It would seem they are modifying peptides. Which is patentable.
I am not "literally lying". Both of these treatments often require therapy up to the point of treatment and then continued therapy after. Most people are not doing weekly therapy for that kind of trauma because it's workshop style work. It takes time to implement. The time between therapy starts to add up quick. The actual dose is one treatment, or in the case of ketamine spread across an array of treatments, but the therapy before and after is what takes the bulk of what I'm talking about. I don't mean you spend years dosing.

In the early days of the internet, people would host servers out of a university lab or their home for fun or to give back to the community. This didn't scale as more people came online. There were too many people and too few hosts. Protocols moved slower than product development. People needed to download apps (and this was before app stores). So the corporate web won.

The exact form of government is whatever achieves the goal, and is largely academic. It only vaguely will help understand what’s happening, or what is yet to come. e.g. in some sense right now, the form is diarchy, but also principate. The veneer of republic will make it plausible and normal when one of the diarchs is fired.

Part of the confusion is many things are happening all at once. It might seem whimsical and fickle because of the incompetency, but the largest single component of what’s going on is corruption.

And it’s going to get much much worse, because power is being consolidated. This is 180° from Federalist 51 in which Madison describes (polyarchy) making ambition counter ambition.
I think the LLMs are merely a method. Google really doesn't want you to leave the Google ecosystem. Hence why they have maps, flights, news, shopping, ...

LLMs allow them to extract information from websites and present those to you, while surrounded by only their ads.

And once that is commonplace somebody will start to add 'Fetch relevant products related to this question from our database, and include them in a natural way into the answer.

Require that the application be mailed in.

That was also my solution for literary journals and magazines that saw a flood of submissions when ChatGPT got popular. IDK if any did. The major ones, at least, could easily do so and still get plenty of good submissions.
> TL:DR: So, how's it doing? Well, pretty badly. Worse than a 6-year-old would, definitely not PhD-level.

This is what happens when you try to apply hype technology (LLMs) on to every problem, especially with a company that has amassed too much hype too quickly.

The limits of said technology tell us that Claude has a very limited memory to plan in the game which is why it is obviously struggling. But expanding those limitations would cost Anthropic an enormous amount of money and compute even if they did that.

So you can clearly see that if LLM are unable to beat this game in an efficient manner to test for planning and reasoning, what hope is there for it with much challenging and complex scenarios which is required for so-called "AGI"?

Might get downvoted for saying this, but I've gone from being a Musk admirer a decade ago to now genuinely hoping that Starship fails. SpaceX is an incredible company in many ways, but I don't think anything they're doing is worth making Musk more powerful than he already is. If his downfall means we also have to give up SpaceX and Tesla and whatever else, so be it. We'll live.
You don't want to have too much hypertrophy in the heart for sure. My understanding though is that it's very hard (almost impossible?) for it to be a problem without exogenous hormones, or some other condition that allows you to accrue an abnormal amount of muscle mass (e.g. myostatin defficiency).

Edit: I mean someone with a healthy fat percentage body composition. Of course having to pump blood to a 300lb-140kg body is problematic for the heart, be it a mostly fat or mostly muscle body composition. My point is it's just much easier to be fat enough for it to be a problem than muscular enough without exogenous hormones or an abnormal condition.

> ensure systems are designed to never let it happen again

Though that may be the right response in many scenarios, sometimes it's better to just accept the risk of it happening again, as the preventative measure may be worse than the disease. Especially when considering the combined, stifling effect of a historically accumulated wealth of such measures.
The "genuinely poor" would also be those suffering the most from the pollution.
In my original post, I did say kidnapping from the street. Luring them in with promises or fear of deportation isn't exactly that - but semantics. I got carried away, I do consider that morally wrong just like the Ukrainian ones. I will concede and agree with you that Russians are kidnapping. I don't think anyone should be pressured or forced to the frontline like that. Ukrainian, Russian, or otherwise.

> You're talking about refugees, of which 2 thirds are women and children?[0] Then you refer to millions of men in Europe, showing a 768.000 figure.

Well, if 2/3 are women out of 6 million then 2 million would be men. But semantics, we can confirm that theres atleast 768k according to Eurostat. Which I think satisfies your claim: (somewhat, unless you get picky about the "upon the announcement of mobilization")

500 years ago, betting on the Pope was punishable by excommunication. Today, crypto-powered prediction markets are placing odds on the next conclave. Have we come full circle, or has technology fundamentally changed the ethics of speculation? Should there be limits to what we can bet on, or is ”information price discovery“ an absolute good？

Are decentralized prediction markets a net positive for transparency, or are they just incentivizing bad behavior?
If the molecule itself is not patentable, the process of efficient extraction or synthesis may be. So, if somebody can come up with it, they may have a thriving business.

