the amount of alpha lying latent in archival issues of soft talk, wired, spy, the new yorker, etc is unparalleled and largely un-mined and while this might be sacrilegious to say in the age of monitoring the situation, i truly believe that the best way to understand the present is just read a bunch of longform from the 80s/90s and understand the past in a way that most people who lived through it can’t even conceptualize

@rorynotsorry But also respect your dedication to keeping costs low for those who can’t afford it - definitely a tough decision

@rorynotsorry As someone who just got an amazing deal on the 30mg tirz kit, i support you raising prices on kits. Glad I got a deal but would have paid more. Your website / testing transparency / communications are the best I’ve dealt with and worth a bit of a premium

I now understand why so many vendors sell single vials. Higher margin. Easier to keep in stock. I’m bad at business.

I love that I’ve been able to stock up on years’ worth of GLPs via RUO sources, but no one should be shocked by this. Why would semaglutide/tirzepatide be treated any differently than any other drug that’s under patent? You think if people were sourcing Jardiance or w/e via grey market there wouldn’t be the same crackdown? If the argument is that synthetically altered peptides are categorically different than other drugs such that they shouldn’t be patentable, that’s one thing, but under the current system they are, so 🤷

Take the GLP1s off the compounding list.
Go hard after domestic RUO peptide vendors.
Become more strict checking customs shipments and make examples to scare people.
Ensure big pharma keeps all of their profits.
Pharma pays what is equivalent to pennies to them back to those in government.
It’s all so obvious.

🚨 BREAKING: The FDA just proposed keeping semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide OFF the 503B compounding list, stating there is no “clinical need” to compound them even when patients cannot afford or access branded versions. This is a major shift because if these drugs are not on the shortage list and not on the bulks list, the legal pathway for large scale compounding begins to disappear, which directly threatens access for millions relying on compounded GLP-1s. $LLY $NVO $HIMS

@dorkweeb For one, the punctuation/grammar “mistakes” are too uniform to have been written by an actual human

There's a real epistemic divide between people who can clock common LLM-isms on sight, and people who never even consider that LLMs might be capable of writing in informal register

@sporadica Idk it feels like he once again made a mockery of prudent corporate governance in service of a Reddit-brained marketing stunt

trying to genuinely understand this bc this feels...impossible in his lifetime?
$7.5T is crazy, but okay, doable. but 1 MILLION people on Mars?? Yea I believe we will get there eventually, but Elon is 54yrs old
Either he thinks he's gonna live to 200 or we'll do this in ~30yrs?

SITUATION DETECTED: SpaceX has approved a new compensation package for Elon Musk ahead of its IPO. 200M super-voting shares if SpaceX hits a valuation of $7.5T and establishes a Mars colony of 1M people. He gets nothing if they miss targets.

@trohyhusband @jamesstout Hey, if you want to be a reply guy, maybe just say something subtly devastating instead of the braindead aggro replying, like someone who is actually trying to ruin a big account’s day and not some asshole blowing his top.

@jamesstout Hey, if you want to be a journalist, maybe just say what you fucking mean instead of the braindead vague posting, like someone who is actually trying to inform people and not some asshole farming engagement.

The peptide stack no one is talking about. Reta with AI. It’s the dream combo. For me running a low dose Reta I have zero compulsive behaviors. No need to watch TV, scroll political memes, foids dance on TikTok. Focused, unbothered. No late night snacking despite being up with late night research and vibe coding. Complete distraction domination. I sit as director and my agent follows accordingly. Flow state. Single streamlined train of thought with the goal of precision of a sniper. It’s metabolic Adderall. Hypothalamic hacking.

@Noahpinion What are steps govt can take now to help address this? If we assume that this is a real risk that can’t be mitigated short of nerfing AI, should US be spinning up vaccine manufacturing and development capabilities? Like a prophylactic Operation Warp Speed?

has your productivity significantly improved since implementing something you learned on my page? if yes, feel free to share in the comment section what had the greatest effect for you.

@rasmr_eth The amount of people saying “costed” instead of “cost” these days is truly depressing. When did this happen?

@Noahpinion People who had no socialization as teenagers and/or who are alienated from their physical reality due to Phone will act in ways that seem weird to prelapsarian uncs like you and me. This is just example 100000 of the Zoomer Uncanny Valley

I mean I hope he’s wrong about that, but I don’t think we should ignore the fact that a lot of vendors and purchasers are flying blind. Testing kinda helps a bit, but the manufacturing process is such a black box that I worry something will get through and (likely with the help of user error) someone will get severely injured

“People will die from poorly manufactured batches.”
More scare hyperbole from someone who wrote an otherwise great article.
It’s the small details that matter and shows who knows what they are talking about and who is just guessing.
