Anecdotally, the dose required to maintain a stable weight seems to be lower than the dose required to lose weight. Most people tend to regain some weight when going cold turkey. The safety profile of the drugs with diabetics, and the healt

The problem (not new with GLP-1s) is that people lose weight, get life insurance, and then regain. The biggest part of that equation is regain part. Most people quit GLP-1s because of costs. Let's fix that.

I read Beowulf to my kids (in Tolkien's translation) when they were 3 and 5. They really got into it, and seemed to pick up the plot without my explaining it to them. When Æscher was killed, my 3yo called out "Beowulf should have

Younger people don't read books as frequently as they did when I was young (pre-internet). Bookstores are flooded with junk, with the SEO-equivalent of publishing spam having won out on the bookshelves. Libraries are as bad or worse. S

Nobody is setting up "privacy-friendly" frontends to track browsing data that they couldn't otherwise get without access to Google's/Twitter's/etc. logs? Because I think they are.

In Classical history, we've got a number of competing historiographers that we can compare with each other, and a large about of archeological remains. Our estimates of how wealthy any given period of the Roman empire was are based on

Document-only claim without any archeological support means that I'm highly skeptical.

This comment does not follow the context of the discussion. Circling back up. Article author: Twitter might be untrustworthy and could bruteforce your keys. Use Signal. Me: That's unreasonable. You also have to trust Signal. Your

I don't believe that is the case. You can turn your phone off and the Signal desktop client will continue to work just fine.

They control the update servers. So it's possible to target a single user with a single build that no one else ever sees. What percentage of users verify every release?

What exactly prevents them from doing a Windows build with an non-published change, signing it with the keys they control, and pushing it to an individual client through the upgrade servers which they control?

by romaaeterna 1y ago
Given that Signal is pushing new code updates all the time, isn't it trivial for them to push new binaries that harvest messages/keys/whatever-they-want?

You: Autonomous driving is years away Me: My Tesla takes me 20min to work every day without human intervention, and on long trips of hundreds of miles You: This is illegal because it might kill someone Call the police on Tesla, I guess?

You are responding to this thread as if we were arguing for these cars "being allowed on the streets". That is not the discussion here. Instead, we are talking about AI capacity.

And the same is true for a human driver. I imagine that you could differentiate on accidents per vehicle mile.

The general consensus may be whatever it is, but a Tesla can drive from L.A. to NYC today with no interventions other than at charging stops.

Most of my reading is in Greek and Latin (no Hebrew), and I disagree with your evaluation. My evaluation remains as above.

The KJV is an exceptionally good translation, and its flaws are particular and well-known. It was made at a time when all the most intelligent people of the world were doing Latin Greek and Hebrew, instead of say physics or javascript.

But why did you make that particular leap with your utterly baseless accusation? And why are you saying that anyone else propagandizing children would be "ridiculous edge cases"? I urge you to work out your priors.

In a world with so many different opinions, where you know neither my nation or city or native language, it's odd that you would immediately jump to this. After all, my library could be run by Scientologists attempting to propagandize
