>>pumping 3-lb weights while walking briskly generated 2.5-3X the workload of walking without the weights, and at certain levels, Heavyhands Walking approaches the cardiovascular workload of jogging.

This the full sentence. The cardiovascular workload of jogging is for sub 2 kg weights.

So it depends on the weights and pump levels your are using. 1 - 2 kg weights definitely has cardiovascular workloads of jogging. The >2 kg weights are a different deal altogether. In my experience running doesn't hold a candle to what happens from 3 kg onwards. In a 2 hour walk, you are lifting tons of weights as your are walking(with extra kgs of weight on your body), for like 2 hours straight.

It might even be unfair to compare it with running because this is really a very different exercise altogether. Only thing that I found somewhat comparable is swimming.

As a general rule never exercise with just two limbs alone. Its a poor return on investment for the time spent. This literally follows from logic.
I wouldn't say they're depressing unless you compare them to high-end US salaries and those become your expectation.

The salaries may be no higher than for lots of other professionals, but those other professionals also make comfortable buck. Not enough to get into the actually rich category, but upper middle class is also pretty comfortable financially.

The money isn't enough (for most) to escape the treadmill or to otherwise escape reality, so it can be depressing if your life is otherwise depressing or if you compare it to something really lucrative. But IMO the pay level by itself isn't bad.

At least that's my impression of the current market living and working in a locally major city but definitely outside of those major hubs.
I suppose the question is if we accept that Putin is dying and truly believes that killing everyone and himself in nuclear holocaust is better than hospice care in some expensive private hospital. Given he has spent lots of money he stole constructing a lavish private palace for himself, he evidently, at one point, had a plan to retire in luxury, which tells us he isn't some unthinking, unfeeling terminator.

I think he won't, but I cannot say for sure.

Because query parsing time is totally insignificant compared to query IO?

I mean, I get it but the chances that it makes a noticeable difference are zero in almost every case. Also you'd have to change a lot of the existing tooling, at which point you might as well send a compiled agent or use stored procs?

Most GUI apps don't need what Qt provides though. They mostly need stability and cross-platform support, so ... they should start with something like Tauri or Sciter, and if there is something they need natively they will be in a much better situation to pick their poison.

It's a bit ironic that I find the "many friends" approach to cheapen the deeper connections I have with only a handful of people.

In the end, I think these are different kinds of socialization, and these all work when both parties are on the same page.

To me, problems seem to mainly come from people on average decreasing their understanding of other systems of value.
All of society, the businesses that sit atop them, the business rules, the targets the deadlines, the unreal expectations, etc.--at their base, they exist because people. If you dig far enough there's someone causing issues. The same can be said about positive effects too though. So yea, it's always people, unless you're doing it as a hobby and are in control.
Can you provide an example, just so we can be on the same page? You do an XmlHttpRequest or fetch() to a static asset and it's a non-trivial request to CDN, I just wonder how it looks like and why it exists in the first place.

I believe most sql engines cache the query plans for parameterized queries, which would cover the majority of requests.

Caching the query plan is also going to go further in performance optimisations than just “precompiling” the SQL to a AST.
Nice work!

However, a cautionary tale on AI medical image "denoising":

(and beyond, in science)

- See the artifacts?

The algorithm plugs into ambiguous areas of the image stuff it has seen before / it was trained with.
So, if such a system was to "denoise" (or compress, which - if you think about it - is basically the same operation) CT scans, X-rays, MRIs, etc., in ambiguous areas it could plug-in diseased tissue where the ground-truth was actually healthy.

Or the opposite, which is even worse: substitute diseased areas of the scan with healthy looking imagery it had been trained on.

Reading recent publications that try to do "denoising" or resolution "enhancement" in medical imaging contexts, the authors seem to be completely oblivious to this pitfall.

(maybe they had a background as World Bank / IMF economists?)
No. I mean that there is a great deal C++ can capture and present in a library that cannot be expressed in Rust. Much of this will never be in Rust because of this or that early choice of direction.

At the most basic level, in Rust you cannot overload operators. You have no opportunity at all to code a move constructor. I could list off others all day long, but you probably would not understand most.

Then there are the things the borrow checker will not let you do, that would be correct, but it can't see that. You might say you can put those in "unsafe", but you can't really field a library where users sometimes must put a call in unsafe.

It is easy to insist you have never needed any of that stuff for your library, but that is really because you have constrained what you even think of trying to do by what you know you can do. We box ourselves in this way automatically, and it takes great effort to break out of such a mental box.
according to that article, the train and station already had surveillance cameras. the current post and comment thread are about surveillance microphones; how would that help with the investigation in your article, where we can reasonably assume that the robbers were shouting things like "open your bag" and "give me your wallet", and interview witnesses to confirm our assumption?
I actually bought the collabora vanilla Libre Office App on the Appstore that is mentioned in the article for 10€ because at some point the Mac HiDPI support was horrible on the stable community edition and I would rather pay 10€ than to figure out how to make thing work... Call me sheep I'm fine with it.

