Totally agree with your personal experience.

I'm able to do a few more reps and recover a bit faster between sets and from one session to the next. That will definitely have a positive impact on muscle mass in the medium/long term.
If Tesla was production constrained, this would be significant. ~3 weeks less production in a quarter is a lot.

However, Tesla is not production constrained. There is essentially no delivery backlog for the new Model Y; essentially everybody that wanted one got one. Being able to make more cars in the quarter wouldn't have significantly affected deliveries.

Such swaps happen all the time in construction. We call them "change orders" or "remodeling" depending on when in the building lifecycle they happen. In software we have not be good about figuring out which change orders are expensive.

I've been in construction, most of them are actually really cheap because the common/likely change orders are built in - want to add a fireplace: until the drywall is installed the cost doesn't change. Want to make a doorway bigger, no problem, it will cost you $20 + the bigger door. Want to switch the tub for a shower after the pumping is roughed in - $50 to move the drain and water pipes, but once the tub is installed you need to pay for the tub you don't use as well (it has to be broken to get it out). As you say moving the bathroom to a different location will be costly.

This is correct.
There are two main biological activities involving creatine,
a combination of amino acids:
1. it facilitates recycling of ADP back to ATP, obviously more ATP means more energy, meaning ability to do more reps
2. it acts as a pH buffer, countering the fatigue effects of lactic acid buildup.

So no,
taking creatine without doing the work probably won't make a difference
(except to your wallet),
but use in conjunction with consistent and effective exercise,
the effect is real.

One thing though: don't bother with the creatine loading phase, it's a marketing scheme to sell more product.
Yes, but becomes uninteresting really quickly.
I do not understand why would anyone believe that creatine can influence muscle gains.

Muscle gains require an adequate protein intake, but creatine has no relationship with that.

Creatine, as phosphocreatine, provides energy storage for short-time anaerobic effort. After the available phosphocreatine is exhausted, only a lower power can be sustained, at the level that can be supported by the conversion of glucose into lactic acid. For even longer times, the power that can be sustained must drop to the level supported by aerobic metabolism.

It is known that the daily capacity of creatine synthesis in humans is usually limited to less than the optimal requirement for intense exercise, so some creatine must be provided by food, for the best results.

I take a little creatine, because I eat vegan food, which does not contain creatine. For someone who eats meat, it is very unlikely that a creatine supplement can be useful, because meat should contain enough additional creatine, besides the creatine that is synthesized internally.

However, I am grateful to the sport fans who may have taken creatine without any good reasons, because that has ensured the widespread availability at modest prices of creatine supplements, which are useful for vegans like myself.

I agree with another poster, who says that while creatine cannot have a direct effect on muscle gains, it can have an indirect effect on someone who trains regularly, by allowing more exercise repetitions, which may stimulate muscle gains.

Obviously, such an indirect effect is conditioned by actually training regularly and really doing more intense trainings than when not taking the supplement.
In another comment, you say photos are required. I would claim that the cooking book scene is the publisher interest in the limited shelf space for photo-heavy cookbooks. Celebrity and TV chefs thoroughly represented.

Books without photos (McGee, Hewitt, Potter, Julia Child) are not interesting to publishers.

> Apparently healthy individuals (18 to 50 years), with a body mass index of ≤30 kg/m2 and *not meeting current physical activity guidelines* of at least 150 min of moderate-intensity exercise were included.

I'm curious what the same study would say about athletes of various disciplines. It makes sense to me that creatine does not make a difference for these folks.
Oh wow! Yes, those are much better quality than can be seen in the Riven release. I wonder if it's possible to mod them into the Riven rerelease!

I know nothing about this, but in the article they mention that their trial was for 5g a day, but I see you mention 5mg - was that a typo? It's interesting either way - not meant as a jab.
Participants were instructed to maintain their current
dietary habits and physical activity levels for the
duration of the study.

My understanding is that creatine increases the amount of available energy for muscles to use (hence increases sports performance, training performance, and recovery) - not increase muscle growth alone. That said - it is an interesting study which helps decompose the effect, this shows that creatine likely provides no other additional benefits.
Every little action helps in the long run. But Foss hardware is complicated and complex. Not a fully solved problem. But openness for all aspects and in all steps is a minimum. But hard to accomplish.
Great point, this maps to my experience. Almost every "fix this existing code" problem posed to LLMs is a failure. The approach of simply spitting out the next probable token doesn't work if any complexity or design aesthetics is involved. We wouldn't trust a human that approached problems by stream of consciousness either.

