A recent study that I read showed muscle strength is best developed by not performing the maximum number of <lift/exercise/whatever>. It showed that stopping somewhere around 90%-ish was optimal, beyond was suboptimal for strength.

For muscle size, going to maximum is optimal, but it's less optimal for strength.

Their example was: instead of doing 8 reps of bench press where you can barely get the final rep, do maybe 1 fewer. They were more precise in the point to stop, but it's not something avg person can detect compared to their analysis, so this is just ballpark-ish.

Which parts of America?

I mean, the US has lots of areas where the water is contaminated with carcinogens and other toxins and pollutants. The oil pipeline spills alone are already a handful, and then there's mining slurry, and industry dumping their waste where they really shouldn't etc. etc.

As long as there is liability, there must be a human to blame, no matter how irrational. Every system has a failure mode, and ML models, especially the larger ones, often have the most odd and unique ones.

For example, we can mostly agree CLIP does a fine job classifying images, except if you glue a sticky note saying "iPod" onto an apple, it would say classify it as such.

No matter the performance, these are categorically statistical machines reaching for the most immediately useful representations, yielding an incoherent world model. These systems will be proposed as replacement to humans, they will do their best to pretend to work, they will inevitably fail over a long enough time horizon, and a human accustomed to rubber-stamping its decisions, or perhaps fooled by the shape of a correct answer, or simply tired enough to let it slip by, will take the blame.
How about we use AI to create fake small communities?

I mean, we all know this is exactly what we'll do, just to show you more commercials. So why not just say it?

It’s not only that, but also the semantics of the language. Is, for example, integer comparison guaranteed to be constant time? What about integer comparison with constants that require multiple load instructions (like on MIPS where all instructions are word sized so loading words requires two instructions). Is it “wrong” to do two comparisons against the high half and the low half independently, each branching on failure, if the language provides no guarantees and the outcome is the same?

Ultimately security focused languages that provide operational guarantees with C linkage are probably necessary. I don’t think it’s enough to not optimize C.

Are we sure the rot hasn't trickled down to the engineering level yet? We know that once upon a time Boeing had great engineers and had an engineering culture but decades of MBA next-quarter management stands between that old company and the current Boeing. While I'm sure many good engineers still go to work for Boeing, what percentage of all the engineers and engineering managers at the company are top quality? Seems like over the decades that attrition, a failing reputation, and a focus on the wrong things would impact the quality of talent the company hired.
Good stuff for a sci-fi novel. Black holes become the spinning hard drive platters of the universe. To preserve the Earth from existential destruction, we must fling it into a black hole.

This takeaway is a variation on an old theory. Perhaps we are already inside a black hole, and the expansion of spacetime is the rate of the black hole's growth in another universe.

That's the fun thing about the US system. The only way to find out how much it costs is to wait for the bill. So while your question is a fair one, logically speaking, it's unanswerable in practice.
You won’t. It’s essentially an arm of the federal government. No efficiency.
Yep, totally get where you're coming from. Many people, myself included, have had a similar experience starting out. To push through the learning curve, you need a strong motivation--whether it's because you have to use the language, you're drawn to the benefits of the type system and safety features, or something else specific to you. If you don't have that kind of motivation, it's totally fine. I didn't at first either, which is why my early attempts to learn the language didn't go far. Like many others, I found that it does take longer to get things done in Rust compared to languages like Java or Python. There's just more upfront thinking required. That's valuable in certain situations, but if you're not clear on why you'd make that tradeoff, there's no strong reason to keep going.

I would be willing to measure my kids feet in such a way, but if I were going to the trouble of breaking out a sheet of paper to do so, I wouldn't use an app. I'd just measure the feet and do the math myself. The math is the easy part.

As one of the top 25%, that doesn't automatically make it unfair. What is their total share of earned income? How much of the wealth do they hold?

Because they make almost no money. If you want people to pay more income tax, you need to start paying them more.
"draw a line under the last word in this line"

You have several misunderstandings packed in there.

First off, one of the things the UE does accomplish is reduce the obstacles that come with cross-border work, and European bureaucracy is massively overblown as a problem. Insofar as it is a problem, US-style lobbying amounts to as much of an obstacle. E.g. with no Intuit lobbying involved, I have literally not filed taxes once in the last ten years, it's just completely automated and a non-issue for me.

"Overregulation" is a sweeping generalisation, and pretty much irrelevant in this particular space: this is the aerospace industry we're talking about, it's one of the most tightly regulated industries worldwide. Airbus is not bogged down by any meaningful amount of red tape that Boeing is free from.
> when Airbus launched the A380, Boeing thought they would have an easy home run with the Dreamliner,

This is ahistorical.

When Airbus announced the A380, Boeing tried to respond with their own version, the 747X [1]. The 747 is arguably the most successful aviation platform in history and was hugely profitable for Boeing for 40+ years. But the industry changed to wide-body 2 engine planes (eg 777, 787, A350) because they're more economical to run and engines have become so reliable that they'll generally last the entire service life of the plane.

