Your comment was dead for some reason. I’ve vouched for it.

I believe that games that are purely competition of reflexes are inherently unfair. Bots are merely exposing this unfairness because they can reliably beat all kind of animals, but it exists in humans as well.

But here’s the thing - I don’t understand cheating in this kind of games (besides people being willingly toxic). It’s no fun at all, you just win and that’s it. There is zero competition. So, yea, you’re right it doesn’t make sense to give bot copilots in such games. Their time will come to an end when humans will learn to enhance their reflexes, until they they’ll be probably the last kind of games to keep the “no bots” flame alive.

Please notice a difference between toxic people who want to trump everyone, and normal people who want to improve their lives by using technology because they have skills for that (money is a tricky thing - I need to think about it more). Today they’re all pushed into the same ostracized group, called “cheaters”.

> Let’s rewrite the whole activity of gaming

Yes - why not rewrite? Humanity had rewritten various principles quite a number of times, and continues to do so. The time for games will come soon (not exactly yet, but it’s rapidly approaching and we can see the first signs).

A bot is just a machine (we don’t have GAI and it’s still an unanswered question if we will anytime soon). If the game is truly complex in a good way (LoL surely is not too bad in this regard) - it won’t auto-win it for a human, it will merely remove the routine and grind, exposing the true mechanics, exposing the ultimate meta.
Hi, Nice idea, I really like it but it's not responsive. Do you have plans in the future to give the possibility of working on it from mobile too?
This happened to me too.

They called.

They ask me for my personal info to verify me.

I said I was uncomfortable, could they verify who they are.

They said they can’t for security reasons for MY account.

I refused to give out info. They hung up.

Turns out, it WAS the bank. In 2023, I’d assume this should be figured out. Especially, since they send out like a 100 emails about “your bank will never call you and ask for your personal info”.

The FitBit vo2max estimate is fairly crude, at least for my model.

It requires a ten minute run on level ground at a certain heart rate to "calibrate" but tries to estimate it from other exercise too.

It leads to the number fluctuating quite a bit between runs and other exercises.

I'd argue that how you feel during a run or hard cardio training is a better metric. You can fairly easily judge progress week to week, completely subjectively.
I dislike this black n white rhetoric from both sides. "Just do some workout" - "no this doesn't work for me". Yes, workout does help, but mental illness is still real. Both sides should try to be more sensitive and more understanding in my opinion.

I can't fix my social anxiety through workout. But I sure can feel better about myself when doing it and then approach those anxieties with more confidence, but the anxieties are still there.

The one thing Olive Garden has that Red Lobster lacks IMO is great service. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've never once had anything less than awesome service there. I don't go often, and yes it's not fine dining but it's a place to go to enjoy mediocre to good tasting food and be frustration free. I'll take that every single time over a place with better food but unreliable or frustrating service.

Red Lobster well... I've only been twice. Two different locations. The first time service was really, really slow. The second time it was non-existent. After about 15 mins of waiting, we grabbed another waitress who dismissively told us that our waitress just quit and hurried off like it was our problem to figure out. I don't remember the food at all, but even if it was stellar I'd not go back.

I always tried to think of it as they were interviewing for some other place they really wanted, but that place was taking a really long time to get back to them so they took something else before things got too dire financially. Then the other job finally reached out, so they said c'ya! I really have no idea the actual thought process though.
Great share! That meta-analysis was a good read.

I'd disagree slightly with your characterization of the author's findings on over-exercising; quoting from the discussion section:

"Our findings do not provide evidence for increased mortality risk with physical activity amounts as high as seven times above the current recommended target range. All cause, CVD and CHD mortality risks were lower at physical activity levels up to approximately 5–7 times the recommended level but the additional reduction in risk of mortality with engagement in activity at levels beyond the recommendations was modest and with increasing uncertainty, as reflected by the wide confidence intervals. Thus based on all of the available studies, we did not identify a higher mortality risk at any level of physical activity above the recommended level, although the lowest point estimate for all cause mortality was approximately 2000 MET min. Our analyses suggest that 10–12 hours of weekly vigorous physical activity cannot be considered harmful to longevity."

