This could depend a bit on what your goals are with respect to minimal dose training.

If your goals are just longevity and health, you do not actually have to train very close to failure to reap most benefits of strength training, up to a point of course. Training even to mild discomfort is enough for strength gains and modest hypertrophy for beginners. So effort can be moderate up to a point.

Additionally a trained lifter who is just looking to maintain on minimal doses can do so with what research has shown is as little as a staggering 1/9th of the volume they normally use, and they would likely be accustomed to hard training.

If your goal is continuing progress it's sort of an optimization problem when it comes to minimum effective dose.

I think it still counts because it makes sense as with any task. You must make the tradeoff that while you are minimizing time at the task, you must increase the effort to match if you still want to see gains past a basic level.
I mean the “wait” thing is obvious if you’ve ever asked an LLM to look at its own response and ask if it’s really sure about its answer.
My theory (as someone who's worked on a variety of open source projects, in various scenes) is that "moderately technical user" is the most problematic group to offer open source projects too. The heavily technical, software for software devs, side of things generally has you interfacing with people who have some experience with open source development, and the worst you'll run into are people who are aggressively trying to "help". On the opposite extreme, you've got stuff like VLC player, where a large chunk of the userbase aren't technically inclined enough to hunt down your feedback mechanisms.

The "power user" demographic simultaneously lacks the experience with OSS development to sympathize, and possesses the motivation/ability to hunt you down to reach out to you. Even worse if you end up stumbling into the realm of technically inclined children (Minecraft modding can only be done by completely blocking any form of player feedback).

You seemed to be being antagonistic towards the claims that were made. In any event I reiterated examples and provided clarification in my last reply.
I took this as "don't stress about things you can automate."

Yes, you need to care about this. But for the most part you should just follow the conventions of the language/framework, and not reinvent the wheel. Instead, you should put cycles into crafting architectures and algorithms.
Are you saying that US is the only country in the world where there are many jobs in academia?
I plugged my S23 into a computer to copy files from it and my iPhone-using co-worker looked at me like I was a wizard. There is such a major culture gap on how the different device families work, and so hard to understand the other family.
The only thing surprising to me is how people don't know this.

The propaganda machine must be real good.
And something like 100k retire every year, so I'd bet a lot of these folks are people who were about to retire anyway.

The thing I always have a problem with when it comes to diversity targets is that (from what I have seen) they base it on a representation of the total population. Is that really accurate? Let's say 50% of the population are men, and 50% of the population are women - do 50% of the women actually want to work in, say, construction? If not, why is the target 50%?

I will admit, I am not in HR and am not in charge of diversity hiring targets so maybe it is more nuanced than what I have seen. But everytime I hear these targes talked about, they always reference "as a percentage of the total population" which seems like a VERY dumb way to look at it.

And to be clear, I'm totally onboard with trying to create a more diverse workplace, I just think you do everyone involved a disservice if you go about it with a shotgun approach.
That's not great

I've been hosting web sites on my own bare metal in colo for more than 25 years. In all that time I've dealt with one DDoS that was big enough to bring everything down, and that was because of a specific person being pissed at another specific person. The attacker did jail time for DDoS activities.

Every other attempt at DDoS has been ineffective, has been form abuse and credential stuffing, has been generally amateurish enough to not take anything down.

I host (web, email, shells) lots of people including kids (young adults) who're learning about the Internet, about security, et cetera, who do dumb things like talk shit on irc. You'd think I'd've had more DDoS attacks than that rather famous one.

So when people assert with confidence that the Internet would fall over if companies like Cloudflare weren't there to "protect" them, I have to wonder how Cloudflare marketed so well that these people believe this BS with no experience. Sure, it could be something else, like someone running Wordpress with a default admin URL left open who makes a huge deal about how they're getting "hacked", but that wouldn't explain all the Cloudflare apologists.

Cloudflare wants to be a monopoly. They've shown they have no care in the world for marginalized people, whether they're people who don't live in a western country or people who simply prefer to not run mainstream OSes and browsers. They protect scammers because they make money from scammers. So why would people want to use them? That's a very good question.
Twitter was already on the way out but I hardly go on it more than every three or four days anymore.
I overall agree. The one thing I will say is that what you call code organization (anything pre-compilation) also includes structuring the code to improve maintainability, extensibility, and testability. I would therefore disagree that code organization is only basic hygiene, not part of design, and not a large part of the “craft” (use of that word is something I’ve changed my opinion on—while it feels good to think of it that way, it leads to exactly the thing we’re discussing; putting too much emphasis on unimportant things).

Code style though, I do agree isn’t worth stressing about. I do think you may as well decide on a linter/style, just so it’s decided and you can give it minimal energy moving forward.
Like when my googling solutions to a niche data integration interaction between two tools resulted in a first page result for one of my coworker's linkedin posts asking if anyone in her network knew the answer... The internet is shallow sometimes.
What's going on today with doge is what exactly? They're accessing payment systems, as advertised openly in a democratic election. You want analogies of a scrutinizing funding and then viciously calling for its retraction? Because pretty much all colors and creeds have done that.

