> You can never, ever stop taking it.

You can't stop taking it without gaining the weight back (unless the lifestyle change sticks), but everybody stops taking it in the medium term. The side effects are horrible and stack up over time.

We'll start seeing the miserable condition of very long-term users (or maybe, hopefully, their bodies will reach an equilibrium!), and we will be able to use the sacrifice of their health in order to understand how better to counteract the long-term side effects, or to get hints on how to design the next class of miracle weight loss drugs.

I'm never going to take them. There are better ways to lose weight, with no side effects, and they slowly and stably got me from a 28 BMI to a 22 BMI. I will push the people I love towards those rather than to a set of powerful, expensive drugs with wild side effects that somebody invented a week ago. But I am not hostile to the concept in any way.

> There are no shortcuts in life. There is always a tradeoff.

There are an enormous number of shortcuts in life. This is just the Law of Averages as Protestant superstition stated as a pithy self-help maxim. Taking shortcuts rather than going the long way is almost the definition of intelligence. If you see a bunch of points laid out in a rectangle, you can count them one by one, or you can count the ones on the sides and multiply. There's no tradeoff.
"wild" is not defined as as "anyone who doesn't share your perspective".
Counter-proposal: Bring back "thou" as the second person singular pronoun and restore "you" to its rightful place as the second person plural pronoun.

As with so many of English's warts we can blame the French for the situation we're in. Vous in French is used when addressing a single person formally and conveys respect for the addressee. When class and station were more important following the Norman conquest of England, English speakers adopted the use of "you" to address a single person of higher status following the French custom. It's use became more widespread over time lest the speaker offend someone by using "thou" when the addressee thought that "you" was warranted.

As a practical matter, I use y'all. I think thou is a lovely word in its own right and is deserving of consideration.

Emissions inspections are being sunset in more places. Even where they're alive and well, it's gone from an active check with a tailpipe detector and a dynamometer to just plugging into the ODB-II and a visual inspection for unauthorized emission modifications. maybe a check for smoke in neutral when going from idle to full throttle and back.

Americans don't want their cars inspected, so a new inspection criteria is unlikely. For those subject to mandatory safety inspections, it might already be part of the test.
"Y'all" has been common for a while among Anglo-Indians in South India. I was quite surprised when I first went online among the predominantly American early-Internet community and discovered that y'all consider it a peculiarity of the American South. I've always liked it, though I don't use it anymore now that I live in the US (where it is a marker of the South).
As a New Englander, I am quite partial to "y'all" and "you all", mostly in written form. It is indeed a quite capable substitute to "you guys". But to my ear, "yall" is ever so slightly more informal than "you all", and so sometimes it doesn't feel exactly right.

I live in Michigan and my time is spent between two vastly different affluence levels; the richer sides have excruciatingly bright headlights that blind me in my non-tinted Sonata, and the poorer sides are riddled with the droning of modified and/or broken exhausts.

Used to like cars at one point but nowadays I find that my only (okay, only _daily_) grievances in life are noise from cars & driving at night in rich areas, both of which have soured my views on cars.
I believe the Georgian version is different. “Y’all” is singular while “all y’all” is plural.

The error rate is given per bit, not per second, i.e. every few bars represents a distinct DRAM chip. That makes some sense, and the article explains quite well why DRAM would behave like that... but I agree that I had to read the article at least twice to figure out that the x-axis on the graph represents the lower bit of the address line!

Still, it's nice to have at least some modern data; https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/sec08/tech/full_papers/h... is awesome and has much more extensive measurements, but machines from 2007 are somewhat less relevant today.
Interesting synchronicity of seeing this article. I just had an optometrist appointment this morning and my glasses prescription updated/renewed. The only medication I am on is Ozempic for weight management, ~8 months, lost ~40 lbs so far. My old prescription was -1.75 / -1.0 (about 5 years ago), and my new one is -0.5, -0.5. My optometrist said it was unusual but likely due to having blood glucose under control as it changes the blood pressure and shape of your eyes slightly.
> Despite your opening sentence, you didn't disagree with OP.

They certainly did.

coliveira is saying a change in legal language opens up a contract to a reasonably different interpretation in the future. And we know it's reasonable (even likely) because there are myriad historical precedents where such ambiguities were used in the past to win cases against, say, GrantMoyer's Optimized Non-Standard Legal Language Law Offices. By using standard language that specific class of ambiguity issues goes away.