But vibe coding does work reasonably well for solo greenfield/demo projects. When there is no external complexity, no inferred requirements, no consequences to getting it wrong, nothing to integrate with, nobody to collaborate with ... just you and a blank editor - vibe coding works.

While it can be nice living in a little self-contained fantasy world, on existing projects you'll find absolutely none of the same conditions. And a whole slew of other engineering challenges that aren't solved by throwing generated code at it. As the value of code trends to zero, the value of those other engineering skills increases.
I am excited. Switch's graphics was OK, I dont need the constant Unreal 5 shinny lightning PS5 Pro crazy graphics. But I often wish Switch GFX was just a little bit better. Now Switch 2, still no official SoC Spec yet but according to rumours it should be enough for 4K plus a little bit better texture.

Edit: $449 was higher than what I expected of $399. Especially with the hardware involves. PS5 and Xbox are selling hardware at loss, Nintendo has to be making profits on these.
Tenure of two decades has little to do with these stories having low signal. These news stories are everywhere, the comments have low to no value and the article itself has no nuance or insight.
> All models are automatically imported in the shell by default.

This is a huge usability improvement! We end up having to install shell plus in the dev environment on every project I've worked on, and it's not always available to us in production environments for debugging. Having models import automatically will be a big help.
I see Bazzite recommended more than Arch these days, but Arch is confusingly a very popular choice.

I wonder if Arch being the basis for SteamOS is responsible.
I have seen and enjoyed quite a few Val Kilmer movies, but his special appearance in 'Top Gun:Maverick' was heartwarming (the scene where he jovially asks Maverick, "who was the better pilot between the two of us").

Tombstone and Saint were such nice movies too. Underrated, with a distinct comedic touch. A talent gone before his time.
Just from the title, I suspected that Steam Locomotive had something to do with it. So I quickly glanced through the article up to the point where the locomotive shows up. Sometimes there's the idea hanging in my mind to make a version called Slow Locomotive, where the train slows down every time you press ctrl-c.
Firstly a strong desire to self-host: write the build system in the language itself.

Secondly, often very differently shaped requirements. The dotnet SDK tries to keep its build specification (.csproj) files editable by Visual Studio, which is why most of the stuff in them is just XML properties.

You probably could build C#/F# with Bazel but that's not what Microsoft chose, and you kind of need to stay aligned with them and the large amount of MSBuild files in the SDK.
That’s a reassuring thing to hear as a new clojure learner who has little interest in java.

What bits of java have you ended up needing? Like do you often use java libraries that don’t have clojure wrappers?

I feel like I’m often running up against little things. I’ll google “how to do xyz in clojure” and the top SO answer is to use a java library that apparently everybody already knows about, cause so many clojurists came from java first!
I support their anecdote. Any "supplements" that have significant effects are highly regulated and somewhat risky. Worrying about things that will make a 1-2% difference isn't worth the time, just workout one more rep.

Most software is NOT first time! You have competition doing it as well. One website is just like another - sure there are lots of differences, but they are as alike as any two houses with different blueprints are the same. Most software is updates to the existing software of a similar type to last years update. Even ground up software is typically a rewrite of your existing software.

Theater – a proposed runtime for LLM written code
LLMs present incredible opportunities for software, but they also present significant challenges. It is realistic to assume that in the very near future significantly more software will be written, and much of it may have never seen human review. Because of this, many of the assumptions we have made in building the software ecosystem are no longer valid.

Traditional software distribution and running systems put a significant amount of trust on the programmer. Theater is attempting to build guarantees into the structure of the software system that hosts client applications. First, it uses WebAssembly Components to provide sandboxing and determinism. Then, we use the actor model with an erlang-style supervision system to provide isolation and fault-tolerance. Finally, for each of the actors that run in the system, we completely track any information that enters or leaves the wasm sandbox. If something in the system goes wrong, we should be able to trace it back through each actor, fixing whatever is needed along the way.
The 2006-engine version of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 runs on Windows 10/11 with no configuration [1], outside of getting Steam to download it. I recall installing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on a Windows 11 machine, which just needed Directx 9c to run.

Everything else aside, even if Tesla had the best & cheapest EVs, and the people behind it weren't politically abhorrent, I still wouldn't buy one because everything I've heard about their service has been terrible. People are waiting for months to get a part delivered and their car serviced.
I'm not sure this is what is currently affecting them the most, the article mentions this:

> Since AI crawlers tend to bulk read pages, they access obscure pages that have to be served from the core data center.

