In 18th to early 19th century US/England, body snatching aka grave robbing was a common activity of medical students. And in England, it was a profession. As was guarding the freshly buried against such. When New York Hospital and Columbia didn't limit themselves to blacks, you got the 1788 Doctors' Riot and several deaths. A riot at Yale in 1824.

I wonder if you could teach history by emphasizing "surprises for the time traveler"?

Really? You mean you missed Azure AD renamed to Entra ID? How about Microsoft Azure Security Center + Azure Defender combined into Azure Defender for Cloud? All the products that were "Azure Defender something" that became "Microsoft Defender something"? Yammer -> Viva? MyAnalytics -> Viva Insight? How about the 20-something products that changed to the "Microsoft Purview" branding.

By our count, Microsoft renamed something like Azure 60 products in the last 5 years. And you didn't "experience" any of that?

we spend millions of dollars a year with them

Oh my...I sure hope you don't think spending "millions" of dollars a year with Microsoft makes you special; our mid-8-figure USD yearly spend sure doesn't move us to the front of too many lines. But they do let us know when they change product names...
I loved The Martian, actively disliked Artemis, and thought Project Hail Mary was all right. I liked it overall, but it never really clicked for me like The Martian did. Definitely worth a read, though! Most seem to have liked it more than I did.

Netflix didn’t solve that problem though, their shows are garbage mostly imho so I cancelled my netflix subscription for example, I’m sure it is the same for a lot of people. So even if AI actors are good it is not enough, they will have to be a lot better. Maybe this will crush the economics and change the entire landscape though then all we will only have shitty AI actors which is kind of what is happening with movie making because of netflix model from what I understand.
They lived so long ago, my understanding is such artifacts would be extremely unlikely to survive. We also haven't looked in that many places at that depth.

I mean it's still quite unlikely though.

Key point:

> To create those conditions, Przeworski found, it is crucial for the stakes of power to remain relatively low, so that people don’t fear electoral defeat so much that they seek other methods — such as coups — of reversing it. That means winners of elections need to act with restraint: They can’t “grab too much” and make life miserable for the losers, or foreclose the possibility that future elections would allow the losers to win. “When these conditions are satisfied,” Przeworski told me, “then democracy works.”

When you look at it from the viewpoint of Trump or Netanyahu, it becomes entirely believable. It also puts the US supreme courts ruling on "you can't prosecute a US president for official acts" in a different light.

Yes, exactly! It seems like people overlook the tools and processes that currently exist and how we can integrate those into hydrogen ambitions.
Doctors have long said, "Diet and Exercise", but they couldn't really address the pain aspect of hunger until the last few years.

And hunger is painful.

Hunger is something that is left to the patient to cope with -- usually badly. Sure there could be support groups and exercise groups, but nobody is going to be there in your bed when you're trying to fall asleep with hunger pains.
> FTA: So we're not only going to be treating (or outright preventing) a number of diseases, we're going to be learning more about the cause of these diseases than we ever did before.

Ultra processed foods (UPF) needs a hard look IMO. It's the leading cause of many diseases stated in the article and several others including cancer and dementia.
I had the Dell 8k monitor you mentioned, the picture quality was great but it died after a few years not long after the warranty expired (a gut punch at the purchase price) and they said too bad so sad... ok that's fine but I will never buy another Dell product again. It was released too early to have proper displayport support and I had to use a custom nvidia-driver X11 config to make it mostly work as two monitors. And there is basically no way to use that kind of DPI without scaling.

I replaced it with an LG 43UN700 which is a 43" 4K display that I use unscaled and although the LCD panel is vastly inferior I love the thing especially at the price point (under $700). I hope manufacturers continue to support this niche of large singular flat displays because they are fantastic for coding, data viewing/visualization and pitch hit at content consumption as your article states although this one would be no good for gaming. And getting a "monitor" or "professional display" firmware load means a lot less problems than a Smart TV load.
My insurance company asked about that when I got the policy, I said Yes we have one and it was not an issue. Perhaps they are charging me a higher premium, but not enough that I noticed.

