> For the people who lift weights while on this/these drugs, how much lean muscle do they lose?

I was 92kg when I started on liraglutide (I was doing GLP-1 agonists before it was cool!) and 67% of muscle mass (61kg). I'm now at 69kg and 82% of muscle mass (56kg). I'm doing weight and resistance training twice a week, in addition to aerobic training.

One nice thing, while muscles don't become more massive, they for sure become more pronounced and visible with weight loss.
Also, let's just assume that a bad actor would have access to reasonably sized and geographically distributed botnet... they could easily run their own global connectivity tests to get a good picture of what the actual impact of their actions were.

Tirzepatide let me stay away from the immediately appetizing junk food and almost exclusively eat a clean diet focused on protein.

My experience matches at least a dozen folks in my personal bubble. It’s sort of the point of the drug or it wouldn’t work very well.

Totally agreed on resistance training. The one thing I would change would have been starting that in a serious manner as soon I started the drug vs. waiting. Prescribing it is silly though - if that worked we wouldn’t need the drugs to begin with.

Voice behind top Simpsons character quits after 35 years on hit show
I'm going to say that that's accurate when you replace 'forecasters' with 'economists'. It's why things don't change as quickly as they could, because:

- The economic data suggests..

- Economists agree that...

If it relies on history to guess the future, you're mostly going to get history as the result. Somewhat analgous to science progressing on funeral at a time.
> Tokyo, where a country-wide baby bust coupled with anemic local wages and a huge 1980s housing boom hang over, keeps things reasonably priced.

Nope. Tokyo's population is still growing, and 1980s housing in Tokyo is deeply undesirable. The reason Tokyo has sane housing prices is that it continuously builds large amounts of housing, because they haven't made it de facto illegal the way too many places have. Sometimes that's all it takes.

We can and should have satellites, but we can certainly be thrifty with how we use them.

The megaconstellation concept isn't necessary for most of the "cool stuff you can do with satellites." You might need a handful of weather or GPS satellites, and you can be more selective for orbits and lifecycle management if you're a responsible government operator.

The Starlink fiasco (and its clones) solely exists because we're abysmal at getting telecom projects built. If 80% of the country had the network connection you'd expect by 2024-- something like symmetric 10Gbps FTTH for $150 per month, and the other 20% was on a "real soon now" waiting list, there's precious little business case for Starlink.

Think about it: It was easier to plan out and deliver DOZENS OF ROCKET LAUNCHES AND A GALAXY OF SATELLITES than to tie down our existing telecom firms until they actually built a decent network, using technology like "backhoes" and "fibre-optic cables" that have existed for decades, cost next to nothing, and don't require literal rocket scientists to deploy.

The American telephone network under Ma Bell was almost a Wonder of the World for its scale, resilience, and universal accessibility-- and in barely one generation we ripped it out and failed to replace it with anything comparable.

I would argue the case there's a marginal case for one modest capacity public data constellation. The business case is basically Iridium warmed over-- for the places where there is no other practical option (ships at sea, completely undeveloped territories)-- you can pay $10 per gigabyte for 128k down, or to support some form of 911 outside of cell ranges. Arguably, we already had the infrastructure for that with the pre-Starlink satellite products (Viasat/Hughesnet)

But we hardly need every major power (and probably a bunch of private competitive duplication) blasting crap into space to make the deluxe version that's still not as good as a fibre running to your home.
I actually like javascript.

I want types, like typescript, but instead of compilation, there should be a "boot type check" which does about the same checks as tsc, but the types should be first-class, available at runtime, so I can pass them around, create, read, update and delete them at runtime.

I want runtime code creation that is more robust than creating source-code as strings and then compiling them, I want first-class code-as-data like in LISP. I want to be able to define some blocks of code, and conditionally combine them the new blocks which I can compile to functions.
I want to be able to derive functions that is more, less or different from their parents (for example, removing or replacing a number of its statements) (basically, I want to have enough control that I can chose a pattern of generating ideal callbacks with no conditionals)

I want to be able to express (I use % for lack of a better idea right now, this is the type-safe version of the syntax))

const someBlock = (a: number, b:string)=%{ console.log(a+2+c); }

And pass it to a function: myFunc(1, someBlock, 3);

(and someblock should be able to use it:
function someFunc( aBlock: % ) {
const a = 1;
const c = 3;
someblock;
}

I want better introspection, if I pass a function, there's no reasonable, robust and performant way to reason about that function.. You can't access its parameter list to learn the names of its parameters, their type or number, you can't access its body to learn what it does, you can't even see its return type, to determine what to do with its result, mind you, most of this metadata is already present in the js runtime, just not exposed in a good way to the language.. You can't even access the ast.
My apologies, I should have been more deliberate:

The cause of peace will be hindered, but this won't entirely be Trump's (or Harris's in another timeline) fault because Biden already missed the boat on this at least two years ago. You can't board a boat that already left port.

The consequences of warmongering are meaningless economical and political sanctions, and a halfassed proxy war from the sanctioning side; this is set in stone now and there's no going back. Peace is actually valued quite low despite narratives to the contrary, as it turned out.

About finding fascinating hand scribbled notes from books of the past ...

I discovered this in a scanned collection of old books maintained by our government ministry of culture ...

> The undergrad populations of the top universities (Ivy league and similar) have hardly grown over the decades despite a large increase in student population overall in the US

Why should we expect individual universities to scale up their class sizes proportional to the student population in the US? Some universities may choose to, and new universities could spin up to serve the increased student body, but I don't see a compelling reason to argue that any given university should scale up just because college has (somewhat arbitrarily) become the default path for the entire middle class.