The A380 needs 4 engines. The 747X would've too. Even with higher passenger count, running 4 engines instead of 2 is a huge economy issue. Basically you needed to fill ~550 seats to make a profit and not many routes could support that. It works great for the ME3 airlines and arguably a couple of Asian carriers (eg Sinapore Airlines) but not really anybody else and certainly not US airlines.

A way more pivotal moment was the A319neo. This was a complete surprise to Boeing and represented an existential threat to Boeing.

As you may already know, commercial pilots are generally certified for a single type rating at a time. They can train and certify for another type rating but generally speaking commercial pilots won't switch all the time between, say, a 787 and an A350 or even a 787 and a 737.

So airlines like Southwest keep costs low by maintaining a single type rating fleet, being the 737, an airline originally designed 50+ years. So that's both a blessing and a curse for Boeing. The curse being they lose that lock-in if they design a new cockpit. Airbus didn't have that problem.

But the A319neo was so efficient and coule potentially suit US airlines that Boeing ahd to respond and make the 737 more efficient, which of course led to the whole MCAS debacle.

That wasn't the first time Boeing had issues either. Back in the 90s the 737NG had an issue (that caused crashes) with the 737 rudder getting stuck in flight. That took years to resolve.

There were issues for Boeing as a company with the 787. That's when Boeing tried to savagely cut costs with layers of subcontractors and it was a disaster that delayed delivery by years. That's continued with the 737MAX issues like the door panels not being bolted in.

Airbus is laying off a couple thousand employees. This might be a good thing for the company if those employees are truly bloat against what Airbus is currently producing but if they're quality resources that are being cut because some balance sheet needs to look better, it's a bad sign of what's to come.
You'll never obtain universal agreement for a mine, because there will always be a contingent for whom the correct number of mines is zero. They'll never put it that way, of course. But the decision process they exhibit is "new mine? no", and the consequence of realizing those preferences would be zero new mines.

Fortunately, checking to make sure the entire Internet does not have a website disagreeing with the decision to start a mine, is not part of the process by which mining is started.

They now think of themselves as a global power with an internal market deep enough to sustain their own growth and deep tie with countries in Africa and South East Asia with which they would rather do business in their own currency as a way to shore up their depencies towards them.

You are confusing current China with China a decade ago.
bold of you to assume we do.
This isn't appropriate for all use-cases, but one way to address your and GP's problem is as follows:

1. Aggregate (in-memory or on cheap storage) events in the publisher application into batches.

2. Ship those batches to S3/alike, NFS that clickhouse can read, or equivalent (even a dead-simple HTTP server that just receives file POSTs and writes them to disk, running on storage that clickhouse can reach). The tool you use here needs to be idempotent (retries of failed/timed out uploads don't mangle data), and atomic to readers (partially-received data is never readable).

3. In ClickHouse, run a scheduled refresh of a materialized view pointed at the uploaded data (either "SELECT ... INFILE" for local/NFS files, or "INSERT INTO ... SELECT s3(...)" for an S3/alike): https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/materialized-view/refreshable...

This is only a valid solution given specific constraints; if you don't match these, it may not work for you:

1. You have to be OK with the "experimental" status of refreshable materialized views. My and other users' experience with the feature seems generally positive at this point, and it has been out for awhile.

2. Given your emitter data rates, there must exist a batch size of data which appropriately balances keeping up with uploads to your blob store and the potential of data loss if an emitter crashes before a batch is shipped. If you're sending e.g. financial transaction source-of-record data, then this will not work for you: you really do need a Kafka/alike in that case (if you end up here, consider WarpStream: an extremely affordable and low-infrastructure Kafka clone backed by batching accumulators in front of S3: https://www.warpstream.com/ If their status as a SaaS or recent Confluent acquisition turns you off, fair enough.)

3. Data staleness of up to emitter-flush-interval + worst-case-upload-time + materialized-view-refresh-interval must be acceptable to you.

4. Reliability wise, the staging area for shipped batches (S3, NFS, scratch directory on a clickhouse server) must be sufficiently reliable for your use case, as data will not be replicated by clickhouse while it's staged.

5. All uniqueness/transformations must be things you can express in your materialized view's query + engine settings.
Has anyone tried working with the datasets they relied on?
I was around before that wiki page was written and know exactly what open source means. I'm not going to play the double speak game on words. open source means you can read the code. period. it doesn't matter if it's free, or if it has a commercial nature or not.

free software is software you don't have to pay money to use, it doesn't matter if you have access to the code or not.

source available means the source is available on request and with restrictions to keep it private. doesn't matter if the software is free or not.

If they got the top 5 wifi router vendors to support it, for sure you'd see other clients support it too, because the whole point of captive portal support in browsers is to react to what those routers are doing for captive portaling.

Since those vendors largely use open source tools, if you patched open source DHCP servers with that option, it would get adopted quicker by them.

- KEA DHCPD supports it as option 114: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/blob/master/src/li...

- ISC DHCPD is officially ended (whoa!), but it looks like it supports option 114: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/-/blob/master/commo...