It feels like I am seeing more and more websites lately that have a favicon that is deliberately broken, and I'm not sure why this appears to be a thing that is somehow gaining traction.
My theory is grammatical correctness and specificity. I see a lot of people prompt like this:

"use python to write me a prog that does some dice rolls and makes a graph"

Vs

"Create a Python program that generates random numbers to simulate a series of dice rolls. Export a graph of the results in PNG format."

Information theory requires that you provide enough actual information. There is a minimum amount of work to supply the input. Otherwise, the gaps will get filled in with noise, working, what you want, or not.

For example, maybe someday you could say "write me an OS" and it would work. However, to get exactly what you want, you still have to specify it. You can only compress so far.
That strategy only works if the anchor is in the realm of reality. If I'm selling a 20 year old Toyota Corolla and initially ask for $900,000 that's not going to help me get a higher price.

This thread is kind of painful because it's full of people who have no problem with their weight telling others to "just don't have a problem too!".

I don't eat because I'm hungry. I eat because food is there, or because I remembered that food exists, or because I have nothing better to do, or because stuff tastes good. I can't remember the last time I was hungry.

The weird thing is I can go a really long time without food. I can go 36 hours easily without eating something, hunger doesn't bother me at all. After 36 hours, I think "huh, I should probably eat something".

Such situations where I forget to eat are really, really, really rare. I have to basically be on my own and working on something fun, because that's when I both don't have food in the house and don't want to spend the two minutes it takes to order something.
Woah... I opened the article ready to scream "FAKE! AI GENERATED!" and foam at the mouth... but it's real. And she's not half bad. I mean, it seems like a good idea to meet pilgrims where they're at, because traveling young adults grew up immersed in this stuff, wherever they are.

It sure looks like they’ve solved it.
Some people (like yourselves) are so delusional that you are capable of considering wasting 7T$ on something that is a glorified autocomplete technology. We kind of a need a reset in the tech industry to get rid of mindsets like yours. AGI is still so far away and when the AI bubble eventually bursts, you will probably still try to convince yourself it still only needs 7T$. The state of people in the tech industry is sad.
This is my issue. I have lost 40-60lb many times in the past 15 years, but I always gain it back because the root cause is not fixable. I always have a lingering hunger, and I don't want to spend my entire life hungry.
I've argued in the past that we should have batch settlements every 30 seconds, instead of in real time. We don't really need microsecond based skimming/front running.
These “generates e-waste” articles are political hit pieces. I hope we’re all intelligent enough to recognise the absurdity of the statement.

In case it is unclear, a similar article was going around the Internet a few years ago complaining about the “tons of e-waste created by Apple Airpods”.

Yes, that’s true in the sense that Apple was producing “tons” of e-waste annually… two of them. One ton wouldn’t be “tons”, you see, so the article was technically correct in the dumbest and most nakedly deceptive way possible.

Waste is about inefficiency. It implies no or negative utility. There’s a hint of huge landfills and truck after truck of bulky stuff filling that up.

AirPods and AI chips are the opposite of inefficient! They’re some of the smallest, densest, most concentrated and space-efficient products ever made by man.

To invoke the word “waste” in juxtaposition to these things is so absurd, so contrary to their essential nature that it’s clearly a deliberate falsehood, signalling membership in a group by its absurdity. It’s like the official statements on RT that yet another oligarch “fell out” of a window. Everyone knows what really happened there. The claim of defenestration is a coded signal telling the listeners a very different message to the verbatim text.

Someone who is scared of AI wrote this article or had it written on their behalf. It’s the product of a Luddite, or someone whose job is about to be replaced.

