It consists of 300,000 square miles of waving emerald grass dotted by modern windmills, with blue crystal growths spawning throughout. It’s a place of calm, barring the threat of Krystalrs. What are Krystalrs? Giant crystal spiders that burrow underground and cause hallucinations. Also an orb named Jason lives here.

100g of carbs a day is easily burnt. That's about 4 breads, or 300g of cooked pasta, rice. Eating OMAD, that's enough for a satisfying meal (with lots of protein). That's been my main diet for the past 3/4 years and I have a very easy time keeping lean mass and lowering my bodyfat %.
Although I have enough cardiopulmonary reserve to have completed the Triple Bypass in Colorado, the Apple Watch regularly registers me in a near-cardiac-transplant range of impairment; so I’ve come to mistrust its estimates. It also correlates poorly with a laboratory VO2 max ergometric test in my case.

It'd be trivial to ask LLM to generate the query; but since it's a client-side app there's nowhere to store the api key - so each user would have to supply one, which is a bit of an awkward experience.
It's meant to be an indicator of fitness but agreed it doesn't make any practical difference to how you train
The absolute doesn't really matter (except for bragging rights), but the trend is definitely useful if it accurately follows your form.

Of course, a vo2max doesn't explain everything as an endurance athlete. As a cyclist it has a big correlation to FTP, but there are also different metrics to be good at. Short sprints, recovery after bursts, plain grit for multi-hour rides etc. are all different skills not shown in a single number.
> An example of extraordinary code would be code that interfaces with and/or pulls in non-memory-safe legacy C code.

That's my point though. Of course calling non-memory safe native code over FFI can lead to memory-safety problems in any language. Likewise using the "unsafe" subset that basically every language has. But none of that is required in Go. It is only required that you mutate shared state from different threads, which is something that I would imagine happens in a lot of Go code codebases since it is an extremely easy mistake to make.

To be clear I think:

1. Go is mostly a memory safe language because it does in fact prevent the most common memory safety issues in C/C++ (UAF, buffer overflows, etc)

2. It is LESS memory safe than other modern memory-sage languages (Rust, Java, C#, Python, etc....)

3. The memory safety issues in Go are very difficult to exploit in code that is not specifically crafted to surface them

Do I read it correctly that you went from 4 min/km to 3 min/km?

That's 20 km/h. As my sibling poster said, this is absolutely insane.
To me, interval running and HIIT is not the same. I mostly think of HIIT as something done in a gym with a kind of strength/cardio focus, not endurance? But also, even if my run or bike ride was a HIIT, I still would like my normal data / setup for that activity.
As a founder and engineer primarily focused on AI right now, it's strange to see all of this going on. Neither I nor anyone in my immediate bubble go along with the fanaticism, it's an exciting new tool with lots of potential, but a tool among many nonetheless.

I want to prevent everyone else from getting distracted by the shininess of it all, because the world really needs all these scientists and organizations to keep progressing the substantial work they are best at.

The recent Nobel in physics was the perfect example, and I think HN echoed the general feeling that we mightily respect the field, probably above what we are doing, and that it is an outrage for it to get overshadowed like that.

It's also weird to see how not being focused on AI is disrupting so many people, but being focused on AI doesn't help you that much either. It is definitely not the trump-card people think it is with investors, and even less with the market. Sometimes it is better not to emphasize it because it cheapens the whole thing! Among other things, people (understandably) do not understand the spectrum of possibilities for using LLMs, in their minds it all boils down to asking ChatGPT, which is obviously not very substantive. At the end of the day, it's all just technical details, people want results and value.
And if one is using iGPU, one might think I'll have a great bandwidth, but reality is that DDR memory for CPU is optimized for low latency not bandwidth and they'll probably have a 64 bit channel (or 2x32 bits) from a single DDR module or 128 bit in dual channel configuration, while something like RTX 4090 will have onboard graphics-DDR GDDR memory on 384 bit channel very much optimized for bandwidth and not latency pushing according to specs a terabyte per second. Apple really needed their memory architecture - having a high memory bandwidth for onboard GPU to have reasonable performance.
That makes sense. If you do longer runs (and long fast runs) then your half/marathon time will be more accurate. In general, the issue with using VO2max to priduct race performance is that it doesn't take into account account running economy which is a massive factor in determining performance for longer distances. Same with lactate threshold, which has a big impact on all distances. E.g. at what point do you go from a metabolic steady state to an unsustainable state. It's the most important factor in distance running in my opinion. The threshold can be at quite a slow pace even for someone with a high VO2max if they are not doing the right training. E.g. think of someone who is excellent at HIIT and has a VO2max of 60+ but can't run a fast 10km.
I'm having the same questions. Currently, and this might change rapidly, the new GitHub Copilot provides the best cost/benefit solution. For $10, you have access to the best models, and with a Composer feature similar to Cursor, that edits multiple files in your code base.

