Just a very sad departure from more humanistic values towards "well technically their legal rights take precedence over common good." Especially that he's an "engineer" not a "Googler" or "a person.&q

I simply have no idea what you're babbling about. I'm not trying to be rude, but I really cannot parse what you're saying. Simple RAG is fine for very simple workflows, but semantic similarity vector search has a lot of edge

Background: I work for a PE-owned company and I have friends in PE (associates up to MDs). On your second point: LBOs aren't the only tool in the toolkit, and it's not as popular as it was decades ago, so I would lean towards the

They're good kickstarts/spark plugs for your use-case. The obesity likely is the main culprit-- if I had to guess. Fat stores act as sites for testosterone to be aromatized to estrogen -- so if your E2 is elevated that would be a
