41,812,102 | comment | altruios | 2024-10-11T18:38:05 | null | The experience of qualia doesn't define any test. By what metrics would we even test it against? Are qualia orderable in any way? Do they have weight, a size, or substance? Do processes of material 'exist' physically in any meaningful sense?<p>We have not devised a test for others' qualia, and the only evidence we have of qualia is our own experience, which is a model of objective reality and not reality itself.<p>Bringing up philosophical zombies: we can't know if everyone inhabits their own universe, independent of each other, filled with zombie replicas. From anyone's perspective: that scenario would be 100% indistinguishable from what Occom's razor suggests. It therefore follows the qualia do not exert any sort of physical presence.<p>There are nonphysical things that we consider to exist. Numbers being the prime example (har de har har). Numbers do not physically exist, but are a property we impose on various groups (of which we distinguish in our own mind). Similar processes like experience do not 'physically exist' but is a property of physical existence (of which, we politely assume of other people to possess, and not call them zombies). | null | null | 41,808,218 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

And so people wind up acting in the same way.<p>Besides, the argument that all of the bad ideas contributed to discovering the right one, is as strong as the empirical argument that white chairs are evidence that all ravens are black. Logically you're right. Discovering the right idea requires disproving all of the wrong ones. Similarly "all ravens are black" is logically the same as its contrapositive, "all non-black things are not ravens". It's just that you've just decided to focus on a search space that is so much bigger, that each data point in it becomes much less important. | null | null | 41,811,829 | 41,808,127 | null | null | null | null |

I basically ended up at the buffet eating and drinking all day long. Sausage and egg biscuits, banana bread, pot roast, steak, pasta, fried rice, cinnamon buns, they had everything. I was stomach-busting full, every minute of every day. I'd gorge myself on a huge plate of Indian food from the buffet, and then a few hours later head to another deck for a lobster dinner. Not to mention, drinking coffee, beer, and wine the entire time.<p>It was kind of insane. And what was crazier was after a few days of this routine I got used to it, and even looked forward to eating more food the next day. It was sort of like directly embracing one of the seven deadly sins to the maximum extent possible. I'm not sure what that experience means other than it seems like the the human body can comfortably arrange itself into a habitual downward cycle fairly rapidly. | null | null | 41,811,881 | 41,811,263 | null | [

Ask them who made minor contributions and suggestions and they'll again have dozens of people to name. Science is an ever-expanding body of work that always builds on its past successes and it's the height of naivete to reduce humanity's effort in a subject down to its few most visible people. It makes for good stories and trivia questions, but it's extremely far from the actual truth.<p>And even if it <i>were</i> true: how could you possibly identify those dozen people <i>beforehand</i>? It'd be like walking into a publishing house and proclaiming that everyone there is stupid because they waste all this money on books that don't end up best-sellers.

These drugs are being used as catalysts for healthy living. The fact that they seem to work thus far is evidence that obesity is on some level driven by powerful hormonal forces that influence impulse control and willpower, which addressed, can give people the freedom to make better decisions and effectively pursue a lifestyle they've struggled to maintain.<p>The cosmetic narrative you're pushing is actually quite disgusting. | null | null | 41,812,057 | 41,811,263 | null | [

