> being overweight will be a choice (choosing not to take the drug)

This may be an ignorant take and if it is I apologize, but isn't it a choice anyway? A calorie deficit and minimal exercise will have you cutting body fat. Or am I missing something here?
I’ve been on it for over 2 years now. Yes you plateau, and if you go off of it (as I had periodically), you will regain weight. Hoping my weight loss resumes now that I’m back to the maximum dosage for a few weeks. As it’s 5pm and I just ate for the first time today, I can confidently confirm that my appetite is well suppressed.
It’ll enable mass surveillance, and hence it is the wet dream of authoritarian governments like China.

They can intercept every call and every message now, but they can’t read it all or build a file on a billion citizens. Human intelligence doesn’t scale, but AI inference does.

In the very near future (maybe the present!) every call will be listened in by an AI with a system message along the lines of “Report any anti-government or potentially rebellious behaviour. Summarise the conversation for each party and add it to their permanent file.”
I didn’t grow up hearing that the U.S. was inherently evil.

I learned the messy, unfiltered history of an imperfect country—one built on a Constitution that has kept it going and evolving for nearly 250 years.

That same Constitution, which originally allowed slavery, also provided the legal framework to end it and later secure civil rights. In the early 20th century, it was amended to guarantee women the right to vote.

I was never taught that the U.S. was always a just and noble nation, nor that the founders were infallible. But I also wasn’t taught that the country was irredeemable.

Our best feature has always been our willingness to redeem ourselves by continually remaking ourselves rather tethering ourselves to our past wrongs. The fact that our constitution has multiple provisions for doing exactly this has always been its most impressive feature.

A society that can’t learn and accept the good and the bad of its history is a society doomed to stagnation -- morally, intellectually, and economically.

Oddly, trying to occasionally place on the Advent of Code global leaderboard was the thing that got me most fluent in Python as its own language.

Before that, I tended to write Python in a much more imperative style, since C++ is my main language; think for loops and appending to lists. Thanks to AoC, I'm now addicted to comprehensions for transforming and filtering, know the standard library cold, and write much more concise, Pythonic code.
With decent equipment, cassettes sound fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVoSQP2yUYA

I have a problem with many text replacement systems. Enough that I turn every one off (still can't figure out iPhone [0]). The major problem is it'll replace a word and I'm typing so don't notice and help going only to go back. All under a second. Beginning the next word appears to reinforce the prior words appearance. So now "and" I always type manually because it always appears as "ABs" "Ave" or something else. Words which are far less[1] common. It increases my workload, not decreases.

[0] Apple settings make no sense. How do I still get two word replacements (see [1]) when I turned off autocorrect? Predictive text? Check spelling? I've tried them all! And why the fuck does "auto capitalize" not capitalize the letter i? It's so prolific you can identify an iPhone user by that single error. How the fuck does no one think to fix this?

[1] "far" was accidentally swiped as "fast" then as I typed "less" it became "day less". Stop changing two words! 95% of the time it is erroneously changing a word. 4% of the time it's a case like this where the first word was wrong anyways but never gets the right word. Give me a prompt to change and let me accept, not force this on me. Idk, a blue squiggle. Jesus fuck, why is trying on a phone harder than it was a decade ago when swipe was introduced?!

Obesity causes many health problems, but it's also a symptom - of our poor relationship with food, of the way American society is set up around instant gratification, of the predatory nature of food manufacturers.

Though treating the symptom is undeniably good, it also lets the deeper problems that lead to it go unchecked, and my fear is that it will lead to novel problems down the line. How recreational drugs are being replaced by social media is a good example of this; less harm to the body, undeniably good, but still harmful to the mind, and enabling new industries to pop up and find new ways to exploit people.

To be clear my problems aren't with Ozempic, and I believe it should be researched further and, if safe (which seems to be the case), widely available. But the fact is that many nations are able to maintain healthy weight without drugs, and I think if we fail to continue asking why that is, the same societal patterns that led to self-destructive individual behavior in the first place will remain unaddressed.
Woman dies after being impaled by metal straw (2019)
This reminds me of the historical period when London and Berlin were the two technology centers of the world, in intense competition to develop the next generation of math, science, and applications to military. Most scientists in one country did not read the output of the other country, although in some cases, the Danes or the Dutch would translate interesting research.

