Not in the way you're implying. I should mention that I'm in a clinical trial for CagriSema (and it's a head-to-head efficacy trial against tirzepatide, so not blind, with no placebo, but randomized), so I am speaking from experience.

It works in a few ways, but the vast majority of the benefit is just from delayed gastric emptying (food sticks around in you longer) which makes you feel fuller, and it helps remove hunger in general. If you're not careful, you'll find yourself simply not eating, so you have to be careful - that's a lot of why it leads to nausea. People don't eat, don't hydrate, and they get sick. Turns out that happens with or without the drug; not eating and not drinking will make you nauseous.

If you have a bag of french fries, you will find yourself sick because you overdid it. It doesn't make them taste any less good. You just learn about portion control somewhat through force, because when you screw it up you feel ill.

The other thing it does is remove the "food noise" so many of us simply exist with. I didn't know this was a thing, but it is - I grew up very impoverished, and we didn't always have food. I am also genetically predisposed to retaining more weight than necessary. Looking back now, I was constantly seeking a next snack or a next meal, almost before I finished my previous one, subconsciously. My days were split, in my head, into mealtimes and the times between mealtimes, which were usually snacking time. But between the habit, the ADHD, and the predisposition to always be thinking about it, it was an impossible habit to break.

I didn't realize this until talking to my wife, who doesn't have this problem. She also didn't used to think every food tasted incredible. Just some. Meanwhile, there was almost nothing I ate that didn't taste fantastic, in my brain. That has also adjusted to be more "normal," but historically whenever my mom has stopped, that adjustment didn't revert. It would appear to have been stable, as it helps your brain and body simply figure out it isn't starving all the time.

It's kind of hard to explain, so I hope that made sense.
It maximises, but slightly smaller than full maximisation, which is driving me crazy. Eg there's a 30px or so gap, and if you double tap the chrome it fills the remaining space.
Do you think it's really a training set problem? I don't think you learn to say that you don't understand by observing people say it, you learn to say it by being introspective about how much you have actually comprehended, understanding when your thinking is going in multiple conflicting directions and you don't know which is correct, etc.

Kids learn to express confusion and uncertainty in an environment where their parents are always very confident of everything.

Overall though, I agree that this is the biggest issue right now in the AI space; instead of being able to cut itself off, the system just rambles and hallucinates and makes stuff up out of whole cloth.
>GraalVM is far from a canonical JavaScript implementation; engines like V8, JavaScriptCore, and SpiderMonkey hold that role.

>you must dig into the documentation to find its support.

Okay but it’s in the documentation which ruins your whole “abandonment” argument.

Even still, they clearly have their own use of JavaScript, albeit not “canonical”, whatever the author meant by that bitter refutal.

Obesity isn't a temporary problem, practically every weight loss solution fails at 2-5 year outlooks. If this drug has to be taken for decades it's still better than decades of obesity.
That's great! But I guarantee you there is a discernible change in behavior to them.
I never said any of this is bad. I said it is completely unnecessary. Those are different. I also said the blind reliance on that unnecessary stuff is foolish. Like you said it is all about convenience, which is exceedingly shallow and faulty.

> They specifically add expressiveness

Not really. Expressiveness is the ability to achieve the same end state in different ways. How do you then determine that? You have to count the different ways a given thing is achieved. Under the abstraction if its doing the same thing in the same way as something else then its not really different, and thus not expressive. That is why these large SPA frameworks have wildly different super large APIs, but their output is strikingly similar, which isn't expressive at all. Really, with these tools none of that matters, because its really just about the perceptions of convenience.
Yes but if it is running system-wide services the issue is what is left over?

Not OP but I use Asahi on my M1 Pro MBP. Hardware support is incomplete (Thunderbolt doesn't work for example) but I don't need it. One surprising thing is the battery life while sleeping but I learned to do a shutdown instead of sleeping on it.
I am familiar with the common use, but it speaks to people in a lower class envying those in a higher class. Here we have people in the same class, just with different paths to get there. So, you must have a pet definition?

