Before being an appetite suppressant, it is a medication for diabetes.
The problem is not the margin Novo Nordisk makes on an appetite suppressant, contrary to what the headline says.
The twofold problem is the margin on a diabetes drug, which weighs heavily on patients and health insurers around the world. And the potential supply problems for diabetics, when a vital drug is sold as a miracle weight-loss remedy.
I live in Provence, 200 km (125 miles) from the Italian border.
You can find it at any outdoor market. It’s called “cade”, which derives from the Italian “calde” (hot). It was imported by Italian workers hundreds of years ago.
It’s cooked on site over a wood fire and sold fresh from the pizza oven. One particularity is that it’s thinner than socca from Nice, and is served with pepper and/or ground cumin.
Because it’s thin, it cooks evenly and isn’t creamy in the center, rather like a heavy pancake.
I think it’s a more global movement.
When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.
Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a “learning management system”. A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.
Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.
I understand the statement is about in-game stuff, but I’m guessing a lot of game developers have been using GitHub Copilot and this kind of “AI tools” for months.
It’s quite old: The Black Company by Glen Cook
Thanks for the transparency
Psaum for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers.
After these, I read all her books this year.
Yeah, you’re right, it doesn’t make sense to say that O(f(n)) is good or bad for any algorithm. It must be compared to the complexity of other algorithms which solve the same problem in the same conditions.
Singular Value Decomposition is widely used in machine learning, image processing, natural language processing, recommender algorithms…
Stable Video Diffusion is a good marketing name, but SVD is quite confusing from an academic point of view.
It’s not the best idea to call it SVD, as it already stands for Singular Value Decomposition.
This is the time of the year when I teach to students as part of a work-study program. I like this profile: they’re less academic, more autonomous and mature. What’s more, in this program, there’s much less reproduction of elite classes than you see with other diplomas. It makes my work more meaningful.
On a more personal note, I started taking PrEP treatment on Friday. It’s rather reassuring when I have fun with other boys (like today) to have this double protection with the condom.
Not much to complain about, we’re having a nice September. /s
I just checked: there’s absolutely no problem with this one. And even better: it produces a lot of nectar for the European bees.
They have 300 facial expressions for that.
It’s quite common in the parks and gardens in the South of France, where it’s nicknamed “rince-bouteille” (bottle rincer). I didn’t know it came from Australia.
My niece, who disappeared months ago (she lives off grid, in an anarchist community), has reappeared. I’m going to spend the day with her.
Apart from that, I’m using my vacations to help my partner in her craft business to prepare a fan convention.
My partner is a craftswoman, and she’ll soon be taking part in a fair. She does it 5-6 times a year, and during those times, I spend a lot of my free time assembling and sewing for her.
It’s during these times that I watch to old series (actually, I’m more listening than watching). Right now, it’s Supernatural. I didn’t watch it with any regularity when it first came out.
As a user, I see federation as a system in which one login gives you access to several forums. A bit like Discord, except that Discord is more like chat rooms (the decentralized architecture is not my point).
For me this is a nice but useless feature. I don’t mind having several accounts on several servers, I have a password manager.
And, actually, even in the fediverse, I have several accounts to limit the risk of doxing. I can talk about intimate stuff on beehaw (like being bisexual), because I’m someone else on other instance(s) when I talk about the subject of my PhD or my projects on GitHub.
To take things a step further, the only smart male on board is an orange cat.
