If I am playing a game with other humans and one of those humans doesn't feel like improving or cannot stand being beaten and decides to use technology that is not allowed to win at the expense of others. That's not a game people are going to want to play.

There is room for people that want to experiment with cheating and using technology in game to aid themselves and that's in a completely separate game that encourages that behavior.

If they genuinely want to become better, they need to apply concepts that allow them to improve which is training what you're not good at and accepting you won't always or ever be the best. Not using an aid that goes against the rules of the game and gives them an unfair advantage.

It's a similar principle I would apply from the world of sport and doping. Just because it might be partially a social problem, the solution isn't just to let it happen.
Yep, they're all just one div. Well, technically a div plus ::before and ::after pseudo-elements but still, it's all CSS
I remember reading somewhere that, to maximize your health, run as much as you can each week, you won't hit the upper bound when it gets bad.

In the example you cited, that's 36 hours (!) of runnning in a week: meaning I'd have to run 6 hours a day and only take Sunday off each week before I was officially running too much. And I've noticed I can't run more than 4 days a week anyway, so even that's off limits. 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, even under optimal conditions, wouldn't be something I'd approach even if I was retired.

So practically speaking, "run as much as you can before your body aches stops you" seems like a good rule of thumb.
Hang in there tech is just caught up in something way bigger. I'm also in the same position but trying to get a non tech job and code for fun
Is it that ridiculous? Big tech tracking shows that basically any inconvenience at all causes people to drop off. The page taking half a second longer to load and now you’ve lost a few sales.

There isn’t going to be anyone consciously thinking “I’m not gonna ride because I have to wear a helmet” but instead “eh I can’t be bothered riding” without digging too much in to why.
Topography in the navigation app will not be distorted for Amap or Baidu map. They looks correct.

Maybe people just don't know how important a navigation app is. With enough usage data, you can know the traffic status of any area. Amap and Baidu already use these data to provide the countdown of traffic light. It has 90% accuracy. You can also have a deep understanding of the economic status, or find out some hidden buildings.

So for an algorithm which is already reverse engineered many years ago, it cannot protect anything. It is just a policy to stop foreign companies to join this game.

As for the reason, "national security", "unacceptable risk".
Exactly; when I fast for 24 hours, I feel a compulsion to consume every single calorie within a 3 block radius afterwards.
clearly there is no "just" to it as a level of effort on the part of those who are overweight. It is not an easy road and something like 95% of the people fail at it, so I guess it depends on what your meaning of "just" is.
Author here — happy to answer any questions! This is more of a "I'm working on a new project" rather than an official release, the extension itself is still a work-in-progress. A link to the project: https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec

I have a pretty specific vision of what v0.1.0 of this extension will look like, but it'll take a few more weeks to get there. This blog post was more for letting users of sqlite-vss (a previous vector search SQLite extension I wrote) know what will be coming next. There will be a much bigger release when that is ready.

But in general, I'm super excited to have an easy embeddable vector search alternative! Especially one that runs on all operating system, in WASM, mobile devices, Raspberry Pis, etc. I personally I'm trying to run a lil' semantic search app on my Beepy[0], which is a ton of fun to play with.

A lot of it comes down to how your body responds.

I found that cardio tended to severely limit my lifting gains if I did anything more than 30 minutes in a week. I stopped entirely and found my lift increased more rapidly.

But that's just me. Just like all the other variables you have - number of sets, number of repetitions, frequency of workouts, rest periods, it's good to try a few options and see which one your body responds to the best.
To frame the discussion as one of either/or alternatives is self-defeating, a more productive framing is what are the various strategies we can employ to reduce obesity?

There are plenty which are unrelated to self-control or personal discipline. One is a sugar tax (not a huge fan personally but it exists).

One I do like is to regulate the advertising and labeling of food. Frankly I'd like to know how many calories I'm eating or being persuaded to eat, pretty much all the time. This is a work in progress with the FDA gradually expanding the types of restaurants that are required to disclose caloric and nutrition info about their food. Frankly I'd like to see it required in advertisements too, if you're advertising a pizza, the advertisement should disclose that there are 2,000 calories in that pizza, many people actually are not aware.

