Consumption is made of impulse choices. (most of the times).

Also we are having fewer children, does this drug reduce also the impulse of having sexual desires? In that case that would be even worst.

You need some place to live where the organisation of the capital is somebody else's problem.

You need to rent.

That does not mean you need to be exploited to the limits of your vulnerabilities. Which is the market model
a) There is no correlation between a walled garden and telemetry. I use plenty of open source software that asks for analytics and crash reports. In fact I take it as a positive sign as it means they are committed to making a better product.

b) In this case the provisioning profiles are essential to the build process so it makes sense for Apple to check for updates as you are building.
Well, per wikipedia: "On September 28, 2023, Capstone Green Energy declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy"
The problem with such calculations is that they're very sensitive to the chosen starting point: compare the growths in the most recent 3 instead of 5 years:

Austin: 502-> 510 growth: 1.6%

Dallas: 263-> 295 growth: 12.2%

NYC: 255-> 318 growth: 24.7%

SF: 349-> 361 growth: 3.4%

LA: 384-> 443 growth: 15.4%
I have worked at plenty of places where analytics data is used to drive decision making.

And surely we can all agree that a data driven approach is better than gut instinct.
Jami (https://jami.net) and Tox (https://tox.chat) are better, being P2P and open source.
Don’t worry - I’m sure that if Scott Bessent’s ever worried about his job he won’t hesitate to get rid of Direct File.

I’ll hope so. Much worse would be if one’s public content gets erased from history.

I fear the loss of original sources when LLMs get placed in between. We already have the unresolved issue that the training data is partly illegal and can’t be published. Accessing information through LLMs is much more efficient and is great progress but it’s build in to censor parts of the source information and likely the censored information is lost in transition.

Somehow there should be a global data vault initiative, where at least the most important information about our human endeavour is stored. It gives me a chill down my spine when I hear that content from the internet archive is being deleted on request erased from history..
You shouldn't have to ask permission from a PCP / pharmacist in the first place. Who are you to decide whether side effects are worth it for anybody but yourself?

Nope, this does not work for existing C modules, of which there are many.
This is exactly what LA is doing btw. LA has a few light rail networks but by far most of its network is buses and most of its riders use its buses. The problems that the LA Metro Bus network echo the problems with fixing housing costs in general:

* Lack of political will to create separate lanes. City council members are drivers and empathize with their auto driving constituents and would rather have driving lanes available to auto drivers than exclusive to buses

* Better bus stops require better funding which requires raising taxes. Nicer bus stops also tend to attract the homeless. The US has been funding auto driver amenities for almost a century via taxes but only started funding transit in a consistent way federally from the BBB act, and even then only at a fraction of auto improvements.

* A bus route that serves many stops is slow. A bus route that serves few stops is inconvenient for anyone not near those stops. You can run multiple buses along a route with differing levels of service to service both modes, but that requires running more buses, which requires purchasing more buses and hiring more drivers which costs more money.

Most of this comes down to a lack of political will and funding. Most politicians still see driving as the main way to move around and are loathe to fund transit as anything more than an equity initiative to help with the sad folks who cannot drive a car. Until this changes, progress is going to be slow. Likewise most politicians benefit from high housing costs because they themselves live in more expensive, exclusive areas with exclusionary zoning and are more sympathetic to that viewpoint and view housing accessibility as largely an equity initiative.
What are you talking about? I asked a hypothetical question to point out that what is written in treaties is not some God given law that can not be broken under any circumstances.
Yeah, audio response curves have always been a bit confusing to me. Like, they say that headphones should use a Harman curve because that sounds 'best' to listeners, but how valid is it as an objective measure? (E.g., will listeners 50 years from now find a different curve 'better', the same way that instrument tuning has changed over centuries?) And how much of it is responding to current practices in recording and mixing?

Of course, you won't get a sound as if you're in the same room (without a very fancy setup), so you'll generally want some sort of transformation to get an acceptable output. And artists often want to aim for a certain effect on top of that. But with how things currently are, many of the decisions going into the final sound are very opaque.
I started in November and am down ~25 lb.

> Even at the lowest 2.5mg starter dose which you're only allowed to stay on for 1 month

Uh, you're allowed to stay there as long as you want. I was on 2.5 for two months and asked my Dr to up the dose, as progression kind of stalled in the second month. I've been hanging out around 3.5-4.5mg/week since then losing ~5 lb/month steadily.

Sounds like you're pretty sensitive to it, which is nice. You can lower the dose even further if you think it's too strong at 2.5mg/week.