On the other hand, any good faith definition of "superstitious" is a pejorative that holds the belief to be irrational. So when GrantMoyer's Optimized Non-Standard Legal Language Law Offices uses its patent-pending optimized, non-standard language in their contracts, they are throwing out all the superstitious terminology on the basis that nothing bad will actually happen as a result of doing this. (At least, aside from things like random chance or any of the other true reasons that just happen coincide with superstitious falsehoods.) That's a bad idea-- it isn't supported by historical precedent, and it is likelihood to cause predictably bad outcomes in the future.

The only mitigating factor is this weasel sentence:

"Except sometimes the superstitions are right."

But to be generous we must take that to mean only the truism that superstition sometimes coincides with things like random chance. (Otherwise it'd be like saying no one goes to a particular restaurant anymore because it's so crowded, which is funny but incoherent.)

Edit: clarifications. Also, in closing, Your Honor, I call for one of those "bad court thingies." :)
A noble idea, but it should be pointed out that of all of the software ever written on planet Earth, only Ada Lovelace's somewhat notional code for a non-existent machine would be in the public domain in the year 2024. The earliest you would expect to see "modern" code entering the public domain is sometime in the 2060s, and that would be written in Plankalkül.
My opinion: In software, the best use of AI is to create a do-what-I-mean UI. That is so-called AI (more to the point, use of LLMs and vision, speech, and audio processing) can allow new modes of interface that help a user operate the computer and achieve something that was nearly impossible with the user at the raw controls.

This will not produce superior work to someone who knows what they're doing at the controls. A competent programmer doesn't need this. An excellent touch typist doesn't need this. But let's say someone who has a vague idea of what outcome they want, but an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms to get there, can get further with a do-what-I-mean UI.

I’ve been sticking with PhraseMatcher because it’s simple, fast, and predictable—but your suggestion about using smaller BERT-based models or embeddings like SBERT (sentence-transformers) is intriguing. I’ve avoided LLMs so far because of the computational overhead, but it sounds like even lightweight models can provide significant value.

Out of curiosity, when training models like SBERT or even smaller BERT versions, do you see diminishing returns when working with smaller training sets (e.g., a few thousand annotated job descriptions)? My current dataset isn’t huge yet (10k), so I wonder where that line starts to appear.

I’ll definitely look more into SBERT and segmentation approaches—thanks for sharing those!
Argentine here — the US helped the military coup that overthrew democracy in Argentina and waged a "Dirty War" that saw people drugged and thrown out of helicopters. People born in the 70s grew up while that was happening. It's still living memory.

The US (and other western countries) dictate the price of raw material exports, and drain countries like Argentina of the best talent. They dictate freight rates. To the extent western capital is willing to invest in the country, it is to build roads/rails that take raw materials from the countryside to the ports in Buenos Aires so that a small class of bourgeois vendidos can sell out the nation's national wealth like a fire sale.

Macri is beloved by western media because he's willing to let the IMF and Federal Reserve dictate social policy in Argentina. Slash pensions, crush labor power, etc. My family voted for him and now my grandma needs us to send more dollars over so she can afford to live. Lot of parallels IMO to people on public assistance voting for Trump in the US. There were other solutions possible besides austerity.

Do this but with systemd as the init and you've got yourself a new user. No, I don't mind the glibc dependency.

I ended up using Buildroot (with systemd) for some headless in-memory Raspberry Pi project because I was loathing writing init scripts with zero dependency management in Alpine land. But also because, as this blog mentions, Alpine's current "diskless" options are, confusingly, anything but what I (and the author) want: reproducible, build-once-and-forget, fully standalone images with no moving parts. What Alpine gives you instead is an awkward overlay system with some intermediate runtime steps.

>What's illegal in hosting a website anonymously?

In Germany it is straight up illegal. The UK law has provisions where a services has to name a responsible person or report specific things to the government. Obviously those can not be accomplished anonymously. In any case hosting a website anonymously doesn't work if you want to work within the law, any lawsuit against you will identify you.

That is all true, but even if properly aligned, most new cars in the USA have awful headlights with no sharp cutoff line at the top, so there is no way to point them to light the road well while not blinding oncoming drivers.

Moreover, like I mentioned, quite a lot of European cars have systems to automatically align and even steer/shape the beams dynamically, and do not require that type of adjustment.