My reading is that the authors did not draw any conclusions about increased risks at higher MET levels due to the broad confidence intervals caused by the cancer risk data.

That is it, right there.

> It's also a myth, perpetuated by highly trained athletes that you cannot gain muscle and do cardio, or that you cannot do these things while in a caloric deficit.

I think it's more accurate to describe this in terms of definitions: "gains muscle while in caloric deficit" is possible for the untrained/beginners.

> For the first 2 months, cardio was not part of it.

It's really easy for bad diet decisions to counteract the effects of even a significant amount of cardio; and it's easy to fatigue the body by trying to do too much cardio.

For aiming for calorie deficit, I think it makes sense "do what's least awful out of: reduce calories in food, or add cardio".

My impression as a beginner was that free weights were scary and that there were many exercises you'd have to choose from. (Whereas machines seemed idiot proof). In practice, "squat, deadlift, benchpress" would be a good start. (Or a starting point to read about, anyway).

It's a pretty clever idea for the scammers to exploit the in-app notification to fool the end-user. I wouldn't blame them for being scammed in this manner. However, the post then goes on to say:

> Then he asked me to confirm the last 12 digits of my card number, cvv and expiry date.

That to me is a big red flag, and I hope that I would have spotted it if I was the one being scammed. If it was really someone from the bank, they would already have access to this information and wouldn't need an end-user to give it to them.

Although in this case, it may have been too late by that time to limit the damage. They may have been asking for this info as just the cherry on top. I'm assuming that responding to the in-app notification was probably the main thing they needed to extract the savings.

It's not that hard a leap is it? For some reason it seems oblivious to non-sufferers that the idea of a physical treatment for a mental ailment is a given?

For most folks, that connection doesn't exist. Hell, I work out 3x a week and even I don't notice the obvious side-effects even though I'm certain they exist.

When we're dealing with ordinary people living their daily lives, the idea that something so "non-mental" - in the most literal sense "physical" can have an effect on the mental, is a really tough thing to swallow, understand and hell, even percept when things are going well?

Strava is not enough. You should make a tiktok livestream while exercising. Otherwise it's not a real workout
Well I think you have that backwards, most people concern themselves with the former because they are the easiest to address. It's very easy to just eat less and buy healthier food. Getting your running shoes on and going for a run when you're out of shape and overweight is extremely hard for most people in that category.

Are you implying that deaf people only give birth to deaf children?
There is no "vogue" about it. Those functions test for different equalities. It's not the case that any of them are new versions of the others.

(eq x y) tests whether x and y are the same object. It is very fast because typically all it has to do is do a machine word comparison, and that comparison is conclusive. (When it is false, there is no more work to do to rule out sameness.)

If x and y are the same number, of the same type, it is not required to report true. Even if they are the the same number that you might think fits into a machine word, though on most implementations that situation will be eq. ANSI Lisp allows for implementations in which small, identical integer values like 7 are not necessarily eq. A Lisp implementation in which all numbers are "boxed" quantities on the heap could be conforming to ANSI.

The eql function is like eq, but the same characters and same numbers of the same type are required to be equal under eql. For all other objects it is like eq. eql might be implemented in terms of doing an eq comparison, and then when that is false, doing more work to rule out sameness of numbers and characters.

Common Lisp's hash tables can use different equalities; that is where it can make a bigger difference. Objects in an eq hash table can use a very simple, fast hashing function. Whereas objects in an eql hash table have to be hashed in such a way that equal integer or floating-point values have the same hash. A value that is a pointer to a boxed bignum integer has to be dereferenced to access some of the value bits of that object.

There are some exotic functions in Lisp that you might never end up using, particularly in the list processing area like pairlis or revappend and whatnot.
Typo, didn't realize I wrote "RTOS" out of habit instead of "OS".

