Strong diasgree on that. I’ve had great results from uploading my schema, uploading a query to optimize (multiple joins, multiple subqueries, etc., that kind of thing), describing the output set I want and letting it come up with a query.
I would actually say I’ve had the _best_ luck with SQL.
Yeah, that's what's worked for me in maintenance. I no longer weigh myself every day but I do at least several times a week. If I get too high, I know to slam on the brakes for a couple of days (at least).
My wife, OTOH, she can't do that. Seeing her weight every day emotionally impacts her, and she eats emotionally.
I couldn't agree more. It's a real struggle to avoid crap at grocery stores. If you stick the produce section and the meat sections, you're in good shape. Once you start hitting the prepared foods, the frozen dinners, the candy aisle, the soda aisle, the chips and crackers aisle, it is really very hard to eat healthily.
I read through the rest of the comments under this article and I saw your name pop up frequently. I'm sorry you're having such bad weight and health problems, and I hope you're able to make some progress.
In the stomach, GLP-1 inhibits gastric emptying, acid secretion and motility, which collectively decrease appetite
GLP-1 is of relevance to appetite and weight maintenance because it has actions on the gastrointestinal tract as well as the direct regulation of appetite.
Beyond the scientific facts, if you read anything that people who take these drugs say, you'll find that turning off the "food noise" is perhaps the most central theme. So yeah, GLP-1 drugs do suppress appetite.
I'm not arguing against exercise, but with GLP-1 drugs, you literally do not need to exercise to lose weight.
In my late 20s, I lost about 60 lbs of weight, almost entirely through a small number of dietary changes--zero beverages other than water and unsweetened coffee, zero french fries, zero bagged snack foods, zero going out to eat for lunch. I also practiced intermittent fasting, sporadically, for 24 hours. I didn't change my exercising at all.
Now, since I lost the weight, I've taken up more exercise (bike, jog, lift) and I've maintained a steady weight for almost 15 years now.
Bodybuilders say "abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym." They've got a point.
Cheaper, but not easier.
I'm a "Calories In, Calories out" type guy, but it does seem accurate to say that there is a large percentage of the human population--worldwide--that cannot adapt to modern lifestyle, work types, and food availability. It galls me to say it, but keeping a percentage of the population on appetite suppresants may be the most cost-effective way to control obesity worldwide.
Obesity is skyrocketing around the world. In France, traditionally considered a healthy country, in 2020, 47% of adults have a BMI greater than 25. As of 2014, 24% of French adults have an obese BMI of 30+. (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelocal.fr%2F20250527%2Fhow-serious-is-frances-obesity-problem / https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ameli.fr%2Fparis%2Fassure%2Fsante%2Fthemes%2Fsurpoids-obesite-adulte%2Fdefinition-causes-risques / https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FObesity_in_France). France today is similar to the United States of maybe 20-30 years ago. Let's hope the trendline changes!
Obesity is surging in India, China, even Africa.
Another factor of obesity, particular in the United States, is that it's strongly correlated with race. Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans are all more than twice as likely to be obese as whites, and east Asians have very low obesity rates (though this too is changing). Again, if medicine can help narrow some of the health disparities and improve eating patterns, IMHO, it's probably a good thing.
Dropping all the packets means that Russia doesnâ(TM)t have any contact with the outside world. Which is a boon to despotic regimes because alternative views aka âoethe truthâ gets throttled which only works to help keep whatever autocrat thatâ(TM)s there in power.
If you really want to kick Russia where it hurts donâ(TM)t buy any of their energy resources and work to bring down the price of what there is.
Perhaps people should demand a refund for the book. Thoughtful editing is actually a large part of the cost of getting a book published!
Given how much of your time you seem to spend here posting about LLMs and the repetitive nature of your posts, I'm starting to think you're one of them!
I don't think " success" means what they think it means. This game isn't even going to break even unless I'm missing something.
You're not missing something. Much like Disney's "Snow White" was called a "success" despite bombing both at the box office and on streaming, the corporate media stooges will blithely state the complete opposite in an attempt to hide abject failure. Ubisoft is no different.
AC fans waited years to get a game with samurai's based in feudal Japan. What they got is a "samurai" game with no actual Japanese samurai protagonist. Ubisoft's reason for this is painfully obvious to everyone. This is why Japanese consumers have largely rejected it and has a lot to do with why sales have tanked overall.
There's a saying for this that ends with "go broke." It's slipping my mind at the moment, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.
If more companies would not only put a monetary bounty on these crooks but also specify "dead or alive," perhaps it would start to put a dent in their activities. They're already operating from countries that either look the other way or actively assist them in their activities. Putting a death mark on them ups the stakes considerably and allows the use of...ahem...alternate actors...ahem...that can operate beyond the law to get actual results.
No. I'm not moving the goalposts. Anytime I hear "Americans don't want those jobs"...In reality it's the furtherest thing from the truth. It's that companies don't want to pay a higher cost on labor. I've worked in factories and I'd take a factory job tomorrow. I know I'm not the only one. If you or your party persist in these falsehoods they'll continue to lose more voters. The number of Hispanics that voted for Trump is astonishing. Do your research: "Invasion" on YouTube Red Pill America
People have complained about stagnant wages for decades now. The fact is there is no upward pressure on wages anymore because democrats are willing to import all the cheap labor any corporation could want - both legal or illegally.
Until people understand how they're being lied to their wages will only stay the same if not go down with inflation eating at their paycheck.
As horrible as Trump is, he's willing to defend jobs and close the border. None of which we saw in the last administration.
Nor do they want those jobs.
You mean I donâ(TM)t want the high paying electronics job shipped to China??? I guess you think yourself as some amazing Kreskin by saying that!
Iâ(TM)m sure that there are also a lot of programmers who were forced to train their H1B India replacements - they didnâ(TM)t want their jobs either right???
From what is suggested is that any job that can be done at a lower wage by some foreign worker illegal or not is a job âoethat an American does not want.â
This same level of baloney is exactly what put Trump in office!
For those that want to dig into this further find âoered pill America YouTube channel and the story âoeInvasion.â
Anybody that says that itâ(TM)s âoea job that an American doesnâ(TM)t wantâ deserves to be voted out of office immediately I donâ(TM)t care what party.
Itâ(TM)s along the same lie that âoecomprehensive immigration reform is needed.â No, it wasnâ(TM)t needed because we now have the lowest rate of border crossings in decades.
I donâ(TM)t like a lot of things Trump is doing and frankly heâ(TM)s dead wrong on any number of things. But hearing the words that âoeitâ(TM)s a job Americans donâ(TM)t wantâ bullshit infuriates me to the point of voting for him for a completely unconstitutional third term.
Really democrats, figure your shit out. All those Hispanics in the Southwest that supported Trump and gave him the presidency - and will do âoethose jobsâ - have figured it out!
If Trump accomplished anything itâ(TM)s showing the malarky about the border that was foisted on everybody!
"Cruel" plan to "block" wifi.
There is no blocking of wifi going on here, just elimination of a program where some people's wifi is paid for by everyone else. The US Constitution never intended for the federal government to be buying stuff for individual private use, and does not grant such powers. Stopping something we were never supposed to be doing in the first place: So cruel!
Reactor error - core dumped!
