Although the article focuses on amateur athletes, i doubt it hasn't hit the pros yet in some way.

Not the first article I've read preaching good Testomonies/anecdotes on ozempic and the like either

I'm still wary about major side effects but rarely do I hear of them... maybe deep down inside I want there to be some because i simply cant believe a drug is this revolutionary


The majority of studies on the long term side effects have so far been with diabetic patients who tend to have better maintained diets. It’ll probably work even better with athletes who have good diets and all that exercise.

The anecdotal reports coming from some sources like plastic surgeons (they specifically were talking about skin and muscle elasticity) may signal some discovery coming down the pipeline for the average person who takes Ozempiv without improving their diet to account for the protein deficit.


Lol never give into Internet pressure.

Especially when you don't know if the feedback given to you is legit or not (copy pasta, ai summarized, or in this case, tech "word salad" to recommend it should be open source)

Release if and whenever you want. Revoke access, "delete" the repo, do a complete rewrite that never ends up in prod, YOU decide.

Have a great day and best of luck (someone not interested at this exact moment to review your GitHub project but enough to reply to this thread - maybe I stumble across your next Show HN though and I hear your elevator pitch).


I definitely gave in to internet pressure, yeah :)) Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it


Luckily I use my phone for most tasks and can avoid my two remaining windows machines unless necessary.

Also I doubt it's just me but every other day when Windows forces an update "restart and update/shutdown and update", upon restarting I am again prompted by Microsofts dark patterns for all the telemetry, defaulted to ON (location, biometrics, etc).

Literally every second update windows wants to re ask me and I have to either select "skip for 3 days" (comical) or walk through each step and toggle each one off...

Unfortunately Microsoft no longer innovates and can only continue to try to data mine but they are fighting a losing battle.

At this point revenge may be best to just use a cracked windows install on a VM using a dummy email. You want telemetry, have at it ;)


Sure your phone doesn't have any google/apple accounts, right?


Apple is pretty awesome at privacy compared to everything else.


The grass isn't greener. With the amount of advertising, tracking, and upselling on iOS and Android, our smartphones are significantly worse than Windows 11.


Completely anecdotal, current student, but some people learn differently from in person class vs online/remote. Also, imo not every degree/course is best done online (e.g., trades, arts, performing arts). Right now I am taking classes which cannot be done online.

I do however understand where you are coming from. MIT courseware is abundant, youtube, library resources, github `awesome` lists...

If there wasn't bureaucracy/capitalism surrounding higher education i wouldn't mind it coming from tax dollars since it would be another log added to the fire per se. Plus it helps to create a stronger workforce (theoretically, assuming graduates). Without the right safeguards, free college edu wouldn't work, would be nice tho


same to your last point

as another person mentioned in this thread about people already combining glp's with other drugs, i can see scenarios in which some people abuse glps with adderall or even pain killers to become literal zombies - foregoing breakfast/lunch breaks, working longer hours... imo it could establish an even greater work demand from companies (implicitly) where if you're not on it, you're not "trying" hard enough.


no Just-In-Time crispr gene editing as the cherry on top??


Nope. Just stuff they can use right now. No magic required!


GLP-1s have high quality double blinded placebo controlled RCTs proving them.

Does anything else you mentioned?


Couple do, though long term studies on a few are missing.

RCT-Proven: GLP-1 Agonists, mTOR Modulation (Rapamycin), NMDA Modulators (Ketamine), Metformin.

Speculative/Limited Data: Senolytics, Hormones and Peptides, NAD+, Nootropics and Adaptogens.

Keep in mind that the absence of published RCTs does not mean an intervention is ineffective; it may just be proprietary knowledge. Plenty of rich, private labs out there doing that kind of work today.


Haha while I agree, the HN post title felt on point with what they were researching so it wasn't so much clickbaity as it was fluff in the article. Usually its clickbait titles and I feel duped

Very cool technology, but I'm curious how much it helps to cool (temperature) as well as the robustness and longevity of the cellulose material


ironically, im glad this post wasn't about that. that would've been too typical of HN imo. why talk about metadata when you can just enjoy the data itself??


same, as someone getting a degree in the climate/energy field this particular bullet point makes me cringe:

"How can we address the sustainability of AI, particularly regarding energy and water use, in regions with scarce resources?"

imo this is putting the cart before the horse and speaks to the overall state of the tech industry now... Instead of "How can we address the sustainability of PEOPLE", we first ask, "How can we address the sustainability of AI" wtf lol.

We have plenty of evidence, research, textbooks, and to their point, indigenous knowledge, to do it ourselves, but they think its best to just feed it all into an AI, hope that the AI will spit back out something that solves these problems, all the while trying to make this AI more sustainable because resources are so scarce that even the people don't have enough.

not trying to say this initiative is simply pandering to disenfranchised groups or PR stunt but i don't think they are serious about actual change.

now im wondering if im getting pranked and this is really a test of llm/ai generated "tech event" to harvest registrant info. strange times indeed


!alive...

But slang always stays ahead of the curve, you could maybe say that's literally what slang is.

cops vs cartels, sports vs PED users, content creators vs algorithmic cancel culture, pirating....

Always gotta stay ahead of those trying to catch you ;) o
