41,812,800 | comment | golergka | 2024-10-11T19:36:28 | null | > a system that requires obscene amounts of self-control if you wish to maintain physical health<p>That's million years of evolution with food scarcity and modern capitalist world which created unprecedented abundance of food (and other things). And before you compare it to Europe — europeans still smoke much more than americans. Tobacco is also just a chemical that decreases effects of obesity, just in a different form. | null | null | 41,812,339 | 41,811,263 | null | [

41,812,822 | comment | evanjrowley | 2024-10-11T19:38:11 | null | My opa was also a Dutch POW and I believe he was working in that same mine on the same day. When it happened, he was deep in the mine, which was evacuated because people inside initially thought the blast was an earthquake. Being a POW was without question extremely hard, but it was the bombing of Hiroshima that resulted in PTSD lasting many years after the war. He survived, retiring in Florida, and passed away in the late 80s. Some US government scientists asked if they could study his body, believing radiation exposure affected his long term health. It seems they were correct because his bones were found to have a slightly blue tint to them. | null | null | 41,807,992 | 41,807,681 | null | null | null | null |

41,812,824 | comment | beezlebroxxxxxx | 2024-10-11T19:38:17 | null | I agree. I think the conversation has unfortunately been dominated by an individualistic strain of moral judgement. Whether so and so, this person or that person, should take Ozempic-like drugs is often discussed in binary terms of near moral and personal failing or not. I think the drugs are helpful to people who really need them --- so long as the people really need them.<p>The problem is that conversation overshadows the much more important big picture conversation: An entire nation is now becoming synonymous with poor health from obesity and we're not addressing many of the core nationwide reasons for that.<p>America was once proud of and eager to prove how fit and able its people were. Now the very idea of proper nutrition and exercise is deemed a nonstarter, "impossible", or an imposition on personal liberties. The existence of Ozempic-like drugs should not absolve us from the imperative to change how we live as a nation for the sake of our health. | null | null | 41,812,586 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

The food industry creates calorie concoctions that can barely be called food, are dirt cheap to make and rakes in profits. People get sick. The pharmaceutical industry sells drugs are stupid high profit margins so that people can keep on living.<p>It is not a conspiracy, but it's a good feedback loop for corporations. All that money allow them to flood the scientific community with their sponsored studies, dominate news broadcasts (confusing consumers) and even influence the food pyramid, which is almost upside down.<p>I've been on a slow quest to improve health and lose weight. It's really, really slow, far slower than what most people would like. But cutting added sugars to zero (including and most especially high fructose corn syrup) gave almost immediate benefits that kept me going. Sugars (and carbs in general) make you retain a lot of water. Cut those, and you'll see a major difference in the scale in a couple of weeks. Is it mostly water(but not entirely!) Yes. It doesn't matter, our lizard brains interpret that as success. That also reduces hunger, which is a positive feedback loop. | null | null | 41,811,558 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

41,812,839 | comment | mlsu | 2024-10-11T19:39:07 | null | My view about obesity has shifted dramatically since Ozempic came out. Before this, I didn't think about it too much (I am not obese myself).<p>I notice now that there is a LOT of judgement, bias(?), around obesity, that people, obese or not, carry with them [1]. I certainly carried that bias, and the reason I noticed it was because Ozempic is literally an external substance that you take that simply makes obesity go away. So if you believe (like most of us unconsciously do) that obesity is a personal failing or an issue of willpower, an issue of personal merit -- HOW is it possible that a chemical pill, an external chemical process, can SO effectively resolve it? When no amount of hectoring and moralizing and willpower can? My inability to square that circle really changed my thinking about obesity in a fundamental way.<p>Already there is a reaction to Ozempic -- like people thinking that taking Ozempic is a personal failing, or judging celebrities, for taking it, thinking it's the "easy way out" -- I think the origin of that is this very deep unconscious bias that we all have about what obesity actually <i>is</i> fundamentally.<p>My view: It is a health condition, that people do not choose. Not unlike diabetes, celiac, or clinical depression. We should be focused on how to improve the lives of people who suffer with that health condition. We all agree insulin is unequivocally a good thing; that it's not a "personal failure" or "cheating" to take insulin; that it really is simple as, diabetes is a health condition and insulin is used to treat it. Ozempic? Same. Exact. Thing.<p>It's really heartening to hear your experience. Your post really struck me, I felt exactly the same way after getting on a CGM + Insulin Pump for my Type 1 Diabetes. Nobody EVER thought I had a lack of "personal responsibility" or an "issue of willpower" for going low or high on shots of Humilin and NPH.<p>Thank fucking god for Novo Nordisk.<p>---<p>[1] see: this thread! | null | null | 41,812,493 | 41,811,263 | null | [

Governments corrupt anything and everything they touche and are the primary reason that monopolies exist. Why are there 3/4 major network providers in the US? Because they received billions of dollars in grant money from the goverment and did not have to compete in the market with prices. Do you know who is one of the biggest individual consumers of oil? Take a look at the military industrial complex. Want to know why Microsoft is so far ahead of Linux? Take a look at how much money the US government has paid to Microsoft/tax cuts/grants.

41,812,862 | comment | adventured | 2024-10-11T19:41:28 | null | Yes. Looking out 30, 50, 100 years science will further resolve the obesity problem that has plagued the US since the 1980s. There is no scenario where you radically alter such a gigantic, disconnected, complex culture such as the US has. The old joke was that the US would solve this with pills (so to speak), and that's what is going to happen.<p>If you have a tiny, homogeneous culture it is still very difficult to radically alter it in the span of a couple decades (think: Sweden, Finland). For something the scale of the US, with the diversity of the US, there is no possibility. Anything suggested as comprehensive would be fantasy. There are only small changes that could be done, eg relating to sugar consumption limits in drinks and food; some would have a meaningful impact, however you still won't fundamentally change the culture's calorie problem.<p>Getting thinner will do extraordinary things for rebooting the malfunctioning US. Obesity does a lot of harmful things to work ethic, longevity, quality of longevity, productivity, mental capabilities, to say nothing of course diabetes and cancer and so on. | null | null | 41,812,691 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

It's <i>hard</i> to use our brains to reason. It takes practice, and the respresentation of the "reasoning" always ends up being alien to our actual cognitive experience. We <i>literally have invented whole paradigms of how to write this stuff down</i> such that it can be communicated to our peers.<p>So yeah, LLMs aren't ever going to be "better" at humans at reasoning, necessarily, simply because we both suck at it. But they'll improve, likely via a bunch of analogs to human education.

It's a little awkward trying to have an N-way conversation when you can only reply to one response at a time. | null | null | 41,812,782 | 41,808,127 | null | null | null | null |
41,812,897 | comment | hackinthebochs | 2024-10-11T19:44:31 | null | Getting tired of seeing this guy's bad arguments get signal boosted. I posted this comment on another LLM thread on the front page today, and I'll just repost it here:<p>LLMs aren't totally out of scope of mathematical reasoning. LLMs roughly do two things, move data around, and recognize patterns. Reasoning leans heavily on moving data around according to context-sensitive rules. This is well within the scope of LLMs. The problem is that general problem solving requires potentially arbitrary amounts of moving data, but current LLM architectures have a fixed amount of translation/rewrite steps they can perform before they must produce output. This means most complex reasoning problems are out of bounds for LLMs so they learn to lean heavily on pattern matching. But this isn't an intrinsic limitation to LLMs as a class of computing device, just the limits of current architectures. | null | null | 41,812,523 | 41,812,523 | null | [