“Stop the efficiencies! My career as a copy editor is at risk! I mean… it’s surely wasteful to optimise my job away with a chip that’s a mere square inch in size and weighs a gram!”
Getting bored of it isn't the same as having no use for it. This stuff is 2 years old; we haven't figured it all out. Even if all development on the actual models stopped now, we'd still be seeing new uses of LLMs emerging for years to come.

It’s a race to create an AI good enough to solve the e-waste problem before the e-waste problem becomes such a large problem that it prevents AI advancement.
I got my 8k 55" tv for under 1000 usd several years ago. Brand new, from a brick and mortar electronics store. So it is definitely possible to make 8k monitors for less than 1000 usd.

A mere 55" with 8K resolution makes no sense as a TV, but it's glorious as a productivity monitor. But instead of becoming commonplace as monitors, the panels seem to just be disappearing even as TV's. At the moment I can't find anything at any price that can replace my current setup.

The market isn't working for monitors. Everything available now is either crap, or costs 10x more than it clearly could. Millions of people are spending years of their lives in front of bad screens because monitor makers don't want to make good ones.
I am not sure from which country you gain your perspective, but in Germany it's not what's gonna happen. Your human right is the highest good, and police or any doctor is only permitted to force you to take drugs or put you in a clinic when you are acute suicidal or you harm others.
Unfortunately I know that first hand.
Thanks for clarification, that makes sense.

Just to give you a bit more context, I've been evaluating CDC (change data capture) tooling and Prisma Pulse was one of the options. My primary data storage is Postgres but I have a need to react when data in some tables is changed (depending on some user-provided filters). I'm currently handling that with naive message push to SQS, because Debezium/Kafka setup is too expensive/complex. Prisma Pulse looks great, but that CDC part of my app is crucial and I need an option to be able to host it myself/on premises for some customers.

However I totally understand the need to build a moat — good luck on your journey!
Right, it’s not something specific to GLP-1 treatment, but there are myostatin and activin A modulators under investigation to specifically counteract muscle loss related to caloric deficit more generally.
Well, MS isn't fatal, but it certainly doesn't HELP... people with it have a generally shorter life expectancy (by like 7 years) from complications with something else, like heart disease or cancer.

I was raised by elderly grandparents. That was a movie that my ultra conservative grandma loved. It was the only movie that was above a G rating that she let us watch, because she loved Mel Brooks so much. TV and movies were essentially banned when I was growing up. It was either Lawrence Welk, I Love Lucy, or whatever nature special was on PBS if we were allowed to watch TV, until I bought her a copy of Young Frankenstein on VHS. Then we could watch that when we had TV access.

Thank God for Teri's boobs when I was an early teen. I shudder to think what my tastes might be today if all I had was The Lawrence Welk show during my formative years.
I also thought that they were ending some previous deal and not creating a new one.

Except there's no analogy here of course, because unlike Cuba in 1962, Ukraine did not station nuclear missiles, or take any other action objectively posing a threat to Russia. But Putin invaded anyway, because as the world knows, the invasion was never about Russia's legitimate security concerns in the first place.

Meanwhile, if we were to draw an appropriate analogy to 1962 it would go like this: "Confrontation over missiles, Khrushchev backs down. However, JFK is not satisfied with Khrushchev's assurances that Cuba will not eventually form a NATO-like alliance with Russia, and doesn't like the idea of the countries forming close economic ties, and so decides to invade anyway, seeking regime change and a government in Cuba that is permanently friendly to US interests."

The latter (hypothetical) action would have been neocolonial aggression in the classic mold, of course - on top of being a transparent sham. And in exactly that vein, a much closer analogy to the course of action Putin actually took in Ukraine.

I'm fine with GPL-1 agonists, they seem great, not trying to argue against them.

This is an age old problem in the obesity treatment and research community. It never seems to go away. It's come up with bariatric surgery, with other methods, and now GPL1- agonists.

The issue for me is that "telling people to eat less" is sort of a strawman in some ways. It doesn't work.

What does work, however, at least according to evidence I've seen, is giving people strategies for losing weight, therapy, support, and so forth. It doesn't work for everyone but it does for some.