Not that I ever thought they were serving health food at the Cheesecake Factory, but I recently learned that their peanut butter cheesecake is 1650 calories per slice! Almost a full day's calories in one slice of cake! Nearly everyone I've talked to about it knew it was a gut buster but no one guessed that high.

Those cheesecakes are only for special occasions now and it's because C.F. is required to disclose calories, I'd be fatter if not for this simple government intervention. Nothing to do with self control. Apologies to C.F. but with the nation's obesity rate cresting 50% I consider this a wholly reasonable imposition on their free speech rights or whatever.
So all competitive action games (for example) should go away and be replaced by competitive coding or scripting of action-game-playing bots?

I'm hearing that cheating is a social issue and we're dumb for using technology to address it. But the social need to compete, here's a whole masturbatory fantasy of how coding is the last battlefield we'll ever need for that. The cunning and slandered cheaters have shown us a better way.

Let's rewrite the whole activity of gaming so that people who are bad at aiming guns but do know how to install a script can get a trophy.
That's true but it's important to not underestimate that importance of defaults. Not only because it's more accessible out of the box, the ecosystem then can rely on it which means that crates you encounter are more likely to integrate nicely with whatever you're doing. Integration with the stdlib can then also be richer vs as a standalone crate. A great example of this is temporary file management. It's silly that's not bundled in the standard library.

That being said, I'm responding to the general philosophy. I haven't looked at anything in this specific crate.
Over the past 11 months, I've lost 122lbs, from 330lbs to 208lbs. (May 30, 2023 - Today)

For the first 2 months, cardio was not part of it. Really focusing on diet, reintroducing myself to portions of Whole Foods to hit macro goals. Really focusing on vegetables and protein, large quantities of low calorie foods that digest relatively slowly to keep me satiated for long periods. They're also quick to digest.

I was always active, even at 330lbs I would mountain bike (ascending and downhill) comfortable on black diamonds, same with snowboarding. This continued, but I didn't try to explicitly do and track cardio.

After I lost 35lbs, I added CrossFit once a week. Then 2 times a week. Then 3 times a week. I noticed that olympic lifts and squats would cause extreme systemic fatigue, and would leave me dizzy and out of breath. After a couple months,

I stopped doing CrossFit due to an injury caused that that effect, and started isolated training for muscle hypertrophy utilizing machines for 5+ days a week, but missed the cardio that CrossFit gave.

I was about 260lbs at this point, and started with incline walking at about 3mph at max incline for 40 minutes. Then I started to begin my cardio with a 6mph run until I was out of breath and a high heart rate, and then began the incline walking.

After a week or so, I began running the a mile at the fastest speed I could, then switching to incline walking until my heart rate dropped, and alternated running and incline walking for 40 minutes.

Then, in November, I ran my first 5k in 34 minutes. I was hooked. I walked a couple minutes of it in the middle, but was pround myself. Today, I can run a 5k in 25 minutes if I push myself.

Today, I ran 5 miles without stopping with several hundred feet of elevation gain.

Cardio health is life changing. I used to be tired walking up large sets of stairs, and it was embarrassing to not be able to hold a conversation for long while walking up stairs.

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 have lost nearly 1% of my body weight per week as a vegetarian while gaining significant muscle mass (today, I am about 15-17% body fat at 6'1 and 208lbs).

The biggest thing I can say is it's never too late to start, and it's important to be consistent and find what works for you. At 32 years old, I have added years to my life, and feel and look better than I ever have.

Also, cardio gives an amazing dopamine rush that beyond addicting. Highly recommend it. But don't forget the resistance training.

Anyone can do it. One day at a time.

As someone in tech, the process of rebuilding yourself is addicting once you start to see progress on every front.

VO2Max Increasing. Resting Heart Rate Dropping. Waist Shrinking. Chest, Arms, Legs Growing. Muscle definition increasing. Lift PRs increasing. And you look better in clothing.

It would have been a lot easier for him if he had simply sold the bananas at a flat per-banana price. That's typically how many grocery stores in the US sell them (notably Trader Joe's). Here in Japan, they typically sell them in small bunches for a fixed price, with the small bananas sold at a lower price (for a group of 3 or 4) and the larger ones at a higher price next to them. There's no need to weigh bananas at the point at the point of sale at all.
Not sure how true this is, I heard in the Joe Rogan podcast, cardio vascular fitness, like the extreme kind correlates with nearly the entire disease spectrum. It doesn't apply to something like 'acts of god' type things like Cancer or COVID. But it seems to be the best bet against aging, and other diseases.

