the whole event was shit, but we're all past the point where we can just say that, because the technology is now so entrenched that it's become unavoidable, so everything has now to jump through hoops to justify its existence and its greatness

don't you worry, people in the public sector who want everything to be private will make sure that the BLS becomes shit enough that the private alternative will end up being appealing, we've seen that millions of times before
GPT-5 was supposed to make choosing models and reasoning efforts simpler. I think they made it more complex.
> GPT‑5’s reasoning_effort parameter can now take a minimal value to get answers back faster, without extensive reasoning first.
> While GPT‑5 in ChatGPT is a system of reasoning, non-reasoning, and router models, GPT‑5 in the API platform is the reasoning model that powers maximum performance in ChatGPT. Notably, GPT‑5 with minimal reasoning is a different model than the non-reasoning model in ChatGPT, and is better tuned for developers. The non-reasoning model used in ChatGPT is available as gpt-5-chat-latest.
reasoning effort is Gemini's thinking budget from 6 months ago

Maybe you should read more than the title than? Like say...the article? Just a suggestion.
that line of "someone says something I don't agree with so I will insinuate they didn't read the article" is tired, seriously
an excerpt from the article you pretend I didn't read (which I did)
But let’s be honest: even throttle-only riding is more active than sitting on a couch
it's also saying things about mental well-being, the sense of community, which I can get behind of course, but there's some sense of course to the bottom in our expectations
No, you are just oversimplifying the issue. Of course, if you were regularly riding before and very fit and change to an e-bike out of laziness, the net effect might be negative, tho even that part is not conclusively proven.
But if you found biking way too exhausting, maybe living in a hilly area, riding an e-bike is ten times better than doing nothing. Would it be even better to ride a non-e-bike? Maybe. Would it happen? Probably not.
your reply is oversimplistic as well
we're now in a world where the youth of developed countries are way more overweight than they were before, because of a radical shift in diet and exercise

I'm not even talking about being fit or anything, just that actual bike riding (normal bikes) or just walking maybe would be actual good news. I understand that people in hilly areas benefit from ebikes, but is this the majority of the people mentioned here? or is it just that we're all like "well, I guess it's better than staying inside all the time eating doritos"? That's why I'm saying that this is a sign that we've given up, we're counting this as some sort of win, which I don't think it is
so the healthiest thing to ever happen to teenagers is transportation devices that allow them to pretend they're exercising... we've really given up
VeejayRampay commented on Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial trial.medpath.com/news/5c... · Posted by u/amichail
"No free lunch" is a reasonable question to ask when evaluating medication, if it would improve the evolutionary fitness of the majority of people. I think this is behind some of the skepticism. If Ozempic is so great then how come our bodies don't just produce more GLP-1? How come we aren't like chimps, with eternally shredded bodies and cheese grater abs, provided we get the protein to support them?
I would guess that getting fat in times of plenty was a feature and not a bug in the ancestral environment, and that's why we get fat today, which is obvious if you think about it. Still, it means GLP-1 agonists are smacking into quick "is it bullshit?" heuristics for a lot of people.
The second point I haven't seen discussed is that weight loss drugs prior to GLP-1 agonists include cigarettes, which (worst case) give you cancer; stimulants, which cause your heart to fail; parasitic intestinal worms, which can kill you but more importantly are just plain gross; and mitochondrial uncouplers, which set you on fire at a cellular level. That's a long history of miracle weight loss drugs which turn out to have horrible side effects. It's not reasonable to think GLP-1 is bad just because of other drugs with different mechanisms, but it certainly causes some skepticism anyway.
that's not why we get fat
we get fat because of the american diet, priori to which people in the world were actually not that fat
the lack of fermented food, the epidemics of ultra-processed, ultra-rich and grotesquely fat and sugary food is why people have gotten fat, which is a relatively recent phenomenon (and which is not as widespread in culture that resist the American diet the most like the French and the Japanese)

Anyway, assuming you're talking about TypeScript, I'm surprised to hear that you prefer Go's type system to TypeScript's. There are definitely cases where you can get carried away with TypeScript types, but due to that expressiveness I find it much more productive than Go's type system (and I'd make the same argument for Rust vs. Go).