A scientist from London visiting Berlin (and vice versa) could well expect to be surveilled by the opposite country and possibly even considered a traitor by their own.
I think they’re intellectually incurious rather than deficient. They’re not dumb people. But they’re so convinced of their own genius that despite knowing nothing about how government actually works they are still convinced they know how to fix it.
1. There isn't anywhere. DeepSeek is open source to salt the earth and gain ecosystem advantage. It's a ridiculously smart move that yanks the leading players back to the ground right as they're about to take off into the stratosphere.

2. Big tech has managed to profit off of open source, yet only give the pieces they want others to maintain back. None of the value pieces are open sourced. Open source authors need to start using licenses with bigger fangs. Licenses with MAU/ARR cutoffs.

You're right, but it's also why vibe coding doesn't work IMHO.

We had the same situation with TDD: can we give out succinct specs and ignore what happens in the code if the specs are met ? For anything beside Hello world, the answer was no, absolutely not.

It still mattered that the logic was somewhat reasonable and you were not building a Rube Goldberg machine giving the right answers to the given tests 95% of the time. Especially as the tests didn't cover all the valid input/output nor all the possible error cases in the problem space.

It's because there's a lot happening that we need to have simple blocks that we can trust and not black boxes that were already beyond our understanding.

Anecdotally (but in line with what I read about this), I got gallstones after getting rid of 30 kgs in about 6 months, which is too fast for losing a third of your body weight. Since I had a scan before starting the diet for unrelated reasons, I'm sure they weren't there before.
It's not a backdoor.

Caravel is fully open source. You can audit it. There is no ROM (except for a project ID), just 1.5KB of RAM, a CPU, a few peripherals and (most importantly) the pad ring.

Caravel is a (questionable) attempt to lower the barriers of entry to silicon design, both the cost and required skill.

It lowers cost, because every single chip on the MPW is the same size, and can be tested with a common interface. They can test the RISC-V core and pad ring to get a good indication of the die quality (theoretically they can upload user-submitted code to test the actual design, but I don't think have implemented that), and only package up the highest quality dies that are most likely to work.

It lowers required skill, because the user doesn't have to worry about getting the pad ring right. When they receive their chip, they are guaranteed to have a working RISC-V core, and caravel provides a bunch of logic analyser probes you can hook directly into your design to debug why it's not working.

It also meant anyone who actually wanted a CPU core in their design got something that was guaranteed to work and easy to integrate.

The Caravel harness makes it very clear what the target market for the eFabless product is. It's not for end products, you only get a few chips. It's for people, especially hobbyists to learn how to do silicon design. (Though, IMO it's nowhere near cheap enough for that target market.)

If you want an actual end product, you should be contracting either with eFabless or directly with Skywater for a full wafer with a custom pad ring.

Most of these studies use BMI which doesn't differentiate between muscle mass and fat. The number is likely much lower. Additionally, your numbers are off. I think you are looking at the number of people considered overweight, not obese. There were only three states in 2023 with an obesity rate over 40% [0]. The number usually hovers between 30 and 35%.

> now that an LLM can pass the Turing test

What study are you referring to here? The ones I've seen don't particularly resemble anything Turing described. The preprint from UCSD got heavy coverage in the popular press but its headline claim is an elementary statistical mistake, modifying the test so it's no longer a binary comparison but still treating 50% as a meaningful pass threshold. It hasn't yet passed peer review nine months later, and I'm cautiously optimistic that it never will.

Trump is widely regarded as having committed crimes. It is the persons actions that make them guilty. And in Trumps case, his actions are public record so no assumptions are necessary.

And for a hypothetical, if he was in fact guilty and the investigations were warranted. And then he used his presidential power to punish and fire everyone remotely associated with those cases. Would this be a good or bad thing in your opinion?

