No, actually it will make it worse since obesity generally lowers lifetime healthcare spending. This is counterintuitive but we barely spend anything on anyone who’s not a senior, so anything that helps people live longer generally results in higher costs. Dying of heart failure at 50 is comparably cheap to lingering for 10 years in assisted living and bouncing in and out of a hospital for 3 years before the end.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2225430/

This is broadly confirmed across a number of studies, a study of European healthcare found lifetime spending increases too.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37222003/

What’s even worse is that from a financial sense, private insurance generally covers the deaths earlier in life, while ozempic (or any other anti-obesity drug) will push a lot more of that spending onto the federal Medicare budget in the long term.

Ozempic is apocalyptic for the Medicare and social security budgets, even if it were free (and Medicare doesn’t cover anyone who’s not a senior anyway). Any drug that broadly extents life would be - we would be equally affected by a free pill that gave everyone another 2 years of life, too. We budgeted based on X number of fat people paying in, but never receiving benefits (via life-expectancy actuarial tables), if you extend life then the payout increases.
It matters when you have lots of short-lived processes.

Fair enough. Common examples in storage and transmission. Not so common in computing for now. The closest obvious computing example, to my mind, is analog neural net blocks meant to be integrated in digital (binary) systems. Not ternary, old school (hah!) analog.
... is that a good example? I think people who use the dating apps today mostly hate them, and find that they have misaligned incentives and/or encourage poor behavior.

Same, I'm using Tauri for few toy projects and I'd like to know whether this is worth checking out. I love Tauri but Rust has a very steep learning curve for me (as a mainly frontend web developer), for basically everything I want to do I have to resort to Claude/ChatGPT. Fortunately they're quite good at writing (not so complex) Rust code.
I was thinking about the commit mask thing recently but imagining it as a part of Git, or an extension.The project I'm on at the moment is a big legacy codebase that requires a bunch of dev-only code changes for:

- functionality (setting API urls; forcing certain screens to appear; overriding config values that come back from an XHR)

- quality of life (skipping delays; turning sounds off)

It would be great to be able to toggle and mix and match these patches locally without risking committing them. A combination of stashes and branches kind of works, but the ergonomics isn't great, especially when there are conflicts.

To put a finer point on this, the capitalistic enterprises that many are very excited about and believe will solve problems via the invisible hand, may not not pursue basic research because you can't demonstrate potential profit in it to an investor.

But of course basic research, including all of its false starts, failures, and irrelevant discoveries, are precisely what lays the groundwork for the for-profit enterprises that come later.

Open source LeetCode stile machine learning questions
Within each form of suffering endured by man, and at the same time at the basis of the whole world of suffering, there inevitably arises the question: why? It is a question about the cause, the reason, and equally, about the purpose of suffering, and, in brief, a question about its meaning. Not only does it accompany human suffering, but it seems even to determine its human content, what makes suffering precisely human suffering.

It is obvious that pain, especially physical pain, is widespread in the animal world. But only the suffering human being knows that he is suffering and wonders why; and he suffers in a humanly speaking still deeper way if he does not find a satisfactory answer. This is a difficult question, just as is a question closely akin to it, the question of evil. Why does evil exist? Why is there evil in the world? When we put the question in this way, we are always, at least to a certain extent, asking a question about suffering too.

Re. native part -- I recently explored JavaFX for desktop, and found it's actually very fast, both to run and to develop in. I'd say it's a joy to use, don't understand why market now prefers other heavy-weight solutions like Electron. Maybe it was released at a wrong time, when Sun Microsystems had troubles? Maybe it was too early? Or maybe a ton of software is being written in it without fanfares, I dunno.

The whole binding stuff is neat, feels like a predecessor to Reactive Streams (which is itself is already standardized in Java under java.util.concurrent).
The pricing info is confusing and maybe inaccurate(?)

It says:

Up to 500 emails / month
100 tests emails/month | 50 emails/day
100 test emails/day
50 emails/day

That's a bunch of conflicting info. I'm not sure what the actual limits are.

It also says "Remove watermark" in the free tier, but "No watermark" in the paid tier... what's the difference between those? Seems like you can have no watermark in either tier?

Finally, do you use dedicated IP addresses for sending? If so, how do you keep your IP reputation clean? What if a spammer signs up and sends thousands of spam emails - will my email sends also be affected because we share the same IP?

> The N-back task is useful because the degree of difficulty can be systematically varied. It requires a fairly naturalistic combination of memory and attention. This is to say it is a good test of our ability to think hard:

That's not what I would consider thinking hard. Usually that would be building up a large mental model of many things and complex relationships, then think about different ways to re-structure it and/or imagine mutating data passing through such a structure.

That experiment setup is something I would not enjoy, and may just take the zap as the task itself is meaningless.

A better experiment would be something that rewards thinking hard--something like a card deck-builder game that can be won for bragging rights.

(though to be fair, the part of the diseases mentioned that are due to metabolic disease - read: obesity - can be treated early in their course by just losing weight - diabetes and hypertension due to obesity will go away once you drop the weight.

A modern, standardized API would negate vendor lock in. And it wouldn't have to replace SMTP, it could simply be an alternative option.

There is no reason that sending an email can't be done with a simple, single API call. The back and forth "dance" that SMTP requires is just an absurd waste of time. There may have been a good reason for it at some point but today, it's hard to imagine what that was.

> At least the Right/Republicans seem more content to just call me an American and leave me alone.

I am honestly happy that you get that treatment.

A lot of other minorities don't. The left didn't just decide to play identity politics out of nowhere. They did it because this country has a long history of racism - people alive today experienced life before the Civil Rights act. And the racists who had to be told by law to cut it out didn't just stop being racist because a law was passed, just like how laws against murder don't stop murder from occurring. The racists just found other ways to be racist, and many of the underlying issues have persisted. People on the left are still fighting that fight. And their identity does matter, because it's the very thing that is being used against them.

