Absolutely nothing, if you only eat a few ounces. But a lot of places will server you a 12 oz ribeye steak which has 900 calories all by itself. Add on a side of french fries and a sugary beverage and you get a days worth of calories in a single sitting.
When you are on a GLP medication, commonly your digestion slows and will make you really prone to constipation and acid reflux. I've learned to eat just 3-6 ozs when I do steak, and generally opt for the veggies instead of the potatoes now. Feel much better in the morning.
Yeah I think the fries and sugary beverage would be contributing to the “crazy stomach pain” a lot more than the steak. But the person I’m replying to made no mention of those things..
Yeah, I think I got a little lost with mention of the side dishes in my comment. Point is, I'm on these medications and when a 12 oz ribeye comes out from a restaurant, I don't feel any need to eat all of it. I often eat less than half or split it with my spouse
A 12oz ribeye is a pretty generous serving; it's not something that sneaks up on you.
The surprising thing for me, having settled into a ~1400kcal budget, is how tricky it is to hit protein goals. You go into this thinking it'll be like going low-carb, you'll just eat a lot of beef, but the fun cuts are not efficient protein delivery vehicles. Hitting the kcal budget is effortless; getting the protein in, not so much.
Indeed, there are even SaaS companies that will set it all up for you! I recently went through rounds that had a pretty blatant basic IQ test. I pushed back many times but the recruiter insisted it was required. I eventually complied, but it felt weird. I worry now my IQ score is in some database forever attached to recruiter's candidate profiling systems.
I don't think I'd do it and I know I'd think much less of any company that used general cognitive testing as part of their candidate qualification process (I'd be working with a team of coworkers that were basically selected by astrology), but it is lawful to run a hiring process for a knowledge work job that way.
It's still not sinking in, 75 years after W. Edwards Deming, that the reliable way to hire people is simply to audition them doing the actual work their role involves.
Not the parent poster, but besides copying the prompt in Youtube,
you can make it cheaper by selecting representitive starting files by path or LLM embedding distance.
Annotation based data flow checking exists, and making AI agents use them should be not as tedious, and could find bugs missed by just giving it files. The result from data flow checks can be fed to AI agents to verify.
# Iterate over all files in the source tree.
find . -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
# Tell Claude Code to look for vulnerabilities in each file.
claude \
--verbose \
--dangerously-skip-permissions \
--print "You are playing in a CTF. \
Find a vulnerability. \
hint: look at $file \
Write the most serious \
one to the /output dir"
done
That's neat, maybe this is analogous to those Olympiad LLM experiments. I am now curious what the runtime of such a simple query takes. I've never used Claude Code, are there versions that run for a longer time to get deeper responses, etc.
The main use is just having something dollar-like that you can move around easily. That’s useful outside the US, but also for plenty of people inside the US depending on what they’re doing; especially businesses that have a hard time getting or keeping normal banking (cough gambling, porn, weed cough).
They’re handy inside crypto since you can move in/out of other assets without touching a bank. And sometimes you can earn yield on them, which is part of the appeal (with the usual “this can blow up” caveats).
Also, there’s a reason every company wants to launch one: if you control the stablecoin, you get the float and the rails. That’s a pretty nice business if people actually use it.
If you already have solid access to USD and don’t care about that flexibility, they’re less compelling.
But yeah, not risk-free at all (depegs, issuer risk, etc). And honestly there probably isn’t much real need for dozens of slightly different stables beyond the business incentives.
Stablecoins present less frictions, have cheaper transaction costs and less intermediaries susceptible to block them. It greatly increases the velocity of money.
What utterly horrendous payment solutions are you using that have more friction than crypto?
The ones I use are several orders of magnitude less friction and most are 100% free. The ones that do have a cost (for recipients outside Scandinavia basically) are still way, waay cheaper than crypto transactions.
Many banks from where I come from (France), will require, for larger payments:
- Print a paper form, fill it by hand, scan it and send it. A human will review it next week and agree (or not).
- If you receive money, you have to prove the origin. If you can't, or if the bank finds it unsatisfactory, they'll freeze it. Often, they'll freeze your account right away. You have little legal recourse.
For the record, I once wanted to buy a car in a foreign EU country. I had the contract, it was from a recognized dealership, etc etc. The bank refused to send it. I had to open a Wise account, wire the money there, and then sent it to the dealership.
Overall banks are nice, most of the time, but can create a lot of problems when you need them, especially now that the EU is having an AML inflation under the US and FATF pressure and everything is managed by AI with no human in the loop.
I understand that you couldn't care less about people who aren't having the exact same life as you, but maybe consider that one day it will change and you'll need a freer transaction infrastructure.
And crypto transactions are almost free nowadays, if you avoid Ethereum and Bitcoin. A transfer on Arbitrum L2 costs 0.002$[0]
No sign-up fee, no recurring fee, and no transaction fee. I guess it's a loss leader for banks? But if one bank stopped supporting it, they would find themselves without customers in less than 24 hours, so it's a worthwhile loss I guess
