Show HN: MuscleWiki Workout Generator – Generate unique workouts
Hey Everyone,

Today marks a big day for the team at MuscleWiki.

We launched the workout generator, using our huge custom dataset of exercises, videos and text, we optimized so users are able to generate millions of unique workout combinations. These aren't just dumb workouts either, anyone with a lick of python can generate millions of workouts. The hard thing to do is generate the 1 workout that you want. The team painstakingly programmed and mapped science based set recommendations and fatigue into those results based on user selection.

There are still a few bugs we are working out, but this took months of work from the whole team. Check it out, use it, share it!

Our coach Ty will be in the comments to answer any questions on how we set things up.

It's actually more complicated. With HTTP you don't know requests can be coalesced until you receive the response headers with the Cache-Control and Vary. So if your website takes a few seconds to respond most CDNs will send every single request in that period through.

In theory a CDN could optimistically coalesce requests then re-send them when the headers of the first one return. But this is very complex and rarely done in practice.

This can also occur on any time the cache gets stale and needs to be refetched.

Generalist software engineer with a broad range of experience including frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure development. Past roles include full stack engineering at a YC-backed startup and VP of Engineering at a quantitative hedge fund.

What sets me apart? I have entrepreneurship experience that gives me an understanding of the end-to-end product development process at early stage startups. I am skilled at taking initiative on projects and turning vaguely defined requirements into concrete solutions. I am passionate about functional programming, engineering reliable and scalable software systems, and building engineering teams that consistently deliver quality results. I also speak 3 languages fluently (English, Sinhala, and Mandarin Chinese).
"We continued our investigation into the physical disruption inside our buildings on April 16, looking at additional details provided by coworkers who were physically disrupted,"

So that is what Google, one party to the conflict, claims. Not something independent sources have verified. I'm pretty sure the protestors deny that anyone was "physically disrupted". Edit: You have updated your comments. My point is that it is unfair to default to believing Google and disbelieving the protestors.
> What really disturbs me about recent Tesla communication is that the Semi is just not being mentioned.

There's a pretty compelling argument out there that an electric semi is currently not economically viable because the weight of the battery cuts into the weight the semi can haul without exceeding the gross vehicle weight limit on public roads. In this regard, it may be telling that Tesla's first customer was a company that sells potato chips - one of the lightest weight per volume products you can transport.

Didn't they just layoff a number of people? Surely there are some good, local talent that were once good enough for Google. Why ask to import more when you're laying off people?
On the other hand, you can put very, very beefy satellites into GEO and cover roughly a third of the planet using them.

If you don't care as much about latency (and many applications don't, e.g. asset tracking, news broadcasting or forwarding etc.), GEO is still very viable.
Should be pretty easy. Capture a WIM of a Windows EFI partition, then use wimlib-imagex to apply that and also the install.wim.

I'm not sure if the Windows boot process requires the UEFI boot entry to be present or if they drop their efi file in the standard location... but if not, you should just be able to copy it there.

With over 8 years of experience as a Software Engineer, I've expertise in backend development, clean code principles, and the writting of robust test suites. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated ease for quickly learning of new languages and technologies, enhancing code coverage, and improvement of deployment pipelines. I've led technical initiatives that significantly reduced integration times and boosted production deployments. Among my experiences I worked with a lot of technologies, including Java, C# and Javascript, in cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. I like to contribute in dynamic environments, collaboration and knowledge-sharing while delivering impactful solutions aligned with business objectives.
At this point I've considered building a mostly finished kit car. These privacy violations should absolutely be illegal. I shouldn't have to deal with GM selling my driving data to my insurance provider. I can't just buy a different car either as they ALL do it now.

Also, a car should not be like setting up an iPad. Dedicated buttons are superior and safer, but it won't happen again at this point outside of an act of Congress as the manufacturers found out it's cheaper to make just a single touchscreen.
There has to be more going on somewhere in the system. You can ask GPT4 to describe something (Vermont) and ask it to end to description with a chosen word (house). It will then usually be able to write out a descriptive paragraph that ultimately lands on your chosen word pretty seamlessly - "...embodying a serene and rural charm that culminates in the warm, welcoming feel of a cozy house."

