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


bookmarked! sweet app

are you doing this real time or in a batch mode/daily scrape?

personally it would be useful to maybe subscribe to key words and get notifications for specific cities


> are you doing this real time or in a batch mode/daily scrape?

I'm transcribing the previous day starting 1AM every day, which is about as much as my old MacBook I have can handle. I'm in the process of applying for the Broadcastify Calls API which should give me access to real time feeds but it will be a challenge to get the compute needed to handle real time transcriptions.

> personally it would be useful to maybe subscribe to key words and get notifications for specific cities

This is a feature I have planned. It will come with a major disclaimer about whisper transcript hallucinations.

Edit: spelling


> I'm in the process of applying for the Broadcastify Calls API which should give me access to real time feeds

I'd be really interested to hear how you get on with this - I've been wanting to add these kinds of feeds to https://ambiph.one but it looks like they're not issuing new licenses for the feeds and the Calls API looks like it's write-only from the docs?


excellent, keep it up


plugging https://freedombox.org/

personally have not used but glad things like this exist


cosign, I'm more of an angular dev, but my last job was heavy on migrations... by the time you complete one major version migration across ALL repos/libs/deps and mitigate the remaining prod issues, a newer version comes out and you press reset.

it seems that software has taken on the marketing of hardware. just like we've come to expect a "new" iphone every year, we expect a new framework version every year, regardless of any major improvements that justify the effort.

i get how the microservice/microfront-end architecture makes these updates painful so you want to be mindful of not getting too far behind LTSs but i think being on the latest version just to be on it has become pure bragging rights for most tech companies.


lol which is funny because i think twitter updated their post rankings to boost those with images/links...but i guess that makes sense considering twitter is mostly text-based trying hard not to get left behind the other more video/media-centric socials like tiktok.

edit: maybe not links but just media
