Disclaimer: I'm biased of course -- I run a site that's all about the positive and negative effects of GLP1, but I'm of the opinion that they're positive over-all in the absence of comprehensive nutrition/foodstuff regulation.

The negative side effect of gastroparesis is definitely present, but it's not quite as extreme as you're suggesting here.

A lot of the recent scholarship trying to figure out how GLP1 drugs actually work is more focused on GLP1 receptors in the brain as well. Good write up on it over at the Atlantic:

You are misunderstanding the engineering language in a term-of-art way.

1 in 500 year storm is a one-year probability of 1/500, based on now.

There is no implied or expected future change that needs to be considered. That's already baked into selecting the design-storm-interval of 1 in 500 vs 1/250 or whatever else.

A 1 in 1000 year event need not be, and likely won't be, the same/valid probability in the year 3024. Or even 2074. And that's OK. The engineers know that.

I use it all the time for my QEMU VMs. It’s less hassle than OVS and allows you to configure some complex networks with just a few socket files and tunnels.

I use one VDE switch per network with each network having a single tap interface to my OS bridges. It has been a feature of QEMU since 0.15 and the performance is just as good as taps or OVS.

It would be much easier to develop talent in an org if your employees were not allowed to leave on a whim, and you have a lot of availability of unpleasant "grunt" work that can be assigned, that people are not allowed to refuse.
> Not long after asserting that no right to privacy exists in common law, and while campaigning to be the Democratic nominee for president, Parker told the Associated Press: “I reserve the right to put my hand in my pockets and assume comfortable attitudes without being everlastingly afraid that I shall be snapped by some fellow with a camera.” Roberson publicly took him to task over his hypocrisy, writing “I take this opportunity to remind you that you have no such right.” She was correct then, and she still would be today. The question of whether anyone has the right to be free from exposure and its many humiliations lingers, intensified but unresolved.

It's pretty much resolved. There's no right to privacy in public. I'm always surprised at the number of people who think it's illegal to photograph or film them without their permission while in pubic spaces. There are youtubers who make their living capturing people on camera who freak out and call the police on the photographer, and it usually ends with the police explaining that people have every right to take photos/video of what's going on around them in public. When it doesn't go that way and the police interfere with the photographer the youtuber can get some large payouts from the taxpayers for the violation of his/her rights.

Personally, I'm glad the right to photograph and record in public exists. It's given us some pretty cool insight into the life of people who died long before us (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXRnGwbrnOo) and it allows citizen journalists to capture abuses of power, mistreatment by public officials, violations of our rights by police, etc.

I feel for people who don't like the idea that they can be recorded everywhere they go, but the truth is, all of us are already recorded everywhere we go. It doesn't make much sense to stand directly under a CCTV/surveillance camera and yell at person recording on a cell phone, but it happens all the time. If only people applied that level of outrage to the rest of the constant surveillance around us we might have better protections against the worst invasions of our privacy.

I wouldn't blame the customer. If you put a pile of meth all over the food in a cage for a rat, its not like its the rats fault for becoming an addict or that they have any choice in the matter not to consume that meth. And if the rats start demanding meth are you going to point to the rats and blame them for being addicted or are you going to wise up and realize its inevitable given the setup?

To put it more simply in the words of Henry Ford, you can buy a car in "any color the customer wants, as long as its black." You don't get choice in the market place.

> it doesn't benefit me to have tourists come to my city

Not sure where you live, but generally tourists allow for a greater amount of restaurants, bars and cultural institutions than the same size city without much tourism. Not to mention hotels! Those things are employers and tax payers which helps the local economy. Often they are in core areas subject to business improvement area (BIA) levies that pay for public events and public art.

In short: tourists can be annoying but they generally are positive.

Gaza and economics, while important, have zero to do with this, and are at best a lame attempt at deflection.

Describing me as someone who is angry and needs therapy is simply attacking the messenger instead of engaging with the argument. We both have a chance to learn from this exchange.

Whether or not Lenna is bothered by this is not, to me, the issue. What is the issue? We are a field where women are underrepresented and often feel unwelcome. This kind of content and the history behind it only reinforce that. They also sends a terrible message to men that this is appropriate in technical discussions. We can make different choices that are more inclusive at zero cost. Why would we continue to tolerate this? Let’s call it out and do better.
They’re the same thing:

A type theory has a corresponding geometric interpretation, per topos theory. And this is bidirectional, since there’s an equivalence.

A geometric model of language will correspond to some effective type theory encoded in that language.

So LLMs are essentially learning an implicit “internal language” they’re reasoning in — based on their training data of our language and ways of reasoning.

Climate. Models aren't really specific enough to predict a new 500 year storm in a specific location.

Those thresholds and definitions are based on the data record, and already encoded into regulation and a 100 years of construction.

What we see instead is Regulators simply increasing the requirements from a X year storm to a 2X year storm, and leaving the definitions. This is what I have seen with the California building code

I think you're talking about cramming an entire family into one larger hotel room vs. renting an entire apartment/house, right? The thing is if you need two or more rooms, then renting an entire house/apartment often becomes substantially cheaper (I just checked for Sydney, Australia, and it's the case there), you get much more common space, and also the ability to cook/wash clothes.