I guess the official release is meant to appeal to such use case and profit from direct monetary contribution to the project. I hope collabora played it fair an square and contributed to upstream, but an official release is a good way to ensure no middle party can cash in for a minimal packaging effort.
Investments have less to do - at this time - with a recession or a looming recession so much as the impact of federal monetary policy.

"Don't Fight The Fed"

If the fed is trying to actively cool down the economy by raising the interbank lending rate, this increases the price of capital for all companies. This also incentivizes people to not invest in companies - if they can get a "Risk Free" return from treasury bills of 4.5% today why would they invest with a 100% risk asset.

So no, forget 'recession' instead change your question to 'whats the best investing strategy to have during a period of monetary tightening' - and that is, in general, to not be investing until you think the period is over. Good luck with that one.
>the way modern code is supposed to be written

Many experts disagree with the way modern C++ evolves.

To say that modern code is supposed to use all the C++11-forward features or else it's obsolete is a massive bias on your part.
You kind of blew my mind with this simple concept. Going to see if I can incorporate it in my #kitbag
Okay, but a camera doing this is unlikely to dream up plausible features that didn't actually exist in the scene.
I've been learning SQL recently with PostgreSQL and MySQL in an online bootcamp here in Spain. So far very comprehensive. We've touched indexing and partitioning with EXPLAIN ANALYZE for optimizing performance, and I've implemented this strategies successfully onto an active forum I own.

The SQL course has almost no love by the students but so far it has been the most useful and interesting to me.

I was able to create some complex views (couldn't understand how to make materialized views in MySQL), but they were still very slow.

I decided to copy most of this forum DB to DuckDB (with Knime now, until I know better), and optimization with DuckDB seems pointless. It's very, very fast. Less energy usage for my brain, and less time waiting. That's a win for me.

My current dataset is about 40GB, so It's not HUGE, and sure people here in HN would laugh at my "complex" views, but so far I've reduced all my concerns from optimizing to how to download the data I need without causing problems to the server.
Our sight is light detection compressed into human thought

Written language is human thought compressed into words

Digital images are light detection compressed into bits

Text to images AI compress digital images into written language

Then how do the AI weights relate to human thought?
There's very little overlap between HN commenters lamenting about colors of async functions, and actual Rust programmers writing async software.

Rust's crates.io has over 15000 packages using async. Cloudflare has just replaced their nginx with a Rust proxy that uses Rust's async. Apple has hired Rust programmers for their storage and networking teams.

Rust has been out for 7 years now, and detractors on HN still treat it as an unproven novelty that's going to collapse any day now.

Well the employee's relationship with the whole org tree is pinned to the manager. That's kind of the point.
An inflationary bear market with federal monetary policy tightening and you suggest bonds? Really?

Unless they are IBonds - what rationale do you have for this and what would have been the return on invested capital if you did this anytime in the last ~6-8 months.
> First of all I don't think Niemann has much of a team yet.

Maybe he does, or maybe Carlsen thinks he does.

> the prep leak idea makes no sense.

The "malicious person on Carlsen's team" hypothesis I was putting forward didn't involve them leaking the prep to Niemann. I merely supposed that someone in such a position could negatively influence Carlsen's performance, and profit from it through betting.
SQLite was released in the year 2000; it is 22 years old.

Because of its age, it does carry deprecated API components that are maintained solely for backward compatibility.

Notice how many _v2 and _v3 variants are present, denoting reworked aspects of the API:

https://sqlite.org/c3ref/funclist.html

A product of this age was designed (and redesigned) for specific needs. Unfortunately, your use case is not among them.
Having application build a string and pass it to a library which parses the string into an AST cannot be as efficient as just building the AST, right?
Odd how God's will always turns out to be human greed or human lust for power in the end. I think the original thesis stands.
When I read these kinds of sentiments about OSS I always think of Windows desktops and Internet Explorer in places where they absolutely don't belong. Yes, it is bad to have an enormously deep and complex stack with a big fat attack surface, almost none of which is relevant to the application. That badness isn't mitigated by the stack being commercial and coming from a single vendor.

On the other hand - if it's always the people, that means that the people are the biggest (only?) thing OP is struggling with. And that even the smallest remaining problem still fills the remaining mental space, suddenly becoming the biggest problem in the room, no matter its size.

For me personally, that's how my brain works. Sometimes I need to realign and discover that just because all the "9/10" (in terms of difficulty) problems and 7/10 problems have been solved, the 2/10 problem isn't that bad, just because it's now the worst problem at hand.
Yeah, if it were actually adopted as a way to do compression, it seems likely to lead to even worse problems than JBIG2 did https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6156238

Invisibly changing the content rather than the image quality seems like a really concerning failure mode for image compression!

I wonder if it'd be possible to use SD as part of a lossless system - use SD as something that tells us the liklihood of various pixel values given the rest of the image and combine that liklihood with a huffman encoding. Either way, fantastic hack, but we really should avoid using anything lossy built on AI for image compression.
I still don't have backups, any hint on proven method? I admit being lazy, but not so far couldn't imagine how to make consistent backup across the cluster, something similar to --single-transaction in mysql..
Saying certain prices are obscene is just an ill-defined price ceiling i.e. a form of price control.
HR always say "People don't leave jobs; they leave managers." That is, in my opinion, a cop out.