That's kind of the point. If you were a LLM, the 學 and 說 would get most attention, the rest of characters is trivial and you don't need precisly recall the "sound" representation. You can even swap the order like

習學識知後，常常習溫它，不很也樂快嗎？

> The problem is that DEI in practice tends to be the other kind of stuff

And what does the political opposite of those initiatives look like in practice?

What does it look like in practice when you don't stop and wonder why women make up 20% of your qualified candidate pool, but only 7% of your workforce? (As another poster observed.)

Do you just shrug your shoulders, assume that your perfectly meritocratic (By whose definition?) system is free of any form of systemic or personal bias, and move on, without wondering why?
I was astounded by how iffy my ability to even ABX tracks at 96 kbps in Opus was. I can't imagine needing anything else for music listening, although obviously I keep FLAC copies around as backups.

That's both a misleading headline and a really odd unit of measurement. So odd that I wouldn't be surprised if the US adopted it as the official unit of measurement of microplastics (I kid, as an American).
> I don’t think DEI itself provides the grounds... it being used as cover by a small number of activists to engage in discrimination of their own.

That's exactly what providing the grounds means. It's like how the no-fly list provides a convenient way to trap your estranged wife outside the country. You can do a whole lot of racism, call it a DEI initiative and use the right terminology, and no-one bats an eye.
Any connection to Finnish "kissa" 'cat'?

(apparently from an onomatopoeia for calling a cat)
I think with backwards compatibility there is less need to slow roll it intentionally. There’s a great back catalog.
This works if your demand is small enough. In the case of the FAA they are hiring thousands of ATCs.

The fundamental issue is that due to upstream inequalities (e.g. worse schools) there are downstream inequalities you can’t smooth out. There are literally fewer black people who know how to read or have graduated high school. So the correct solution is to concentrate resources upstream.

I think Facebook had the same thoughts at some point and they invested heavily in web tech. Later when that backfired (because of performance issues) they started the React Native project.
That ignores the point of the story and what I was responding to.

If there is only 1 company to negotiate with, the government is really the only entity that can threaten to simply create a competitor and give them the IP rights (by legal fiat) to do so. If you tell the existing company that your alternative solution is to compete with them using taxpayer money, they might choose to take the lesson of history and accept the government's negotiating position.

Part of two groups will leave, the actual skilled, hardworking people who know they can get another job. And the people who are retiring anyways.

Part of me thinks that just ends up with a higher percentage of worse workers.

Obviously many hard working people will stay, but you'd be pretty certain the people will little skill and value, ironically, are going to be the highest percentage that stay as they know its not going to be easy to get another job.
Okay, but... HOW do you enable more black people to pass the test?

Eh I wouldn't have known a friend died if I didn't occasionally log into FB.

I wouldn't have known that my best friend from middle school lost her house.

I wouldn't have known that a family member was pregnant.

But yeah, I feel like news stuff is better curated elsewhere, because outrage keeps eyeballs viewing, so algorithmic feeds tend to highlight it.
"OpenAI asserts that training AI models using publicly accessible content, including material from The New York Times, is protected under longstanding fair use principles."

Incredible.

The foundation of fair use is a transformative and non-consumptive use of copyrighted material.

See California public universities still practicing affirmative action despite it being made illegal decades ago for a good example of this
This is a classic. I like how there are some algorithms that are really elegant and seem fundamental, in a similar way to how arithmetic, basic algebra, FTA, and related seem fundamental. I think this is one. Also the LZ algorithm that iteratively builds up a dictionary of frequent patterns, and converges on the information theoretic limit.
The "bad guy" invented by the right isn't real. The "bad guy" of the left is real. There is no "radical-left shadow government" but there is clearly a radical-right shadow government forming and acting as we watch.

As I understand it, they took a small sample of brain tissue, extracted the plastic, and then extrapolated that (based on the tissue sample size) over the whole of the brain.

This assumes the presence of plastic is evenly distributed throughout the brain, which isn't necessarily the case.

> Have they did a bcrypt(password + userId + username), it won't be so bad. Order of entropy is important.

That depends on how exactly it was used. If it was simply used to check if previous authentication was successful (without the value containing information who it was successful for) then single long password could be used to authenticate as anyone.
MP3’s have been supported by Apple’s devices since the first iPod came out in 2001. The headache is that there is no way to transfer files to add to your Music library locally except from your computer like it was still 2001.

Yes, I’m aware of the work around using GarageBand for iOS.
That decision applies to a very specific item: congressional appropriated federal support to states. Which is probably the strongest case for an impoundment argument.

> For example, it would be fairer if the years I worked for no income created tax-deductible losses against future income.

Hard to avoid cheaters.

A policy could be that the government could pay for 2 years of current salary and you only get one chance per person -- however I can't imagine how the government could get that into the budget.

