Perhaps, perhaps not - I have my theories, but is that not what you meant when you said Pokemon Go was built on the same engine as Ingress?

I do think it wasn't until after Pokemon Go launched and they saw the success of it, that they shifted focus to be more of a platform for these types of experiences (see Niantic Lightship). Additionally, I think Unity offered them the opportunity to integrate with ARCore and collect much more detailed data than they would've ever been able to do on the old Ingress engine. In fact, I expect a significant chunk of ARCore functionality was added specifically thanks to Niantic and Unity (in fact, you see Unity mentioned all over the Google Developer docs for it).
On the other hand, being overweight takes years off your life:

"Specifically, we found that BMIs from 40 to 44 were associated with 6.5 years of life lost, but this increased to 8.9 for BMIs from 45 to 49, 9.8 for BMIs from 50 to 54, and 13.7 for BMIs from 55 to 59."

I think for some people the roi is measurable and reasonable.

They, in turn, will destroy ours, and then you have basically caused the same outcome as Kessler syndrome: nobody can launch things to space.
I've seen it happen with people even prior to the GLP-1s - prior to an injury derailing my last attempt to lose weight, I lost 30lb at an even faster rate and had 3 DEXA scans showing consistent increases in LBM.

This conversation does make me wonder about whether or not it would make sense to make the option available for people to go on exogenous testosterone (and yes potentially even women) while on these to help prevent muscle loss.
You technically could but the idea here is to cut the excess bodyfat percent and get into the healthy range, rather than to keep losing weight, which itself is also unhealthy, but once you become dependent on the drugs to maintain your weight, without fixing your habits, you will just go between getting off the drug, binge eating, gaining the weight back, and hoping back on the drug and losing weight while barely eating, I can't imagine bouncing between such two extremities being good for your health.

I was contacted by someone in another country and we agreed to do it on an escrow site. Worked out fine, made some money (tbh probably not much given how many years I had held on to it). I have not tried purposely selling on other sites.
This is only tuition though. Using their estimates you would still be expected to spend $30k/yr

And it will continue to happen and nothing can be done about it. Except global nuclear war, I suppose. That's not off the table.
Not sure how much I lost during, but a substantial amount. I have been working out since about 20lbs from my goal weight and now roughly a year later - and have gained strength (based on the numbers I can lift) from before I lost 100lbs.

I don’t think it would have been possible to not lose substantial muscle mass while rapidly losing 100lbs over 9mo, even with extreme resistance training added to the mix. While DEXA scans are not super accurate, I’ve put on about 17lbs of muscle since my first scan 10mo ago, while maintaining a 12% or less bodyfat ratio.

That said, I’ve been eating extremely healthy both before and after being on the drug which helps a lot. The drug simply gave me the mental space to avoid the binges which were my particular problem. That and it controls portion sizes to European dinner vs. American restaurant sized meals for me.
Can’t you just adjust the dosage to stabilize?

As long as you can run a modern browser, how so? FIDO2 is pretty well supported everywhere these days, though of course you don't get a platform authenticator like macOS keychain or Windows Hello.
K. But getting to a healthy weight by means of discipline and self control has a ~1% success rate[1]. That's dismal.

I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing the drugs over dying early.

While the decline is not universal, shrinking parishes is itself a reason to sell older and more ornate churches and either build smaller strip mall ones, or merging several parishes into big expo center ones.

Of course it only adds to the decline when the hierarchy builds as if going to Mass is no different from a trip to the mall or seeing a show.

There’s also the hypothesis that if the Church gets prestigious awards for their avant-garde architecture people will finally start liking the Church again.
Well, lots of people back off those dosages once they reach their goal weight and have minimal difficulty maintaining. As we know more about the long term effects of staying on the drug, it's totally possible it might make sense just to keep on it.

But as someone who spent a good chunk of their early adulthood having no problem with healthy habits and then slowly slipping into tons of bad ones, getting on tirzepatide has made it as easy for me to make those healthy choices that I made when I was in my 20s. Ones that I struggled with mightily after I got fat.

Hopefully more and more people will use them as a tool to help them get things back and order and then stay there, whether or not they keep taking it.
that's nice, but it's become nearly as difficult to get into MIT as winning the lottery

The MIT undergraduate student body is about the same as it was in 1960, but the number of applications rose from around 4000 in 1960 to 11000 in 2000, to 20000 in 2024.

This isn't just an MIT problem. 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, not to mention the very large increase in foreign students over the past 25 years. This is by design to create increasingly exclusive brands.

