> I was heading to Boston from New York. On my way I passed six clerks, each clerk had six socks, and in each sock there were six skinks and each skink had six sticks. How many were going to Boston?

The answer is... "I" was going to Boston! The question asks how many were going to Boston, and the answer is the person being referred to, which is "I". The rest of the information about the clerks, socks, skinks, and sticks is just a clever distraction!

The problem with exercise is everything in modern life is set up to discourage it. The economy is all about paying money to make your life easier. We design our cities to require cars. Work schedules and commutes eat into free time. Screen based entertainment displaces more active pastimes, etc.

Then our body instinctively hoards calories like a squirrel hoards nuts, because evolution takes thousands to millions of years and this era of abundant calories and sedentary lifestyles emerged in the last few decades.

It doesn't matter how potent it is if nobody wants to take it.
There is this really useful word, immanence, that I wish were more widely known. Basically it means “focused on this world and human experience.”

I learned this in A Secular Age, a fantastic book by the philosopher Charles Taylor. Basically the book is about how modern western society is increasingly immanent, focused on this reality and not on what is after life; e. g., heaven and hell, punishments and rewards after life, personal experience after death, and so on.

I bring this up because I think a decent working definition of spirituality is how one navigates this immanent situation. It seems to me that there quite likely is something beyond the bounds of human experience, but we aren’t quite sure what it is. A successful version of spirituality, to me, would be a way of navigating this situation in such a way that is psychologically healthy and philosophically justifiable. Simply denying existence outside of human frames seems like a denial of reality.

Remember it's a lot easier to visualize these numbers if you take the cube or square root. A trillion is 10^12 which is 10^4 cubed or 10^6 squared. That means a cube with 10,000 items along each dimension, or a square with a million items on each dimension.

> You put orders in quotes, but that’s what they are called, because it is illegal and inaccurate to call them warrants, because warrants per 4A are issued only upon probable cause.

Orders authorizing foreign intelligence surveillance purposes under FISA are warrants, and are often called warrants, and they, like all warrants, are issued only on probable cause. (It is not improper to call them “orders”, and they are often referred to that way, as well, it is just less specific; all warrants are [court] orders, but not all court orders, much less all orders more generally, are warrants.)

https://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/autho...:

—quote—

Subchapter I of FISA established procedures for the conduct of foreign intelligence surveillance and created the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). The Department of Justice must apply to the FISC to obtain a warrant authorizing electronic surveillance of foreign agents. For targets that are U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, and U.S. corporations), FISA requires heightened requirements in some instances.

* Unlike domestic criminal surveillance warrants issued under Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (the “Wiretap Act”) , agents need to demonstrate probable cause to believe that the “target of the surveillance is a foreign power or agent of a foreign power,” that “a significant purpose” of the surveillance is to obtain “foreign intelligence information,” and that appropriate “minimization procedures” are in place. 50 U.S.C. § 1804.

* Agents do not need to demonstrate that commission of a crime is imminent.

* For purposes of FISA, agents of foreign powers include agents of foreign political organizations and groups engaged in international terrorism, as well as agents of foreign nations. 50 U.S.C. § 1801

In my experience, once teachers retire or move on, or a course gets mothballed, it's only a matter of time for course websites disappear or become non-functional.

If the course website was even on the open web to begin with. If they're in some university content management system (CMS), chances are that access is limited to students and teachers of that university and the CMS gets "cleaned" regularly by removing old and "unused" content. Let alone what will happen when the CMS is replaced by another after a couple of years.

Sadly in the first minute after the run a milkshake will add back 400 calories.

The insane efficiency of the body is the problem.

30 minutes of agony -- the jog -- can be thrown out the window with literally one minute (60 seconds) of overeating.

That's why I think exercise plus GLP-1 medications once a year might be the future gold standard for weight loss and maintenance.

Any thoughts on GLP-1 meds being the game changer we need?
Shouldn't we know if we're talking to a reason person or not.
Ahh, yeah you’re right. My bad. Litestream was what I was thinking of.
Ask anyone who has been obese and subsequently lost weight and they'll tell you the same thing. Eating less is both a sufficient and necessary condition to losing weight. Exercise is neither sufficient nor necessary because the caloric surplus these people are on significantly exceeds the amount that you can practically burn through exercise. While you're right that exercise can help on the margin, it's just not a useful intervention that moves the needle much as far as weight loss goes.

osdev.org is still one of the greats, but in general you're right, they seem to be getting rarer for new projects.
If you exersize a lot, your body will ask for a lot more food. Your body does not want to starve, and using a bunch of calories without replacement leads to that result.

