Thanks for the anecdote. Biological variation, we're all different!

Metformin is well-understood, old, safe, and has various health benefits. Surprisingly, metformin seems to be almost a pure win, even for healthy people: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-metformin-a-wonder-dr...

Just ask your doctor for it. Say: "Please prescribe me Metformin, 2 grams daily." If you're overweight, tell your doctor you want help with your appetite. Otherwise, say you want metformin for its cancer prevention and anti-a

Many foods you used to like (e.g., sweets) will be nauseating. Other foods remain delicious. For example, eggs and cheese and meat. But basically, your interest in food will be drastically reduced, and you will eat just enough. This is an i

We have an old, safe, cheap drug for humans already: Metformin. Most people can get an off-label metformin prescription for anti-aging or appetite suppression. Your interest in food will be reduced to the point you have trouble keeping weig

Are you foolishly suggesting that Sir Isaac Newton was just aggregating and interpolating others' work? Like a feed-forward chain of matrix multiplications, trained to predict its training data? No, of course you weren't. That wou

These systems aggregate and interpolate human work. Interpolation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation It's like a very complicated form of linear interpolation: a*x + (1-a)*y These systems do not

Thank you for saying it. We're surrounded by people who don't understand what's happening. They seem to think some kind of art intelligence has been invented. No, it's the aggregation and interpolation of vast amounts of

Well, to begin with, Go passes function arguments in registers since 1.17 Go 1.17 implements a new way of passing function arguments and results using registers instead of the stack. Benchmarks for a representative set of Go packages and p

If you don't appreciate, or don't understand, C-style pointers (they're just addresses, where nil is a very useful value) then you won't like C and you won't like Go. Go is an improved C. It's for people who li

Sure: if you don't like C, you won't like Go. Sounds like C is not your thing, and that's ok.

There's a very old and strange approximate string matching algorithm in agrep (approximate grep). Here it is in its most simplified form (zero mismatches): https://bugfix-66.com/e61f9c6080791c9ea8983af748db704238cbb7...

That is correct. A serious mistake in C. Go was designed by (among others) the father of Unix Ken Thompson, with an understanding of the mistakes of C and C++. Another example is that Go requires explicit integer casts (disallowing implicit

If the fair use argument holds, there will be no possible defense against it. Microsoft will convert all open source into anonymous common property and monetize it. That's the hopeless scenario. Otherwise, the fair use argument fails t

Microsoft can argue that Copilot emits a mixture of intellectual property (a pattern from here, a pattern from there), so they don't need to give attribution. But if we disallow training, it's unambiguous. Either you fed the progr
