I came here to basically say this.

People who tout the dangers of glp1 - and there ARE risks! - are also ignoring the "what did you do instead of a glp1" and the answer is.... remain overweight, which has many risks!

Yes glp1 might increase the risk of a certain kind of cancer. But guess what, it also reduces the risks of many other cancers tied to obesity!

It's hard for me to take hand-wringing over glp1s seriously. Appeals to "JUST do x" are lost in the "just" - hello if people could just do intermittent fasting, or eat less calories, well then there would be less obesity. The obesity epidemic is literally a rebuttal to any of these arguments.
Considering what terrible stewards of the the Earth and of each other we are, depressing is also a wrong descriptor.

That would bode well if we could reduce our CO2 production. It suggests that the atmosphere might recover faster than previously thought.

But thus far we've only increased CO2 production, and CO2 levels keep going up. That just makes it scarier: the CO2 levels increase despite the plants absorbing it more than we expected. That implies that it will be even harder than we thought to reduce emissions to the level of neutrality.

Things like GLP-1 can give a near immediate bodily response that can lead to people starting to work out. When you have inflammation issues I can promise the last thing you want to do is put stress on your body from working out. Especially when most people don't know how to do it properly.

I'm Brazilian, but whether you consider Latin America western or western-adjacent, here healthy food is definitely not cheaper than processed food at all. Yet, you can see populations and regions dropping from food insecurity directly into obesity as soon as people do have access to more food.

The time argument might be relevant, but even then, most Brazilians do have cheap and easy access to a very healthy lunch in restaurants or to-go meals, purchased or prepared, with rice, beans, meat, salad... The breakfast is probably bread, but I'd say most people don't eat a lot of that in the morning. Getting proper nutrition at night will probably be problematic, but it's also a smaller window...

But, like I said, processed food is quite expensive here. For instance, a 1 kg of chicken breast goes by less than a third the price of a McDonald's combo. A pack of cookies or snacks will be like double the price of a 1 kg of bananas...

Sure. But the MRNA vaccines were the first ones to be available and the Myocarditis risk from getting COVID-19 while unvaccinated is still multiple times higher than the risk from the MRNA vaccine. So, all that telling people about the risk of myocarditis does is dissuade some portion of people from getting the MRNA vaccine... which leads to more cases of myocarditis/deaths.

Strava has suffered from this and had known attacks for 10+ years now. There was a famous case around Colorado of a mistaken doxxing attack driven by Reddit. Due to mistaken identity, attackers pursued an innocent victim using their Strava account. The Strava location was the cause of both the mistaken identity case and abused to find and dox the victim.

Strava’s anonymization algorithm (the bubble feature) is primitive and trivially de-anonymized with basic triangulation.

The company has never adequately responded to privacy concerns despite many abuse cases.

Why aren't you writing unit tests just because AI wrote the function? Unit tests should be written regardless of the skill of the developer. Ironically, unit tests are also one area where AI really does help move faster.

High level design, rough outlines and approaches, is the worst place to use AI. The other place AI is pretty good is surfacing api call or function calls you might not know about if you're new to the language. Basically, it can save you a lot of time by avoiding the need for tons of internet searching in some cases.
I'm not the guy you asked but I have a similar opinion on flat screens. Personally I'd want spherical. ~15" tall and ~25" wide is about my limit for flat screens, anything beyond that I find that the corners/edges are too distant/distorted. My home setup is multiple independent 27" screens, which I like. My work setup is a single flat ultrawide (34" probably?), and I find myself physically leaning my head/body from side to side when I have two windows open next to each other. I have eye level a few inches from the top of the screen, and the lowest couple inches also seem distant/distorted.
People have multiple devices, sure, but in my experience (among non-HN people) it's iPhone+iPad or iPhone+mac dominating, with a decent contingent of iPhone+Windows, and rarely Android+Windows. (This is of course US-centric; the iPhone is more popular as a mobile platform, and that often entices people to buy into other aspects of the Apple ecosystem.)

It is exceedingly rare for the multiple devices to span the UI toolkits of more than one or two company-platform. For people in the Apple ecosystem, they don't want to see something that looks like it belongs on Android.

