The overall fitness is going to definitely have a positive effect on the perceived energy levels (my Vo2 max is at its highest ever). On the other hand, I have been very fit at other times in my life but have never experienced this "my head can just go on" feeling before. I used to take conscious breaks, do NSDR between meetings and other energy-replenishing tricks because I __needed__ them. It feels like now I don't
Results: CrM supplementation without exercise training and diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, strength, and muscular endurance while promoting favorable changes in selected blood lipids, HbA1c, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Creatine supplementation during an exercise and weight-loss diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, promoted a greater reduction in body fat percentage, and improved muscular strength, endurance, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Supplementation was well-tolerated.
Conclusion: CrM supplementation with and without exercise and diet intervention may help middle-aged and older adults maintain muscle mass and strength while favourably affecting selected markers of health and cognitive function. Individual cognitive and biomarker findings should be interpreted as exploratory.
I was quite inspired by jev-like and built jev compatible layer built on top of gemma.
on my local benchmarks and my personal problems gemma works very well. but training a new attention head for better results in narrow domains should be much easier.
> exchange value in the captitalist political economy.
how can one exist in modern society without being an exchange value in the capitalist political economy?
linux is where it is because it is able to be a critical part of said capitalist political economy. even if you want to be a FOSS contributor all your life, you need someone to figure out the "economy" part of it.
I've taken a few law classes and legal law is frustratingly hard to interpret. I shudder to think what the LLM would end up doing to "follow all relevant laws"
not sure why you're getting downvoted. but if you're building even very popular applications, it is quite easy to see how LLMs are very well suited for this type of consistency job.
- they follow instructions quite well.
- are tireless at doing mechanical ports between languages and frameworks.
Then why aren't people doing that? Microsoft has as much access to cheap tokens as any software company around, right, so you'd think they would be leading the way.
Keep in mind, claudecode and the other coding agents were pretty bad until around Jan of this year (2026). So it's only been about 9 months since devs have had decent coding agents and even less time has elapsed since somewhat wide adoption.
I didn't downvote but I'd expect downvotes for a completely unnuanced thought terminating cliche that ignores everything in the thread. AI fanaticism doesn't help but lots of people don't get downvoted for that alone.
If mathematicians aren't solving problems people are having (which your comment seems to imply), then putting them out of their job with AI is not a bad thing. Of course mathematicians are solving problems, just in a very different way than other professions.
Steam engines actually replaced what a horse does with a machine that could do the same job. So far LLMs aren't doing this - they're producing Lean proofs but very little to actually aid in understanding (again so far pretty much all of these proofs have been extremely difficult optimizations of known techniques). Mathematicians do solve a problem that people have: they build theories that explain the world and give us mental models to navigate questions in science, technology, etc., this just isn't a problem that LLMs solve.
So the issue isn't so much that LLMs will replace mathematicians, but that AI companies bragging constantly about how their machines "solve math" will convince people who don't understand the value of math research to no longer fund it, or students who don't yet understand why learning math is useful for developing their brains that it's a waste of time. That could put mathematicians out of a job without providing a useful replacement.
Motto: a mathematician's job isn't to solve the Hodge conjecture, it's to understand why the Hodge conjecture is or isn't true, and turn that understanding into something that makes it easier for the next person to grasp/use/enjoy.
LLMs absolutely have the potential to make this job easier, but the way in which these companies are using them right now risks being antithetical to that goal.
Don't respond to a strawman argument with another strawman. The post you are responding to ignored the reasons given in the second paragraph. They're just trying to score points by preaching to the choir, not engage with the concern.
> All things AI seems to assume that more and faster is better, but there is no justification of that assumption.
is good argument?
of course faster discovery without human in the loop is better. is that not what humans have been optimizing for the past few thousand years ? faster mobility, faster communication, faster medical recovery etc.
everything modern civilization has to offer is because of a rush to get better and faster. for example, discovering penicillin 2 years early would've saved ~15 million people more.
i 100% agree with your sentiment. but what is the replacement here? go without any insurance or salary? without providing an alternative for better life, this is basically just robbing someone off a livelihood
If he is 75 and still has to work to get by he has already been robbed of his livelihood. The average lifespan for males in the US is 76ish.
Maybe he just does it for the love of the game, but there are so many old, sick, people in pain who have to labor like this just to get by every day.
Universal basic income is a simple and obvious answer. In a few years we will have zillion dollar companies being run entirely by robots making enormous profits. Share the fucking profits with everyone so that everyone can at least live with dignity.

Sure, but what do we do in the US? UBI would be politically and culturally a non-starter here unless it was extremely means tested and limited (making it no longer universal) and all other forms of welfare were repealed (under the aegis of "reducing government bloat and inefficiency.") Americans won't accept spending their hard earned taxes to make the lives of non-whites, immigrants and the indigent poor too comfortable.
Isn't the whole point of UBI that it is universal and equal, e.g. everyone gets XX$ no matter what? If it is tied somehow to behavior then it is not UBI anymore, but more like a tax credit
I take creatine daily but when I'm working out more than a couple of weeks, i feel much better than on weeks when I skip working out.