Models do struggle with these tests, for sure, but from an analytical standpoint, a "next token predictor" should not be able to ever correctly land on the right token 100 tokens in the future.

Edit: Thinking about it, I suppose it is possible that the model can encode a "destination" in the first token. Like a pool shot that is artfully bounced off many bumpers to hit a ball, perhaps the LLM can encode a "path" to a destination token in the first token generated. Which might be even crazier as it suggests that the model is playing a meta-game with being able to precisely manipulate the individual layers of output, even though those layers are disparate from token to token.
>To which they accused me of outlandishness.

The response to this is to do the math for them. Let's make modest assumptions. Crappy headways of 8 trains per hour (7.5 min), 800 people passing through per train, 1% of passengers getting on/off at that stop, simple 2 track system (trains in both directions). Multiplying it all out that comes out to 128 people per hour via the train line. If we generously assume that customers who arrive and park via car only stick around for an average of 20 min, each parking space is delivering 3 people per hour. Therefore ripping out up to 42 parking spots to put in a train line instead is worth it (and that's with assumptions generous to the car). 42 parking spaces is like what, one row of a parking lot?

For less analytical people, the simple visual version of the argument is this picture:

Apple | Cupertino, California or London, UK | Full-time | Hybrid work (3 days in office) | Rust + Distributed Systems

We are a small international team, with team members in Cupertino, CA, and London, UK. We are looking for senior software engineers to join our team. The role involves a large amount of individual responsibility and influence over the direction of a core service.

We believe in small agile teams and their ability to deliver high-quality,
high-impact software. We share code ownership and knowledge through the Agile
technique of pair-programming. Our codebase is written entirely in modern Rust
using the latest technologies and coding practices.

The core work includes:

* Designing, implementing, and supporting highly scalable applications and web services
* Working in Rust (e.g., asynchronous (async/await), sharing models (Sync/Send), etc.)
* Concurrent programming (e.g., locking, memory synchronization, atomic operations, etc.)
* Distributed system concepts (e.g., distributed consensus, replication, failure detection, etc.)

This role requires working with pair programming (remote and if possible in-person) and may require occasional international travel/transatlantic travel.

You can reach us by emailing your resume to `a_rust_team \at group.apple.com`
> That's not a type.

Nobody said it was. Reaching already? As before, enums are not a type, they are a numbering mechanism. Literally. There is an associated type in which to hold the numbers, but that's not the enum itself. This is true in both C and Go, along with every other language with enums under the sun.

> The compiler can tell the difference between `enum daysOfWeek` and `enum monthsOfYear`.

Sure, just as in Go:

type Day int
const (
Monday Day = iota
Tuesday
// ...
)

type Month int
const (
January Month = iota
February
// ...
)

func month(m Month) {}
func main() {
month(January) // OK
month(Monday) // Compiler error
}

> Go doesn't store this difference - `Monday` is no different in type than `January`.

Are you, perhaps, mixing up Go with Javascript?

> How can it?

By, uh, using its type system...? A novel concept, I know.
I see what you mean, but I also kinda disagree.

While people have come to rely on centralised services' link preview generators as some kind of trustworthy source, this shouldn't be taken for granted, and Mastodon users definitely should not give that level of trust.

Even on centralised platforms, I've seen endless "screenshots" on Twitter of other web pages and other tweets, aping the form of screenshot-quotations, but actually doctored. The original page or tweet never said what the screenshot claims they did. And I've also seen just the text of tweets claiming that some person said X, when that person did not say X. There can be millions of people affected by this misrepresentation, because they use Twitter-only sources for their information, and don't verify what they see. Then there's the same problem one level up, the screenshot might be a valid screenshot of absolute poppycock published by a partisan news source.

