Sigh. Misinformation abounds. Ozempic is a lower dose (0.5/1/2 mg) of semaglutide weekly injection for type-2 diabetes ONLY. IT'S NOT FOR WEIGHT LOSS but it may happen as a beneficial side-effect. Wegovy IS a higher dose (1.7/2.4 mg) semaglutide weekly injection for weight loss due to life-threatening or health-impacting obesity. Rybelsus (7mg) is the oral form of Ozempic, also for type-2 diabetes but not for morbid obesity. There is a 50 mg oral formulation for obesity that has been approved but not yet been released by Novo Nordisk.

There is overt and systematic discrimination in the US against treating morbid obesity. Just one example: Medicare refuses to cover Wegovy, even if it's due to the side-effects of another medication you need to survive.

Currently, they’re like Dory from Finding Nemo: long and short term memory but they forget everything after each conversation.

The character of Dory is jarring and bizarre precisely because of this trait! Her mind is obviously broken in a disturbing way. AIs give me the same feeling. Like talking to an animatronic robot at a theme park or an NPC in a computer game.

I straight up do not care a about plastic use at all anymore.

Specifically: provided the plastic is going to well-managed landfill, and not being washed into the oceans or waterways, then really, what is the problem? Once in landfill it's CO2 which won't end up in the atmosphere, or water, or really doing much of anything while it just sits there.

And every bit of it is oil production which won't be burned.

It may carry downstream license obligations of its own, that prohibit/complicate public release.

Relatedly, they might be hoping that one of the people looking at it might be willing to buy out or take over contractual responsibility for any components that can't be relicensed to traditional open source. Basically, parading the source around like a debutante because other channels to find buyers haven't panned out.

Or it's just real-world commercial code and is kind of embarassing by the standards of public open source projects.
Wow, for me Winamp was one of the first "enshittified" pieces of software.

I remember one version was fantastic, and then the next version sucked. I'm pretty sure this was due to a change in ownership or something

I remember I used to use http://oldversion.com [1] to download the previous one

Ever since then I have been wary of "improvements" that make software worse, which has been happening a lot recently.

I'd be really interested in seeing the source code to the original. I didn't know much about programming then, and to me that would be similar to reading the original source code of Doom (which I've done a bit)

How close are we to the laser from short circuit?
Yes, people changing their minds is not uncommon.

The law in my country is that the final decision has to be made by the patient itself, shortly before the euthanasia (no advance directives), and while mentally fit.

The mental fitness has to be confirmed by the personal physician, and in reality, they will also take into account whether the decision has been maintained consistently, over a longer period of time before the onset of serious dementia, and if so, they might relax mental fitness criteria somewhat.

Relatives don't enter the picture (as opposed to withdrawing of life support).

It makes no difference at all. But whatever set of statistics you use has to represent the same period. We could use daily deaths from flu, or decadal deaths from flu, or forthnightly deaths from flu .. as long as the total deaths we're comparing with cover the same period.

But you're not signing EULA's in order to participate in the network. Moreover, there are no real "laws / regulations" within the network either, specifying what you are or are not allowed to do. Ethereum standards merely determine how the software is supposed to work, but even then I'm sure Ethereum devs would oppose treating their docs as an agreement (because they don't offer any warranty, licensing or attestation). Moreover, there is an express goal to have a diverse set of software clients, so even developing your own software to be interoperable with existing standards can't be constructed as "an attack".

All this to say, I just fail to say how this can be constructed as "changing the terms of the transaction". There was no legal agreement between parties and no existing precedent to treat this as a malicious attack at all.

All I see is a Wall Street establishment pulling strings in order to protect their investment, by asking for a sudden government oversight in the system that was built with the express goal of not requiring any government oversight.

Sure. Some ideas:

Prices will go up. They will split out basic features into 'premium' models. They will no longer sell cheaper models entirely. They will find some way to shoehorn a subscription service since that's what every investor wants now. RPI Os will be littered with 'partnerships' and they'll find a way to make it difficult or unpleasant to use anything else to avoid them. They'll rush to do yearly releases instead of focusing on quality and support. I wouldn't be surprised if they break their guarantee to keep manufacturing products until a certain date.

Mobility to deployment, then defended asset which in turn offers perimeter defence against unmanned subsonic directed or non ballistic weapons. (I'm guessing supersonic and ballistic bring different problems)

> My 80v electric blower with a heavy battery runs for 21 minutes. A gas blower with 1.5 gallons of fuel will last 10 hours.

I found backbpack models (and if we're comparing professional services that's what seems we should compare) that claim 60 minuntes on high at 800cfm+ and 20 hours on low, with dual charger systems you can buy to supplement.

I saw numbers quoting that most professional leaf blowers go through about 0.43 gallons of fuel an hour. The top backpack blowers I looked up didn't even have a 1.5 gallon tank. The Echo PB-9010T has a 83.8 fl. oz. tank. The Stihl BR 800 C-E Magnum has a 67.6 oz. tank. The SCHRÖDER SR-9900X 80cc has a tank size of 75 oz.

