The average QB excels by using their brain, Mahomes being a prime example. He has the basic physical skills, but it's his decision making and fine motor skills that led to his excellence. This is the case of most QBs. The position does not demand physical excellence, and if he was totally ripped it would offer little advantage while coming with downsides.

Linebackers, in contrast, usually look like bodybuilders. They are the cliche athlete, having to use speed and strength to excel. Linesmen on both sides of the ball are usually heavy guys -- "fat" -- yet with massive strength. DBs are again low body fat and "ripped" by any common measure. The cliche "athlete".

So athletes cover the gamut, and it depends on what you do. A dart player is an athlete but clearly a dart player doesn't have the same physical requirements as a gymnast.

As an aside, it is amazing how low people's expectations of the human form have dropped. If someone posts a picture of a man with low body fat and any inkling of a form, many comments will be about steroids. Steroids are a shortcut, but even a small amount of effort and almost anyone can be top 1%. The bar is incredibly low, and it's bizarre when someone has a bit of biceps or isn't overweight and people need to comfort themselves by telling everyone that they're augmenting.
At this point, being a Musk supporter is nothing to be proud of.
This is a good business perspective, but I don’t really see why this couldn’t be someone’s open source passion project. The comment wasn’t really implying that they needed a paid tool, just a tool that suits their needs and is lightweight. Plenty of the software I use on a daily basis is open source software where you could argue that the economics shouldn’t have been there.
Tbh fosdem has long felt like an event that runs on autopilot because it mostly serves as a regular meeting point for the same cliques of people every year. They are not in a rush to change anything.

The fact that you can't catch talks unless you camp in the room is a consequence.

I don't think it's too big, just uncurated and not very accessible. Everyone is there to talk to their own circles.
This is no diss or slam, but if you are concerned about the inner workings of your mind working against you, I highly recommend some additional professional help to peel apart the onion a little bit more.
From the problems and use case you're describing, that's the first category: sysadmins who just need stuff to work so they can move on.
I hate articles like this because they state obvious things like "there isn't one optimal physique", then fat / lazy people take that as an oppritunity to denigrate their betters.
Half the time I come across that community online, it’s just love triangles between people with anime profile pictures, “rationalizing” atrocities, and comparing IQ test scores.
The scope of the scrubbing is broader that datasets. On /r/medicine they're reporting that some treatments guidelines for physicians (100 page+ PDF's) are disappearing, if they're adjacent to the topic of sex:

https://old.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/1iepzln/cdc_has_r... ("CDC has removed the pages with STI treatment and contraceptive guidelines (self.medicine)")
This just isn't true. The difference in the same person is visible immediately in the face and neck, even if they're wearing a parka. And in most places it's absolutely evident under normal clothing.
I think it's mostly that they're more difficult to persuade that their delusions aren't simply them being smarter than the normies around them. That trait isn't unique to high IQ people or unique or people whose choice of reading material and social scene is based around the idea of accessing advanced modes of reasoning, but it likely is more common amongst them
Fine - but that suggests this whole anti-tyranny never worked. All you had to say was the magic word ~abracadabra~ emergency and off you go.
The article is a pointless counter-critique of online stupidity. Athleticism can be easily calculated with numbers:

* Lowness of resting pulse rate

* VO2max level

* Speed to run 100m, 800m, 1600m, marathon, 100 miles, 1000 miles

* same with biking, swimming, and mountain climbing

* squat weight limit, deadlift weight limit

* total consecutive reps of sit-ups, 20lbs bicep curl, 40lbs

What’s interesting is the distance between male and female athletic performance, across the board, grows inversely to the duration of continuous effort. For a while the fastest 100 miler in the world, by a significant margin, was female around age 40.
baseball players and golfers have some of the most extreme fine motor control in sports

The tooling argument is contradicting itself: You need a big fat IDE to work with c#. Profiling is not even part of the default tooling, Microsoft tutorials want you to upload profiles to external flamegraph tools etc.
"This person posts lots of intelligent things"

