This looks like a startup company. Why shouldn't it have a name and logo?

A better title would be "Likelihood of moral injury differs among different combat contexts," though that doesn't serve as quite a catchy title as the original. The problem with "moral injury more common among those with

Why is Grok not in their benchmarks? I don't see comparisons to Grok in any recent announcements about models. In fact, I see practically no discussion of Grok on HN or anywhere except Twitter in general.

A lot of Government contracts that are on the surface multi-million, even billion dollars, aren't payed out immediately in full. Thus, at first glance it may look like they've spent more than has left their pockets

I'm glad you found a car you like. Different cars, different problems, different benefits

Don't drive a car and thus never get a flat. Problem solved.

Anyone know why Douglas Fir wood is considered a sustainable building material? A quick Google search says that species takes 50-100 years to mature

He lost substantial amounts of weight. He sees it as a solution to his problem of being overweight and does nothing to change his lifestyle. I'm concerned that celebrating this drug as a simple solution to Obesity sends that message to

I propose plans that involve the temporary use of medical tools like Ozempic that involve also changing your behaviour and living a healthier lifestyle, especially after losing weight

by Extropy_ 2y ago
This is what I'm saying: personal responsibility. Celebrating this drug as a magic solution to obesity is not right. It is a tool, not a fix

You're suggesting that appetite is the cause of obesity. I don't agree with that notion. Repeatedly giving into your "appetite" will reinforce overeating

Effects or side effects, using a drug changes things. It is not easy to suggest that someone is unable to lose weight, except for clearly disabled people

It depends on the person. Major depressive disorder is an inexplicable depression that is not brought on by the circumstances of your life, I think SSRIs are a suitable treatment for that. I think that it's important to consider all fa

Sure, yes it is aiding people to become healthy in that sense. Is it healthy to rely on drugs to change your thought and behaviour patterns? I definitely see this drug as a useful tool when combined with a plan to not continue using it for

My father has used ozempic. He hails it as a wonder drug, yet he does little to nothing to change his behaviours because he can rely on this crutch. I see that as concerning

by Extropy_ 2y ago
I don't oppose the use of this drug or its release. People should be allowed to do what they will. I see harm in celebrating the drug as a cure to obesity. Of course, certain diseases may make it easier for you to gain weight. Though o

This is exactly right. Let the market decide. If people want to use new experimental drugs, why not let them have at it. They oughta be responsible for their choices
