No skeleton has ever been a person.
> Is this based on your survey or her self assessment?

Both? Being around her, and her self-assessment. Not sure how else one could interpret such a statement. This is all anecdotal evidence and should be taken as such.

> Yet it used to be? You don't find this situation suspect?

Yes, it used to be moderately interesting sometimes with the right people. Suspect in what manner? That it removes the desire to get inebriated? Perhaps so, since we do not understand the mechanism at play. What we don't know can certainly hurt us.

Overall the desire to drink less seems very similar to the impact it has on appetite and hunger levels. In that way, it is not so surprising to me.
How do you tell if you are someplace where you are not wanted to spend your time and money?

Why are you even going to Europe in the first place? Have you run out of less beaten paths where you live? I mean, Bill Bryson wrote books about some of these in the US, like vising Manson, Iowa to be where the Manson impact structure is located. Or visit the Alabaster Caverns State Park in Oklahoma. Or if you go to the Bandera Volcano Ice Cave in New Mexico, also stop by the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary.

These are out-of-the-way places which will gladly take your tourism dollars.

I'm starting to think if the Chinese had a point with their proposal to reform Internet protocols.
personal observations:

Problem solving is an absolute requirement to be able to do most things in math.

Programming can encompass one or more different domains.
The domain ranges can vary from "problem & implimenation are turn key solution just customize/use to get 'automated results'" to full blown figure out from scratch what/how things need to be developed and what/how to impliment issue/request/problem.

aka difference between biologist using database management system to 'program' needed forms/reports to make use of data vs. software engineer developing/implimenting the requirements/design for a database management system from scratch; for which a biologist will use of to generate forms/reports/store data.

Yeah but lifespan benefits usually come after the animal has had a lot of chances to have offspring. Also undereating is much more likely to kill you in times of famine.

I'm pointing out the problems of considering this a valid on term "solution." It's simply not. You need a plan to eventually be rid of this compromise.

That GLP-1 has benefits is good. That we could possibly rearrange our food system so we don't need it anymore is better.

You can acknowledge both without hurting _anyone_. You entirely lack an argument.

Yes very patronising, a terrible attitude really. Which is why I criticise it.

Also I'm disabled myself, although not in a way that requires any adaptation to use a computer. But I of course notice these things a bit more than average; and I get to hear my elderly father's complaints about software that he can't use because of inaccessible design.

Of course a designer should be qualified and notice these things even more… but all they do is move buttons around and disable copy paste so that even fully abled people have a hard time using our software between versions.

Wow, actually a good point I haven't seen anyone make.

Taking raw embeddings and then storing them into vector databases, would be like if you took raw n-grams of your text and put them into a database for search.

Storing documents makes much more sense.
This is my main point. Seems like gripes about the quality of published research should be directed toward the publisher.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? The craft of programming in the small is one of being intimate with the details, thinking things through conscientiously. LLMs don’t do that.
RLHF (and DPO) are used and aren't doing token level scoring.

The article is talking about inference. Most models people are actually using have gone through RLHF or DPO. So the uncertainty at inference includes all dimensions of uncertainty. A token choice can effectively be a branch from a conceptual perspective.

A healthy diet and lifestyle lead to increased GLP-1 levels.

Were there actually any studies on their effect on healthy and fit people?

Loss of muscle mass is already recognized:

And probably especially bad in people without fat reserves.
I think the essential point around impressive vs helpful sums up so much of the discourse around this stuff. Its all just where you fall on the line between "impressive is necessarily good" and "no it isn't".
Sure, it would probably not be helpful to give these people medical anorexia unless there was some huge, huge, more-than-offsetting other benefit. (Less than 2% of the US population is considered underweight by BMI: https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-of-bo... . )
Well, if we warm the globe a tad more back to the Holocene climatic optimum of 10k-8k years ago, we just might do that, complete with having a humid Sahara again and everything. Though I'm not sure we'll like some of the other effects...

> There were, of course, obstacles. One of the less appealing features of Golden’s business practice was that, with rare exceptions, they offered no royalties. This arrangement nagged at Scarry, especially after his and Patricia’s son Huck was born in 1953, so in 1955 he finally asked the imposing white-haired and lavender-blue-eyed Lucille Ogle for a revised contract that included royalties—and an advance. She readily agreed. Surprised, Scarry asked why she hadn’t offered such a deal earlier. “Because you never asked,” she replied.
Those graphs are incredible. Literally. As in impossible to credit.

