That sounds like a non-issue. Our conscience already "pauses" when we go to sleep or get hit in the head, we already have people being resuscitated...

I think there's some truth to the whole "It's hard to scam a honest man". At the very least people would wonder whom they're making money off from

I actually envy people who have such a drive to live to the point of battling cancer for so long. If I got diagnosed I definitely would just give up.

I don't think you need ChatGPT for that, that's probably already the approach scolars use.

US tech salaries are like triple the rest of the world, I don't think that's a good example.

Filthy rich people looking for a framework in which they can get to enjoy being rich, not advocating for any real change in the system, and feel morally superior because they're donating some meaningless amount to charities? Yeah, some

Back during the Brazilian dictatorship, they used to say "we have to grow the cake to split it afterwards". What actually surprises me is that EA was apparently taken seriously. It does explain a lot of the fake goodness Silicon V

I'm gonna ignore this whole "fitness model gaining weight on purpose" because I don't even know how to respond to you thinking this is somehow relevant. What it does show me is that you're quite unwilling to imagine

I think it's a case of "we'll know it when we see it". I agree it looks like moving the goalposts, but I think most people would agree that current LMs just don't feel like AGIs.

Yeah, sorry, I misread that. I guess the gist of what I mean is that it's a much easier choice for some than it is for others.

I'm down to 71 kg from 83 kg in June, and yeah, that was a major factor to my overeating. Yet, some people have a different appetite, or a different reward system wiring for food, and they just don't feel the same impulse to do it

A diet that doesn't take into account the factors that lead someone to overeat is useless by definition. If "most people can't follow this simple principle" then evidently it's a useless principle. Unless the goal i

But that right there is a difference between you and other humans. The idea of "searching for a diet that allows you to gain weight" is absolutely alien to me. I can easily get to 5000 calories a day without even thinking about it

Psychology research is all over the place. If they mean willpower as this general concept, then probably it's not a thing. But if you have junk food in your home some people (like myself) will eat it compulsively at some point.

"It's a self-control issue" well, obviously? It's also a completely useless and un-actionable observation, unless your goal is to feel better by pointing fingers, in which case, suit yourself.

I once heard about one drug that basically works by making you nauseous to food. Is it the one? > Metformin is generally safe, but common side effects do include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Those experiencing these unpleasant side ef

Willpower is a finite resource indeed, you can't rely on that.

I've been hitting the gym for a few months now, and one thing that completely blew my mind was the existence of hypercalorics. Imagine that, not being able to eat a lot (specially carbs) and having to resort to these solutions. Point

As someone with negative self-esteem and a whole list of psychological issues, I don't understand how people can have so much little self-respect to the point of ~simping~ for those "generous billionaires" and actually believ

Indeed, you know those HR meetings that we always pretend to care and believe the company mission, while commenting afterwards with your co-workers how cringe it all sounded? Does that not happen in Silicon Valley? What I learned is that pe

You could do without the last sentence, because as per usual Hacker News will pick up on only that sentence. But I agree. In the end, most managers need to physically feel the whip hitting the employee's back.