Most kill you. If I didn't misread articles on ozempic, they can cause digestive problems where food rots in your stomach. Bad depression was another side effect which blows my mind since you'd think looking better would make you feel great. And these were the minor things.
Reminds me of the novel The Adversary by Emmanuel Carrère.

I have worked with people who got away with this. One guy said he had some severe disorder that prevented him attending meetings or even talking directly to people for more than a few minutes. He worked from the network closet (seriously). He almost never responded to emails or other communication, and when asked about his progress would say he had other more important things to do, without elaborating. Normal human empathy, and probably worries about ADA lawsuits, meant that everyone just left him alone, apparently to do nothing.

Another guy got hired as a junior and stayed in perpetual onboarding mode, asking for help and mentoring but never producing anything. He seemed friendly and eager, but just never lifted off. That went on for over a year, with the rest of the team and the managers trying to help him get up to speed. Again no one wanted to call the guy out because he seemed sincere in wanting to participate. Eventually he got laid off, and only then did we find out that he had done the same thing at his previous job -- his former manager gave him a glowing reference just to get rid of him.

I think a variation of this gets called the "expert beginner," a person who gets into a loop with their skill development, stuck and never able to move forward with the rest of the team. If lucky they get put on legacy support duty, fixing old dusty code that no one cares about and the rest of the business has routed around, so they look busy but have no clear performance metrics or deliverables anyone cares about.

I had a manager once who seemed to always have other things to do. He would disappear all day, tell us he was off-site at the distribution center or a meeting or something. He cleverly delegated his work, and then took credit for successes (but never any blame for failures). Turned out he spent that time building a recording studio in his home and making rock music demos. I went to lunch with him once, that lasted over four hours because we went to two guitar stores after a long meal.
> Perhaps this is just my own brain's degradation, but how far removed from society do you need to be to expect your purchases to not be sold to the highest bidder? This practice is certainly older than I am.

It depends quite a bit on how you make your purchases.

If your purchases are on a credit card, with a loyalty ("tracking") card or App(TM) involved in the purchase? They're absolutely being sold to... well, probably not the highest bidder, but "all bidders with a valid payment account on file."

If you make a habit of paying cash for things and not using Apps or loyalty cards, and don't have your pocket beacon blaring loudly away on a range of radio frequencies when you shop, I expect a lot less data sales. It's a bit of a transition if you're used to credit cards, but once you're used to it, it's not bad at all, and involves a lot less data collection. I don't mind if the local barista or bartender knows me and my preferences, but I do mind if their POS system is uploading that data continuously.
Yes, you can. Or most people can. It’s called a maintenance dose and is usually the minimum dose available for the particular drug you are on.

As these become more common and doctors more aware, the dosing guidelines will become much more nuanced and dialed in.

There seems another way to achieve this, using Cloudflare's own cloudflared tunnel.

Install a cloudflared tunnel on your remote server, configure it to forward traffic to that server's hosts proxy server(maybe Shadowsocks) using Zero Trust dashboard, and run the following command on your local computer:

cloudflared access tcp --hostname some.your-domain.tld --url localhost:8080

Then localhost:8080's traffic will be forwarded to cloudflareds' host, the whole traffic is using HTTP2 so might look legitimate to Firewall.

For example if using Shadowsocks on server, your Shadowsocks's local client can connect to localhost:8080 as server to forward traffic.

Very interesting perspective I hadn't heard before on datalog, thanks. How far does it go - can you interpret extensions of datalog (say negation or constrained existentials) in a nice categorical way, for instance? I've given this very little thought but I imagine you'd have issues with uniqueness of these "minimal" database instances, and I'm not sure what that means for these lifting properties.

(if my question even makes sense, pardon the ignorance)
It's not really something new; most top universities like CMU already have a similar policy. MIT has had it as well, they just raised the threshold for qualification.

I assume you mean gastroparesis - this is an extremely rare side effect

Again, pretty rare side effect.

If you think these are the minor things I'm confused as to what you think the major side effects are.

Does ability to lift weight also decrease in about a week? I was recently out of town for over two weeks and came back with the ability to lift roughly the same amount I was able to prior to leaving.

My DEXA scans seem roughly correlated with the amount of weight I can do in my regular sets, which has increased about 50-70% depending on which muscle group you are talking about.

This is with heavy resistance training 3 times a week and Pilates once a week.

