Thanks.

Outside weight-class or aesthetics-driven sports, it’s hard to imagine any scenario where a GLP-1 analog creates a net advantage.

In endurance disciplines the binding constraint is almost always fuel throughput: if an athlete can’t take in and process enough calories, recovery and performance fall apart. Anything that suppresses appetite or slows gastric motility is basically disqualifying.

You can already see how narrow that margin is in the sheer amount of gels, bars, and mixes riders consume during long sessions. From that angle, GLP-1 simply doesn’t occupy the same decision space as substances that expand performance capacity or recovery bandwidth.

Fax is still acceptable in parts of healthcare for a reason — privacy under low-tech constraints is an actual requirement.

Dial-up was slow, but at least the internet still felt human.

Fiber gave us speed, not soul.

Sometimes I miss yelling “Corp Por” into the TUBE — back when the screen wasn’t a window, but a passage.

I’m not an expert, but GLP-1 is a hormone.

Wouldn’t using something like this trigger anti-doping concerns if an athlete took it?

In sports, manipulating appetite or insulin pathways sets off red flags immediately.

It’s interesting to see the food industry treat the same biological mechanism mainly as a market trend rather than a medical one.

If you compare the viewership of Game of Thrones with the readership of the original novels, the gap is enormous — not because one is “better,” but because different media win different kinds of attention.

Most people are never choosing between Being and Time and an HN thread. But if they were forced to choose, we already know which one would dominate sheer engagement.

That doesn’t mean HN replaces philosophy — it just means that attention has its own economics. And any medium that captures attention will inevitably show qualities (good and bad) that heavyweight works simply can’t compete with.

If Jim Keller says it, I’ll believe it.

My Ryzen agrees — the fans just spun up like it’s hitting 10,000 rpm.