41,812,134 | comment | davorak | 2024-10-11T18:40:40 | null | "sensational style" is one part but another is that it is hard to extract truth from Sabine's videos, at least for me, not without doing some serious research as someone with a PhD in physics.<p>Example starting at ~1:00
"Carlo Rovelli is fine with the theory being untestable for practical purposes. So now the situation is that either the theory is falsified or its not falsifiable..."<p>Is Carlo Rovelli fine with it not being testable, in that he is fine with research continuing even though it can not be tested with up coming experimental set ups? That is reasonable lots of research goes on for long periods of time with out experimental verification. From a funding point of view it makes sense to allocate more money to things that have a tighter feedback loop though. If Sabine was going to expose howe much money was going to these topics and where it could be better spent that would be worth watching.<p>Or is Carlo Rovelli ok with the theory being unfalsifiable in the sense that that he is ok with the research not being science? This is the straight forward meaning of Sabine's words, but are a negative attack, and one that would come off as a personal attack to many scientists I have known, one that she does not back up with anything immediately and then goes on to make more negative comments like "and Carlo complains to me because he thinks I do not understand his genius".<p>Ok if Sabine was going to expose Carlo Rovelli as someone who was not really practice science but was getting paid to be a scientist that would be awesome to watch and learn about. That does not happen.<p>"everyone who works on this just repeats arguments that they all know to be wrong to keep the money coming" - accusation of scientific fraud and defrauding the government.<p>Ok what percentage and total amount of founding is going to this? Is there anyone who has come forward? It would be awesome to watch something that exposed something like this. That does not happen either.<p>~3:19 - Arguments saying loop quantum gravity require space to be quantized, but they can not be lorentz invariant without having the quantization go to zero volume, according to Sabine, and no one has done that and extracted back out loop quantum gravity.<p>I am experimentalist and this is not my area. I would want to see a link to a paper/book etc. The analogy to the angular momentum operator comes off as a good place to start investigation/research but is treated dismissively, anologies like this often do not apply in the end but can still be useful.<p>3:53 ~ "length contraction should make that minimal area smaller than minimal proof by contradiction"<p>Ok that does not seem like the gottcha that it is laid out to be. Interesting stuff happens where their are apparent contradictions in physics. If experimental/observational evidence about A produces theory TA and experimental/observational evidence about B produces theory TB and they contradict each other in conditions C that is an interesting point to study look in to etc. This may not be interesting for other reasons, but the apparent contradiction does not make it obviously non interesting.<p>~4:27 ~ "this can't work because these deviations would inevitably so large we'd have seen them already" -<p>Why did Sabine talk about it being a mathematical contradiction if you can make the theory work, but it leads to physical phenomenon that we do not observe?<p>I can not make those two arguments jive in to a cohesive whole. Not that it can not happen, but I can not from this video and that is the conclusion, or similar, I normally reach when watching Sabine's videos and why I do not watch or recommend them generally.<p>I do not see any of the interesting things I mentioned above being discussed or dug into in comments so far or other new interesting takes. The issue for Sabine's videos, at least for me, is not the "sensational style". | null | null | 41,811,140 | 41,808,127 | null | [

It may push users to alternate browsers with more effective ad-blocking.<p>Besides, webRequest implementation in Chromium is a terrible collection of hacks on hacks. It is a good example how not to design or implement API. I will not be surprised if the removal of the API comes from a simple desire to remove that embarrassing code. | null | null | 41,810,062 | 41,809,698 | null | null | null | null |

While we are commenting on an article about a drug which makes you feel less hungry, there by "eating less". The drug doesn't make you use more calories, it simply "makes" you EAT LESS.
Eating less(calories) than your body uses consistently for duration is literally the only way you can lose weight. (outside of literally losing limbs, or surgery to remove mass)
Exercise only augments the process, it all comes back down to EATING LESS(calories). | null | null | 41,811,926 | 41,811,263 | null | [

Not just about Valve or Proton, but about pretty much every FOSS technology that's celebrated here. | null | null | 41,810,128 | 41,799,068 | null | null | null | null |

41,812,193 | comment | andrewmcwatters | 2024-10-11T18:44:59 | null | There are a lot of statistics in dietary behavioral studies and dietary reinforcement that are mostly uninteresting because, frankly, people omit details.<p>You can lose considerable weight at speeds that are actually not recommended simply by dropping added sugar from American diets. So much so that you would need to taper off this removal to stay around 2 pounds of weight loss a week instead of dropping this consumption pattern cold turkey.<p>The biggest difficulty in sourcing food materials or eating out is that we have sugar in <i>everything</i>. We have added sugar in things that in other countries you would have never added sugar into to begin with.<p>The reinforcement habit is directly tied to food reward, sugar consumption, and ghrelin production. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying and is simply refuting what we have come to understand about food science over the years.<p>And frankly, we as a people have not yet completely matured out of the phase of producing or accepting low-fat foods being replaced with high sugar content. Plenty of other nations never had this problem at all, never inherited it, and as a result, don't have to grow out of it.<p>It is staggering how much of our food is incompatible with healthy weight homeostasis, and all of our common supermarkets absolutely work against you unless you are otherwise taught differently.<p>* * *<p>Edit:<p>If you're baking bread for your family every day, even without added sugar, and you don't see the problem here, I don't know how anyone can help you.<p>I'm not calling you a liar. I said you were omitting details. You didn't mention that you're frequently eating carbs. Now you mention that you're baking, and presumably eating, bread every day.<p>This is a big eating habit detail. | null | null | 41,812,111 | 41,811,263 | null | [

41,812,198 | comment | cl0ckt0wer | 2024-10-11T18:45:40 | null | I've struggled with weight loss my entire life. It's gotten to the point where I'm on multiple blood pressure medications, and the dosages are creeping up. And yet I still find myself thinking about eating constantly. Then I took Zepbound. It was revelatory. It was like a curse was lifted, and my hunger was silenced. I'm down 45 lbs in 4 months.<p>Perhaps if I didn't have responsibilities or trauma or stress or a thousand other things I could put all my energy into self control. Unfortunately, I only get so many years on this planet, so I'm going to keep taking the drug and spend my mental energy on other persuits. | null | null | 41,812,118 | 41,811,263 | null | [