What sort of other things would we have to conclude if we took them seriously? Insulin causes AD, starting the day you get the prescription? The mind (assuming it's turned on and operating) boggles.

I have done a few of these due to an expertise in a niche within the high frequency trading industry; they weren't near 5000$, typically around 10% of that. If it's a scam, I am betting you will know really quick (if they ask for bank info etc), I always asked for a paper check, and didn't offer up much personal information. If you post the firm that contacted, someone can probably corroborate one way or another.
This used to be much more true, but almost all PC games support 21:9 now and 32:9 support pretty common too. "most games" screwed up is an exaggeration IMO. Even on games that don't officially scale, on PC they almost always have customizable FoV that gets the perspective correct again. Many modern games are even smart enough to rearrange the UI so that the critical info (health bars, ammo counts etc) is in the center of the display and not attached to the edges.

PC games have kinda been forced to support ultrawides whether they like it or not - the 21:9 class especially has exploded in popularity for gaming PCs.

I've gamed in 32:9 for years now - I wouldn't go back. The curve is not exaggerated enough to be a meaningful projection issue on most curved displays and games.
Would recommend a black background Vscode theme for an OLED. The black background with red accents looks beautiful, at least on my smaller XPS 15 4k OLED. I use Dobri Next Black with some customizations but it looks good by default as well.
I don't think we know conclusively yet. That probably explains quite a lot of it, yes. It's unclear how that would lead to the substance (ab)use results, though.
old games became the domain of the pirates, so people started thinking of games the same way we were thinking of MP3s in the Napster days, where it’s just like “music’s free now, who cares?”

Does it really take mental gymnastics to read the above quotation that way?
Thx. Fixed it!
Epic and Blizzard also very popular. And there are other distributors too, like GOG or itch.io, who serve a lot of users. And there are popular titles that come with their own launcher, like Genshin Impact.

This goes against all evidence I have seen for folks who have lost a drastic amount of weight very rapidly. Bodybuilders seem to see the same effect as well when on cuts.

When you are losing 5% of your bodyweight per month (as I was, and many do) a substantial portion of that is simply going to be mean muscle mass. You can counteract some, but not all, of this by heavy resistance training. It's very difficult to not lose muscle mass while losing weight - it takes extreme measures for most folks (e.g. athletes) to do so.
If you are going after enterprise early, I highly recommend putting them on their own system instead of in a multi-tenant system.
Enterprise wants 30 days of immutable db backups?
They need to be able to rollback within X time?
They want guarantees that other people won’t affect them?

This all becomes easier if you turn it from an engineering problem to an operations problem.
Enterprise really cares about how you operate in order to guarantee they won’t be negatively impacted by your system. SOC2 is much more about your operations than anything else.

My recommendation: have a multi-tenant system for the plebs and bespoke deployments for the enterprise. Save yourself the headache of trying to satisfy both with the same infrastructure.

I'm building a tool in this space and believe it's actually multiple separate problems. From most to least solvable:

1. AI coding tools benefit a lot from explicit instructions/specifications and context for how their output will be used. This is actually a very similar problem to when eg someone asks a programmer "build me a website to do X" and then being unhappy with the result because they actually wanted to do "something like X", and a payments portal, and yellow buttons, and to host it on their existing website. So models need to be given those particular instructions somehow (there are many ways to do it, I think my approach is one of the best so far) and context (eg RAG via find-references, other files in your codebase, etc)

2. AI makes coding errors, bad assumptions, and mistakes just like humans. It's rather difficult to implement auto-correction in a good way, and goes beyond mere code-writing into "agentic" territory. This is also what I'm working on.

3. AI tools don't have architecture/software/system design knowledge appropriate represented in their training data and all the other techniques used to refine the model before releasing it. More accurately, they might have knowledge in the form of eg all the blog posts and docs out there about it, but not skill. Actually, there is some improvement here, because I think o1 and 3.5 sonnet are doing some kind of reinforcement-learning/self-training to get better at this. But it's not easily addressable on your end.