It is definitely a game changer.
Yeah, I’m not saying that every situation is trivial but the figures I’ve seen have something like 80% of filers using W-2 income so it’s weird when people who don’t have complex property ownership or business arrangements talk like it’s incredibly complicated. Most of us could use Direct File to be just like most other countries in the world, but there’s a now-dominant lobby which tried to block that.

Huh, interesting to know! I can see the reasons for that rule pertaining to any medical donation generally, but in this case it does feel like a clear reason for an exception. (In my non-medical-ethics-trained mind.)

If my blood was withheld from people that needed it and instead destroyed, only BECAUSE I had a disease that benefits from bloodletting and does not affect the usefulness of my blood when transfused in any way... I think I would be rightfully angry by that.

With such a liberal license what would stop Google or Microsoft to build their own proprietary browser on to of Servo? At this point releasing software under liberal licenses instead of (A)GPL is basically providing free labor for the tech monopolists.

Strictly speaking, Ukraine already knows who's wrong. If Russia could be trusted without a security guarantee then the math might add up differently.

There will never be another Minsk agreement though, with or without the US at the table. It's pathetic that any credible military leader would attempt to push that a second time.

I’ll have to rewatch that video. Saw it a couple days ago and walked away with the opposite take. DeFronzo spent a whole lot of time heavily praising the generation of drugs (including the next generation in phase 2 trials)

If there’s a specific part you remember talking about the negatives I’d be interested to hear.

I legitimately have a difficult time finding anything negative when researching the drug, other than tolerable side effects like GI upset.
Vance: “For four years, the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The path to peace and the path to prosperity is, maybe, engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the United States’ words mattered more than the president of the United States’ actions. What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That’s what President Trump is doing.”

Zelenskyy: “Can I ask you?”

Vance: “Sure. Yeah.”

Zelenskyy: “OK. So he (Putin) occupied it, our parts, big parts of Ukraine, parts of east and Crimea. So he occupied it in 2014. So during a lot of years — I’m not speaking about just Biden, but those times was (Barack) Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump. And God bless, now, President Trump will stop him. But during 2014, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and took. He killed people. You know what the --"

Trump: “2015?”

Zelenskyy: “2014.”

Trump: “Oh, 2014? I was not here.”

Vance: “That’s exactly right.”

Zelenskyy: “Yes, but during 2014 ‘til 2022, the situation is the same, that people have been dying on the contact line. Nobody stopped him. You know that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my bilateral conversation. And we signed with him, me, like, you, president, in 2019, I signed with him the deal. I signed with him, (French President Emmanuel) Macron and (former German Chancellor Angela) Merkel. We signed ceasefire. Ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go … But after that, he broke the ceasefire, he killed our people, and he didn’t exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners. But he didn’t do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about? What do you mean?”

----

Then the argument starts. Vance's said nothing aggressive against Zelensky, he was talking to a reporter. He, like I said, said Trump is trying to be diplomatic, which, like I said, is true.

For the 40 minutes before this exchange both sides were obviously in disagreement about certain things, but it was quite respectful, tho Zelensky was obviously frustrated at times.

Also, there's a moment during the argument when Zelensky literally calls Vance suka under his breath watch the clip in this article. [1]

The mainstream media hates Trump and Vance and want to blame them for a cloudy day. But if you just watch the full video you can see it's much more complicated than that.

All eFabless designs for the first two years of the program were multi-project wafers with single-project chips. And they still required the management engine.

Over the past year they tried an experimental "multi-project chip" (first samples shipped 14 months ago). But the management engine was a requirement long before this happened.

People seem to handle it very differently, according to my doc. I never had issues while taking Mounjaro or Synjardy (a prescription pill for diabetes management with similar side effects) alone, but the two together meant I could count on a couple of bad days a week.

Sidebar: Mounjaro changed my life. I'd been very diabetic (300 units of insulin a day) for years on end. Taking that much insulin, my normally large frame got very large indeed. A couple of months into the Mounjaro and I was off insulin; a year into it and I was down 75 lbs and healthier than I'd been in 20 years.

>most LLMs are great for spitting out some code that fulfills 90% of what you asked for. That's sometimes all you need. But we all know that the last 10% usually take the same amount of effort as the first 90%.

The issue is if you have an LLm write for you 10k lines of code, where 100 lines are bugged. Now you need to debug the code you did not write and find the bugged code, you will waste similar amount of time. The issue is if you do not catch the bugs in time, you think you gain some hours but you will get upset customers because things went wrong because the code is weird.

