    Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve’s Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it’s >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan’s Lab.

    Gotta be Ozempic.

    Too many famous people who’ve been overweight for decades suddenly losing weight in the last couple of years.

    Nothing wrong with it though, hopefully it will start helping regular people lose weight as well.

        I 'm with you, truely.

        But what you’re describing is just how science works in a world where we’re trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.

        As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we’ll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.

          The examples given are not problems with science and time-scales. They are examples of the corrupting influence of money. Companies push their product as being fantastic, and deliberately cripple any science that would challenge their profits. Cigarettes are probably the most famous example of this.

      People like Gabe are exactly the type that semaglutides were made for. Good for him either way.

      Or he was eating to compensate his frustration to promote software for Windows and since they made Proton, he is happy again.

    I assumed this was leftover April fool stuff. Does he really look that good all the sudden? I swear he was just photographed for another story within the last couple months that he looked the same in.

    Damn damn, good for him if real.

    The actuators are quite surprising. They want to provide feedback to the brain, not just “listen” it’s waves, but “tell” it some too…

        The problem with anything Elon Musk does is that it’s Elon Musk doing it and I don’t trust him one bit.