4. There is ultimately a ton of context cached in your brain that you cannot realistically share with the AI model, either because it's not written anywhere or there is just too much of it. For example, you may want to structure your code in a certain way because your next feature will extend it or use it. Or your product is hosted on serving platform Y which has an implementation detail where it tries automatically setting Content-Type response headers by appending them to existing headers, so manually setting Content-Type in the response causes bugs on certain clients. You can't magically stuff all of this into the model context.

My product tries to address all of these to varying extents. The largest gains in coding come from making it easier to specify requirements and self-correct, but architecture/design are much harder and not something we're working on much. You or anybody else can feel free to email me if you're interested in meeting for a product demo/feedback session - so far people really like our approach to setting output specs.
You seem hostile to this possible solution. Can you explain why?

> You're free to your opinion

Oh. Thank you. That's very generous. I assumed we started from that position but apparently not.

> the market will deliver to the demand.

Yes, because our healthcare market is perfect, and we should acquiesce to it's demands. The same could be said of opioid pain killers.

> The cost benefit ratio is obvious

Which entities cost benefit ratio, exactly? The patients? Are you _sure_ you have data which allows you to say that?

> even accounting for potential side effects at scale.

You're free to your opinion. The market will repeat history.
I think it's a fair bit of a stretch to broadly say that this study shows an association.

> Conclusion: Higher intake of calories and fats may be associated with higher risk of [Alzheimer Disease] in individuals carrying the apolipoprotein E ϵ4 allele.

> The hazard ratios of [Alzheimer Disease] for the highest quartiles of calorie and fat intake compared with the lowest quartiles in individuals without the apolipoprotein E ϵ4 allele were close to 1 and were not statistically significant.

For the general population, there was no correlation. Identifying specific genetic outliers where there may be a connection is still useful, but far from a general result.
It's certainly a compelling thesis.

You'll also want to put your education to use immediately. You want to take advantage of the pipelines for fresh graduates, and to be perceived as a youth when competing for entry-level jobs. It's hard enough to get that first job when you're fresh out. It could be even harder when you've spent the ages of 22-30 getting your kids born and ready to spend their days in school, so you're trying to score your first job in your late 20s or early 30s.

It may be that the education mechanism by itself suffices to explain it, even without that factor.

I wish it were possible to factor out that youth bias. We present women with such a terrible choice: their prime years for preparing for work are the same as their prime years for starting their family.

The browser only reluctantly accepts its role is an application UI platform. Every problem, including the ones you describe, come from the disconnect between what a browser is and what it is used for. The browser is always going to lag behind user expectations so that's why I think it's the last place we should put that functionality.

Adding more high-level UI functionality is really in conflict with the idea of browser as platform. Other features, like WASM, are pushing the browser the other way.

Disney as an IP hoarder would lose, but Amazon as an IP retailer would win. If there was zero copyright, how could a independent publisher or small author compete? Amazon could just take everything ever and sell it at lowest available price.
If it really is inflammation, exercise targets that just as well, and also acts as a miracle drug that seems to reduce the risk of just about everything, somewhat paradoxically even orthopedic injuries over a long enough timescale (because you stave off age-related muscle and bone mineral loss).

But that puts us back in the "telling people to exercise doesn't cause them to actually do it" at the public health level. For you yourself, you can simply live a less risky, healthier life. For all yous, probably we need something like a once-weekly pill or injection that doesn't require drastic habit changes. For all of society on a forever timescale, of course, we can ignore the fact that adults won't change their ways and focus on instilling lifelong athlete habits in kids. Doesn't seem to be the direction we're going in, though.

> But if you consider deeply, both of these proofs are implicitly encoding same information about the space between your house and the local store

That is only _some_ of the informations that they encode, and particularly informations shared by both proofs, but that it not the only information they encode! The exact way to reach the local food store is also some information, and they encode different ways, hence different informations.

> What I wanted to opine was merely the fact that since all proofs use logic

Note that there's no single logic! There are at least two big logics, classical and constructive/intuitionistic, each with their own variants.

For example a proof by contradiction is valid in classical logic but not in constructive one. It would give you a proof that there must be a way to reach the local store without giving you the way to reach it. Would it still count as the same proof as the other two for you? It doesn't encode how to reach it, so for some it's not even a valid proof.