I imagine if you were an immigrant from Mexico, accused of stealing jobs, running drugs, or being a leech on the system - or any other of the (and I quote Trump here) "shithole countries" that the right hates - you might feel differently. You are lucky that, right now, Japan is not on that list.

> Also, it's such a fucking stupid thing to not be friendly with each other just because of political differences.

Again, it's not just "political differences". They demonize minorities to the point of violence, and two of my friends have been assaulted because of it. It's not theoretical tax policy, it's dehumanization, in rhetoric and in actual laws they hope to pass. Not wanting to be around people who want to engage in violence against my friends is not unreasonable. This isn't theoretical, and my friends have scars to prove it.

This assumption might be wrong, but it's my understanding that Metallica, GnR, and other hard rock/metal bands, while successful, are aging with their audience, which is mean by being generational.

You might be romanticizing the past. The old desktop world was full of custom toolkits --- remember how Word would style itself with Windows.next controls even when running downlevel? Remember Athena and Motif? Even today, we're split between Qt/Gtk. The mobile world is only slightly better. (Flutter.) We've never really had consistent appearance or behavior.

So, I just don't get the Electron hate. It's just another GUI toolkit. That it's based on web stuff inside is an implementation detail. Electron wasn't the first GUI toolkit and it won't be the last. IME, speed, memory use, and so on are all adequate.

My only real gripe is that it's cumbersome to theme the things and that you have to jump through a million hoops to inject your own JS as a user. .(GTK4 is also trending theme-hostile though, so this gripe isn't specific to Electron.)

It'd also be nice to use web technologies with a language other than JavaScript. I'm sure the WASM people will come up with adequate multi-language interop eventually.

> they usually have little authority regarding business decisions.

Sorry I didn't fully explain my thought. I agree with this. I don't think it's just developers that have a "developers vs business" mindset. The C-suite does also. In most companies, they look at the engineering org as a tool to be used and not as a partner in the business. The result being negligent behavior toward things like security.
That's pretty great to know, thanks.

Sure, that makes sense, and is a go-to pattern for my own projects. But to map this onto FP, making classes Configurable feels like OO version of currying.

Considering how frequently I hear, “government blocks <service> in country”, now I am wondering- does the US have similar kill switches pre-configured at all ISPs? The operational complexity and coordination seems intense, so not something you want to do ad hoc. How granular would the restrictions be? All undersea cable communications? Certain domains?

Maybe there are actual explosives wired to key network infrastructure if the government wants to make absolutely certain things are down.

(I used to be able to say “X” as a generic placeholder instead of “<service>”, but Musk ruined that for me)
Calling 3900 “very old” is stretching it, but they’re certainly “old”.

A feed for everything and everything in a feed
So I watched that video and I found it really weirdly argued so I went to try and figure out who that guy is and what his past beliefs are and his latest video is him being drunk and “dickriding” (his words) the whole daily wire crew and he’s apparently obsessing over their videos and movies.

So it’s unfortunate but it’s doesn’t seem to be the moderate take he sets it out to be, which I think really gets at something about this election, which is like it’s not about the issues, it’s really about vibes, and for some people a very real desperation

But more than that I think it’s interesting that in 2016 there was this real come to Jesus moment for liberals in acknowledging that Trump really spoke to portion of the country that liberals really wanted to take credit in speaking for.

But now? I think Trump has become the establishment he disrupted so many years ago. And it’s crazy how he went from the independent guy to someone really who seems controlled by billionaires. And the sad thing is, be it age or whatever he doesn’t seem to have the messaging and enthusiasm he did back then.

Which is in a way a disservice to the people who are counting on him.

But I think people are clinging to Trump in a sense just the only icon pf conservatism you can right now. Even if in so many ways he’s not really conservative. And of course his MAGA supporters in many ways actually hate Republicans more than liberals do. This is the fundamental problem with the two party system. What are you supposed to do if you have deeply held conservative beliefs? Give them up and vote democrat? I almost feel sorry for the people voting Trump now as he seems to have given up the fight.

I’ve also been watching a bunch of Reagan debates and speeches recently and it’s sad what a turn conservative leadership has made in 40 years.

Other countries violating rights doesn't mean those rights don't exist. I speak of natural rights and not legal rights for this reason.

And not that I have not denied the negative consequences of vigilantism for society as a whole. Those consequences are the reason governments are supposed to seek justice in a more orderly and accountable manner. It is when governments renege on that responsibility that they bare the blame for the consequences, as people seek justice on their own (because they know justice is their right and will seek it themselves if nobody else will for them. This innate understanding of being entitled to justice is the proof that a natural right to justice does exist.)
faré the guy who briefly took over asdf development before quitting common lisp entirely to do scheme, or whatever he's doing right now, spent significant amount of time turning asdf from a 10kb file into 3000kb file in order to solve problems that only he himself cared about, or possibly only google cared about because faré worked for google at the time (building portability library that ignored and force-superseded existing solutions, and trying to eliminate corners cases of SAT solving). there was a period where he was harrassing (this is a subjective interpretation of the events, but this is my side) implementors to incorporate his recent asdf changes, that were breaking left and right to the point that multiple common lisp maintainers of multiple common lisps were considering pulling asdf from their repos entirely. things have stabilized, because faré quit and there's no longer volatility. we're at a point where there's just no concensus about relying on asdf for anything, and while some people go all in on 30% of available functionality (as opposed to customary 5%), equally many people, the majority, use it as a glorified (load)(load)(load). this is an unfortunate side effect of activist developers in small communities: they can have outsized long term effect on how things are done.
