tick_tock_tick··on Plunging test scores are a slow-moving catastrophe
That's not even vaguely true a low dose is effective enough at reducing hungry enough to get slow and steady weight loss and require zero planning or effort on the users part.

The only time you need a dietician is if you want a high enough dose you barely want to eat at all.

He just picked the strongest predictive characteristic we have data on. You're the one trying to turn the statement into something it isn't.

> I think a richer analysis with wealth, parental education, english as a first language cofounders might be helpful.

We have all that data it's just significantly less predictive of outcome then race.

> I'm an atheist myself but I cannot help but think that a lot of our western issues is because we generally no longer see the world from the lens of religion.

Yeah it's a fun situation to be in I'm also an atheist but while not perfect the Judeo-Christian moral and legal framework is pretty damn good compared to everything else we've created.

> It's much more effective to address the obesity problem on the front end.

Is it? GLPs cost literally pennies to manufacture in bulk. The government could easily justify a trillion to just buy the rights and give it away for free and still come out ahead on healthcare cost savings.

Everything your suggesting sounds like a lot of work by comparison.

tick_tock_tick··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
I mean it sounds like your "bubble" includes not reading the law in question? Not sure if anyone can do much to help you at that point.
tick_tock_tick··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
So your saying they are 100% correct and Anthropic is a supply chain risk? All you're doing is trying to justify why they shouldn't be labeled truthfully rather then saying it wasn't the truth (probably because you know it was).
tick_tock_tick··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
So they confessed to being a supply chain risk themselves and you're still arguing against the designation?

Private companies can not be allowed to control what our military does I feel like I'm in a crazy worlds how can people possible be arguing for that.

tick_tock_tick··on EU Floats Canada Becoming the Bloc's First 'Associate Member'
> (as usual, the key blocking point that will need lots of work will be food, eve more than it is with the US, I wish we could scrap that entire part to get a v1 going quickly but alas it's not how trade deal work)

I mean food/dairy/autos (which is also a major EU issue) have been 90% of the issues with Canada/USA trade for decades too so I have my doubts of them figuring it out any better.

I guess Canada is way more motivated then ever before as rapid souring of the relationship with the USA from this point would be a near economic collapse for them.

That's not happening or if it did they'd lose a third of the members doing it.

I mean it's surprising to think you're 99% sure while being wildly off base. Everything in there require intent.

People don't invest in the US from Europe because they love the US, but rather because investments in Europe are shitty.
tick_tock_tick··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
What are you joking Canada has nothing. Seriously look what they actually export they're a natural resource depot for the US. They don't even refine their own products.

I mean they caved because they don't have a choice. Look at how their economies have done since the great recession.

Like what? The big one people always try to bring up when they make coy statements like this is Roe v. Wade but no one thought that was a strong ruling. Even later justices who were strong proponents of women's right to chose like Ruth Bader Ginsburg thought it was a shit ruling.

It's not AI the BBC is just that bad at news. Serious read anything by them at it's like they hate real information and just want random ass quotes from people.

Almost all my tool/skill scripts are in python purely because the standard library has almost everything under the sun in it.

I've never tried it for audiobooks frankly didn't even know it supported them.

> Let me provide a per-folder template for extracting season / episode information.

That's frankly not what I would call a bug and a bunch of work for near zero benefit. Not to be mean but why do you care? and if it really bothers you just use hardlinks let jellyfin see what it needs and you can have your pretty version for youself.

Like what honestly I've been running one for years and have had nearly zero issues.

DRAFT: DON'T MERGE CI TEST

and then they forget to close em when they go another route and they sit around for 2 months until they auto close or they fix it up into something reviewable. It's been a thing at literally every place I've worked are you really saying you don't see that?

tick_tock_tick··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
I mean honestly you'd be hard pressed to find much support for your view even among socialist that adamantly believe government should control much more.

Most of the arguments come from concerns about 2nd order effects and distortions then claims of "efficient".

I guess overall it's more both "sides" of said argument think your opinion is bad/wrong/incorrect so you find little to no support in any model.

Nah there will be a new model and a new OS version on it that will only lets you use the App Store (30% tax of course). People here will complain and a fuck ton of people will dick ride Apple with bullshit about how they shouldn't buy that new laptop and they should feel privileged for Apple allowing any money to go to the person actually providing you value.

> I don't know why you brought up records, especially sub-ultra.

To point out the performance difference is universal across all distances/speeds.

> and it very much might not matter because of how many things can go south in such an event compared to shorter races.

So your argument is now RNG plays a bigger role so eventually they'll score a win by luck?

> Yes, these events have fewer participants, but nonetheless, even at the most of elite of these events, sometimes women win, and it's not always because the best man didn't show up that day. Big's Backyard Ultra attracts the best in the world, but it was won by a woman in 2019 and 2020.

Are you arguing for me or against me with this line. That's basically a perfect example of the argument I used in my first paragraph.

tick_tock_tick··on Female US rower completes historic solo journey from California to Hawaii
I think you're confusing limited participation and what such a small group of people doing these events means for single individuals to "win" an event. Women are more like to win in these events then others because there is less competition overall so you get more anomalous results rather then the male biological differences stop dominating the outcome.

You are right in that "strength" isn't the dominating factor for these events or why males go so much faster/farther but rather VO2 max and for peak athletes males normally maintain a good 10% lead due to biological factors.

The male vs female 100 meter:

9.58 vs 10.49 = female record is 9.5% longer to run

Male vs female 200 meter:

19.19 vs 21.34 = female record is 11.2% longer to run

Male vs female 50km

2:38:43 vs 2:59:54 = female record is 13.35% longer to run

The difference also doesn't really change once we start going really long either

6 hour: 98.5km vs 85km male ran 15% farther

12 hour: 177.410 vs 153.600 male 15.5% farther

24 hour: 319.614 vs 278.621 male 14.7% farther

48 hour: 485.099 vs 436.371 male 11.17% farther

6 days: 1045.519 vs 928.577 male 12.6% farther

I mean that's probably the most European take I've ever heard the government should be able to read all your messages and companies shouldn't be able to blink more than 3 times a second.