Regardless, I've never heard a "self-made" rich person complain "I had to work hard to get here. Why oh why wasn't I born rich like that Saudi prince?". They seem to only ever be proud that they were able to become rich. Again, I suppose it has probably happened once, but does not seem common enough to speak of.
> All of the players were part of a single squad, and working (and cooperating) as individuals for their own benefit.

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is specifically referring to Chainmail or early D&D. If the latter, this is explicitly not how Gygax (and Arneson) ran their campaigns back in those days, though. They had groups of people playing that fluctuated in the 30-50 player range, and people often had multiple characters specifically because they frequently did not have the same people at the table each session. They were in the same shard, persistent world, but there were many different parties, and they all decided on their own goals. These often conflicted - adversarial interactions between groups were things that happened! B2 - Keep on the Borderlands - even includes a lot of details around how the DM should handle such situations, how the players can protect their treasure from other players, etc.

On the topic of the obesity epidemic, it's worth noting that lab rats with controlled diets are also getting fatter over time. The leading theories are microbiome shifts or environmental contamination (microplastics?,) but afaik no conclusive cause has been found.

When people fail at health, (as when they fail at finance or addiction), a lot of propaganda tells us to blame individuals, with no sympathy or awareness of our failing systems.

SMH at the cruelty....

Apart from tracking, the other concern is reliability — the server may lose or change the file, and this may not be noticed when clients use the hash, until the hash stops being popular, and you're left with a broken site.
Toyota’s strategy is cheaper, and their cars are very cost competitive.

PS: “It’s too expensive to save money with your methods!” Is the most common response I get from customers to this kind of efficiency improvement advice. Invariably they then proceed to set several million dollars on fire instead of spending ten thousand to avoid that error. It’s so predictable, it is getting boring.
>With macOS you have to accept the good and the bad, and the bad are really annoying

But with a trackpad you cannot see what you are touching. You see a single cursor on the screen. If you touch two things on your iPhone you know exactly which two things you are manipulating. With a single cursor on the Mac, no matter how many fingers you use you only manipulate one thing.

This seems to me a difficult challenge in mashing up the wildly different interaction paradigms. I'd love to see how Apple solves it in their new feature.

What is the alternative? Sure, I agree people misuse medications sometimes.

So should we not help people curb their obesity and/or T2D because some folks misuse it? Of course not.

People misuse Sudafed and use it to make meth, or drink Robitussin to get high. I would be very upset if I lost access to those medications when I was sick, simply because we decided to make rules about the exception. :)
Personally, I am somewhere in the middle. I use in office days to catch up on gossip I would not have gotten otherwise. The amount of work I actually manage to finish seems higher, but I wonder if it is simply because of how some of my work is structured.

Honestly, I don't think I care that much. I am practically checked out now. I can't imagine I am the only one. I also can't imagine this change making a difference.
When I hear "updates" instead of "upgrades", it sounds like no guarantee of improvement is being made.
It is incredibly insulting they want to use guilt of not spending like a good consumer as another tool in their sociopathic toolbox.
That's very interesting to hear. I wonder if Madison has a Linux/Unix users group. I 100% agree on the makerspace front. I actually worked with one of the founders of The Bodgery for awhile, despite not being my thing it sounds like a great place.

The best thing you could do, if you're working at Google, Meta or Amazon is to always be looking, or any other publicly traded company for that matter. They prune people whenever they feel like it. If shareholders aren't happy, this typically happens roughly every three months.
What works did Edward Witten do? [video]
Right, this is accurate.

You can't have a mentality of working on something forever in AWS, unless it is S3/RDS/EC2, those forever systems. People are fighting to create new codenames for new products, PRFAQ all the time, etc.

Does this approach work? Maybe, but definitely at a cost. It creates many half-assed products that one acknowledgement away from turning off its life support. And many grifters and land grabbing attempts to create some glue services just to back on the hot new trends. Yes, I am talking about the AI stuff. It is embarrassing how little Amazon has to show for, while spending billions, all because the in fighting and internal sabotaging kills its chance before it can see the light of the day. Epic level failure if you ask me.
My experience there (15 years ago) was that on-call was terrible because line management was unable or unwilling to invest in fixing root causes of operational issues.

