One of my favorite short stories


I don't know but In Portland there's a ton of them, the venues are great, and in the summer we go do it in the forest. And now that the RA app has it's shit together, I no longer have to get on Instagram to find out about stuff.


Great book. Great game. I treasured the time I spent reading it and playing it. Head's up: the game does not follow the same characters as the book. It's sort of a different story that's taking place at the same time and very nearby.


They don't work, and it's a poverty of the imagination to have no clue of or understand the value of supportive, preventative, or rehabilitative policies.


They work if you are the kind of person who is ok with living in an authoritarian place like Singapore.

I personally am not, I like personal freedom. However, there are actually many people in the world who would feel fine living in Singapore-level authoritarianism.


No, it's real. It's commenting on the article by John, on old coworker of mine. I applied for Ignite but was not accepted and ended up getting into SE a different way. Anyway, I recommend reading the post by John and then reading this for the additional commentary.

So much this. I've noticed it and talked about it for years. Glad someone wrote about it. I definitely think the "dress and act your age" thing was a big factor and I'm so glad that went out the window. Not so that people will get to be immature (that was already there, just buried), but so that people finally get to really define themselves and how they will age gracefully.


I don't know why this was hidden. I find it interesting.


You find a list of patterns in a string, except none of those patterns are actually in the string, interesting?

Or you find "LLM can't handle characters" interesting?

Those both seem extremely boring (and off topic) to me.


The most interesting thing is that a bunch of apparently smart people keep treating LLMs as if they were truly capable of something resembling problem-solving or logical thought, or even "understanding" a question.

It should surprise no one that they're bad at string processing, and yet.


I wouldn't trust a CATO study.


First woman killed by dog falling on her. Second woman killed by bus while gawking at first death with gathered crowd. Third man dies of a heart attack after witnessing both events.


How do people live with themselves charging 20 times the production cost of an essential medicine?


Same way people live with themselves working for an Ad companies that tracks people, and social media companies, and every other kind of business that is considered unethical by vast majority of people - by looking at their bank balance and being in denial about the harm they are causing.

One should look at their own employers and see if everything they are doing is ethical.

NOTE: just making a point, I don’t condone what these companies are doing


They make pills for that :)


Liability costs.


Let's not pretend almost all diabetics didn't get in that situation themselves.


1.4 million people in the us alone would disagree with you.

Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with diet it is an autoimmune disease with genetic and possible environmental antecedents.

If you're interested in learning more about type 1 diabetes please check out:

"More than 37 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes."

https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/type2.html


And it's often treatable through diet and vigorous exercise.

"A weight loss of ~15 kg, achieved by calorie restriction as part of an intensive management programme, can lead to remission of T2DM in ~80% of patients with obesity and T2DM." [ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32690918/ ]

"A novel HIIT-protocol recruiting lower and upper body muscles efficiently improves insulin sensitivity, VO2max and body composition with intact responses in obesity and type 2 diabetes. " [ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36387850/ ]

The caveat, is of course, "long-term weight loss maintenance is challenging."


I pray that you never have to encounter the wrong end of a System