So it doesn't seem to be driven by "Search the web for keywords, follow links, slurp content" but trying to read a bulk of pages all together, then move on to another set of bulk pages, suggesting mass-ingestion, not just acting as a user-agent for an actual user.

But maybe I'm reading too much into the specifics of the article, I don't have any particular internal insights to the problem they're facing I'll confess.

Note that Rivian deliveries (numbers came out today also) fell much more, percentagewise. Also worth pondering the scale.

Either you're not relying as much on the AI as you think you are, or you're not really sure what "production quality" means.

It seems like you should know, so I'm going to bet that you're not entirely letting the AI drive.

Having the AI draft some code which you refine is a fine workflow. I didn't think it was before, but i've come around on that. I think it's also nice to have an LLM do a onceover to point out areas where I may have missed catching an error (like with JSON.parse in javascript or something.)

It's just not my cup of tea, personally. I've found that I'm faster writing code myself and treating an LLM as an assistant or rubber duck, but to each their own.

I'm referring to wholly AI generated code with no human input besides a prompt or "vibe coding." You literally can't put enough context into a prompt to have it write the exact code you'd need in every case. Your prompt would end up just being code at that point.

That's the whole point of writing code. Precise and exact instructions for a machine. You're not going to get that by adding a statistical natural language layer in the mix.

More generally: this is what happens when someone in power gets so arrogant they totally lose sight about what they can and can't do, and what the consequences of their actions will be.

I'm reminded of this (about Musk), which is probably the root cause of his arrogance: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/opinion/ezra-klein-podcas...:

And they are minions — they’re all lesser than he is in some fashion, and they all look up to him. They’re typically younger. They laugh at his jokes. Sometimes when he apologizes for a joke, which is not very often, he’ll say that the people around him thought it was funny.

Software probably isn't the ticket to life changing riches it once was, but it's still a good enough career with good working conditions regular demand and broad appeal. Importantly I feel that general software dev is just levelling out around the career options for other similarly educated career tracks. Why we expected this track to always be a millionaire maker is beyond me.

I think Denver's status as a hub for IT, Telco, Aviation/Aerospace may skew things a bit, but the town is _lousy_ with Tesla products. Cybertruck included.

And I think this period of time is going to be underscored by the guilt of good products helmed by questionable people. Musk, J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, all have either produced or led thousands of people to produce good things. And then they got rich enough to let their filter drop? I dunno how to exactly phrase it.
Listen up, because this needs to be crystal clear: there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with revoking someone’s platform when they violate terms and conditions that are no stricter than the rules you’d set for your own kids.

On the flip side, there is something profoundly, undeniably wrong — practically evil — when a government detains peaceful people not for breaking laws but for virally posting about their wish for an immediate cease-fire in the midst of violent conflict. Which is the exact inverse of having sensible limits.

You can rattle off half-baked “maybe” and “perhaps” scenarios all day long and keep twisting definitions beyond recognition. You can continue to argue that governmental abuse of power is an inevitable consequence simply because the world contains some ugly, petty sociopaths that will hold grudges until they die. But by that logic there shouldn't be norms, limits, rules, terms, conditions or laws at all, because it will only inconvenience sociopaths on their rise to power and they'll eventually come after you.

Welcome to the paradox of tolerance. We need rules because it keeps our imperfect society civil.

>What I’m saying is that we don’t know that consciousness is just an algorithm.

I caught that, I think(?). I would flag that the upshot or implication can be (1) something outside of physics altogether which I think, while romantic, is at the extreme end of extreme in terms of tenuous and inviting bad metaphysics, bad notions of emergentism etc, but there's also (2) something about the difference between how something is "embodied" which, as you note, still is about billiard ball style simulation at the end of the day, but can raise interesting questions about what kinds of simulations work.

I also do wonder of there's some kind of physicalist essentialism working its way in there. If there's something different about electrons that's importantly different, something about it (hopefully) is a physical property and as such able to be modeled. If consciousness is intrinsically and preferentially tied to a certain kind of matter, e.g. atoms, or brain-stuff, that starts to sound a little woo-ey.

The graph you linked seems to be about article viewing ("page views", like a GET request to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy for example), while the article mentions multimedia content, so fetching the actual bytes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy#/media/File:Economis... for example, which would consume more content than just loading article pages, as far as I understand.
From the description, you can reapply transactions. How the system handles it (how much of it is up to the application, how much is handled in graft) I have no idea.