The policy I implied is be to reward winners with a tax break to offset their risk. Difficult to sell to any voters that don't understand risk/reward or voters that believe business owners are greedy worthless bâtards.

Ha: if the business fails you lose money (the wages you didn't receive), and if the business wins you are taxed: "Privatise the losses, socialise the gains" ;)
At that point a Democrat could vote yes to ensure those demands are not met, if that is determined to be the best of bad choices.
I sometimes wonder if the name "ogg vorbis" hampered its uptake. MP3 is admittedly a pretty jargony name too but isn't otherwise "weird", compared to Ogg Vorbis is just Klingon-esque.
This aligns with my experience with a couple of DEI (or similar) programs at large tech as well. Coupled with really basic training that amounted to "Unconscious bias exists and it can happen to you, make sure you judge candidates by their performance and nothing else", which always seemed pretty reasonable to me.
Great idea, I wasn’t even aware and got resigned to the idea tracing is inescapable, but I really need to take that back, even stop using a lot of hostile services. On smartphones it’s even worse.
ok, I hate ‘enshittification’ / platform decay.

How do we stop this? Lets brainstorm ways that we can push back against this.

What are some examples of things that are NOT becoming prone to ‘enshittification’ / platform decay.

Then we can build and have platforms that stop this from happening, I would love to hear solutions.

The US has spent the last 35 structuring its economy under neoliberalism. Some people (rust belt) are worse off. Some are much better off, especially since they didn’t have to compensate the people who whose jobs were sold overseas for pennies on the dollar.
I enjoy being able to use vintage computers and vintage portables too.
DEI programs discriminate significantly against Asians, just like college admissions. If these programs didn’t exist, the proportion of Asian employees would be even higher than it is currently, simply based on merit.
I understand for Audiobooks, but why use anything outside of FLAC for music CDs in 2025? Honest question, not trying to stop you from doing what you're doing.

I also still rip audio CDs, but I don't compress with anything that isn't lossless. Hard drive space is super cheap nowadays, and FLAC is even supported natively in my browser.
Don't think so. Does cgnat use private IP space? I'm not familiar with how it works.

It should be considered a distinct field. At some level there is overlap (information theory, Kolmogorov complexity, etc.), but prompt optimization and model distillation is far removed from computability, formal language theory, etc. The analytical methods, the techniques to create new architectures, etc. are very different beasts.
Hahaha I did think of that. Unfortunately as much as it helps, it won’t give you gains.
Large hard drives and fast internet do not render obsolete the principle of frequency domain compression. MP3 and JPG will probably remain in service for a very long time.

But of course, if people weren't habituated to this bogus conception of obsolescence, how on earth would Microsoft manage to sell them a word processor for $179.00?
In some ways, it's the point OC makes — that it's subjective. It's a culture problem.

In our profession, our conventional approach to resolve these kinds of differences is to reduce them to a specific set of conditionally applied rules that everyone _has_ to agree on. Differences in opinions are treated as based on top of a more fundamental set of values that _have_ to be universal, modular, and distinct. Why do we do this? Because that's how we culturally approach problem-solving.

Most industries at large train and groom people to absorb structured value systems whose primary function is to promote productivity (as in, delivery of results). That value system, however, ultimately benefits capital most, not necessarily knowledge or completeness.

Roles and positions ultimately encompass and package a set of values and expectations. So, we are left with a small group of people who practiced valuing few other aspects but feel isolated and burdened with having to voluntarily take on additional work (because they really care about it), and others unnecessarily pressured to mass-adopt values and also burdened taking on what feels like additional work that only a small group of people like to care about.

In the cultural discourse, we are trying to fix minimum thresholds of some values and value systems and, correspondingly, their expectations. That is never going to be possible. In and of itself, that can be a valid ask. However, time and resources are limited, and values are a continuum. Fixing one requires compromising on another. This is where we are as a professional culture and community in the larger society today.

The Tech industry refuses to break down the role of a "software engineer/developer" further than what it is today and, consequently, refuses to further break down more complex/ambiguous values and value systems into simpler ones, thus reducing the compromises encompassed in and perceived by different sub-groups and increasing overall satisfaction of developers in the industry. Instead, we've expanded on what software developers should be responsible for, which has caused more and more people to burn out trying to meet a broader set of expectations and a diminished set of value systems with more compromises to accommodate that.

Ideally, we need an industry and a professional culture that allows for and respects niche values and acknowledges the necessity of more niche roles to focus on different parts of the larger craft of software development.

PS. As a side note, the phrasing of it in the article is unfair, which OC is pointing out too — there is a false equivalency drawn between "caring for the craft" and "stressing over minutia." This causes, in this context of having a discourse around the article, those who value and want to talk about the value of caring for the craft to be viewed and perceived as the insane weirdos who stress over the minutia that the author was referring to.
That's a morally questionable action—it might encourage some businesses to stay on Windows 98 even longer. And if that weren't bad enough already, the employees would also have to use Teams!