VW's "dynamic light assist" for example, actively detects oncoming vehicles and dynamically reshapes the lighting pattern to block most of the light going directly towards other vehicles, while still lighting everything else.
That's the what the fascists always say - we lost because of civilians who undermined us. The military is faultless and the only institution you can trust; democracy is weakness.

If you get run over in weeks, you are really stretching to point fingers if you are not looking at the military. If you don't, you end up with a corrupt, incompetent military.

The French were better equipped than the Germans at the outset of the war, in terms of armor, etc., but didn't know how to utilize what they had tactically.
^F prof -> no results.

They should do some profiling. The SQLite team did and found that a lot of cycles are wasted on the variable length encoding of numeric values.

Async I/O is nice though, but you know, the SQLite VM already is capable of co-routines, so injecting asynchrony through that path should be doable.

This seems like a feature and not a bug. Though in your example, it seems like those that would be required to state the reasoning wouldn't have a problem. A partial solution for the coalition issue is that signatories can be connected to the intentions.

I want my politicians speaking more honestly. Or at least having to write things on the record. Things in the system that pressure more honesty, accountability, and transparency are better.

How do I backup my passkeys? I can print out a hard copy of passwords and even 2FA code generator strings, but I haven’t seen an easy way to export and import passkeys. This is a problem.

If it were as simple as printing out a list of QR codes or URL strings I would be happy, but so far no password app I know of supports this.
I'm sure that startup is a great indication of things to come. Bound for long term growth.
For important sites like your email you'll add multiple passkeys. On less important ones you can just reset which passkey you use to login, using your email, if you lose one of your passkeys.
My addition to the wishlist: If changing the language, not only change three labels, but the language of the instructions, too.
Management calls out employees for not using LLMs due to believing that once LLM use becomes prevalent throughout the company, then they'll finally see the productivity gains they are betting on. Only once the productivity gains materialize will they be able to reduce costs/headcount, so until then they'll chastise employees for not using "AI", in the belief that the employees not using LLMs are the missing pieces holding the productivity gains back.

> They are security theater

Passkeys are highly secure compared to passwords. All problems I know of (and there are quite a few!) revolve around availability, not security.

All problems you do write about after this are indeed related to availability, but then you shouldn't call them "security theater".
In Early Modern English, you is inherently plural; the singular form is thou.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou
Passkeys are tied to a DNS name, so unless they were able to take over the DNS of a site, they wouldn't ever even be offered to authenticate the password. Additionally the private key never leaves the device regardless, so if you were tricked to setup a new passkey on a fake site, you'd just end up creating a new Passkey for it and the site would get some new unique public key.
The new second person plural is "chat".

I can't decide if I'm making a joke or not by saying that.

> The French Third Republic was a democracy in which the military was subordinate to the civilian government. Responsibility flows uphill to the people in charge.

Though often used in a gender neutral way, "guys" is definitely more male than "y'all".
I never took that phrase to be reserved for sexual situations - in fact my mom used to use it with me all the time over toys, ice cream, etc. "Come ON, PLEEEASE?!" "No means no..."

I think it's a phrase that is often applied in sexual situations, but not intended to be exclusive to them.
There is no "authorize a new device" for passkeys. You'd need to actually run the "register new passkey" or "authenticate using passkey" flows on the attacker's device.

That's why they are so much more secure than passwords and even TOTP or "click approve to authenticate" flows!

The passkey on the MITM site could not be used with the original site if they were on different domains. If the MITM site is on the same domain as the original site, then either you've compromised the original site or you've got in-roads with a trusted CA to fool the browser into accepting your cert, and passkeys don't protect against those.

You are not wrong. Starving yourself works, obviously. What doesn't work is maintaining people in a state of starvation. It becomes extremely hard if there are other tasks stealing focus (for example, work), or if you have a high basal metabolic rate, or if you have diabetes, etc.
Some sets have a canonical partition. If you're referring to a set of birds or a set of fish, then the correct usage is y'all because those sets canonically partition into themselves.

But if you're referring to a set of birds and fish together, then the usage is "all y'all" because the canonical partition yields more than one subset (one containing birds, and one containing fish). The distinction helps differentiate between whether you mean the superset or one of those subsets.

It works with any other partition which might be obvious (not just birds and fish). If you have two families together, you might avoid "see y'all later" because it could be interpreted that you only expect to see one family later. "see all y'all later", by contrast is unabiguous--you mean both families.