If you have to stop to refuel every hour or so anyway, swapping out a battery that's been charging doesn't seem like a big inconvenience.

> A ban on gas blowers - or blowing in general - will only harm minorities already underpaid, often under the table.

I'm not sure we should be avoiding legislation meant to protect the public in general (air and noise pollution) because of possible affects to some specific subcategory (leaf blowing) of an industry (landscaping) which happens to employ minorities in a higher percentage than other industries. If we were to always do that, then we'd rarely ever have any useful public protections, would we?

How many professional leaf blowers per capita do you think we have, anyway, and if it costs more for everyone since it's regulated, why would the impact really be that great, since it should just mean they charge more?
It says “can” and op said “if”. Is not one else seeing how these posts are pandering?
> I remember one version was fantastic, and then the next version sucked. I'm pretty sure this was due to a change in ownership or something

Winamp 3 was a major regression that sparked a backlash (in particular it had a new skin engine that probably was a priori better, but broke compatibility all existing skins, which wasn't popular; also performance, which had been a major selling point, was worse), but I don't remember there being any change of ownership or monetization effort. I think it was just a genuine well-intentioned rewrite that ended up worse than the original, like Netscape 4 or KDE4.

Likely some inter-state commerce clause that gets used to bring many things under the purview of the feds. It may be more appropriate to ask how it was supposed to not be under the rule of law?

> these were transactions submitted to a blockchain created for the sole purpose of not being controlled by the government

Simply creating a blockchain with that intent in mind seems to be no more effective than a sovereign citizen ranting to a LEO that they are 'traveling by conveyance' in their car and thus not subject to traffic laws.

And to your point, albeit with a more frivolous example, wind power has been subject to tests for aesthetic satisfaction that never have to be passed with such regularity by, say, telephone wires, roads or sidewalks, other forms of electricity infrastructure, big box stores, oil and gas infrastructure, gas stations, etc.

In some cases if you even ask the question you might be dismissed as a crank because, well, roads and sidewalks can crumble and fall into disrepair, but obviously we're not going to just get rid of sidewalks and roads. There's kind of an unspoken and shared understanding that the necessity of those forms of infrastructure trumps aesthetic concerns.

Status quo extremism might be summed up by the demand that new things have to pass novel and specific tests that would never be applied to the status quo.
There's plenty of talented developers out there that are currently working in another language, but could relatively quickly learn the required Rust skills to go work on such a project. Domain knowledge (codecs, video/audio processing, etc) is probably a bigger problem.

This is nuts!

Instead buy 120-volt and 240-volt leaf blowers. BTW 2-3 horsepower is plenty (probably too much) for one man.

We use water hoses w/o bitching too much. We could used corded leafblowers tomorrow. Or butch up, get rakes and get in shape: cleaner air, more exercise and longer hours for the lawn laborers.

Yeah, 1 - 1.5% seems inline with most data. That is: about 1.5% of all deaths are deaths from flu.

However, deaths among those infected by flu are much, much smaller than this (because the number infected is much, much bigger than the total number of deaths)

GGP here. I think you’re both right. As a formerly involved contributor I can assure you that there are legitimately hard problems, and that there are very bright people working on it.

However, the reason why it’s so hard, is imo because Rust matured itself so quickly, by basically having a bunch of 10x mega brains lay a foundation of insufficient but unchangeable features and then leave a lot of details to be solved later when (a) there are much more people and stakeholders involved and (b) there are much more promises made around governance, stability etc. And, as it turns out, laying the “remaining pieces of the puzzle” is harder, especially if you’re not allowed to move the initial pieces.

This in turn creates an incongruence for outside observers, where it appears like development is slower (which is true) because people are incompetent/lazy/prioritize badly (which is not true).

The mistake here, in my humble opinion, is moving ahead so quickly many years ago. Async is the perfect example of this, but as I alluded to earlier, I think allowing leaks was a similarly rushed decision, and that was much earlier. If I were to bet, people were excited about maturing the language for production, but, since there was sooo much uncharted territory, there were novel subtle challenges which during the frenzy appeared like they could be solved quickly with brainpower alone to meet the deadlines and keep the excitement going. But even the wrinkliest of brains can’t deduce the implications of 4th order effects down the line - you have to try it out and build real life things. You have to be humble, when everyone else isn’t.
This has been discussed here several times already, but basically, the more capable hardware affords "sloppier" (or more abstracted) programming.

This is why even simple applications now require inane amounts of CPU cycles and/or RAM and/or disk storage for basic functions (looking at you, Spotify). The memory wall doesn't help either.

But we also get more correct, complex and cross-platform applications. So not all is bad, I guess.

Depending on the hardware/software you use YMMV, of course... But yeah, unfortunately can't stop upgrading my systems yet.
JavaScript is very well designed for backwards compatibility. Many of these examples are showing off old features that were intentionally changed in order to make more sense next to the new features that replaced them. But presenting both next to each other and highlighting a difference in behavior makes the language look inconsistent.