I've worked for brilliant managers in great teams - and left because the business wasn't able to support my growth. Or because the company was ethically dodgy. Or because they just couldn't pay enough.

And, yeah, sometimes I've left because of a bad boss or grim team members - but that's been a rarity.

But, at the end of the day, a job isn't your life. You don't need to find meaning there - you don't even have to like your co-workers - as long as you have a life outside of work.
Perhaps you’re not a team player?

(This is aimed at programmers)

Being a programmer is hard in that respect. There are many professions and positions where the individual has much more autonomy over their part. A typical setup in a small company may have a team of programmers and many other positions which are a team of one; graphic design, legal, HR, business dev, etc etc. Sure, all of these can grow into teams at some point but most jobs in programming mean being part of a team, which means being able to compromise (sometimes even when it’s BS) and gain the favor of your peers.

Team programmers are not sought out based on their sense of artistry, by that point the job is basically a grind.
Building LLVM in 90 seconds using Amazon Lambda (for $0.40) (2021)
This makes more sense to me than trying to bring memory safety to C++. C is mostly frozen, do that with C++ and deprecate both. 50 years from now they will still be around but compatibility will be good due to the freeze. Everything new will be much safer and maintainable.

This is a very long term strategy but it makes sense viewed that way.
> There is simply nothing there online.

This isn't true. There is lots of fascinating stuff out there (including this article, which is well-written and enjoyable).

The problem is that it's hard to find, because it's covered over with a layer of SEO-optimised crap churned out by an entire industry of professionals who spend all day, every day, trying to smother anything good or interesting online with their bland, outsourced, uninteresting, joyless, "content". I don't think that's what they actually want to achieve, but that's the net effect, and they know it, so it might as well be.
"several grocery stores across the state report unprepared customers are flouting basic shopping rules and common decency by stealing handheld baskets."

Is there no security at all in US shops? Isn't there a "bagger" usually? Nobody sees people putting stuff back in the shopping basket instead of plastic bags?

I couldn't leave with a shopping basket from a store even if I tried in Italy, but also since the plastic bag ban most of the people I see bring their own reusable cloth bag so it's not even an issue.

I don't see any evidence that Russia is broadly retreating. Evidently they have retreated where Ukraine had a strong offensive but it would be a remarkable coincidence if that was the bit that they were planning on nuking. And only that bit.

And if they were planning on using nuclear weapons, why would they nuke the parts that they control? Surely it would make more sense to attack Kyiv and other centres of command and control.

Maybe they will use nuclear or other mass destruction weapons but nothing that they have done (as against said) so far is consistent with that. Everything has been consistent with permanently annexing highly productive parts of Ukraine.
For text compression benchmarks it's done
http://mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html

Matt doesn't do this on the Silesia corpus compression benchmark, even though it would make sense there as well:
http://mattmahoney.net/dc/silesia.html

So a compressor of a few gigabyte would make sense if you would have a set of pictures of more then a few gigabyte. It's a bit similar to preprocessing text compression with a dictionary and adding the dictionary to the extractor to squeeze a bit more bytes.
Understanding the Intel Optane Shutdown
I have an Irish surname despite having never been to the island in my life. What would you call it if I was leading a division of the Irish army to try and retake Derry?
Yes and no. It's the system in which people act (which, in turn, is created by people). For example, I once left a company where people were discussing endlessly, passionately and often by yelling at one another. On the surface, I left the company because of the people, but in reality, it was the fact that there was no clarity about who is able to take which decision and the fact that the CEO, who wanted to be treated as an equal, still was able to overrule every decision, that created this toxic environment in the first place.

Many of the people in that company would probably be fun to work with in a different environment.
> There are so many people who think they have social difficulties or are not friendly people because they don’t talk to people at all.

>

> It seems almost too simple or stupid to most intelligent people to consider that maybe the root of all their struggles can be solved by simply talking to more people.

In the case of someone with social anxiety (which is of course not everyone who struggles with relationships), this is basically like telling someone with depression that they should just try being happy instead.
I think my experience playing esports (only at a semi-pro/amateur level however), including LAN play somewhat guides my perspective. Cheating is much more common in esports because of the nature of the game. However there are a lot of reformed cheaters that went on to become either amazing players or great people in the scene even if they didn't return to or find success in playing.

Great examples from CS:GO include s1mple, went on to become undisputed GOAT. Steel and the iBuypower crew (not cheating but matchfixing) that eventually became casters/analysts and upstanding members of the community.

In both of these cases the lapses of judgement occurred when the players were young. s1mple got a second chance, iBuypower didn't. I think they should have been offered that same chance as they showed over the years their character wasn't black, they had just made a grave mistake. A more fitting punishment would have been a length limited ban of a year or so, instead they were handed down lifetime bans from official events which I think was too harsh for essentially a bunch of teenagers.
