So what the fuck is your point?

I don't even know I read this board and all the fucking dumb opinions.

Feel free to fuck off then

This idea that it is education is just so incredibly stupid.

Everyone knows what they need do to loose weight.

The problem is we have an environment that in every way promotes over eating and eating hyperpalatable food is pleasurable in the moment.

Totally agree. My father is 75 and started taking GLP1. He stopped drinking immediately, lost 25lbs already and I can't imagine hasn't already added some time to his life.

The calculus at 75 is much different than at 35 in terms of what "for life" means.

It seems like there could be an issue too that it just stops working that well 10 years down the road. Not an issue for my father at 85 the way it would be for someone at 45.

I have lost 30lbs this year and even the difference between .5 and .7 is noticeable to me.

There is also the variable that you can work out too much. I did a brutal 30 minute glycolytic conditioning session on Friday and it just doesn't matter how much protein I consume the next day. Something with ghrelin goes off the chart and the next day takes huge will power to not just eat everything.

I think it is even worse with max effort weight lifting.

I think a better framing is trying to understand biology before the microscope.

While the methods may look ridiculous to us today, the microscope doesn't just spring into being spontaneously. There needs to be a field of inquiry and ignorance that the tool evolves from in order to answer questions.

The reality that economics in 2026 is a type of folk science lacking its microscope or telescope doesn't mean the inquiry is useless.

"Economics is bullshit, the end" is not useful at all.

The pricing is totally absurd to the point I don't even want to investigate this further because the pricing is so stupid.

Really? That doesn't line up with this forum.

As a non-software engineer reading this forum it sounds like everyone is basically von Neumann working on Operator algebras and Lattice theory.

I assumed that is why the view of LLMs is so negative on here. While Claude seems kind of amazing to me I am not a genius working on Lattice theory like most people here.

Most people overestimate themselves. Everyone deludes themselves into thinking they're talented. And in fact, most people are talented at something.

The problem is this: the moment you think you're talented, you stop growing.

As you know, programming isn't about a single right answer—it's about finding the optimal solution for the moment. What was correct in the past may not be correct now, and because it's tied to hardware, specs change frequently.

And honestly, everyone's workflow is different, so opinions on AI are bound to differ. Arguing over whether it's universally good or bad based on one's own case is just a waste of time. So I just let people think what they want.

True academia and industry aren't something that can be solved by a handful of geniuses. I think an industry that can be supported by the untalented majority is a healthy one.

The media portrays programmers as geniuses who can bring down the world, but that's just media hype. Considering the complexity of modern society, the era where one person can do everything is over. I think the age where AI becomes absolutely necessary is coming.

I believe the programmer's role will shift from reading all of AI's complex code to installing guardrails that the AI code won't go beyond. Of course, a tiny minority of programmers will generate the datasets to feed the AI. I think that minority will be extremely smal

Of course not. I like to complain that AI is dangerous and should be regulated and then out of the other side of my mouth complain that it is unfair and a gimmick if the government tries to regulate anything.

Why? Because I am a social media addict that lives in 2026 and I don't know how to relate to things in the world that don't involve complaining.

Complaining you see is more form of epistemology and entertainment at the same time to me. Reasoned debate and nuance just doesn't get enough likes for me. I am all about the emotional response to a topic.

and the investigator vs the anonymous collective compressed version of whatever is in question.

Abortion comes to mind for myself. I would probably be considered rather conservative but to me any abortion law is absolutely insane. If I got a woman pregnant though I would want to have the child.

So am I for or against abortion?

To me, all modern "politics" is really just the emotional reaction to a slogan and bumper sticker version of a complex issue.
