What's with people using the number "0" for their first reference? I have only ever seen that practice here at Hacker News.

Why is it "spend" and not "spending"?

In my line of work, its certain peoples' jobs to know certain things. If I need a piece of information that somebody else is responsible for understanding, I'm just going to ask directly for what I need instead of trying to research it myself. To research it myself would mean attempting to do somebody else's job, which is just unhelpful for everyone.

If its not just a matter of perspective and only medication can help, etc, then why do we call depression a "psychological" or "mental health" concern? Why isn't it just considered a neurological disease?

What about investors from other stock exchanges and locales? I don't understand why the phrase "Wall Street" is being included in this.

"xAI entirely bypassed the grid and generated power onsite, using truck-mounted gas turbines and engines."

So they solved the power problem by consuming more fossil fuel. Got it.

It sounds like the researchers failed to compare their semaglutide group to a calorie-controlled placebo group. The beneficial changes noted in the semaglutide group could very well be due to reduced calorie diet, rather than a specific effect of the drug itself.

This is why people end up skeptical of academic types and science publications.
