorbed and handled, but as a layperson I look at the numbers and think that radiotherapy doses seem much bigger than CT scan doses. But I don't even know how I would go about comparing them and controlling for them in the stats.

I personally would have to sit and think for a long time about how to sort the causal factors out in the stats around this, I think I would not be doing that on a sample of 1k people.

I think you’re wrong there. There are snow mobiles that do 0-100 in 1-3 seconds but they are all crazy special built machines like this.

4-6+ seconds is much more typical for a normal unit. Which is similar to normal-ish 200kW sports cars. A bit fast but not breath taking.
That's also a really good thing to be testing - both low performance and the lower resolution screens. There's a lot of old and cheap devices out there, and most developers will never use them.
With regard to your edit: take a look at the note at the end of the article you are quoting, where the author acknowledges being sloppy with respect to units. Here, he says anthropogenic climate change is heating up the Earth by 300 terawatt-hours per hour (which is, of course - and more simply stated as - a rate of 300 TW or 0.3 PW). Therefore, while it would be correct to say that this results in an extra 0.3 petawatt-hours every hour, this is not the same as nor justifies the statement "...0.3 petawatts of extra energy circulating in the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic changes...", which is incoherent.

As for "1 order of magnitude (out of 16!)", the "out of 16" is meaningless - the number 16 is merely a consequence of the arbitrary choice of unit size. Your original figure was simply off by a factor of ten, in any units.
There's strong parallels here with electrical schematics, circuit diagrams and other engineering drawings. There is no singular 'right' way to do it.

Just as with code, choosing good abstractions and methods of expression is what separates something from a grok-able idea to regrettable mess. It's not about beauty or aesthetics, it's a tool that requires some active thought and effort to design.
I refuse to use WYSIWYG interfaces to draw diagrams (looking at you confluence!). Mermaid.js (or really any graphing language) it is for me.
They're kinda illegal in Germany, actually. Based on a legal change in 2017, employers are prohibited from hiring temp workers[0] to take over work from striking employees. There are probably loopholes by having excess temp workers on staff at all times rather than hiring them specifically during a strike but this kind of redundancy is probably frowned upon by shareholders more than the lost productivity of a strike.

[0]: Specifically the law addresses "loan workers" but Germany has fairly strict laws surrounding so-called "independent contractors" in these roles: https://www.buzer.de/s1.htm?g=A%C3%9CG&a=11

No-one cares about the waste of resources though. A castle is a symbol of power. It's the combination of lots of big, bold ideas, lots of public speaking, giving money out, THEN buying a castle. People begin to worry that these people want to rule them.
The author does touch on this subject that it's time consuming to amend a diagram. And it absolutely is, if only there was a standardized schema that could be followed properly and then have the tools have an "auto format" option..

>But it only costs about $5,000 - $10,000 to produce this many QALYs through bog-standard effective altruist interventions, like buying mosquito nets for malarial regions in Africa. In a Philosophy 101 Thought Experiment sense, if you’re going to miss a lot of work recovering from your surgery, you might as well skip the surgery, do the work, and donate the extra money to Against Malaria Foundation instead.

>Obviously this kind of thing is why everyone hates effective altruists...

>It starts with wanting, just once, do a good thing that will make people like you more instead of less. It would be morally fraught to do this with money, since any money you spent on improving your self-image would be denied to the people in malarial regions of Africa who need it the most.

Wysiwyg is actually fine, but the underlying graphing language just doesn't seem to be standardized across multiple tools.

I personally find it far quicker to use the visual aid than learning a new syntax etc.
Maybe this tool already exists, but it occurs to me that architecture diagrams could be generated from, say, Terraform HCL files. They mightn't be perfect, but if it gets you 80% of the way there -- for final touch-ups with some vector editor or, perhaps, using in-band pragmata via comments -- that seems like a no-brainer.

I stand by literally everything I said, and would add that I expect another event, let's say half an order of magnitude more horrific, within five years.

Due to the nature of what chaos is, there's no telling where and when: could even come out of seemingly nowhere. But it's latent in what the situation is, and is the expression of what chaos means. And when the global system was that few degrees cooler, the upcoming event (or Otis) could not have happened.
Yeah guess that would require elite athleticism!

The way I understood this is they developed the concentric ring pattern first, build a prototype using standard copper etching, and showed that it worked. Then they showed they could achieve similar results by fabricating the same pattern using a laser and paper.

Microsoft’s acquisition changed Skype to centralize it through their servers (and introduce all sorts of call quality issues).

It’s less about focusing on tinfoil and more about how creating $ for cloud usage allowed for centralization and surveillance.

Depending on the vendor you might end up with drives that run custom firmware, which cannot be crossflashed, that might not even work at all in a non-OEM system, that might not be compatible with normal block storage use, that might not support stuff like power management etc. (and allegedly might have reset SMART logs)
Yes. And they'll be doing just that. They couldn't even be modeling this without modeling chaotic systems: their models are chaotic systems too. With another model, the Otis event MIGHT have appeared, or might have appeared one run in a hundred.

