Higher concentrations of oral bacteria detected in the gut of people who use PPIs. That can’t be a good thing…
I suspect this may not have gone down the way the article is reporting.

OpenAi paid Sama $12/hr for the work and they in turn paid their employees $2/hr.

Yet because workers were reportedly affected by the content Sama cancelled the contract?

I think we all know they would just replace the $2/hr workers.

It doesn’t check out

Yes. Lots of other good research out there that suggests Dinner skipping > Breakfast skipping

These are all the frameworks you need to run and scale a company. This is the tactical stuff that never gets shared, yet actually forms a company’s habits and operations
Re:Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss? on Thursday March 10, 2022 @09:17AM (#30627126)
Yes yes diet and exercise as everyone is saying… BUT…

Cortisol can play a big role here as does metabolism. Are you chronically stressed out? What about your metabolic reactions to different foods?

Get some hormone tests done for the cortisol.

Pick up a CGM (from levelshealth ideally) and keep an eye on your glucose reactions to different foods.

Also, educate yourself about the insulin / glucagon cycle, likely change when you eat

Can someone help me understand why FLIR cameras are not part of the sensor set? Particularly addressing the issue of human related risk? Distance? Target data?
Yeah, why would you not be entitled to that content for no commercial consideration…

Frankly I don’t understand the ethical position of people who use ad-blockers.

Castanet’s true genius is that it was founded by a guy who owned a bunch of radio stations and thus still sells advertising that way. $xxxx/mo for a rotating 250x250

How many people will see it? Mmm about this many hands outstretched as big as a salmon

The thing prints money as local businesses funnel all their advertising budgets to it.

No expectation of performance, like buying a newspaper ad lol

This was even more interesting to read given the context of the Standard Oil episode of the Acquired podcast recently

Optimizing the monetization of attention to serve corporate objectives. Short term priorities for short term goals (quarterly earnings).

The incentive structure is functioning properly, it’s just the wrong one to build something enduring and truly great

There is no real case made for zoonotic origin in this article. The tone of the article exhibits some bias and spurious logic in the support of a zoonotic origin