Regardless, "unified UI" doesn't mean it can't use native controls. More important from a UX perspective is that controls are in the same places and behave similarly, and that the app is organized in a similar manner, plus or minus what might naturally change because of differences in screen size and input method. And that's another useful point to make too: mobile, tablet, and desktop experiences are often quite different, and that's normal and expected at this point.

Another consideration: it's a lot more difficult to make an accessible app when you draw your own custom UI controls with your own custom behavior. If you use the native UI controls, you get a lot of the accessibility features for free, and have to do much less work to make sure everything works for people who are vision or mobility impaired. From what I understand after reading about blind people's experiences on various platforms, most companies that do custom UI don't bother, and the accessibility of their apps is atrocious.
>Where is the support for men?

Where are the men willing to put in the hard work it takes to build man-positive spaces that talk about difficult subjects with men, and guide them through growing up into caring people?

Instead, it seems like men just want the world to go back to the way it was, and they would rather women suffer than they have to put in the leg work required to build a fair and just society.

That's what this horseshit is about. Millions of men are facing a small amount of pain adjusting to a world where you aren't default accepted based on having a penis, and their first response is "No, time to oppress women again".

Women faced all sorts of pushback for decades for wanting to be more than baby making machines. They literally still are, with one presidential candidate and his friends openly hostile to independent and self-sufficient women. They (most of them) still fight for their rights and still fight for the betterment of women in general.

It's going to be difficult, social change always is. It's going to take decades, social change always does. It won't be perfect. But I'd still rather a future society where men can be how they want even if it doesn't match some absurd and self destructive ideal of "masculinity" that doesn't let you be a human being, rather than going back to the 50s in terms of letting women be independent.

My mother did not work her ass off for 60 years for people like in this damn comment section to claim that they should go back to the kitchen, that they don't have bodily autonomy, that they don't have fiscal autonomy. I will fight for her.

Men will get a lot more support when they stop insisting the lack of male spaces and positive male role models is somehow women's fault, when they've worked their asses off for decades.

It's not a fucking zero sum game!

Basically operating at standard pre-Retina Mac DPI levels. The 27" Apple Cinema Display had exactly this resolution, as well as the 27" iMac before it went to 5K.

I agree, it works… fine. But sadly more and more elements of modern macOS will look blurry / aliased because they are only made with hi-DPI in mind.

For example all SF Symbols, as far as I know, are not defined as pixel graphics but only stored as vectors and rasterized on the fly. Which works great at high res and makes them freely scalable, but on low-DPI displays they certainly look worse than a pixel-perfect icon would.
Yeah, there are ways to make it work, for example by specifying source addresses or nets on the the routes. In openwrt it's a checkbox to tick on the upstream interfaces.
> Diversifying away from a single source for all of AI hardware and software, is a smart thing to do.

I wonder how this squares with the exclusivity contract with Microsoft. Even the OpenAI/Oracle deal requires Oracle to run Azure stack on their datacenter so MSFT can mediate the relationship. The AMD chips mentioned are also purchased by MSFT.

I wonder if this really means that OpenAI is accepting the risk/capital expense while providing a variety of hardware to Microsoft, or if there are other terms at play.

The best way that I can describe what Semaglutide has done for me is that I feel like almost nothing in my life has changed (other than being down 45lbs, suddenly having normalized liver enzyme levels and blood pressure.) Before starting it, I generally ate until I was satiated, almost never over full. From time to time I'd maintain a caloric deficit, but it meant a large part of my attention was consumed, day and night, by a nagging distraction of food.

Today, I still just eat a normal diet until I'm satiated - but 1/3 of the food is left on the plate. I have a little less of an interest in alcohol and coffee, but other than that it's like nothing has changed.

My point is that there's still a common sentiment that these drugs are some sort of a shortcut for people who want the ability to over-indulge, when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth.

I think what I feel like on a GLP-1 is what most people feel like without one. If you want to know what I feel like without a GLP-1, try not eating until your mind is constantly nagging you to do so - then try staying like that forever. That's what a lot of people propose to anyone who has a problem with their weight.

Except actual studies objectively show efficiency gains, more with junior devs, which make sense. So no, it's not a "deception" but it is often overstated in popular media.
On one side, sure GPL-1 may have side effects, maybe bad ones. On the other hand, overweight in the sense of excessive adipose tissue, correlates with a huge number of very bad health problems (both mental and physiological), with an abundance of proof around causality for many of these.