If you're a bored web developer looking for a project that should take a day or less, here's an idea: AI-Turnoff. Simple static web page. List out today's software products that companies are desperately cramming AI into, and provide quick directions on how to turn the AI off.
Math LARPing is very accurate. I'm so sick of them talking about Bayes and "adjusting priors", because the way they use it is so loose that it can be used to justify literally anything.
In both of your transcripts it fails at solving it, am I failing to see something? Here’s my thought process:

1. The only option for who to take first is the goat.

2. We come back and get the cabbage.

3. We drop off the cabbage and take the goat back

4. We leave the goat and take the wolf to the cabbage

5. We go get the goat and we have all of them

Neither of the transcripts do that. In the first one the goat immediately eats the cabbage. In the second one the wolf eats the goat after you leave them.
Same way it understands chinese - except instead of having to both understand the language and a different character set, this is "merely" a transposition cipher.

I've seen a post similar to this on multiple HackerNews threads over the past few years. It's likely part of the training set now.
I'd argue that there's no way that Apple would want to offer access to something like that to any third party, and that it'd be better to start implementing it ourselves from scratch in any other operating system.
Why choose between abusing the browser or the terminal for application GUIs if you can do both at the same time?

'ThingDoer' is a naming convention from Go (I'm not a fan of the fact that we have to live with the Delphi-ism that is IMyThing but at least it's just one letter).

There is no requirement to define new interfaces except for a specific coding style in a team. It is best for most components to stay as plain and simple as possible, and for the module and component level testing to be applied with as little mocking as possible (because, most of the time, it is an anti-pattern imposed on us by what is sometimes named "London's school of testing" which is just bad practice and whoever perpetuates it should apologize).

Bodybuilders are optimizing for the judging criteria in a competitive sport, not for conventional attractiveness. If you step back and look at the sport objectively it seems a bit silly, but then you could say the same about most sports.
Your condescending and dismissive tone notwithstanding, I am curious to hear more about peaceful protests working when they weren't backed with an implicit threat of removing politicians from power.

Ideally, of course, you have a functioning democracy, but I don't really think that describes much of the US at this point (the people who'd protest are mostly in blue states anyway where their votes, even if correctly tabulated, count less). Other examples might be Ghandi, who promoted nonviolence but really only got India's freedom when the British empire was in terminal decline, or the civil rights movement, which happened when the US was a much healthier democracy and swaying public opinion was enough to remove people through elections. You might cite the velvet revolution too, but that also was targeting an empire in decline.

I argue that elections in the US _will not matter_ (Trump's cryptic comments about how Elon knows all about these voting machines and they won Pennsylvania thanks to him are telling....) and in that context protest doesn't do anything because the people in power have nothing to fear if they ignore the protestors.
Someone who competes in decathlon for a living, I suppose.
It’s literally the mechanics of the vote and how it encourages voting not for your favorite candidate, but the candidate most likely to win that isn’t the worst candidate for you.

I think it's an apples and oranges comparison to lump in Christianity (a religion that outright predicts that people will abuse it and protects itself against that) with liberalism/marxism (a philosophy that has no such protection and can be mangled into whatever you want). If anything, liberalism/marxism are more like secularized offspring of Christianity, given that they would probably never developed if it wasn't for their founding figures living in a western moral context completely drenched in Christian ideas.

I think this may lack a bit of context, so I'll try to fill in.

This is a demo that was just showcased live by the author as part of their talk at FOSDEM'25: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5496-brin...

The talk was centered on Ratatui (a TUI library in Rust, https://ratatui.rs/) now targeting terminals and web browsers with a shared approach. Video recording of the talk should appear online soon.
I hear people say this in various forms. No vote is still a vote kind of concept.

If anything it was the 1.6% of votes that went to other candidates that could be seen as a spoiler. You'd have to say that all of that 1.6% would have gone to Harris for it to have been a spoiler though, and I doubt that's the case.
TPL seems fine in documentation but I found it very hard to be used in real world scenario. Wiring evrything to single input-output or using dozens Join blocks to achieve data structure you want for some blocks was not pleasant.
Also finishing pipeline in the right time is also not that easy. Either blocks were not finishing at all or finishing too early.
I end up writing my own flow library that is much easier to use for simpler pipelines, yes not so versatile and does not allow spanning multiple inputs across multiple blocks, but at least it does what it supposed too.
Phones that come with low cost prepaid no contract plans, and are boxed to sell from a display rack in a department store, but can also be purchased online. “Burner” because you can set them up with no personal details- popular for criminals, teenagers, etc.