When I started I lucked into a situation where I was one engineer a "team" of two. We didn't have a manager and were reporting to the director of our department. He only had about an hour a week to meet with us. We spent a lot of time fixing broken stuff that we'd inherited (a task that I actually found kind of fun), and soon our ops load started going down. We eventually got another engineer and a manager who was willing to prioritize fixing the root causes of our on-call tickets.

During black-friday-week of my second year there we had essentially no operational issues and spent our time brainstorming future work while we kept an eye our performance dashboards. We got semi-scolded by a senior engineer from a neighboring team because we didn't "seem very busy". Our manager called that a win.

Even back then Amazon had the reputation for being a brutal place to work and for burning out engineers, but I rather liked it. I ultimately left because my wife hated living in Seattle.

Is it marketed as "intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals"? That's one of three things that gets you categorized under the FDA regulation. There's even a term for it: "SaMD".

It seems less likely to me that this is Apple being ruthless or pigheaded and more than you really do have to be careful how you market your iPhone apps.

I take your point; the FDA doesn't recognize "snoring" as a medical condition (but OSA is!)
I think the author's issue is he conflates feudalism, which is generally held to begin in the 10th century, with the entire medieval period, which is traditionally dated as starting in the late 5th century. He also thinks of feudalism as this static culturally defining force but in reality it waxed and waned depending on the time and place.

It also had some huge holes in who and what it covered, and it's not hard to imagine any of the OD&D classes (cleric, magic-user, fighting-man) in those gaps. The largest of these gaps by far was The Church, but we also have universities (which developed under protection of the church), guilds (which developed in places under protection of the universities), and the rising merchant class (who could form guilds to reinforce their power). There were also mercenaries, hermits and various other free people.
For consoles, not general purpose computers. Microsoft's cut is also much more sane.
Yeah, 100% agreed with this. My team is currently 1 day/week (Thursdays) in-office, and for both better and worse, there are conversations that happen which wouldn't otherwise. A lot of great things come out of those conversations, but also I can reliably write off getting work done that day.
Degree matters. Working at a missile factory is worse than working for Amazon is worse than working for a public library.

I don’t think the first part is true though, any distance runner or cyclist that has experienced the “bonk” knows that they didn’t eat enough.

But yup if you’re very obese, running won’t be good for your joints. Swimming would be better, but unless you have a pool or live on a lake it’s much less convenient.

This has come to be known as "coffee badging" where I work, heh.

I usually schedule my in-person meetings in a block, come in for that, then go back home to do my coding. It's nice to get a change of scenery.

I am far less efficient this way of course since I lose 90-120 minutes a day, but if that's how my employer wants me to spend my time... I guess that's why they call it "compensation."
People are ignorant about conditions they don't have and they want to believe that it won't affect them.

I started noticing clear symptoms of OSA when my BMI was less than 20 and my VO2Max was around 51. That is to say, I was leaner and fitter than most.

I completely agree that they should screen folks routinely.
Slashdot got like that way back 20 years ago... every article about technology was a bunch of gumps wondering why we would ever need whatever tech the article was about.

It's pretty out of touch, exhausting and kinda makes me feel embarrassed for whoever posted it.

People think they are so high and mighty and have everything figured out. The fact is, they are just an average human trying to make it through this world like everyone else. Just like me, just like you. Nobody has it figured out.

And to go back onto topic, I thought the leaked PDF was fascinating. There is a lot of good management stuff in that document.
absolutely anecdotal, but from my experience, people who are normally excited for iPhones really don’t care about AI at all.

i think Apple hyping AI so much was a mistake, doesn’t have nearly the same impact to them as hyping up a new camera feature or a new screen or a new color or something.

> nothing about saying they use rl implies they use mcts

We can say the same thing about RL implying PPO, however there’s pretty big hints, namely Noam Brown being involved. Many of the things Noam Brown has worked on involve RL in tree search contexts.

