I think FreeDOS shows why worrying about something being "useless" isn't so productive: it probably seemed somewhat "useless" at the time, but ended up being more useful to more people, and for a much longer time, than initially predicted. Did anyone predict that it would be so useful, decades later, for the tech-support use-cases it enjoys now?

I don't understand your post. There is no mention of testing 1 rep max (1 RM) in the article.

Are you under the impression that the HRT group was training by only performing 1 RM lifts? That wasn't the case:

> At a commercial gym, HRT performed a supervised full body programme three times per week, with 6–8 weeks of initial habituation. The periodisation programme was machine based and each exercise included 3 sets of 6–12 repetitions at ~70%–85% of 1 RM, which was estimated using the prediction equation according to methods by Brzycki

Meanwhile the moderate group did something very similar, just with more repetitions and less weight:

> 3 sets of 10–18 repetitions at ~50%–60% of 1 RM

I don't see how one is more "realistic" than the other.

I would like to add that I believe that most people will not and should not do 1rm tests.

People who have trained for some time know their actual 1rm which in itself has factors that influence it on the day such as sleep, food intake, hormone levels etc.

Even then trained individuals can fail their 1rm at maximum.

Untrained individuals belief of their 1rm vary wildly. Those who overestimate their 1rm at retirement age have much larger recovery times (and from my observation, more risk of long term damage) than the average 20 year old.
I’m not clear whether the fund is specifically for natural gas plants? Surely any power source rated to provide power in emergency conditions would be a better idea and a level playing field?

>Besides, many social conventions "exclude" people.

All social conventions exclude people. There's no way to be inclusive of everyone. For an extreme example, if you allow Nazi ideology in a place, for instance, that excludes people who won't put up with that or who the Nazis chase away. But if you disallow Nazi ideology, then you're excluding Nazis. Of course, this will devolve into Popper's paradox of tolerance, but the point is, you can't please everyone. Someone's always going to be excluded by whatever social conventions you put in place. You just have to decide which groups of people you're willing to exclude.

The researchers also found that they could retrain the models in a way that improves their fairness. However, their approach to "debiasing" worked best when the models were tested on the same types of patients on whom they were trained, such as patients from the same hospital. When these models were applied to patients from different hospitals, the fairness gaps reappeared.