There's nothing wrong with MIT wanting to stay small, and it's not necessarily a conspiracy to build exclusive brands. They could also just recognize that their system won't scale up to an order of magnitude more students.

Stability doesn't mean statis. The USA has been remarkably resilient to those minor shocks you listed. It continues to be the most politically stable of all the countries that actually count for anything in international affairs.
Is Autotab able to scrape data from multiple websites with different structures and combine this data into structured data in one CSV or JSON file?

I'm in the same position with Linux. I'm back on Windows as a daily driver for the first time in about 12 years. WSL2 makes this more pleasant than I expected.

There are a few reasons for this. The first is hardware support; I bought a ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 AMD, which is almost a perfect Linux machine save for a whole bunch of bugs in the amdgpu driver that I'm not willing to live with. This is always a risk when you buy recent hardware.

The second is that no mainstream Linux distribution does secure boot or disk encryption very well, and that's not something I can do without on a portable machine in this day and age. Fedora is moving in the right direction quickly with UKI[1] and SED[2] support, but it's not there yet.

Apparently, x86-64 has:

981 unique mnemonics
3684 instruction variants

Since the architecture and instruction set has been evolving for decades, I often wonder whether the compiler is generating code for some lowly common denominator. If a sufficiently smart compiler were to compile code for the developer's most current CPU, the code will need to be recompiled for lesser systems.

ARM architectures are getting instruction set bloat and RISC-V is also tending that way with many variants being produced.

I prefer minimal syntax, e.g. Lisp, Smalltalk, Self. Then let the abstractions be plugged in with appropriate compiler support. I find the idea of blessed built-in types constrain implementation designs due to their prevalence.

Confused by this approach, people want to write in interpreted languages and have it compiled with an LLM?

How would you do things like dynamic code execution or reflection? Lots of properties are stripped as part of the compilation that you wouldn't be able to refer back to.

Are you just saying write python -> interpret it -> compile it -> convert to assembly? Because I believe that already exists, but is difficult to just do that all the time because of the compile step and having to convert to static typing

I've been working on an AI-driven development vision, building on the "System of Agents" concept discussed in the article.

The key insight is that to achieve truly automated development, we need AI agents across the entire development lifecycle - not just in isolated tasks.

Our system implements a "Retrieval Augmented - Complex Coding Task accomplishment loop" with:
- Multiple LLM-based agents handling different aspects of development
- A Task and State Management System for agent coordination
- Dual knowledge retrieval combining self-repository learning and GitHub public knowledge
- Integrated development tools library (editing, testing, deployment) orchestrated through multi-agent collaboration

The key differentiator is the holistic integration - every step from initial development to deployment is agent-aware and interconnected. This creates a true "Service-as-Software" development environment where AI doesn't just assist, but actively drives the development process.

We're seeing promising results in automated code generation, self-healing test suites, and intelligent CI/CD pipelines that learn from deployment patterns.

Would love to hear thoughts from the community, especially from those working on similar full-lifecycle automation approaches.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean a 1:1 correlation in 50% on a Dexa means 50% more strength, just would expect my lifting ability to go down if I lost muscle mass (or if it were water weight to begin with). Neither have decreased much if at all during breaks, so I’m fairly convinced it’s “real” so to speak.

Looking through my weightlifting app my best tracked exercise (leg press) increased about 250% from start with a 60% (roughly, speaking from memory) increase in lean muscle mass as measured by a DEXA scan. If I remember when back from dog walks tonight I’ll update that with a real number off the actual data.

I was a total newb at lifting though, so those early gains came quite quickly.

I am curious as this is a concern I have for long term health.

An interesting paper suggesting that while LLMs produce seemingly human-like output, they use very un-human-like computational approaches with significant weaknesses.

Suggesting that, while they are not stochastic parrots - they're nowhere near human level intelligence yet.

> ...in this work we tested 7 state-of-the-art LLMs on simple comprehension questions targeting short sentences, purposefully setting an extremely low bar for the evaluation of the models.

> Systematic testing showed that the performance of these LLMs lags behind that of humans both quantitatively and qualitatively, providing further confirmation that tasks that are easy for humans are not always easily developed in AI. We argue that these results invite further reflection about the standards of evaluation we adopt for claiming human-likeness in AI.

> Franck read to himself and John read to himself, Anthony and Franck. In this context, was Franck read to?

I’ve been messing around with sql and stream processing off and on the last few months via https://github.com/zmaril/bpfquery and then https://github.com/zmaril/zquery, so I very much feel this comment. I didn’t want to build out my own stream processing architecture in bpfquery, it was getting pretty tough pretty fast, so I switched over to a datafusion backend in zquery in the hopes that it could do stream processing well. It can handle static data really well, much better the home grown half engine I made in bpfquery, but streaming sql isn’t easily possible at the moment, everybody is building their own implementations and trying to upstream what they need, no coherent whole from data fusion. I was looking into making an attempt with arroyo sometime, but I think the authors want that code to be used as a standalone binary and not as a library in something else, based on my last impression of it a while back. So, maybe in a few years it’ll be as easy to make a streaming database as it is now to make a normal one, but that’s not the case currently.
Honestly I'm intrigued on why you don't rate LLM. Arguably the main reason AI got out from its winter is the emergence of LLM.