My favorite exercise in this regard is Swimming and Kettlebell training.

This is true. Anti-Chinese sentiment right now is high worldwide. And had been high since the 19th century. Look up Chinese Exclusion Act.
This doesn’t work when driving primarily because cars are generally moving a lot fast and are less maneuverable that bikes in avoiding conflict.
To me it's a measurement of roughly how not-dead I am
It's a logarithmic curve. On a 1 to 10 scale, increasing activity from 0 to 1 provides a large decrease in mortality. Going from 1 to 2 another big jump. But 2 to 3 is less, until finally it plateaus.

But yes, people don't realize that even just walking at a moderate pace for 20 min 3 times a week provides huge benefits if you are otherwise completely sedentary.
I have a hard time believing that a truly sedentary person could do that.
Most likely way to die or become an amputee in modern war is being hit by artillery out of nowhere. There’s no glory in that so recruiters don’t talk about it much.
I would suggest that in the next 5 years or so if ozempic and others don't turn out to be cancer causing or have more than awful side effects that we'll see a large drop in obesity, as obesity isn't an easy thing to change. Likely other competitors will come along and use a similar mechanism and Novo won't be able to charge $1000 a month for it any longer allowing 80-85% of those who are overweight to give it a shot.
Not at all too rambly, very interesting, thank you. Your answer makes intuitive sense to me; I'll ponder over it.
What's wrong with exceptions? Nothing. (2016)
A lot of people assume humans are mechanistic, unfeeling CICO convertors and exclude psychological and physiological realities of losing weight. I've grown used to it. It took several tries for me to drop 50lbs and most of it was psychological and good habit formation. it took about 3 years to complete that journey.
It's ridiculous that you think developers aren't doing other things apart from kernel level anti-cheat to secure their games. There has been an enormous amount of engineering around combatting cheaters.

Why doesn't Microsoft just build a more secure operating system than reaching for Microsoft Defender and other kernel level protection mechanisms. Well because they are but they're not good enough which is exactly the point.

Gamers who use their PC to play games, will install what they can to play such games its a simple as that. Not everyone has the same tolerance to risk.
> ... and frankly I really like just plain vanilla Lua. I think it matches perfectly with Rust because they're so different, I think having an Rust embedded language that frees you from even having to think about ownership is very powerful because it can be used for things where having to think about ownership can be more trouble than its worth. Let each language play to their strengths, and Rust and Lua in a lot of ways have complementary strengths.

Tons of awesome technical details in the post and I've always felt that Lua's co-routines are incredibly undervalued. We used to run Lua in all sorts of crazy places and it really punches above its weight.

The above quote + zoom out at the end also makes some really good observations. Some of the most powerful systems I've worked on picked a couple core technologies that were complementary with good interop rather than a one-size fits all. Will be interesting to see where Piccolo goes.

I believe this is due to communist forces being under siege since the beginning of the ideology.

From CCP's perspective it has been surrounded by enemies from even before the founding of the PRC.

What's the advantage of a VO2max test compared to e.g. measuring speed or power in your (standardized) intervals?
> For online play, rely on community reports and moderation.

This works fairly well for paid games with moderate ($40+) barrier to entry for new accounts. It does close to nothing for popular free games with little to no barrier of entry. Even with the current moderate barrier or entry, people currently buy ($10-ish) leveled accounts to go cheat in ranked with.
> Analysts have long suspected that Tesla's considerable valuation vastly exceeded its actual worth.

Perhaps the same analysts have long suspected that the moon orbits the earth.

Musk has run Tesla as a pump 'n' dump and personal ATM for years, in plain sight, with "analysts" and investors playing along because they know they can get out before Musk tanks the company. Let's not pretend anyone got fooled or invested in Tesla and propped up the ridiculous valuation out of hopeful dreams of a better future.
It's possible both of you are right...

the only way I was able to improve mine was to use interval training to get my heart rate up. It took a few months but going from a walk to sprint levels on my elliptical did wonders after a while. Observing my heart rate carefully of course.

If youtube (and every similar website) was forced to abandon content moderation (or cease being "you"tube), that wouldn't substantially increase their chargeback rate.