"I think the main takeaways are, first, you should thoroughly evaluate any external models on your own data because any fairness guarantees that model developers provide on their training data may not transfer to your population. Second, whenever sufficient data is available, you should train models on your own data," says Haoran Zhang, an MIT graduate student and one of the lead authors of the new paper.
```

This is just overfitting. Why are they training whole models on only one hospital worth of data when they appear to have access to five? They should be training on all of the data in the world they can get their hands on then maybe fine tuning on their specific hospital (maybe they have higher quality outcomes data that verifies the readings) if there are still accuracy issues. The last five years have taught us that gobbling up everything (even if it's not the best quality) is the way.

To me the true story is how all of a sudden these news outlets started dumping this sort of content targeting Biden while somehow turning a blind eye to Trump's long history of dementia, whose symptoms take daily center stage in his campaign trail. It's baffling how the bar is set so differently for two persons in the exact same circumstances.
They say right there, "To hopefully mitigate the impact of this".

Having a mutex right there in the hot path of Instant::now is not great for performance. You expect getting monotonic time to be very fast generally, and some code is written with that assumption (i.e. tracing code measuring spans).
The main influences are Mapudungun and the Andalusian accent due to many early immigrants coming from that region. Neither German nor others were numerous enough to influence the Chilean dialect, especially in the capital (Germans and Croats mostly got lands in the south).
Back when a fast microcomputer ran at 25 MHz and had 4 MB of RAM, back before Stack Exchange existed for people to copy and paste from, back when documentation came in a hardcopy book or CD, back when compilers were something you paid hundreds of dollars for, back before there were publicly available frameworks and libraries that were open source and free as in beer, the bar was much, much higher and knowing at least the basic algorithms was the norm. Whining about coding during a job interview would have gotten you laughed out of the room.
Ah, that's fair. Didn't realize there was a significant performance impact.
> I would like to add that I believe that most people will not and should not do 1rm tests.

More so, most people don't even know how. It's something you'll absolutely want a good coach for if you aren't a thoroughly experienced lifter. And even then it's a good idea to not attempt it alone.
That's not how they defined heavy and medium in the study. Here's what the heavy cohort did:

> At a commercial gym, HRT performed a supervised full body programme three times per week, with 6–8 weeks of initial habituation. The periodisation programme was machine based and each exercise included 3 sets of 6–12 repetitions at ~70%–85% of 1 RM, which was estimated using the prediction equation according to methods by Brzycki.

This seems pretty reasonable to me regardless of age, the heavy program didn't include testing 1RM. It was 3x6-12 of each exercise at around 75% of 1RM. Sounds like an ordinary weight training program. With 6-8 weeks of habituation most older people could probably do this. All machines so pretty safe.

The medium program didn't even use weights - it was all bands and bodyweight and unusually high reps at 55% of 1RM. I don't know any serious lifter who would recommend that program, I haven't even thought about how you would measure a 1RM for exercises that don't use weights? So not sure what this is but I'm unsurprised that the heavy program worked better.

The medium program included circuit training and kinda sounds more like a cardio routine, wonder if that's the comparison they were going for
Drone is Sunflower 200, aka improved Shahed136 clone, shown late last year, from Cobtech Ltd aka Beijing Zongshang Dingsheng who got sanctioned by US BIS at end of May. Lighter frame, can be vertically launched without rocket assistence basically anywhere. No sign of UKR battlefield use until then, at least no lethal models (ISR variants exist), but post sanctions they're likely going to start selling to RU now. Curious to see price points / scale of how much PRC industry can churn out improved Shaheds. Probably less than the 10k USD it cost for Iran. Would be verified game changer if 2nd/3rd rate PRC MIC company can spam 4-5 digits of 2500km (basically all of 1st island chain) moped piston drones per month.
I have not been able to fully digest this paper yet, and medical data is not my speciality. It is interesting but not surprising that models appear able to determine the demographics of the patient that even radiologists are unable to. It is also not surprising that models use this to "cheat" (find demographic shortcuts in disease classification).

My understanding is that doctors may unconsciously do this as well, ignoring a possible diagnosis because they don't expect a patient of a certain demographic to have a particular issue.

I would expect radiologists who practice in very different demographic environments would not do as well when evaluating images another environment.

At the end of the day radiology is more an art than a science, so the training data may well be faulty. Krupinski (2010) wrote in an interesting paper [1]:

"Medical images need to be interpreted because they are not self-explanatory... In radiology alone, estimates suggest that, in some areas, there may be up to a 30% miss rate and an equally high false positive rate ... interpretation errors can be caused by a host of psychophysical processes ... radiologists are less accurate after a day of reading diagnostic images and that their ability to focus on the display screen is reduced because of myopia. "

I would hope datasets included a substantial amount of images that were originally mis-classified as a human.

Only the President can decide what happens to his records and documents. This has been made clear under Navy v. Egan. Congress can pass no laws regarding classification or record keeping. The Presidential Records Act has a caveat where the "personal records" of the President belong exclusively to him, and it's the President who decides what is personal or not.
For trigonometry/calculus/physics radians are by far the most practical because they are dimensionless, so no constants appear when differentiating or integrating. (By the way, these constants will involve factors of pi anyway, it's inherent.)

For example, try to work out the Taylor series for sin(x) using degrees (or rotations). It's awful.