But if you want to experiment with many open LLMs instead, I suggest you use OpenRouter. It gives you access to any model with a single api key.
I still remember my first listen to Off The Wall and Thriller on headphones, Thriller being the ultimate experience. Collaborating with engineer Bruce Swedien, Jones produced a complicated topped-off waveform of a layered masterpiece in which you could hear every discrete vocal and instrument.

You’d probably be tracking FTP or lactate threshold (amongst other things) instead of vo2max, right?

That's a style of discussion that goes nowhere. Either you believe in an argument, then you should be prepared to defend it - or you don't.

Saying "I don't actually believe this, but lots of people do, so we should take it seriously" doesn't serve any purpose.
>In any case, I'm not sure I'd want to use a group of leading ethno-nationalists as an example of how ordinary humans think about other cultures.

sorry for having that spring to mind, I could certainly use any number of examples from my own experience but I guess that could be discounted because how do you really know what my experience is.

At any rate the great number of British, Danish, German, Swedish, and Italian peoples I know have no real understanding of American culture, and excepting the Danish, German and Swedish not much understanding of each others' cultures as far as I can tell.

Of course that is all as far as I can tell, and that is just based on my interpretation - for example I don't necessarily think you have much understanding of American culture or Americans based on your statements here - but that's because I disagree with them (as being particular to Americans), if I agreed I guess I would think you were especially insightful.

on edit: so I think you're basically just the way most people are about other cultures, making some assumptions based on little exposure and some examples of your acquaintance. Because it is very difficult to really get into anything relatively large, you don't have the time. Maybe your colleagues should have known more, but not sure that translates to knowing anything about Americans.

>How do you know there is any ‘way to evolve’ ? Let alone multiple…

I explained what evolution is and why there are many avenues through which evolutionary pressures can arise and cause change. If the explanation is beyond you, that could be a me issue, it might be you didnt read things properly, it could be the knowledge gap between us is bigger than either of us realise. Either way, I've asked an llm (local and chatgpt) to explain my comment like I am 5, and it does a good job, so try querying an llm on the topic, getting it to help bridge the gap.

*edit* ive done the same for your comment and llms seem to indicate you were trying to raise a what-if scenario of "what if all this evolution happens and is nullified by a catastrophe"

if that was your take/question/contribution we are done here, as that's not a useful or thought provoking question. What if the sun blows up tomorrow. What if it is all a false vacuum and true vacuum forms in my big toe tomorrow and space time itself unravels before i can so much as fart. If thats our line of thinking we should stop wasting our time and join a monsatry, join others in a long standing tradition of indulging a pointless and arbitrary whatif.
You can do everything in Python. But perhaps it is not the best tool for every job.

This is similar to programming language discussions: any programming language can be discredited by saying "but I can do all that in assembly/C/whatever". Yes, you can, but perhaps there are better ways to do it.
As with everything tty related, there's a lot of history baked into the architecture. As new features arrive, you have to find some place in that architecture to insert it, perhaps awkwardly, but it beats rewriting the world.

So we start the interactive age with teletypes, keyboards and paper. Nothing beyond printing the characters, ringing the bell, and the basic ACSII chars for moving right (SPACE, TAB), left (BS, CR), and down (VT, FF, LF). The main editor is a line editor called ed.

Move ahead a few years and you have 'glass' ttys, every one of them different. This is the termcap and curses era. The screen size is baked into the termcap entry. Editors are now interactive 'screen' editors, vi and emacs mostly. Pretty soon, some terminals can support multiple font sizes and the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables can override the termcap entries. Terminals are still separate devices connected via RS-232 and all communication is in-band.

