I hate how agreeable these things are. When I need it to review something I wrote I have to explicitly pretend that I’m the reviewer and not the author. Results change dramatically.

Wegovy/Ozempic didn’t do anything for me for months. Then my doc put me on Tirzepatide+Phentermine combo and I forgot what being hungry even feels like.

Do you have to remind yourself to consume things like proteins, etc to prevent muscle loss?

I couldn't hit my macros on tirzepatide - couldn't get enough protein without feeling sick to my stomach. One of the reasons I swapped to reta.

(though as a general note for anyone reading, just getting enough protein isn't enough - you need muscle stimulus too. Getting enough protein will help reduce the amount lost but if you really want to stop it, you gotta do resistance training)

How long have you been on Phentermine? For me it stopped working after only a couple weeks.

Doesn’t something like Wix take care of all of this?

Yes. It’s also idiot-proof enough that I sent a tech illiterate estate agent friend there with instructions to ask ChatGPT if he had any questions. He was up and running, with property listings, three days later.

Honestly, this is a solved problem - the actual problem, if you talk to folks who maintain only a FB page, is that they don’t want to pay.

It's not that they don't want to pay, but they don't want to pay outrageously. Squarespace, etc. are stupid expensive for most websites. $5/mo is the limit for a lot of businesses, especially when they can't tell if having a website will even improve their traffic over just having a social media page.

The administration and billing side can also be confusing for a lot of non-technical business owners.

> Great, I'll get started.

*does nothing*

I actually don’t think golfing is such a bad thing, granted it will first handle the low hanging fruits like variable names etc, but if you push it hard enough it will be forced to think of a simpler approach. Then you can take a step back and tell it to fix the variable names, formatting etc. With the caveat that a smaller AST doesn’t necessarily mean simpler code, but it’s a decent heuristic.

I think these are 2 independent axis:

1. Destructive by accident 2. Destructive because it was prompt-injected

And

1. Fucks up filesystem 2. Fucks up external systems via credentials

This but unironically

Good riddance

You shouldn't celebrate the killings of heads of state, that would set a bad precedent.

How is it bad? Imagine a world where instead of sending hundreds of thousands young men to die, countries would just launch targeted attacks on the head of enemy's state.

The powerful people that set the rules have made it unacceptable to kill powerful people.

Powerless people? Into the meat grinder!

Would you say the same if iran killed trump?

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. Most people in my social circles have a bottle waiting for a date.

I cannot confirm or deny that I would say the same thing

They're civilians, for one.

Are they? In most countries the head of the state is also army's commander-in-chief.

Yes, but these are traditionally not treated as actual soldiers, but civilians commanders-in-chief-in-name-only.

Only because of professional courtesy between powerful assholes. I have far more sympathy for an infantry grunt from literally any country in the world than any head of state.

If more dictators fear for their lives: good.

If he didn't want to be assassinated maybe he shouldn't have killed all those people.

Quite the opposite - if they know they are risking their lives they would be more reasonable.

It's the stated reason why the United States has an impeachment process. So that they have a process for removing undesirable heads of state without resorting to assassination.

True but other countries don't have an equivalent process.

Most have, but the decition is made by the local politicians instead of foreing nuclear powers. It's actually very similar to the impeachment.

Sorry I phrased that poorly. I meant countries have no means to impeach a foreign head of state so impeachment only serves as a power check if the citizenry disapproves.

Not that I think heads of state fearing for their lives from airstrikes is necessarily good, being able to act with impunity is certainly bad.

The US has a constitution as well? It seems pretty worthless these days since nobody is willing to enforce it..

We already have a bad president.

It feels incredibly performative. Same with sama.

Of course it's performative. They're all presumably on Apple devices. They literally went to their settings to disable auto-capitalization to make some kind of ridiculous point, i.e. "I'm too important too think about capital letters".

I think it’s worse actually, I think the point is “I’m too chill and down to earth, I’m just like you fellow kids”

Because they’re not running a charity