There are some caveats - the hotel has daily maid service, but most people don't need a maid to clean their room on a daily basis. The AirBnB one time cleaning fees make it so that the longer you stay in the AirBnB, the cheaper the cost of the stay is on a per-day basis.
The real problem I have with the "X-hundred year Y" things is that it leads even technical and mathematically inclined people to get confused, let alone people who are neither. It makes it sound like it happens on a schedule, or that it is not common / a minuscule risk.

A "100 year flood" implies there's a 1-.99^30 or a 26% chance of happening over the life of a mortgage.

I always feel like if it were phrased in that way people would grasp the concept better. Same idea holds for any X and Y.
Now I want to know how those people fit in a distribution. It could still be a continuous function.

At the same time "highly secure" is significantly underselling it. One time pads (if properly implemented) are information-theoretically secure. Even if you solve P=NP your one time pad will not be cracked. It is safe against an adversary with both infinite time and infinite compute.

That type of security comes at a cost.
The media (or more accurately, the local public due to real fear caused by numerous killings) may have further exaggerated on what was happening in former province of Gévaudan, but there was definitely something unusual (i'm not saying paranormal, just unusual, as in outside of average) going on there, just from the number of recorded deaths by supposed animal attacks. We'll probably never know what happened exactly or how much was public hysteria, and how many extra deaths were either by some atypical animal behavior, or a human killer taking advantage of superstition to kill other human beings, essentially, as a serial killer.
I hope we never work together. 95% accurate will cause problems that you won’t notice when you inevitably get lazy.

One simple and effective way to use generative AI is to integrate it into your existing applications. By doing this, you can solve real-life problems instead of imaginary ones.
For example, consider writing a script to use it in Google Sheets for tasks such as completion, translation, or even data extraction using natural language. In less than 15 minutes, I completed it and recorded a video to demonstrate its utility in real-life professional settings.
This straightforward approach not only leverages generative AI without any fuss, but it can also significantly enhance your productivity.

This kinda misses my point. By having poor defaults in the past, marketing claims at-odds with reality, and being repeatedly found to have bugs that reduce consistency, the result is that customer have no reason to trust current claims.

They may have fixed everything, but the only way to know that is to use it and see (because the issue was trusting marketing/docs/promises), and why should people put that time in when they've repeatedly got it wrong, especially when there are options that are just better now.
> Obviously as a society we should avoid releasing heavy metals into the environment, regulators should be vigilant about egregious levels of contamination in products (e.g. lead paint on toys), but as consumers I really don't think there's much point in worrying about it.

The catch here is that we know, as in we absolutely know that a non trivial number of manufacturers will definitely without question knowingly and happily release heavy metals and other dangerous substances into the environment and their products if it they get no pushback. The pushback comes directly from consumers actively worrying about it.

I definitely agree (if your implication is) that we should not have to worry. I can think of an almost unlimited number of ways our energy could be better spent. But the sad reality is a non trivial number of companies will not do it in their own. We’ve seen this time and time again. Companies as a whole do not self regulate. I think most people here used to hope and argue industries would, but we know with certainty they don’t.

Covestro, a German company, already has a signed contract and made advance payments to receive the equivalent of up to 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen (GH2) per year commencing 2025.

A kilogramme of hydrogen - the unit most often used – has an energy value of about 33.3 kWh.[1] So a tonne of hydrogen delivers about 33 MWh and a million tonnes about 33 terawatt hours (TWh). To provide a sense of scale, the UK uses about 300 TWh of electricity a year.

It takes a good while to build out the physical infrastructure to deliver green hydrogen equivilants:

Green hydrogen is made from renewable energy, producing zero pollution – its only by-product is steam. FFI’s ambition is to grow its green hydrogen production to 15 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030, accelerating to 50 million tonnes per year in the next decade thereafter.

The fact that per-capita potato consumption was so much higher in 1950 tracks with what I've observed from german-american areas in the US. I lived in wisconsin for a bit and grew up as/around a lot of German-Americans, and we consumed way more potatoes than seems typical compared to eg San Franciscans. Potato salad, potato pancakes, potato soup, potato dumplings, german fried potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes (the latter two not being exclusively german but much more consumed), potatoes au gratin/scalloped potatoes +/- ham (I guess has some French origin as well).

Also notable is that a lot of dishes that seem popular in Germany when I went aren't very common in the US in german-american areas as far as I can tell. Spaetzle is basically just a novelty, and I never see schnitzel per-se, but we do have equivalents like chicken-fried steak. We also basically never use the German name for anything except sauerkraut, bratwurst, and strudels, which to my understanding is because the US heavily de-germanized in WW1.

Locking doesn't result in deadlocks, assuming that it's implemented properly.

If you know the set of locks ahead of time, just sort them by address and take them, which will always succeed with no deadlocks.

If the set of locks isn't known, then assign each transaction an increasing ID.

When trying to take a lock that is taken, then if the lock owner has higher ID signal it to terminate and retry after waiting for this transaction to terminate, and sleep waiting for it to release the lock.

Otherwise if it has lower ID abort the transaction, wait for the conflicting transaction to finish and then retry the transaction.

This guarantees that all transactions will terminate as long as each would terminate in isolation and that a transaction will retry at most once for each preceding running transaction.

It's also possible to detect deadlocks by keeping track of which thread every thread is waiting for and signaling the either the highest transaction ID in the cycle or the one the lowest ID is waiting for to abort, wait for ID it was waiting for terminate and retry.