The substance in question is a peptide. It's not something you simply extract from a plant using a solvent. OTOH, being a peptide, it's likely easy enough to produce in a genetically engineered bacterium or yeast. Efficient extraction may remain a problem though, because you'll need to select a particular protein fragment (the peptide) from reams of other protein fragments of the bacterial / fungal cells you process.
the caloric restriction that these drugs engender can indeed lead to various forms of under-nourishment. as you point out, your protein needs (as a proportion of calorie sources) go UP when you are in caloric restriction; see PSMF.
I admit my phrasing was poor there, and I got too excited. I will clarify since I don't really disagree with you or what others said (claiming it's the best way is an overstatement).

Well, one could say that neural networks pioneers modeled their ideas on simplified brain structures representations. Modern neural networks have little in common with an actual biological brain, however, the inspiration remains there (even for modern NNs like CNNs). I recall the intent was there too, originally: providing a framework to study biological cognition in the 50s. Then it evolved to become a new paradigm in computer science so that we have programs able to learn and adapt for problems that are formally too complicated for deterministic solutions.

> even for tasks that seem trivial to humans, reasoning LLMs will make a lot of mistakes before arriving at a plausible-sounding result.

Like a lot of my coworkers analyzing a production bug? I would agree if the statement were that LLMs were underpowered compared to a human brain today but I'm not seeing evidence that humans do reasoning in a way that can't be correctly modeled.

From your article and comments, it sounds like the take is something like "humans don't actually reason autoregressively" which could be true, I don't know enough to know, but sort of like saying physics models aren't really how nature works: ultimately LLMs are executable models of the world, it's even in the name.
I'm comfortable with it (having previously been paid to write Perl for several years), but what I don't like is how many other people I have worked with aren't, and just blindly paste in (totally incorrect) regexes from Stack Overflow.
This 'random kid' stuff is absurd. The child is five or older. For all these years you have been calling it 'my son' or 'my daughter', and it has been calling you 'papa' or 'dad'. You've changed its diapers, sang it to sleep, fed it, clothed it, played with it, taught it words, hugged it after a bad dream. You are its world.

If after all that time it turns out to be not genetically yours I'm sure that hurts. Probably hurts a lot, if it's a betrayal by your partner.

But to pretend that it is in any way the same thing as the government assigning you 'a completely random child' is an absurd hyperbole. Five+ years is a decently long time to be (or think to be) someones father, but for the child that is literally its whole life.

So tell me, if it turns out after 5 years your child isn't biologically yours, you would just abandon it? It's been a nice few years but now it's over, leave to buy cigaretes and never return? And you think remaining its father is the un-manly thing to do? That sounds completely insane to me.

Re. public transport, indeed the occasion when I tried hitchhiking was after missing the one of the two twice-a-day buses on a recent journey of mine from a remote village. However, I eventually caught a succession of unlikely connections further on; I ended up arriving earlier than expected even without successfully hitchhiking, so all's well that ends well!
I've been thinking about prediction market designs that could preserve information discovery benefits while minimizing harm - maybe through delayed settlement periods, anti-manipulation mechanisms, or separating financial stakes from informational ones.

As web3 and DeFi make these markets more accessible and resistant to regulation, should we be building more guardrails into the protocols themselves? Or is this an unsolvable tension in market design?
You did have to sign up and login, right? I believe this is one of the major things that make it much less frictionless for people.
>1) compared with persons with normal weight, those with obesity have more muscle mass but poor muscle quality; 2) diet-induced weight loss reduces muscle mass without adversely affecting muscle strength; 3) weight loss improves global physical function, most likely because of reduced fat mass; 4) high protein intake helps preserve lean body and muscle mass during weight loss but does not improve muscle strength and could have adverse effects on metabolic function; 5) both endurance- and resistance-type exercise help preserve muscle mass during weight loss, and resistance-type exercise also improves muscle strength. We therefore conclude that weight-loss therapy, including a hypocaloric diet with adequate (but not excessive) protein intake and increased physical activity (particularly resistance-type exercise), should be promoted to maintain muscle mass and improve muscle strength and physical function in persons with obesity.