I’m thinking, whatever negative side effects we find for GPL-1 in the future, they will have to be pretty massive to offset all these benefits.

> Filenames should be boring printable normalized UTF-8. I have never, not once, seen a good reason that a filename should be able to contain random binary gobbledygook

Ensuring normalization is hard. Where should you do it? There's only one good place: in the filesystem. But if you normalize on create then you'd better use the same form that everyone else uses, but, what's that? Input methods generally produce NFC, but there's no guarantee that they will not produce something else. HFS+ normalizes to NFD on create.

ZFS uses form-insensitivity -- much like case-insensitivity, but for form. The reason ZFS went this was exactly that HFS+ and input methods differ as to forms. I pushed hard for this way back when. IMO form-insensitivity is the best way forward.

But as for guaranteeing that filenames are UTF-8... that's much harder. The best thing to do is to not allow the use of non-UTF-8, non-ASCII, non-C locales -- not a guarantee, but pretty good.

I'm actually very curious why AI use is such a bi-modal experience. I've used AI to move multi thousand line codebases between languages. I've created new apps from scratch with it.

My theory is the willingness to baby sit and the modality. I'm perfectly fine telling the tool I use its errors and working side by side with it like it was another person. At the end of the day it can belt out lines of code faster than I, or any human, can and I can review code very quickly so the overall productivity boost has been great.

It does fundamentally alter my workflow. I'm very hands off keyboard when I'm working with AI in a way that is much more like working with someone or coaching someone to make something instead of doing the making myself. Which I'm fine with but recognize many developers aren't.

I use AI autocomplete 0% of the time as I found that workflow was not as effective as me just writing code, but most of my most successful work using AI is a chat dialogue where I'm letting it build large swaths of the project a file or parts of a file at a time, with me reviewing and coaching.

>but reports seem to indicate that GLP-1 drugs make you feel _tired_,

I know a few people that take one of the name brands, and they really don't complain about this issue. What they do talk about is having more energy after dropping weight because they just don't feel compelled to eat much anymore.

I'm not overweight myself, but I am a Type 1 diabetic from a young age. "Sugar noise" is not something that is easy to ignore. Especially in the case where you have excess insulin in your bloodstream but not active enough for your body to use it. Your body will scream at you to eat something sweet/carby. In people that are overweight this can be caused by insulin resistance. Until you experience it, it's really easy to say "People should try", but it's about as easy as telling someone to drop meth or heroin.

People do make stuff for reasons other than money you know. We might see less shows, but certainly shows of higher quality, originality, and passion. I’ve witnessed the opposite shift myself on several occasions, when creative communities I participated in suddenly found monetization (online videos, game mods, etc). Suddenly there’s much more junk from people trying to cash in. There’s a reason artists make fun of sellouts!

> The vast majority of people said they wanted apps to act consistently across devices

... which you can absolutely do while using native UI controls. "Act consistently" (UI controls are in similar places and present themselves with similar UX) is not the same as "look consistently" (UI controls are drawn using whatever system theme or drawing style is in use).

Certainly there is some overlap between look & act: a platform-native "dropdown menu" looks and acts a little differently on Windows vs Android vs iOS. But I think these differences are not in the majority, and when users say they want apps to "act consistently" across platforms, you an absolutely achieve that with native UI controls, and it's not even that difficult.

This is a big problem I've run into when doing user studies myself: you need to be very precise with your language when asking users questions, and even then you often need to dig in and ask for details about what they mean by their answer. And of course having visual examples and functional mockups for users to play with helps a ton.

Another problem is the leading nature of questions you might ask during a user study: if you simply say "do you think it's better if the app acts consistently across platforms", of course users are going to say "yes". Saying "no" to that question feels kinda stupid, TBH. But if you were to give a user an iPhone and Android phone, with the same app, using native controls on both platforms, and ask them if you believe that the apps "act consistently" with each other, users are probably going to say "yes", as long as the design and UX of the apps in general are consistent with each other.

(And even that's a contrived test: very few people use both an iPhone and Android phone regularly!)
>spiders take flight by extending a silk thread to catch charges in the sky

I did some amateur research on spider ballooning many years ago and I believe part of the lift comes from rising air dragging along the silk thread.