With their current modeling, the Otis event might have appeared in their model one in a thousand runs, or one in ten thousand, depending on if they're accurately capturing the energy state of the system. They might've discarded it if it came up, as a glitch.

When real life glitches you don't get to re-run the model for more optimistic results.
Yeah, the issue is too complex to summarize in a single post. Why that country was created, the influences that shaped it, the varying desires of its constituent parts, and what might have happened if the Warsaw Pact had continued to exist...

Another aspect, often forgotten nowadays, is that after World War II, communism was the defining characteristic of the ruling class. They were Serbs, Croats, Slovenians, but above all, they were communists. Over time, this was gradually replaced by thinly veiled nationalism. It's not coincidental that many of the politicians who emerged as party leaders, and later as state leaders, after the collapse of communism were, at some point, members of the communist party.
Another classic use case is that you can have expressions in the types of your function, for example this won't compile:

stringOrInt : (x : boolean) -> int -> (if x then String else int)
stringOrInt true x = toString x
stringOrInt false x = x + 1

1 + stringOrInt true 37 # this will error, because it knows you've not returned an int

The other example that you can do in depedently typed languages, but is too involved to write out here, is make a type-safe printf, where the format string produces the types for the other arguments.

You're reading it wrong. Of course riding the train won't drive people to drugs or mass murder.

Rather, drugs and the perceived threat of violent crime, as well as general unpleasantness, is what turns off people from embracing public transit. Build a brand new shiny transit system in the USA, and you'll still face the same problems without changing the culture or enforcement. Both will face massive public backslash - again, from many of the same people who are most pro-transit.

You're falling victim to the same mentality I mentioned earlier of handwaving away the perceived concerns people have.

I ride transit nearly ever day. Obviously I haven't been murdered or fallen victim to violence. But I commonly encounter individuals who I make sure I keep away from either because of threatening behavior or simple unpleasantness.
Saying that something has "Zero latency" because it's "on disk" is off-putting from a technical honesty perspective.

> On Twitter/X, the reality is that people get the kind of posts they tend to interact with. The "For You" page can be curated, however

I deleted my Twitter account late last year and created a new one that only follows a handful of local bars to keep track of their opening hours/upcoming events. I'm in Japan, all the bars only post in Japanese, my computer is set to Japanese. But when I check out the For You tab, after about 3 screenfuls of local stuff, it fades to U.S. brain-rot all in English and I stop scrolling and close the tab.

> But have you seen Facebook's feed lately?

I'm mostly on Facebook for family but also am I a handful of groups - retro tech groups, some car Youtuber groups. I see no politics or anything like that on Facebook so the feed curation there seems to work. There are a lot of really bad ads and just tons and tons of lowest-common-denominator "viral videos" like those 5 minute crafts and "look at this weird kid in china" type things so it's still not a pleasant experience.

> BTW, Mastodon is nice. But even without the algorithmic feed, people tend to gravitate toward drama and shallow subjects, such as politics and religion

Aside from people expressing exasperation about whatever the latest political tragedy is, and a lot of "trans rights" boosts, I see proportionately very little drama, politics and religion on Mastodon. Without the algorithm to reward virality from emotional posts like that, they just don't seem to get the reach they did on Twitter. Most of my Mastodon feed is technical stuff like people's pet projects, which always got buried and never surfaced properly on Twitter since it didn't trigger the algorithmic vitality.

> battery technology only needs to equal about 25-30% the raw energy density of fuel

"only" is doing a lot of work here, current lithium batteries are under 1 MJ/kg while good ol car gasoline is at 40+ MJ/kg

top fuel dragsters run nitromethane which is 4 times less energy dense than regular gas yet the go much faster so clearly there is much more going on than just energy density, like the fact that they have to entirely rebuild their engine every other day. I don't even think energy density is a big deal, it's more about how fast you can convert it into movement, and explosions are very good at that type of large scale conversion
> selling kidneys doesn't preclude us having the same thorough screening process we have now, although it means there may be people who try harder to game the screening process.

Nothing I have said really even touches on the topic that that safety could be impacted by people trying to game the screening process, though it is of course a legitimate concern.

> i just don't see kidney donation as being a significant enough harm to outweigh the harm of the recipient not getting the kidney.

I don't disagree that kidney donation is a net good. The question is what you do with that opinion. You could defend the idea of a "kidney draft", where some random selection of the population gets forced by the state to "donate" one of their kidneys; though I suspect a lot of the proponents of a free organ market would be uncomfortable with that idea, as would I. The difference is that I view financial coercion as just as much of a problem as state coercion.

> if we're worried about people being financially desperate, we should allow organs to be sold and build a stronger social safety net

I agree! If there was a social safety net which reliably kept people out of desperate poverty, I would be less worried about financial incentives.

The safety net needs to come first, however.
How are we managing our time?
This is a question that we should all ask ourselves regularly
But it's not always easy to know how to manage our time effectively. We have so many demands on our time from work, family, and social commitments. And it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle-bustle and forget to take a step back and think about how we're spending our time.