At some point you have to control your diet. But, if you can control your diet, the exersize clearly isn't a requirement.
It's still 400 calories deficit regardless

> With GLP-1 doesn’t this change the calculus?

GLP-1 agonists are not exercise and thus using them would not change the calculus on how common it is to lose “significant weight and actually [keep] it off permanently through exercise.”

Nor does their availability change the validity of GP’s advice.
I think we actually need more bots discussing politics online. Specifically, we need echo chambers to be replaced by cacophony chambers.

The only way to salvage democracy is to bring it back offline. Online, it was undermined by troll farms pulling the strings in favor of certain shady factions. It's time for the good guys to get their hands dirty and break the spell. Trolls cannot be silenced, but they can be offset.
That's why I feel GLP-1 meds are the game changer we need.

Our bodies are insanely efficient at using and saving energy.

They fact that I can walk for an hour or more on the calories from a single snickers bar is depressing. Ha.

And the body is convinced a calorie shortage is around the corner, but in modern society calorie shortages never occur.

I think GLP-1 medications, and other medications that attack hunger signals at the source are the only viable long term solution.
This is the lovely type of page Google used to surface when you needed to learn something. This was the internet.

It’s different now. HN is the only place I know how to stumble on this type of thing now.
You can also train yourself on how you eat. When I was eating a Keto type diet, I was surprised at how my feelings of hunger between meals (two a day spaced at 8 hours between) disappeared. And how my tastes largely changed so that I didn't want other foods. However, it was easy to slide if I let it. Training back to the old was easier than training to Keto. I switch was just enough that I didn't have to keep myself in line with total discipline. But the path to sliding was still staring at me.

So, people don't necessarily need to diet. They need to train their appetite just like they train their body.

You could type in the whole name but it works matches by substring.
If we fundementally cannot know then why are we believing these claimant "persons" at all? These days it's more likely than not that a DMCA claim is not from the copyright owner (or anyone associated with the owner) of what is claimed. It seems like DMCA is broken in practice and no longer operates in the spirit of the law.

I'm envisioning a system where someone has to prove they actually own the thing before they can claim it, yes. And if proving identity is so hard then maybe there shouldn't be take-downs at all. Let the legal system where identification is required take over. Stop the hundreds of millions of automated para-legal attacks and make it a more managable flood of hundreds of thousands of actual legal actions.

And yes, KYC is extremely burdensome. I suppose when a DMCA claim arrives the recipient should then send back an email with a link to some third party corporation dedicated to KYC (out of a set of government approved companies) which the DMCA claimant will sign up with and pay a small fee to. Most likely the claimaint will have to have a webcam conversation with the KYC company and upload their identifying documents. The result of the identity and ownership check would then be sent to both parties and the process could proceed as per normal.

This would strongly discourage illegal false claims which currently have no mitigation and make up the majority of DMCA actions.

> The feds recently convicted a guy by arguing a piece of metal (basically a metal business card) with a drawing of a machine gun conversion device on, as having sold machine guns.

I feel you're grossly and purposely misrepresenting the case.

The case you're referring to was over unregistered machine-gun conversion devices. The guy was selling them online and was caught with over a thousand machine-gun conversion kits.

What makes this case noteworthy is the dissimulated way kits were being marketed and sold, such as bottle openers, pen holders, or business cards.

The guy also marketed his machine-gun conversion kits as an AR-related device and "the parts ATF wishes never existed".

I believe you are well-aware of this fact. Yet, you chose to misrepresent it.

That’s usually what happens when news orgs only report confirmed information, e.g. “Trump hit by projectile”. It feels misleading but it’s accurate at the time.

If you’re literally saying they were specifically stating he was hit by something “not directed at him” (as opposed to “not confirmed whether it was directed at him”) I’d be fascinated to see some examples.

I don't know what the heck that means (clicking on the article didn't illuminate it for me, sorry) but Wikis that their maintainers have lost interest in become overrun by spam pretty quickly and if they just disable edits instead it's not any more useful than a blog (arguably worse since a blog post is at least intended to be tied to a specific moment in time while Wiki articles are meant to be eternally current).

> The brief period of liberal democracy didn't work out. (Very like the Kerensky period in 1917). Trying to transition to postmodern capitalism did not work out well at all.

Note that this happened to most post-communist countries. 90s were uniformly bad, in the 00s things started to get better. The troubles likely don't have much to do with the liberal democracy as such, but with the transition of the economic system.

> Arguably. Russia's most successful period since the mid 19th century was under Communism.

The early decades were indeed quite impressive (transformed an agrarian country into an industrial powerhouse), but they did not manage to keep up the momentum, and it's questionable whether it was even possible with the planned economy.
