I'm in agreement. It's the article that made the sweeping statement.

Hey, fair enough! To each their own.

Was cost the reason you went for it over tirzepitide? I feel like retatrutide is still way too early to mess with, it's giving me real "vioxx" vibes of messing with too much at once.

I assume they're referring to the brief bit in the post that indicates that oral ingestion leads to a breakdown that makes oral supplements of amino acids pointless. They say it very briefly and they don't really outright assert i

Even if you hadn't lost any muscle mass, zero chance you're going to see the same exercise performance on a calorie deficit.

The article frames these supplements as being purely appealing to "anti science" people but I think that's really unfair. You can believe in medication, believe in science, trust government systems, etc, and still feel like y

I think it's disingenuous to frame this exclusively in terms of the people who are turning down medically approved options for unknown supplements. Dealing with doctors is kind of a pain in the ass. I was very sick a month ago and my d

Sounds like there's some debate to be had here...

I have wondered this as well. Maybe it's trying to train based on which accounts get flagged/ time-to-flag or something? Otherwise... who would bother with this? It's so dumb.

This is also extremely common with LLMs, in my experience. They grep, find something, make it `pub`, etc.

Great, then I'll tell you. It's a bunch of FedRAMP certified Microsoft services.

What's the most common architecture you see for CMMC enclaves, especially those built by outside consulting firms?

The "time" part is what I don't get. If you want to say that "resetting and reingesting all context fresh" somehow causes a problem, that I can see. If you want to say that the immutability of the weights is a probl

I'm not understanding how this is analogous to being killed every 5 seconds as opposed to being paused. Let's call it N seconds, unless you think length matters? > And that computation is equivalent to reading the compressed fo

I noted that there are people who work on designing those sorts of tests and answering these questions and then I described what good evidence would look like.

So what? If a human were unconscious every 5 seconds for 100ms, would you say they are "less conscious"? Tokens are still causally connected, which feels sufficient.

by staticassertion 6mo ago
As opposed to what? There are still causal connections, which feel sufficient. A presentist would reject the concept of multiple "times" to begin with.

> If we think of human emotions the same way, just evolution's way of nudging behavior I think we basically do, the only interesting bit is our perception of phenomenal experiences.

There are fields that focus on these areas and numerous ideas around what the criteria would be. One of the common understandings is that recurrent processing is likely a foundational layer for consciousness, and agents do not have this cur

What do you mean exist outside of time? They definitely don't exist outside of any causal chain - tokens follow other tokens in order. Gaps in which no processing occurs seems sort of irrelevant to me. The main limitation I'd poin

I have no idea what you're talking about. This has nothing to do with having "better fedramp certs". If you are setting up fedramp or cmmc you will be heavily, heavily pressured and incentivized to do so with Microsoft toolin

This isn't it at all. AWS does not have the same sorts of insane cross-tenancy exploits that Azure has had, for example. The reason that Azure has so many customers is very simply because Azure is borderline mandated by the US govern

Depending on the space you work in, you have almost no choice at all. If you're building for government then you're going to use Microsoft, almost "end of story".

It is so hard to test those codebases too. A lot of the time there's IO and implicit state changes through the code. Even getting testing in place, let alone good testing, is often an incredibly difficult task. And no one will refactor

It "means nothing" that the way that government systems get set up for government data is all using Microsoft tooling?