The biggest problem with ADHD is that many kids who are diagnosed with ADHD eventually grow out of it. Your method is to keep medicating them permanently, with no thought or strategy as to how to evaluate whether or not they still need it.

Russia already shared borders with NATO.

The truth of the matter from Ukraine's perspective is that this never would have happened if Ukraine was a NATO member.

NATO hasn't moved aggressively on Russia.

The motivations for Russia and it's neighbours for their opinions on joining NATO are the same. Russia doesn't invade NATO members. That's why Russia's neighbours want to join and why Russia doesn't want them to.
I'm sure it's on your list, but I think it would be helpful if I could click into the timeline in order to add an event/period of my life. I think there could be a really cool interface expanding years and drilling into certain time periods.

Also, as I get older I remember events, but I'm not sure when they happened. I remember being in a certain city on St. Patty's Day, but can't remember what year that might have been.

I got a little obsessed with this idea of journaling my life during the pandemic. I would record videos for my kids to watch in 20+ years. I figure they'll get a kick out of seeing their dad young and talking about current events. I built a site and made my parents record stories about their life - viography.co (try it free functionality is currently being rebuilt and not working. If you want a code dm me).

For the life in weeks, I think the more information that can be saved makes it more valuable. Personally I'm playing around with the idea of turning my site into a weekly video journal. It seems like everyone is putting a ton of content online, it's mostly ephemeral and clickbait-y and as we all get older we'll wish we made more substantial recordings of ourselves and our situations.

The article is from last year, 2024.

It does describe the immune system reset in a way that helps to understand why measles should be avoided but I wonder whether there are more recent study results that can add to the information in this article.

We currently are watching the spread across Texas and New Mexico from here in N Texas and hope that other people are also paying attention. Really makes me think twice before attending any large public gatherings or even going to the grocery store during the busy times of the week.

We have a large enough population of people who refuse vaccines and other treatments for religious reasons that the threat of spread up here is real.

The whole point of the expansion card system is to be able to choose which six ports. For all anyone knows I might need six USB Type-A, or two Ethernet and four storage, or a bunch of HDMI or DisplayPort, or what have you; yes, some of these are going to be limited by what the chipset can pump out, but still. That sort of modularity and swappability is something I leverage daily with both of my Framework laptops; that's indeed half the point of a Framework.

And as for the space-efficiency... the existing non-swappable ports are already pretty sparse and spread out. The expansion cards ain't all that big; stacking a bunch of 'em shouldn't take up more space.

The article is from February 2017. And “trying to plan” what?

Let me ask you a question. You agree that, since Trump won the election, federal employees should work just as hard implementing Project 2025 as they did for Biden, including coming up with creative legal theories like Biden did for student loan forgiveness. Right?

It's already been happening for years. Award winning faculty and scientists are fleeing US universities and institutions and setting up shop in China, often with more funding and talent available, and no McCarthyism accusations of being spies. It started officially in 2018 with the US Department of Justice's "China Initiative", which basically just allowed anyone to go on a witch hunt of Chinese and Chinese American academics. Of course, the vast majority of those cases were bogus and was just a guise for racism.

This isn't the first time. In the 1950s, the founder of Berkeley JPL, an MIT professor who was one of the forefathers of NASA and Manhattan Project contributor, and who Theodore von Karman called a generational genius, Chinese educated Qian Xuesen was humiliated with accusations of being a communist spy and given a multi-year house arrest where he couldn't work so that his knowledge would fall behind the state of the art. He was then deported, and went back to China where he created the Chinese space program entirely from scratch. In China today, he's widely known as a national hero and the "father of Chinese rocketry". If you really want your mind blown, look up his family tree and see how many Nobels and National Science Medals are related to him.

The past few years alone has seen some really high profile scientists taking their knowledge and experience with them to China. These are people who've spent 30+ years building lives here in the US, and were initially being forced out, but now are actually being lured with better pay packages and working conditions since the first wave was treated so well. It's absolutely insane.