100% agree with this. Every kid in the 2000s pirated Adobe software. It was almost a badge of honor to have every Adobe icon on your desktop.

These kids learned the Adobe suite and probably became professionals as a result, then purchasing the software legally for their entire company. Piracy isn’t bad, in fact, it probably makes these companies money in many cases.

At some point can we agree that if we don't pay anything for something and we experience something fun, it's ok for the company to get something for investing millions of dollars in creating the experience for us in return?

If you weren't aware until now and were having fun is this outcome so bad? Did you have a work contract with this company to provide labor for wages and they didn't pay you? if not, then I don't think you can be upset that they are possibly profiting from your "labor".

Every time we visit a site that is free, which means 99.9% of all websites, that website bore a cost for our visit. Sometimes they show us ads which sometimes offsets the cost of creating the content and hosting it.

I am personally very glad with this arrangement. If a site is too ad filled, I just leave immediately.

With a game that is free and fun, I would be happy that I didn't have to pay anything and that the creator figured out a way for both parties to get something out of the deal. Isn't that a win-win situation?

Also, calling your experience "labor" when you were presumably having fun (if you weren't then why were you playing without expectation for payment in return?) is disingenuous.

At some point we need to be realistic about the world in which we live. Companies provide things for free or for money. If they provide something for "free", then we can't really expect to be compensated for our "labor" playing the game and that yes, the company is probably trying to figure out how to recoup their investment.

It's surprising because I thought Nix users were more discerning and not caught up in binary thinking. Just because it's overhyped doesn't mean it doesn't have any uses or should be rejected completely.

Some many years ago some people collected some negative traits to describe the foibles of people. Unfortunately, these negatives seem to dominate much of the news:

Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth.

Sadly, when I was a postdoc, an eminent mathematician I was working under once shared a story that he found amusing that one of his colleagues was once asked a question in the form: "This might be a stupid question, but..." and the response was "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people."

Run into too many people like that, who I daresay are common in the field, and it's easy to see how people become dispirited and give up.
I don't think you realize the amount of people have taken Ozempic or similar drug. I'm lucky enough that I haven't had issues with body weight, but if I believe the stats (and my observations in real world confirm it), about 15% of adults are on it.

If it was "killing people", we would be seeing it literally everywhere. We're not talking about a small scale 50K+ observation... we're talking about literal millions.

Thank you for this comment; articles on the rising costs of college almost always uncritically treat it like a law of nature, and rarely have I seen articles that attempt to study in-depth the extent to which college administrations have become bloated, self-perpetuating jobs programs. All while at the same time departments are cut, professors are expected to do more with less, and more and more classes are pushed on to adjunct faculty who get paid a pittance. Until this is addressed, any efforts to improve the ways in which students finance their education is just a band-aid.
Followed one of the links in your article and ended up unexpectedly watching a video review of different types of canned fish (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rymwqxBkxus). Wasn't expecting that, but I must say I did rather enjoy it.
A good portion of the strength related to any specific lift is CNS adaptation up until a certain point (and most new lifters won't hit that threshold for quite some time), so strength on a lift you've been doing regularly isn't necessarily a good indicator. Building muscle will of course increase your strength too, but I've doubled my squat since getting back into lifting while certainly not doubling the muscle mass of the respective muscles.

Eventually by using the component model which will expose the DOM API. It will get to direct wasm to WebIDL calls one day:

https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model

The component model is being used for the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). WASI provides operating system integration for wasm applications outside the browser:

https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/tree/main

In the meantime you can use JavaScript glue code auto-generated by your toolchain to access the DOM. This will be made better with builtins like the js-string-builtins proposal:

https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-string-builtins/blob/main/...

You can call JavaScript functions and DOM methods from wasm like this example from Hoot, which is a Scheme to wasm compiler:

Cepstrum Analysis
For people who've dealt with children a lot, sure. But making an exchange and then expecting a cut of the other side's profits on top of what you exchanged for is possibly the definition of unreasonable expectations.
I’m really excited for where this is going. From the demo videos, it seems to be a step up from Oasis, which itself came out only 2 weeks ago. I expect to see a lot of innovative use cases in this field
Exactly! Everyone thought that the exchange was them doing something in the game, and Niantic was giving them the rewards in the game, and no one had any reasonable expectation that Niantic would get more outside of the game. (After all, neither Blizzard or Square get anything when one completes quest objectives in their MMO.)

So obviously, now that Niantic is getting things outside the game its reasonable the people who did the work ask for something from that.
