I'm guessing the watches sold poorly and the chip packages are still large compared to a watch movement, so no new designs.

I am curious as to why not Lua or JavaScript? Lua is what Roblox uses and JS needs no introducton.

** unless you are into cycling/guitars/keyboards/hotrods/whatever then "N+1" is the ideal number of bikes/guitars/keyboards/cars/whatever to own where N is the number you currently have.
IMHO there are a bunch of reasons
* Scala 3 was a Python 3-esque disruptive event
* Perception as an overly-complex kitchen-sink inclusive language
* Kotlin took up the "better Java" mantle
* Rust became attractive to devs not committed to the JVM
* Go became less sucky
* SBT is disliked and Metals was buggy and unstable (and still slow)
* Suffers from the "we won't be able to find devs" problem where Kotlin, Rust and Go don't
* A bunch of community drama drove some devs away to Rust
I say this as someone using Scala 3 with ZIO effects system and Mill build tool and thinks it is fantastic.
I'm not saying brains are the only way to produce consciousness, just that the evidence shows that they are the way animals do here on Earth.
It is extremely unlikely that there is something else involved.
> There is certainly much of physics remaining to be discovered, but in the specific regime covering the particles and forces that make up human beings and their environments, we have good reason to think that all of the ingredients and their dynamics are understood to extremely high precision (Carroll 2021a). Modern physics, in other words, provides evidence for what philosophers call “causal closure of the physical”: physical events have purely physical causes (Loewer 1995, Papineau 1995), at least in the regime relevant to human life. Without dramatically upending our understanding of quantum field theory, there is no room for any new influences that could bear on the problem of consciousness.

I look forward to more precise definitions.
I built half of a MUD-like thing with it but later rewrote it in Scala 3 with the ZIO effects library.
The problem is the people spreading myths and disinformation out of ignorance or to promote their enterprise.
The weak links are producers/mastering-engineers, speakers/headphones and the room when using speakers.

The WIV is 20km from the Huanan market where the pandemic started. There is no direct evidence linking the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 to laboratory work conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.[0] The evidence for zoonotic origin with multiple spillover events at the Huanan market is overwhelming.
This is just one review.

What are you using for interferometry?
> Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.

People racing the Tour Divide, a 2700 mile solo unsupported bikepacking race through the Rocky Mountains, lose weight when riding their bikes 18 hours a day for 2-3+ weeks straight. They describe being unable to choke down enough food even though what they are eating is very calorie dense. Hotdogs, burritos, burgers, pizza, a pound of gummies every day, chocolate milk and ice cream when resupplying, McDonalds where they fill their hydration bladders with PowerAde, anything they can get their hands on quickly when they arrive at a small mountain town which frequently has nothing more than a gas station.

Obviously not a practical solution as you say but they do exercise enough to offset the food when eating as much as they can.
However, not all calories are the same, metabolism is dynamic, and the brain is complex and exerts a powerful influence over behavior.
Increasing exercise will make you hungrier and most people are simply unable to resist this and end up not losing weight. It is why there is a common saying that "you cannot outrun your fork." Restricting calories generally is difficult in today's environment with plentiful calorie dense food everywhere. People don't cook as much as they used to and restaurant meals have more calories than ever.
AFAIK GLP-1 drugs work because they calm the minds desire to eat which is baked in deeply from millions of years of our ancestors struggling to get sufficient food.