Trump has all the good sense of Caligula. [0]

> The tale of Caligula’s horse, Incitatus, being appointed as a senator is one of the most outlandish anecdotes about the emperor’s supposed madness. Incitatus was not just any horse; by all accounts, Caligula lavished him with luxuries typically reserved for Rome’s elite. The horse lived in a marble stable, with an ivory manger, and was the recipient of jewelry and other decadent trappings of wealth. The story goes that Caligula was so enamored with Incitatus that he intended to make a farce of the senatorial proceedings by raising his horse to the high office of a consul.

As a negotiator, every threat he makes is an opening for the bidding war to undo it. Perhaps the threat to Russia (biting the hand that feeds him) is to gain some leverage in whatever negotiations are going on in public and private.

He's completely transactional. I'm just guessing it's a bluff to gain some leverage he doesn't really have.

He usually plays checkers when the opponents are playing 5-dimensional chess. It works on the gullible, whom he courts with racist and misogynist bait.

And his odd and economically harmful fixation on tariffs and isolationism. [2]

I suppose it all makes sense if and when you can track the grift, such as "The Strategic Crypto Reserve" [1]

What changed was the availability/cost of hardware and much improved graphics driver situation. Vista RTM had some serious driver performance issues thanks to the new WDDM. Although resolved later in it's lifecycle, it was too late to shed that stigma.

Plus Vista's UAC was far too intrusive.

> Reasoning properly is at least operating through processes that output correct results.

Human "reasoning" (ie speech or self-talk that sounds a bit like reasoning) often outputs correct results. Does "often" fit the definition?

> Which problems that demand producing correct solutions could be solved by a processor which could not solve a "detective game"?

For example, "what colour is the sky right now?". A lot of people could solve this (even if they haven't looked outside), and so could a lot of language models, which can't solve this detective game.
If AI can achieve huge advancements like that in few years, then it can also disrupt everything else. Including any investment strategy you can come up with, no matter how smart.

Neat. I always thought Advent of Code 2015's Day 19 (Medicine for Rudolph) was just an exercise in parsing and validation of production rules against a grammar, and any use of regex in that puzzle solution was purely coincidental ;)
I've always been very, very skeptical of this claim.

If there's an actual natural, identified substance with huge benefits to people, it's going to go gangbusters and you're going to make a lot, LOT of money selling it, even if you're doing it via roadside lemonade stand.

It feels like this claim is usually used to promote cures and treatments with extremely low quality RCTs backing their use as a sort of panacea.

I used to believe the "just do shrooms to cure depression" claims on principle until I looked into the quality of those studies, which is very low. At that point, you're just making stuff up.
> That doesn't necessarily mean full CT support – they might just as well choose to completely distrust anything tagged SCTNotAfter, or to ignore it.

That's what the blog post I linked in the top comment suggests is the "more disruptive than intended" approach. I don't think it's a good idea. Removing the root at `SCTNotAfter + max cert lifetime` is the appropriate thing.

There's an extra issue of not-often-updated systems too, since now you need to coordinate a system update at the right moment to remove the root.
It's not perfect and I maintain full awareness of what it's doing, but it performs incredibly well 95% of the time.

This right here is why it's wildly dangerous and irresponsible. The vast majority of drivers are nowhere near this conscientious, and 95% is a horrible level of reliability for a two ton machine that is out on the road driving around other people.

I'm embarrassed for the engineers who contribute to this unethical shitshow. And I'm disgusted at the regulators for allowing this.
Other mentioned extraction and such, but semaglutide had been known for some time, the other half of the problem is delivery. You’ll notice the article says the calorie intake was decreased an hour later. You need to make it stable, long lasting, and via a delivery method that people can tolerate.

I'm curious how to explore the space on CPU optimization (SIMD, SOA/AOS etc), but don't know anything about it.

as with anything in that regard. profile, profile, profile. valgrind, check cache misses and profile. calculate theoretical throughput of a cpu you're working on, like actual bandwidth of reading/writing RAM, with and without caching, and that's your high post; to try to get as close as possible to those limits. If you want to start with that, you can do just that, simple reads/writes and profile and then introduce functions and structures instead and try to reclaim speed as much as possible. graphs over profiling always help, even better graphs over profiling on commits or PRs so you can tell how you're progressing. But that's just like my opinion, man. No right/wrong way, profiling always tells the truth in the end.

tl;dr; read ops for cpu; profile.

I really dislike the term "code smell". Nothing wrong with the concept, but it tends to be used to make half-baked, patronizing remarks about other people's code.

> Anytime someone talks about social rights, I always get worried because social rights are nothing more than obligations on the rest of us to provide or allow the one with the right.

We may have different definitions of social rights then. Often society can imbue someone with a right that has no obligation on anyone else at all, other than not to violate that right, which I am happy to empower a democratic government to defend.