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would not use prepaid plans- I use visible for example, and it has full unlimited data on the Verizon network for $25/mo with an iphone that cost me under $200. It doesn’t seem in any way inferior to a high priced contract plan to me.
I think that's all pretty true. The last couple times I went, I mostly camped out in a few Devrooms that I was more interested in (for the most part) and it was a much more pleasant experience than trying to constantly hop from room to room. You can always watch the videos--although the reality is that most of us don't really get around to it in general.

> I often find myself saying, “I bet somebody got a really nice bonus for that feature.” “That feature” is something aggressively user-hostile, like forcing a shortcut into the Quick Launch bar or the Favorites menu, like automatically turning on a taskbar toolbar, like adding an icon to the notification area that conveys no useful information but merely adds to the clutter, or (my favorite) like adding an extra item to the desktop context menu that takes several seconds to initialize and gives the user the ability to change some obscure feature of their video card.

> The thing is, all of these bad features were probably justified by some manager somewhere because it’s the only way their feature would get noticed. They have to justify their salary by pushing all these stupid ideas in the user’s faces. “Hey, look at me! I’m so cool!” After all, when the boss asks, “So, what did you accomplish in the past six months,” a manager can’t say, “Um, a bunch of stuff you can’t see. It just works better.” They have to say, “Oh, check out this feature, and that icon, and this dialog box.” Even if it’s a stupid feature.

This bullshit has been with us since there have been desktop computers with notification areas.
The murders are very sad but the pseudo science here has some humor to it.

Like they take the fact that the brain really has two hemispheres, and make some wildly unscientific claim that this means each person has two beings within it that can be shut off at different times (one side may be good and the other bad, one side may be female and the other male).

I honestly don't see how anyone can into this stuff unless they are on drugs or malnourished.
The cult does seem to target people who identify as trans - OP has some discussion of this. Not sure if that justifies calling it a "radical vegan trans cult" though. Trans folks seem to be overrepresented in rationalist communities generally, at least on the West Coast - but there may be all sorts of valid reasons for that.
American Football is debatably the competitive sports league with the greatest athletes in the world and he is a top athlete in that league by results. How can you substantiate a claim that he is not one of the greatest athletes on the planet if not by results and the competition?

Also your comment about Ronaldo is basically that he can jump high and run fast which makes him one of the greatest athletes? I think he's an amazing athlete but not because of his vertical jump. There were 30+ kids at my high school with a higher vertical jump than him.

The article's point is that there is more to athleticism than run fast, jump high. They are right.

You just claimed your pronouns are unimportant, and because of that your non-answer to an honest question should be respected, then turned around and said you would indeed be offended if someone used the wrong one. Sure sounds like playing games to me.
> You need a big fat IDE to work with c#

This is completely false.

On a Mac:

brew install --cask visual-studio-code
brew install dotnet

+ install base C# extension.

That's all you need to get a language server, a debugger and the full SDK. It can rename symbols, step into implementations, apply standard refactorings, etc.

For profiling there are dotnet-trace, dotnet-metrics and various utilities to visualize the traces. You can even wire all that to pprof on Linux.

JetBrains tools are very nice but they are by no means a requirement.
True, depends on the room of course. Rust was crazily crowded last year but this year they had a much bigger room and it was OK.

This is hilariously common, but because SpaceX is involved, the media spotlight is centered on it.

(No other opinions implied or denied btw, just my observation)
I think they're pretty much ideologically opposed to serious research. They believe in pre-scientific "thinking from first principles", like Aristotle or something, using whatever data they can gather in a few minutes while avoiding any serious scholarship that would put the data in context, because then you're just an inside-the-box-thinking expert, rather than the freethinker with novel ideas that can only come when you don't know what you're talking about.

