Does anyone know the culture surrounding use of these drugs in non-obese people? Even “healthy weight” people often want to lose some weight. Retatrutide in particular looks promising as a general life improvement.

It promotes higher intensity exercising. If you’re breathing hard, that’s a good sign. (For mental health.)

The statement was referring to mental health. The data is clear for things like cardio that more is always better. I’d never heard that less (read 2.5 he/wk) is a sweet spot for mental health.

You could easily reword your comment as wishing there were convenience stores without the magazines. I agree with the other person here. It’s just the context of YouTube. Take HN for example: there’s little to no adult content on this site.

I’d never seen “an overview of systematic reviews” before — I would have thought this was already common sense, but it should be now more than ever. I was a little confused about the “less is better” part of the article. I think it just mea

It’s still an unjust system, and it’s worthwhile to aspire to a system that is truly fair. Technological advancement is ultimately the only way to achieve a fair system where “systematized interview or testing” works as well as a relationsh

It’s really all opinion. I would say the system here is unjust. (Life’s not fair.)I wouldn’t say that the relationship-hires are morally wrong (if the person hired is qualified).

Your comments on this thread up to this point sound like a religious fanatic. I greatly enjoyed reading. Goes to show why it’s called “The C Religion”.

If I remember correctly, that site was actually used to publish an early paper about fingerprinting. Their database is simply people who visit their site. You probably are unique among people who have visited! I doubt it sees much traffic a

I’ve been on a team doing fingerprinting research (specifically entropy sources). It’s amusing that you’re 100% unique and browsing HN commenting about fingerprinting. (You’re exactly a demographic that would be unique.) Most people aren’

I think the diagram was just meant to be comprehensive. The writeup itself doesn’t imply all the tool nonsense.

The article presents kids as an option after 50 for men, not women, and that’s reasonable. It’s a popular thing to do to draw similarities between decreases in fertility between men and women, but it’s not helpful. There’s a plethora of ris

I’ve had nb marked for investigation forever. It looks like it’s been steadily developed since I first saved it for later. So do you store all your files in DropBox and the use Joplin to access them via mobile? I’m intrigued by how the two

Good enough for me. It works well enough for editing Windows-side files which is all I need WSL1 for.

What exactly do you mean here that the smaller models can compete with the the larger once they are fine-tuned? What about once the larger models are fine-tuned? Are they then out of reach of the fine-tuned smaller models?

You differentiate between Spanglish and Hinglish because a native English speaker wouldn't understand the English parts of Hinglish (but they would understand the English parts of Hinglish)?

Microsoft's formal stance is still that WSL1 won't be deprecated. I use it every day!

LLMs don’t support this sort of functionality, and thus the trainers eliminate adult content from the training so as not to lose market share to other censored models. As stated in other comments: users can fine tune the model to incorporat

Whether or not it’s immoral is opinion-based. It’s probably typically in order to not alienate those who think it is. Effectively a business decision even in the context of an open model.

Indeed. The 6000 number has floated around for a while and is an exaggeration. It is true that chess at the competitive level burns calories. (More like an extra 1000 a day during a tournament.) Coupled with tournaments not allowing food, p

Ah, the quintessential punchcard-drop story. Every old programmer has one of those stories. My dad was just a mechanical engineer, and just crunched numbers with punch cards, but even he has stories about worrying about dropping punch cards

Hmmm, I’ve never heard seen ads like that. I wouldn’t have thought your example was legal, actually. Maybe other states? If that was your experience I can see why you feel that way.

My graduate program did not teach UML, but I did learn it during my undergrad program. It was a relatively small part of the major software engineering course. It introduced the idea of formally specifying software, and it forced me to rees

Pharmaceutical ads are much more dystopian I think. Politically influencing people through advertisements regarding who to vote for is plenty democratic and civilized. Those ads are actually very well curtailed by slander and libel laws.

Welcome to the discussion lol. People have already provided examples of copilot producing niche code verbatim thereby proving their intuition incorrect. It’s a whole mess that will take years to be cleaned up by new legal conventions.

Not a great example: if Apple’s code leaked, theoretically they wouldn’t include it in the training as it’s not supposed to be seen by the public. If it’s public you can be inspired by it (so their logic goes).

I think the bottom line is that Microsoft’s (and thus other for-profit AI initiatives) stance is that any and all data is fair game regardless of license or authorization. This results, in their opinion, from the fact that the AI alters the

Acknowledging that it’s a multifaceted mega-corp (and some of the facets are bad) is it really naive to associate excellent marketing with moral goodness? What is this marketing doing if not signaling that at least some of the company refle