I would rather people try that first as it can be self-sustaining and doesn't require medication.

I'm not opposed to the medication or people using it, in fact I think it's a good thing, but it seems a little dangerous to me to create a culture where people are just told "take this pill, pay lots of money for it, because nothing else will work" which is not actually true. I don't think we're at that point but it's easy for me to imagine.
It's a race to ignore all this, calling it "woke snowflake worries lol", and enjoying the short term economical benefits of AI making the shareholders happy. And I'm not even sarcastic.
I bought uninsured motorist coverage recently. 1 in 5 drivers are uninsured. You can bet they are uninsured because of things like a suspended license or way too many accidents. I would estimate that roughly half of the accidents in the state of Texas involve at least one uninsured motorist. In addition, minimum coverage is like $30k. This would barely cover medical bills for one person. Much less more than one.

It also makes the claims process way better. You get paid right away to fix your stuff instead of playing games with someone else's horrible fly by night insurance company.
True but imagine the price and availability impact when the oral formulations go off-patent. The autoinjectors are inherently expensive to make and ship, and some people have a needle phobia. Oral daily seems like the endgame here.

30 seconds seems reasonable. Don't the markets themselves make a fair amount of money off of providing fast access to the HFTs? Is that the primary perverse incentive?
How does it compare to working from home as opposed to driving to the office?

E.g. let's say I drive 10 miles a day to get to the office vs use an 8k TV at home?

If I go out of my way to work from home, would I be ethically ok to use 8k monitor?

Back of the napkin it seems like 8k monitor would be 10x better than driving to the office?
I feel like Apple's 30 inch 6k display would be the sweet spot for me, but its 60 hz and cost what.. $6,000 ? I just use 27" 4k monitors for work. It's fine but I'd definitely like something a bit bigger and even crisper. I have to use windows for work though.
The health benefits of eating less and fasting such as autophagy, ketones occurs with or without gpl1. That is how gpl1 is healthy, because eating less and fasting is healthy.

You don't have to go to the gym to activate and stimulate muscles. But our bodies are made for daily usage of muscles.

We always had downtrodden, poor, weak people, in any society. But in the 1970's they were not obese.

We dont take daily vaccins they are a intervention. Gpl1 could be intervention for obesity patients.

The danger of long term usage of gpl1 is that our bodies emerged ecosystems that we don't understand yet. By reducing hunger signals that their motivate a person to get nutrition such as protein, vitamins and minerals, etc
Leads to malnutrition, muscle loss and other diseases.

Your point is that there is no problem with current paradigm of nutrition while at the same time promoting a agent that stops the addictive nature of our current nutritional paradigm.

If you use gpl-1, And it works for you that is great and we should be grateful that gpl-1 is available. My only advice would be, to lift weights or callisthenics to keep your muscle size and strength. And to explore other nutritional paradigms that can help you maintain the weight loss without gpl-1.

I've read the arguments that the microsecond trading serves a purpose that benefits all of us, but I fail to see how, even with the explanations.

I'm with you. Every 30 seconds. Cap the power of connection speed in trading. Trading should be based on the value of the item being traded, not on how short the fiber run is.

This is precisely why I’m skeptical. It assumes that that first advertiser can sell more of the same products just with better copy or more targeted placement and that more advertisers can backfill the previously used inventory that the first advertiser no longer needs and enjoy better sales too.

But doesn’t that then mean that many more product sales are taking place as opposed to the same number of sales spread across more impressions? I don’t see how many more sales can take place without users spending more money or the number of users going up and my original point was that meta is surely tapping into that addressable market as it is. There are only so many consumer dollars to go around.

You're so right about the single point of failure.

I bought a 30" monitor back in 2008 when that constituted a large monitor. It had a 12 month warranty and died after 13 months. :-(

I switched to 2 24-inch monitors which cost less, had more total pixels, and most importantly I no longer had that single point of failure.