I don't think this has much to do with Brexit, at least not directly.

The NHS surcharge predates Brexit and was over concerns of "medical tourism" by foreigners (ab)using the free NHS. If we assume this was a legitimate concern for the sake of the discussion, then there's a bunch of measures one can potentially take. Introducing an up-front surcharge is quite possibly the most idiotic measure you can take and just screams "fuck off foreigners we don't want you you fucking leech".

Why the hell should I pay £1,035 extra/year in addition to my taxes? Somehow your taxes are enough to pay for NHS but not mine? That just makes no sense. Having to pay five years up-front is just full-on idiocy on top of what was already idiotic.

Without a Brexit, all of this would still be the case for people from the Americas, Africa, Asia.
Yeah, I think namedtuple's popularity (recommended in this link) was a mistake. It's sole modern use case should be to turn tuples used as an unnamed struct into a named struct while preserving tuple indexing for backward compatibility.

Most people don't need, say, a[-3] as an alias for a.field_name.

Otherwise, for those who want the standard library, use a dataclass with frozen=True for immutability.
At this point you have to assume that nothing in our body is a coïncidence. Also there’s no free lunch.

I think active people should look into Super Slow one set training to complete failure.

Basically, pick the weight that you can do super slow, for about 60-90 seconds max. You should be at total failure at the end, but since the weight will be MUCH lower than 1rm, it's very safe.

I think this is a LOT more effective than doing exercises for sustained periods of time.

Someone once told me any exercise you can do for several minutes is just dancing. Not strength training. And from trying many methods over the years, I agree.

I've had friends that can squat impressive numbers try super slow body weight squats. They can do more squats with 225+ lbs at their usual pace than they can body weight super slow. Considering how much safer super slow body weight squats are (basically no risk) compared to 225+, I don't know why more people don't do it.

Hi, my name is Milad Mehri, currently going into my second year for my B.Sc in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. I have developed several projects with many different technologies and am in the process of creating more. A lot of them can be found on my github: https://github.com/milad-mehri .

I am interested in any position that will provide me with a hands-on opportunity to develop new skills and learn more about the tech industry.
Yeah, even experienced lifters tend to shy away from 1RM lifts, especially as you get older. Just too little margin for error.

I mean that’s probably the point of the study

1RM is almost purely CNS adaptation rather than strength (~3-5 reps), muscle hypertrophy (~5-10 reps) or cardio/endurance/conditioning (~10+ reps)

I know older former athletes who still train their 1RMs but I agree it’s well beyond what most health conscious people are training for

I wonder if there was a public health campaign around this whether it would do more harm than good. I can see a lot of potentially fatal cardiac issues arising

I'm excited to see the main deterrents to Indy gave dev: art and sound, get AI'd away. A single developer could use an off-the-shelf game engine and some AI generated assets (perhaps combining with whatever they can buy cheap) to develop some fun games.

He is in a pickle. He could solve his problems by using a Mac. Designed from the ground up in a uniform fashion instead of bolted on components from different vendors. Excellent sleep/wake support, none of this nonsense of switching graphics cards....but he is a game developer and so he is married to this platform called PC/Windows that is composed of competing interests, none of which care about the total user experience. I guess his only solution is to shout into the wind on Twitter and hope something will change (it wont).

I don't think this is related to slow hardware, maybe bad drivers, but not slow hardware.
I consistently get a faster boot both on Windows and on MacOS with reasonably slower specs than my Linux desktop.
The linux boot is fast, some 5sec maximum. But Windows is almost instant, of course it uses the notorious fast startup, but even so I expected more from linux, being some lightweight as it is
Super slow sounds a lot like "a few positions of static holds". Agree - static holds are really really important for general strength and especially mobility, but are not what people are really going for when they talk about "getting stronger".

Unless I'm missing something - super slow probably makes you look and feel better but doesn't put up those "Big numbers" that some people care about.

From the linked article about the usage

The state’s main electric grid operator has sharply increased its prediction for how much power demand will increase in coming years. If it’s accurate, the state would need to be able to provide nearly double the amount of power within six years.

That's nuts. Are other states seeing similar increases?
Indeed!

Well, yes. Thank you. I am interested and frankly identify with others who would literally pry back the cloak of reality itself to see what lies beyond, or inside.

Sometimes I feel like it is crazy. Here we are, each of us taking this free ride we are given. That ticket to a life.

And what else is there but wonder?

We don't know why we are here. We don't know for how long, though we have a general idea for each of us, and it's not long enough, if you ask me.

And the place is HUGE! Good grief. There is ZERO chance at even a tiny smidge of understanding, but we can get a glimpse through science. And that's cool!

Are we stuck on some backwater just far enough from the goings on to be alone effectively?

Or, maybe most of the place is toxic and we are ultra lucky.

I could go on. We've all had these thoughts. And we will all hopefully make peace in our shared ignorance too.

For me, that's looking around at what we think we understand, where we can actually go, what we can actually do and it's amazing!

What is even more amazing is the science we do opens up doors. Little by little we increase our grasp on this ride we are on, this place we are in, and for us reading this right now there is a damn good chance this taste of it all will be all we ever know.

Sure glad we are here, and my only complaint is we spend way too damn much time laboring when we probably don't need to and not enough of us get to participate in the science, but at least it's shared with us. I'm happy. Seriously.