This is why I phrased my original statement the way I did... if you trust the original poster and original server. It's quite possible you shouldn't. Trust should be anchored to the individual toot and its poster, and you should distrust them for misrepresenting link previews in the same way you should distrust them for any other misrepresentations they make.

Ultimately, you should not trust website preview links any more than you trust the person posting them. You should click through (if you even trust opening the link) to see if the preview matches, and you should use existing tools (blocking, defederation) for posters or servers who abuse your trust.

(Edit: and let's also add in the trust that the website represents itself equally to both you and the link preview generator code... a large number of sites become much more responsive and ad-free automatically if you claim to be GoogleBot.. and let's not even mention sites doing A/B testing for virality under the same URL)

Why this is a difficult problem to resolve is that the Mastodon wants one thing - "trustworthy" per-server link previews, meaning tens of thousands of servers come thundering around the same time, and this will be millions of servers in future if they don't fix this - at the expense of others, the link targets. Meanwhile, those affected by the Mastodon community's selfish behaviour want them to clean up their act, at the cost of something the Mastodon community thinks is precious and fears losing (trusting link previews).

I think solutions need to come from behavioural change, which is to say giving link previews no more trust than the other text or images on a toot, and from that direction it would be much more palatable to have the poster supply the preview, because viewers wouldn't be giving it undue trust.

> Do you really want to argue electronic devices don't improve and cheapen dramatically over time?

No, I am arguing that people are not taking into account issues with the existing technologies and their capabilities, and instead thoughtlessly rolling out renewables onto the grid, putting people at real risk. You do understand what 'immediate catastrophic grid failure' means, right?

> Nuclear needs a grid too.

It's the same grid we already have! It was designed for baseload generation which is exactly what nuclear gives you! No costly grid upgrades required!

> when a GW+ of capacity suddenly drops off the grid and you have to be ready for that? That's a chronic problem of nuclear.

The 'sudden drop' is exactly what is avoided by nuclear's steady power generation.

> Renewable projects typically come in within 10% of projected cost

Until you factor in the massive upgrades that will be needed to the grid, the ecological toll of vast solar panel arrays and wind farms, the vast mining requirements for all the minerals needed for these devices, and the end-of-life (20 to 30 years) recycling and disposal costs. Then the picture is not so pretty!

> That places like France and Ontario achieved deep decarbonization in the now distant past matters little.

Yeah, facts don't matter and only unproven ideologically driven technologies matter.

> solar and wind (and storage) have improved so much.

Yes, they have improved so much that Texas is at risk of catastrophic grid collapse. Facts have an inconvenient way of intruding on fantasy!

> Look at what has happened with costs for new nuclear construction

What did happen with costs? UAE has successfully launched their NPP and is planning to build more. Not all costs are money sinks–these NPPs will generate clean power for decades, maybe even a century. They will produce minimal waste that will be safely sequestered and/or reused, and they will have very little ecological footprint. A nuclear power plant is one of the best investments you can make for the future.

> self deception will rapidly become impossible to sustain in the near future as renewables and storage continue their rampage to domination of the world energy system

Sure, in the future everything will be perfect and all of the problems that people have pointed out will magically go away. And I'm living in fantasy land ;-)

Intro: I am full-stack software engineer based out of Ohio and am open to remote or relocating. Recently, I created DataLoaf which is an open-source product analytics platform, providing a comprehensive data collection and ingestion pipeline. Check out more about it at https://data-loaf.com/.
When I searched, none of the electricity providers included nuclear energy in their list. I tried doing some research and found this definition for the European Environment Agency: "Electricity produced from resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro facilities is often referred to as 'green electricity'."
It's good to see as you point out that the situation is evolving. Strategic is better than nothing!
In what metrics is Tesla ahead on self driving? Waymo has been operating (actual self driving) in SF for years without major incidents, and has been doing revenue service for nearly a year now. Tesla has shown nothing even remotely close to the level of self driving as Waymo, even in a controlled environment.

For actual self driving, Tesla is going to need a fully revamped sensor package on the car, as well as major updates to their core software. Id be shocked if they are operating revenue service within even a few years