- Dnsmasq author says they added the option (https://www.mail-archive.com/dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelley...) but I don't see it in their latest release

- Udhcpd doesn't seem to support it, so somebody could send them a patch, looks trivial to add
Absolutely bonkers analogy. Ironically, I have no doubt that GPT4 could come up with a better one. What does that mean?
I am saying a lot of "IPv6 issues" are not because of the protocol itself, but rather it is self-inflicted pain.

I think you are confusing client side automation with server side customization (out of the box internationalization, if a user can't understand complex technical terms, llm can explain them in simple terms with examples built on the fly to illustrate the point) which was my point.

The odd thing is that Civet includes both do expressions and everything is an expression. I'd be happy with either, but both seems like a bad idea.
The issue is that Qualcomm wants to switch to ARM chips where they don't pay ARM much money.

When you're making ARM chips, you can either license the instruction set or you can license whole core designs. Most people license whole core designs. You build a chip using an ARM Cortex X4 core, 3 Cortex A720 cores, and 4 Cortex A520 cores and call it a day. But when you're using ARM's core designs, you have to pay them a lot to license those core designs. But when you're licensing the instruction set (and designing your own cores), you pay ARM a tiny licensing fee. This is what Apple does.

In this case, the story goes:

A startup called Nuvia wanted to create custom ARM cores for servers and negotiated a deal with ARM that was very favorable since ARM would like to grow its server marketshare. The agreement included a stipulation that they couldn't sell their IP to another company for that other company to build ARM cores built on Nuvia IP (according to ARM). Qualcomm argues that they have an instruction set license so they're allowed to build custom cores based off that license. ARM says that Nuvia's instruction set license means that Qualcomm can't.

I don't know what the cost difference is between core licenses and instruction licenses, but some places seem to think it's around 5x. Qualcomm has around 35% of the ARM chip market, but crucially a huge portion of the more expensive (and profitable for ARM) flagship cores. It's possible that Qualcomm is half of ARM's business (maybe more). If Qualcomm shifts to their own core designs and starts paying ARM 20% of what they're paying now, that could wipe out 40% of ARM's revenue.

If Qualcomm can shift from more expensive core licenses to cheaper instruction licenses, it would wipe out a huge portion of ARM's business. Worse, if those cores are better and become the de-facto flagship cores, it'd wipe out even more of ARM's business as companies like Samsung and Google might feel the need to buy Qualcomm chips (with better cores) rather than buying ARM's Cortex X cores for their flagship phones.

Likewise, Qualcomm is unlikely to stop at smartphones. They're already moving into laptops which will make it harder for any company using ARM-designed cores to get a foothold there. Qualcomm could move into servers in the near future and offer something better than the ARM Neoverse cores that are used by AWS's Graviton, Google's Axion, and Ampere.

So it's an enormous threat to ARM's business and ARM feels like it gave Nuvia a sweetheart deal because they were a small startup looking to enter a mostly new market rather than disrupting their current business - and they gave them a license with restrictions on it. Then Nuvia sold to Qualcomm who is using that IP to stop paying ARM - and ARM thinks that goes against the restrictions that Nuvia agreed to.
I thought I read that they had enough maintainers already and so don't need to write any guides on kernel development.
Not when you open the app store.

The typical app store workflow for me is I visit the store to download a specific app I'd like to install. That app will then have to download and install while I wait.

That "while I wait" is an ideal time to ask me to rate other recently installed apps, or an app I haven't used in a while.

This is the current situation in the United States. The problem with this is that when you have shattered/distributed state power, they work to achieve opposing objectives. On one hand we have massive subsidies provided to the fossil fuel industry while at the same time spending millions on research in renewable energy. Recently we had huge subsidies to growing tobacco while also funding programs to stop people from smoking. This is ineffective and inefficient use of money. Now, this would happen with private companies as well, but the difference is that private companies have no means to force individuals to pay for their costs the way state government does. The state can threaten you by means of force or jail to pay for both of these conflicting endeavors through taxation. Whereas you only give money to private enterprises voluntarily, where you find value in their goods or services.

Fine Tuning SD3.5
The company was six months to running out of cash when Steve Jobs came back in 1998. The iPod came out in late 2001.

What Steve Jobs did that saved the company was put the hatchet to everything that didn't have an inkling of making cold hard cash. He killed the Newton, destroyed the convoluted product line, and most importantly put the whole company under one P&L statement. That's what saved Apple.

That he then was able to quickly herald a return to portable devices with the iPod is what allowed Apple to become the behemoth it is today. It's useless to pretend to know exactly what would have happened had Apple not made iPod.

Brucehoult mentions it further down.

> This time last year they were all over the RISC-V mailing lists, trying to convince everyone to drop the "C" extension from RVA23 because (basically confirmed by their employees) it was not easy to retrofit mildly variable length RISC-V instructions (2 bytes and 4 bytes) to the Aarch64 core they acquired from Nuvia.
At the same time, Qualcomm proposed a new RISC-V extension that was pretty much ARMv8-lite.

This is enough of a philosophy change to break existing RISC-V software, and so is purely motivated by a desire to clone IP they supposedly licensed as honest brokers.
Thanks for the feedback.
