The drug does not directly affect muscle mass (unless you are already very lean), but heavy people are doing resistance training against their own body weight all the time, so they are strong in the absolute, even if not relatively. Weigh less and your muscles have it easier, so weaken, unless you keep them strong with exercise.
I don't think that's the mechanism. A caloric deficit causes your system to metabolize whatever it can. It likes fat because that's energy dense, but muscle is also a good source of energy as well, and the more rapid the weight loss, the more body mass it has to burn.
As far as I know, muscle is only used when fat reserves are depleted or you don't eat enough protein for the brain's personal amino acid supply. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about this, though, maybe an expert can weigh in.

Regex is one of my favorite things to work with. It's surgery. I love having a very specific problem and a very sharp knife. What I hate is chasing down language or library bugs, or undocumented limitations. Of course I would hate it if I had never used it extensively. Its terseness is harder if you only have to pick it up occasionally.

#94Maybe this one relates more with the Americans because Ozempic became a trend there: Why are most people jumping on this drug? At least for me, besides all the cliches and stereotypes about the USA people, there's huge access to nutrition, gyms, surgical procedures, capital for buying healthy food, and medicine in general.

#95I'm disappointed that a lot of the GLP-1 drugs are losing the emergency compounding rules that lowered the price to about $200/month, instead of $500 to $1000/month it will be by April.

Yes, it might be misinformation, but it's convenient misinformation, is that the idea? And yes, it's true that a source like wikipedia could be too, but that has to withstand scrutiny to remain on the site, no such checks or balances in AI.
It's clearly labeled as the output of Sonnet 3.7, not truth. We all need to apply our own critical analysis of anything we read, whether it's claimed to be from an LLM or from Wikipedia. The possibility of inaccuracy isn't a reason to withhold comment.
So what do we do with that information? If I apply a critical framework around interpreting the LLM output, the answer is to reject it for being both not necessarily true but also knowing that the LLM isn't even trying to be correct, it's strictly trying to produce convincing sentences.
What value does a link to a source that's not held to any standard to be informative do? Seems a waste of everyone's time to me.

> At least for me...there's huge access to...capital.
This is not true for more people in the US than the populations of most other countries.
It's also weird to ask why people would do the obvious easy thing that takes no time or effort over the thing that takes more time and more effort. I bet you also make the exact same decision in a bunch of other contexts every day. Just use the pattern matching part of your brain to apply the same motivation to a new context.

Beautiful yet terrifying. I'm glad that regex isn't something I'll ever have to touch.
I think it comes down to the syntax being used to make regex. It is borderline an assembly language level of making them. Better language tools would make it easier for people to grok. Basically instead of using chars like ?^()$ and the like lets use words people understand.

Also sample size of one, but with the weight loss from semaglutide, I've gotten back in the gym and I can now lift more weight than I ever have. It feels fantastic (both the weight loss and being strong)
I envy you. I tried three times and got bad side effects each time, so I've given up :(
I feel for you, friend. The safest way, however, is to make hunger your friend, and walk an hour or two a day. That may not work well with your work schedule, but you can override your body with your mind, unless your mind suffers because of our tech work's energy needs.
And, it takes me a day or two to get past a processed sugar addiction. After those couple of days, the body starts getting used to not having that "crack" energy source be a part of its desire-base.
Good luck, stavros, you can do it! And the sooner you start, the quicker you can get over the initial hump of resistence. Perhaps you can carrot yourself along by knowing that you WILL feel much, much better as the pounds start coming off and your body starts being able to walk a bit further or lift a few more weights. Fight the food inertia, my brother.
If you really want extra help, contact the Creator of the universe in the morning and evening, and ask It for help. If you do that with an intention to be able to better help others, you will find that the universe, itself, will become your ally.