Regardless, I wouldn't consider those product level features and I also wouldn't consider them strictly limited to RTOSes either. A normal operating system is going to be significantly better for performance on good hardware, which is why all of the top supercomputers are running a variant of Linux. An RTOS may give you lower latency, but it's really specialized to realtime as I'm certain you're aware.

You choose an RTOS because you either have those realtime constraints, you want a "smaller" system, or you're running hardware that can't support a full-fat operating system (e.g. ESP32) and the RTOS offerings are what's most convenient. I don't think any of those apply to the Rabbit device in a realistic way. Implementing it in an RTOS wouldn't speed up the server-side inference that's doing the actual work here, for example. Since there aren't reasons to go with an RTOS, your criteria for OS selection are going to lean towards the meaningful benefits a normal OS like Android offers, both in terms of development tooling and board support.
If this were an app, my guess is that this will never pass Google’s test with all the data passed to their servers, with all the privacy requirements.

Well, I don't doubt that cardio fitness decreases the chance for morbidity and mortality, but in this study they only established correlation.

I think that in science we have to be extra careful just what we are saying. And saying that this study proves causality would be wrong. I am sure there are other studies that could (do?) prove it but this statistical analysis can only prove correlation.

Show HN: A landing page starter with batteries included
Hi friends,

I built a landing page starter template in NextJS and Tailwind that includes internationalization, a blog, contact form, SEO optimizations, ready to use UI components, and more.

I am planning to continue working on it to include more useful building blocks, like page layouts, hero sections, and more.

I had the idea while working on a mobile app and I realised that there will be easily several days of work ahead of me just to build a landing page. I wanted to have a landing page template where I just have to change some colors, images, copy text, and it should have SEO features included. Internationalization is a big one for me too, because I believe that having multiple languages will benefit me in finding new users.

Please, leave any feedback about my landing page. Happy to continue working on it!

I think it's partly because as it also works as prevention of those same mental illnesses, many patients will have a higher than average barrier to clear to exercise (including just getting out of the house for a walk).

I've had friends able to start exercising a few months in their treatments, when the medication gave them more mental leeway. Before that they were fighting to wake up and properly eat, and do anything really.

Thanks for sharing! I've looked into usearch before, it's really sleek, especially all their language bindings. Though I want sqlite-vec to have total control over what stays in-memory vs on-disk during searches, and most vector search libraries like usearch/hnswlib/faiss/annoy either always store in-memory or don't offer hooks for other storage systems.

Additionally, sqlite-vec takes advantage of some SQLite specific APIs, like BLOB I/O [0], which I hope would speed things up a ton. It's a ton more work, coming up with new storage solutions that are backed by SQLite shadow tables, but I think it'll be work it!

And I also like how sqlite-vec is just a single sqlite-vec.c file. It makes linking + cross-compiling super easy, and since I got burned relying on heavy C++ dependencies with sqlite-vss, a no-dependency rule feels good. Mostly inspired by SQLite single-file sqlite3.c amalgamation, and Josh Baker's single file C projects like tg[1].

I think the word 'insane' is going to far to describe the behaviour of the specified function.

It returns an array of bytes. If you, the programmer, wrote a line that called that function, on the very next line you are going to try to use the array, realise that you don't know the length, and realise that the `NULL` that passed in on the line above is probably the output for the length!

In order to actually write a call with `NULL` for the dataSize argument, the programmer needs to be clueless about how to write a for loop.

So, no, I can't easily see a situation where a programmer accidentally uses a `dataSize` parameter of `NULL`, because that would mean they don't know that arrays in C have no length information, which is C 101.
The Broken Source Code for MS-DOS 4.0 Has Been Restored
Right. I think that statement is based on Supplement eTable 5, where they analyzed numbers up to 6,000 MET-minutes/week.

Using confidence intervals in this case is a bit misleading though. What would be most useful IMO would be the prediction interval for the lowest point estimate, as that could be used to determine if individual activity amounts are appropriate.