Move ahead a few more years and we're now in the era of workstations with bitmapped graphics (and their Mac and PC equivalents). 'Terminals' are now interactive graphics programs that run under the window system (either X11 or proprietary), so they need to translate kbd and mouse events into the ASCII byte stream onto a pty to emulate the old RS-232 convention to talk to the "line dscipline" part of the kernel's tty driver. But now, changing the size of a window is trivial; people do it all the time. They do it in the middle of vi sessions. They do it when they've ^Z'd out of vi and then expect vi to know the new size when they fg back into it. You can't just blast escape codes onto the line as whatever is reading stdin is likely not equipped to deal with it. At the very least, the in-band exchange has to be initiated by the 'computer' side of the pty. So, they added SIGWINCH and it was an out-of-band signal sent from the terminal emulator program through the pty (which, again, is a software abstraction in the os as opposed to an RS-232 line) to tell the other side of the pty that, when it has a chance, it should re-query the size of the terminal. It took a little while to nail down the semantics of the shell notifying backgrounded processes, but it got the job done. But it likely doesn't make a lick of sense to anyone that doesn't remember the good ol' days.

>Germany is a developed economy with a highly skilled population. It will eventually recover from its crisis.

The real purchasing power of the average German worker has been on a steady decline for the past 20-30 years with sharper declines in 2008 and 2022 while the US has only been surging up. When is this mythical recovery coming? Any day now?

>Ehh. No.
Europe is fine.

Burring your head in the sand to slow decline is not fine. It's just ignoring the problems hoping they go away but that's not how it works.

I think the distinction might come down to basting. If you definitely wouldn't baste the article, then you're baking it, if you do or might baste it, then you're roasting it.

Roast potatoes could easily be basted, baked potatoes definitely wouldn't be, basting bread seems absurd but basting a joint is obvious.

Regardless I think it should be obvious to all that a terminology that assigns the name "baked beef" to a joint done in a conventional oven is totally insane and nonsense.
Show HN: Askrepo – AI-Powered Code Understanding Tool

## Key Features:

- Analyzes entire Git repositories or specific paths

- Maintains full context of the codebase

- Provides accurate answers based on comprehensive code analysis

- Flexible usage for code understanding, bug detection, and more

## Why This Exists:

- Traditional chat services and tools like Cursor/Copilot Chat often provide fragmented information

- Need for better context understanding in large codebases

- Especially useful for OSS analysis and complex project exploration

Try it out: https://github.com/laiso/askrepo

## Questions for the Community:

1. Is there a real need for this tool?

- Uncertain about how many developers need code explanation features

- Personally found it valuable for OSS analysis

- Looking for feedback on use cases

2. Are there better alternatives?

- Open to solutions that make code comprehension easier

- Key requirements:

- Flexible code scope selection

- Better AI context understanding

- Current tools (Cursor/GitHub Copilot) fell short in these aspects

Would love to hear your thoughts on use cases and potential improvements!

The VO2Max seems wildly inaccurate. It never activates when I exercise, but sometimes activates when I'm sleeping.
Care to elaborate why you think this reading is so wrong? Vo2max has a significant genetic component, and it doesn't improve unless you actually push your anaerobic threshold, i.e. interval training and long distance running. It doesn't improve by "going on a 5 mile walk or whatever".
100%. Every semi-serious cyclists would be running a power meter first and foremost (heck even average joes these days because most modern high-end road bikes come with one already). Far easier to do a 20min/ramp test every so often instead of trying to focus on VO2 max.

the 8" floppies predate the 5.25 ones (i.e. the original size when invented by IBM). 5.25 and then 3.5 came later.

When I was growing up, we had an old Z-80 (I think?) cpm machine that had a tiny crt and 8" floppy drives. We then had a TI-99/4a that used 5.25" and then a panasonic 8086 pc compat also with 5.25" From there we moved to a 386 with both a 5.25 and 3.5 drive, but that was it for the 5.25s

I still have some of the games from the 5.25 era on their original disks, though last time I glanced at both ebay and archive sites, there wasn't much value to keeping them as readily available, but hard to toss that element of my childhood.
