this wasn't a study of absolute growth (sure - newbie gains), but rather the difference between high and low load programming within individuals.

> the difference between high and low load programming within [newbies]

Fixed that.

As the comment you replied to noted, newbie gains are remarkably sensitive to any stimulation, and insensitive to the type of stimulation. Because going from zero to any resistance training is a massive stimulus increase, on a long-term under stimulated system.

The study does confirm that. The data it produces is useful.

What this study doesn't do, is help newbies (or anyone) choose the most effective practices to adopt. Because 10 weeks is way too short to identify best practices for any sustained program.

that's fair but the post was on page 3 for a while. glad to see it restored to the front page. (the charitable explanation is that non-moderators can flag stories, as opposed to an official policy to protect YC companies)

Maybe the algorithm down-ranks posts that have lots of down-voted comments? Lots of light-grey text on this page.

To dissipate the energy of a M9 (which happens about once per decade) you'd need about 32,000 quakes of M6 (still big enough to collapse buildings).

Energy scales as 10^(1.5 × ΔM)

ΔM = 9.0 − 6.0 = 3.0

10^(1.5 × 3) = 10^4.5 ≈ 31,600

Same with "See prompt in Google AI Studio" which links to an unpublished prompt in AI Studio.

What’s new here? I believe this is just gemini 3 which was released last month (the model id hasn’t changed AFAICT)

Nothing new, it's just highlighting practical vision use cases.

We don’t really know whether that’s true, since it’s hard to prove a negative (i.e., suppliers aren’t colluding). But given their history of price fixing it may be worth looking into.

Parent is likely thinking of sparse attention which allows a significantly longer context to fit in memory

My comment was harsher than it needed to be and I'm sorry, I think I should have gotten my point across in a better way.

With that out of the way, parent was wondering why compaction is necessary arguing that "context window is not some physical barrier but rather the attention just getting saturated". We're trying to explain that 3+2=2+3 and you people are sitting in the back going "well, actually, not all groups are abelian".

To save others the trouble, it doesn't matter whether you use Chrome or Safari for the auth flow. It's broken on both. (I'm using a personal @gmail account.)