> ramp up their moderation hard

Not good enough. Every claim about a person in every video posted to youtube would need to be fact checked prior to being visible on youtube. You are underestimating the degree to which this kills youtube qua youtube. This is subtantially more true for facebook, or for comment sections.

>still have liabilities in countries that aren't the US

Already most sites that are required to censor content for a certain locale only block it for IPs from that locale. I doubt this would change.
I think this is the opposite. It's avoiding premature abstraction/generalization.
Shouldn't the title be "Weak cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality"?
Kind of tacky, but I had a strange "what if" kind of conversation with someone about alcohol. The premise was that more people are born due to drunken sexual encounters than are killed by drunk drivers.
Exponentially? Not really.

In pre-state societies, we generally seem to see around a 15% chance of dying due to warfare in your lifetime. Early states seem to see that fall to around mid-high single digits. And this decreases to tiny fractions in modern times, but mostly because warfare has declined rather than wars becoming less deadly. Brutal episodes of war--say the Eastern Front on WW2 or some of the theaters in modern wars--can see overall death rates of up to 20 or 30% of people involved. Given that the amount of people involved in military action has generally decreased (pre-state societies generally mobilize their entire military age male population as warriors, modern industrial states... don't), this suggests that ancient warfare is approximately as brutal as even lopsided modern warfare.

Pretty insane for the writer or even China/Russia to believe the US, with all of its resources, wouldn't be able to make their own accurate maps.
Maybe pointwise mutual information (pmi)
It really doesn’t matter for most amateurs trying to improve their health whether the metric is accurate or not. The huge benefit of fitness trackers is that a metric is a metric is a metric. Eat less, exercise more, sleep soundly - you can’t go wrong, and if the metric is steps, or HR, or pace, or calories burned, or (in this case) estimated VO2max and seeing improvements in those metrics relative to a baseline is a motivating factor then that’s all that matters.

Well done to OP. Keep it up.
It's still addictive and likely to be horrible for your heart (smoke causes cancer, but nicotine even in low doses causes what looks like heart issues, though unlike cancer these might be reversible).
I believe a lot of that can be tied back to the default switching from myisam to innodb. crashes frequently resulted in corrupt tables with myisam. innodb is very good at recovering.
> This is true. Anti-Chinese sentiment right now is high worldwide. And had been high since the 19th century. Look up Chinese Exclusion Act.

I know the Act, and it's awful. But I don't think it's "true". At least we can agree that Chinese seem to have a sense that the world is "against" them.

I'm sure it seems it's true if you're Chinese, but for a country that literally describes anyone "non Chinese" as "outsider", and thinks that's entirely normal, I think it's more likely the sense of "othering" is self-created.

Perhaps the sense of "world against us" is balanced by, and created by, a Chinese sense that they are "against" others and need to be? Supported by a particularly Chinese sense of manifest destiny where "rejuvenation" means reestablishing what they see as their rightful place of "specialness" and "centralness" in the world? Accelerated recently by the central government's focus on "external spies" and preparing for "struggle"?

Like on a sidewalk, if you need to be "central" don't you also need to push "others" aside? :) I get you need to then play the fake victim and pretend others started it, but if you're starting with "othering", and "centralness" and "specialness", isn't it you who's responsible? But just not bold enough to own it yet, explicitly? So need to pretend, "Oh it's other people doing this, therefore we're doing it."

But what if it's actually self-generated, this desire for "centralness" and the concomitant "othering" of "non Chinese?" I think that's likely. Whether it's a historical reaction or a persistent characteristic, I'm not sure, but I don't think it matters. The fruits right now are the same. Although, I think it's likely that it is a persistent idea: remember that China was the predominant economy worldwide for at least 1000 years over a span that included the "Dark Ages" for the West. China not being the most developed is a recent thing. See Ian Morris' books for analysis if interested :) So it would make sense if Chinese now hold onto a forgotten dream of being more great than everyone else, and are starting to act like it. In fact, "feel it" to be their identity in the world, and the "rejuvenation" is sending them back to that? :) I think it's likely. What do you think?

It's culturally highly xenophobic and insular, despite being globally mercantile. I don't think it's likely that people are "against" Chinese as much as Chinese are against "outsiders" and the effects that then creates, both internally and on the world stage. Sad tho definitely! :)