Ask HN: Doomsday Prep – But for Tech?
Imagine an even more extreme version of (geo)politics - where in let's say US Govt enforces all US companies to be barred from providing their services to many parts of the world, unless those nations agree to meet certain demands.

Imagine then US states revolt, and revolting states are also barred from consuming these services in some fashion.

For the world population or the affected US states: what are some ways to maintain your access to such services and data? Assuming this (hypothetically) entails events such as:
* Major hardware/software investments: Amazon/GCP.. DCs to be power-down, exports of hardwares (GPUs, Broadcom chips etc) to be halted
* Data access stopped immediately
* Useful commodities export halted: electronics, packaged food, farm-output
* ... all across the board

And assume each nation or state will continue to have:
* local manufacturing tech (e.g. phone or local pc fabrication plants)
* resources (e.g. electricity grid etc)
* infra (e.g. existing datacentres)

However, if we only focused on tech and data services such as:

* Github/Gitlab for hosting
* GCP/AWS/Azure
* Gmail/Outlook/iCloud
* Laptops, Monitors, HDDs, cables, routers, accessories etc (macbooks, surface, HPs, Dells)

What technology choices can one make today that enables minimal disruption at lowest incovenience and cost possible?

Considering that one obvious solution of using open-source systems self-hosted would be hindered by lack of access to repos like Github/Gitlab where they are housed.
Ugh, NFL players need to run on average about half of what a third tier soccer players do. At the extreme, a goalkeeper runs about the same as most running NFL player. For sprinting, the peak speed is similar, but soccer players run 2-3km of sprints during the game (1-1.5km for NFL). I'm not bringing NBA into this because it's just not a running sport altogether.

For explosiveness, top speeds of NFL and top 5 leagues in Europe are comparable, but more consistent for soccer players. They of course have to run with a ball next to their legs, rather than in hand, which makes it technically harder. For jumping, tall soccer players are closer to NBA players than to NFL (Tomori, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, etc, jump around 80cm).

In terms of agility, NFL and top 5 leagues is similar, about 3 seconds to 30km/h, but of course the best performing players in soccer are better.

So, with some similar parameters, soccer players do what NFL players do, but 3 times as long. That's the difference between "I can do this with a bit of a belly" and "I need to look like a god to even survive this game without getting a heart attack".

Edit: my point above wasn't that it's not physically difficult altogether, it was that these are not _elite_ sports in terms of physical requirement. Swimming, climbing, sprinting, soccer (mainly by the virtue of how professionalized it is), bicycle racing, that's physically super difficult. Basketball is super technical and relatively chill in physical requirements compared to these sports, and NFL is generally challenging but not nearly as much as the "top" sports, unless you specifically cherry-pick comparison to favor heavy, fast people. I chose rather versatile metrics that focus on input, e.g. how much you need to train to become fit enough.
Personally I can’t see how Brady is not a top athlete. It’s like judging a jazz musician on the skills needed in pop music or vice versa. You have to look at success within the genre or sport.

I think the author of that comment is not exactly fluent in English.
That seems like a pretty limited way to measure athleticism. No throwing? No jumping? No pull ups?

And at the elite levels of running, men have a pretty consistent speed advantage over women at all distances.
This is mostly because actually working on AI systems, rather than just blogging about some pie-in-the-sky assumptions of AI systems, is almost entirely outside of the skill set of Eliezer Yudkowsky and other LessWrong enthusiasts. They are remarkably ignorant on the topic apart from the small niche they carved out to bloviate upon.
I agree with you 100%, but in the interest of effective discourse it might make more sense to steelman the response. For one thing I have a hard time believing that the best government is one which does nothing, considering the extent to which our lives depend on an intricate web of supply chains, information networks, etc. that require coordination at a high level and may not be best handled by businesses seeking local profit maxima.

But perhaps they're advocating a return-to-the-Earth philosophy with every person (or family) aiming for self sufficiency in a frontier-style economy. I doubt it (when I try to point out that their truck requires a lot more gas than they can refine as a hobby I get pushback), but maybe.