From my experience you need to work withan LLM and have the code done function by function, with your input and you checking it and calling bullshit when it does stupid things.
Rather than considering that of the person, consider it of the belief.
You can just take a lower dose, or cease taking the drug. Appetite comes back. It's pretty low risk.
Yes, that's it! It is frustrating to me, too. You have to start a new chat with all relevant data, and a detailed summary of the progress/status.

I disagree that the Space Shuttle was technically superior. It was more complex, more expensive, and less safe; in my book all three of those are forms of technical inferiority. The Space Shuttle program was already a significant regression from the capabilities of Apollo. Yes, it's true that Russia wasn't making much progress on improvements on Soyuz, but neither was the US; instead they were backsliding faster than Russia was.

I think we can date the US's crewed-spaceflight inferiority to Russia to roughly 01972, when Apollo ended; Russia had launched the first space station the year before, and though the US would briefly operate Skylab in 01973–4, but would not catch up to the Russians again in crewed spaceflight until 02020. The Space Shuttle boondoggle made it possible for sufficiently motivated people to deny this until 02011.
Would the number of drugs developed drop, or would a few luxury yacht companies go bankrupt?
I think you could replace 'cars' here with a lot of technological innovations that have made certain aspects of our lifestyles attainable at a potentially greater externalised cost. Much of it is simply making things more convenient - not necessarily better.

There are two things that I am becoming more and more willing to believe:

1. We live in an age of entitlement (I can afford it, it is possible, it is legal, I want it, therefore I will do it). There is a good chance that this is how we will be remembered.

2. Convenience is killing us and robbing us of the activities that actually provide satisfaction. We fall for this because we think we desire happiness and that hedonism will provide it, when in reality satisfaction/contentment is what we truly desire.

Same, I'm on one of them and I still love and enjoy eating and am perfectly capable of eating my beloved junk food. I'm just highly likely to feel done after a few bites instead of... dozens and dozens of bites.

Losing the pleasure of food was one of my main concerns starting it, and it hasn't been an issue whatsoever.

Meanwhile, I'm back down to my healthy weight range, which I haven't seen since 2021, which was about the third time I'd been at that weight and then ballooned up. I was just about at the top of that range after two months, down about 30 pounds, and it took no effort whatsoever.

I feel amazing. Muscle mass is also doing fine, and I'm well into middle age so any protective properties of youth are largely gone, still having no problems there.
Innovation that would be applicable to open weight models running locally only would be awesome.
> The difference in life expectancy is 15%.

Which is huge. Life expectancy in the US increased by ~15% between 1955 and now. Surely you would be entirely content with receiving the same level of care as was available back then and inhaling some lead now and then?

> You've been bamboozled by the y axis not starting at 0

It must be fun being so absurdly obtuse. The whole line of reasoning in your comment is so silly that it's hardly worth commenting on.

There is a massive difference between dying before you reach 72 vs living for another 15 years.

The difference in avg. life expectancy between Germany and Ethiopia is less than that.

Again, surely there is no measurable difference between living in either place when you are making median income?
How often do you write? Do you have something like a routine around it?
The issues with "too quickly" are:

1. the loss of muscle mass

2. low energy

3. unnecessary suffering

4. high fatigue

4.1. inability to maintain the low calorie diet for long enough

4.2. relapse; jojo-dieting.

1, 4.1 and 4.2 are the biggest problems.
That's a very good point. I never used the debugger so much as writing C++ at google where much of the stack is proprietary and far too large to internalize.

C++ is especially hard to reason about, though. The cognitive overhead of "running the compiler" in your brain is just staggering. Even scala doesn't feel that bad. Java code feels like building with LEGO in comparison—super, super easy to read and process.
As far as I know, it is the exact same. Just different branding (for some reason).
I agree with the sentiment. The specifics of the implementation are hard.

When it comes to bad doctors, I think a lot of people in the medical field would agree "you know one when you see one." But when you're talking about putting professional restrictions on someone, you need objective criteria.

The naive way, counting up bad outcomes, leads to a system where surgeons are incentivized to decline any case that looks technically difficult or where the patient has lots of preexisting conditions that put them at risk for complications after the surgery. We already see this to a degree in transplant surgery, where outcomes are followed closely to avoid wasting organs.

That said, I think true incompetence is pretty rare. I can't think of a single doctor I 've worked with professionally where I'd be concerned if I found out they were taking care of one of my immediate family.
It's unambiguously the case that the US subsidizes drug development for the rest of the world, including non-US pharma companies like Novo.
