sameesh··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?

sameesh··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI
In my line of work, its certain peoples' jobs to know certain things. If I need a piece of information that somebody else is responsible for understanding, I'm just going to ask directly for what I need instead of trying to research it myself. To research it myself would mean attempting to do somebody else's job, which is just unhelpful for everyone.

sameesh··on Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial
It sounds like the researchers failed to compare their semaglutide group to a calorie-controlled placebo group. The beneficial changes noted in the semaglutide group could very well be due to reduced calorie diet, rather than a specific effect of the drug itself.

This is why people end up skeptical of academic types and science publications.
