Your dog doesn’t have to be a service dog to be in the airport. For your other examples it depends on if the establishment allows dogs or not.

so you're in the USA and want service dogs to be prohibited? again, where is this an issue? most people do not have service dogs...

the vast majority of restaurants are already dog-free. which cities are you in where this is a problem? in Manhattan for instance basically all of them prohibit dogs under very particular circumstances like there's an outdoor area.

This site is also guilty. Why can’t you hide your karma from the top and read all comments without the unreadable colors they give downvoted comments? Forcing you to play stupid games. Unsurprising since this site is from the same Silicon Valley.

People will give excuses for this. Guess what, meta and Google have their own too.

seems expensive. distillation is inherently impossible to defend against. sit back and let your competitors do the hard work. they'll whine and say it's illegal, but they shouldn't complain, they will reap what they sowed.

how many billions of compute are wasted because this industry can't align on some binary format across all languages and APIs and instead keep serializing and deserializing things

True open source is dead. Ai and big tech will eat it instantly. Dual licensure is ok (AGPL+paid). You can disagree but then don’t whine when someone instantly repackages and markets your tool and gets paid when you don’t.

> It's a matter of access to hyper palatable calorie dense food. The more of it around, the more likely people are to get fat.

Now there’s something we agree on. If only we could agree that no one is stuffing cheeseburgers down people’s throat other than themselves. So close.

Once the shame around disgusting fattening food has reached a critical mass the problem will solve it self.

Ironically the excuses you make for them only worsen the issue. If fat people and the food they ate were appropriate shamed they both would cease.

FYI in Japan fat people are ruthlessly bullied. Fat people are rare. Food for thought, pun intended.

Stop tolerated junk.

If you can be disciplined about taking a drug you can about food. How do you explain correlations in obesity across cultures? Genetic superiority? Again, imho just making excuses for laziness. The same logic you’re applying here also applies to even taking the drug and picking up refills from the mail…

Also look at obesity rates across time within the same country. It’s clearly not an issue of discipline, it’s an issue of what’s being eaten.

Some things require talent like your examples, weight loss does not imho. The disparities in obesity and culture within country says it all.

Honestly don’t understand it. Feels like a lack of discipline. I was 250. Plugged in a bunch of numbers into an app and it gave me a calorie count per day. I brought a scale with me everywhere, used ChatGPT to guesstimate calories, I added 50% for good measure. A year later I’m 175. You can’t do this even with drugs you’re gonna get fat anyway.

I’m most curious about someone like me vs someone who lost the same amount on glp1 with respect to these stats