He has also been consistently advocating the use of additional test-time compute to solve search problems. This is also consistent with the messaging regarding the reasoning tokens. There is likely some learned tree search algorithm, such as a learned policy/value function as in AlphaGo.

It’s all speculation until we have an actual paper. So we can’t categorically say MCTS/learned tree search isn’t involved.

I've been stuffing JS and API calls into Google Sheets cells and for small use cases its great!

When you get very complicated flows, of one cell pointed to another cell, it becomes a massive mess. It's hard to debug and there's no way to "linearize" the flow into something more legible, and even harder to log everything. I hope Python in Excel figures out how to get over those hurdles
Setting the "Double-click a window's title bar" action to Zoom just fills the vertical space. It doesn't adjust the width to fill available space, which is usually what I want. Finder, as an example, almost never sets the width to something usable.

It's both on my Mac Mini and my MBA (both M1). It work great on the Mini. I think bluetooth work, but I have no use for it and have never checked. Everything works great as far as I know (even virtualization with qemu). I don't game on it, so can't say anything about that.

As for the MBA, suspend is still a miss (I read that the asahi team can't get certain devices to go to deep sleep, so they chose a safer low power mode instead). The lack of DP over usb-c is a bit annoying, but I mostly use the laptop display on macOS too, so I don't really mind. I think thunderbolt is not there too, but I have no thunderbolt devices (dock or storage). It boots very fast, but I'd recommend against KDE as the MBA gets hot with it. I'm using Sway. I heard about microphone issue, but I've never used it for calls as I have a usb one on my desktop.

The installation process is as easy as something done in the terminal can be. It's pretty much guided (just make sure you have enough space for the installation). If I had to redo it, I'd choose the minimal installation as I don't like KDE that much and it was some pain to remove it.
> why the hell are you using a non-retina display?

Probably because for the price of a 27" 5k apple display I can buy four 27" 4k displays with money left over for the VESA mounting.
L7+ IC roles are not bad at all. Competitive packages. Tons of responsibility and freedom. I can't stress this enough. an L7+ really has lots of freedom and influence. They get to choose which meetings to go to, how much code they write, what architecture to use, who to work with, and have a serious say on what product features to launch, and which oncall to participate (except the GM escalation oncall). The company's policies and culture ensure that. They will be accountable for the architecture they choose, so of course they have the final say on what architecture to use -- typical freedom and responsibility. Plus, they have veto power of one's rating and promotion, after all. Other benefits include Lots of resources at their disposal. Good opportunity to learn from truly great engineers, at least in AWS. Note I'm not saying that every L7+ is great. All I'm saying that there are many truly great engineers and scientists that one can learn from. Think about the L7+ who built EC2, DDB, EBS, S3, SQS, and etc. Think about the L7+ who are fellows of ACM or NAE, who invented algorithms, built new systems, created new programming languages, and etc. They did not only spearhead the evolution of the underlying distributed systems, but also pushed large-scale application of queuing theories, formal verifications, and etc, as well as helped shape the engineering culture of the company. Oh, one also gets to learn the most elaborate and thorough operational practices. The production readiness review is amazing and is a gem for anyone to learn from.
For better or worse XHTML, also known as the XML serialization of HTML, cannot represent all valid HTML documents. HTML and XML are different languages with vastly different rules, and it's fairly moot now to consider replacing them.

Many of the "problems" with HTML are still handled adequately simply by using a spec-compliant parser instead of regular expressions, string functions, or attempting to parse HTML with XML parsers like PHP's `DOMDocument`.

Every major browser engine and every spec-compliant parser interprets any given HTML document in the same prescribed deterministic way. HTML parsers are't "loose" or "forgiving" - they simply have fully-defined behavior in the presence of errors.

This turned out to be a good thing because people tend to prefer being able to read _most_ of a document when _some_ errors are present. The "draconian error handling" made software easier to write, but largely deals with errors by pretending they can't exist.
