Kajo , to news in Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1,000 appetite suppressant can be made for just $5

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.

Kajo , (edited ) to technology in Where have all the websites gone?

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.

Kajo , to gaming in Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

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.

Kajo , to technology in New “Stable Video Diffusion” AI model can animate any still image

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.

Kajo , (edited ) to technology in New “Stable Video Diffusion” AI model can animate any still image

It’s not the best idea to call it SVD, as it already stands for Singular Value Decomposition.

    Kajo , (edited ) to news in France has banned pro-Palestinian protests and vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism

    This news must be read in the French political context, where far-right ideas are corrupting the minds and islamophobia is the legal face of racism.

    It’s also a way for the government to divide the left, accusing it to promote islamist terrorism (which is obviously a fake).

    Kajo , to news in France bans all pro-Palestinian demonstrations

    This is a loophole that the Minister of the Interior has been discovering and exploiting for months: he does something whose legality is highly questionable (like banning a demonstration), and by the time his decision is legally challenged and overturned, he’s got what he wanted and there are no legal consequences for him.

    Kajo , to news in US Sends Hostage Rescue Experts to Israel and Puts Special Ops ‘Door Kickers’ on Alert

    You’re right, the situation has deteriorated over the last 30 years.

    But what I don’t agree with is the idea that it’s impossible to establish lasting peace in the region.

    Otherwise, we have to accept that their only conceivable future is permanent conflict until genocide arrives. That’s morally unacceptable to me; we can’t settle for horror.

    Kajo , to news in US Sends Hostage Rescue Experts to Israel and Puts Special Ops ‘Door Kickers’ on Alert

    That’s not true.

    In the 90’s, the Oslo Accords was a step forward between Israel (Yitzhak Rabin, and his opponent Shimon Peres) and Palestine Liberation Organization (Yasser Arafat) to find a way to live peacefully together.

    They shared the Nobel Peace Prize for that. And it cost Yitzhak Rabin his life, as he was murdered by a far-right terrorist who wanted to stop the peace process.

    Kajo , to gaming in CD Projekt Red devs unionise after its third round of layoffs in three months

    Unions don’t work the same way in all european countries.

    In France, the union I belong to is organized by local company and public service, with a spawling system of dual cascading federations by geographic sector and economic sector.

    And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don’t know exactly how the other ones are organized

    Getting Nintendo would be a career moment for me

    Who cares about your career? How could it be a justification for anything?

    Kajo , to gaming in All Picross e games to be re-released on Switch

    Picross games are the Nintendo version of the pen-and-paper puzzles called nonograms. I’m pretty sure you can find this kind of puzzles on steam or websites.

    Kajo , to gaming in Looking for games with unique core mechanics

    Fez: a 2D plateformer in which you can change the perspective to create ways to unreachable plateforms

    Baba Is You: a puzzle game in which you move blocks with words written on them, combining them to create small phrases which become new rules of the game.

    Kajo , to news in This used to be a witty title but some pro-censorship arse complained so here we are

    Because the rich and powerful meat lobby wants to make life hell for their meat free competitors. The only logic here is money.
