Getting more muscles leads to more strength (because the strength of the muscle is determined by the cross-sectional area).
But you can definitely be natually strong without having a lot of muscle.
And you can definitely get much stronger without getting much muscle.
In other words, any person with big pecs and triceps will be strong in bench (even without training). But strong bencher will not necessarily have big pecs/triceps to show.
That's the whole premise behind the popularity of the Anatoly gym pranks.
Strength as measured by mostly powerlifting is impacted by a huge factor by the body mechanics, i.e the length of the various body parts, secondarily by tendon attachments and then finally by variations in tissues
Thats the variation within the classes. And there will always be outliers, but even if you look at bodybuilders in 100+ kg, they are not what you’d call weak even if they don’t optimize for strength.
Seriously, while the Mozilla and Wikimedia foundations are burning cash on vanity products instead of reinvesting in their singular (1!) popular products, the bar for fiduciary responsibility is REALLY low.
At least Kagi already has multiple decently useful products (Kagi search, Assistant, Orion).
The minimum wage doesnt mean much in general, many European countries either dont have it or recently instated it (Germany). What matters is the Median and quintile salaries in which, the US fares much better anyways
Many other countries have official minimum wages and a big % of people working black, unreported because the minimum wage is to high relative to the average (Spain, Greece, Italy)
Qualcomm has bought plenty of companies that serviced small customers, and what happed is exactly what the person you’re replying to described. You can’t even get a quote many times.
What I expect short term is what happened to Eagle in the PCB space when Autodesk bought it (best thing that happened to kicad).
Longterm Arduino goes into the periphery of the maker market, similarly to beaglebone.
it's unrelated to the manufacturing of EVs. If any factory reaches a significant energy generation (usually this means from solar) it makes sense to look into a battery solution.
It just happens to be Mazda's manufacturing plant.
Wanting the latest and greatest was a thing back in 2010s, when there was a lot of progress and a lot of experiments by the phone manufacturers.
Today, me and most of my friends are pushing our phones as long as we can (4+ years). My parents hate when they have to change phones, because they then have to adjust to a new UI.
If battery and screen could be easily replaceable + security updates, many people would not be changing their phones for 5+ years.
One thing I (intuitively) don't doubt - that they spent less money for developing R1 than OpenAI spent on marketing, lobbying and management compensation.
I did not refer to the talent directly contributing to the technical progress.
P.S. - clarification: I mean not referring to talent at OpenAI.
And yes I have very little doubt talent at DeepSeek is a lot cheaper than the things I listed above for OpenAI.
I would be interested in a breakdown of the cost of OpenAI and seeing if even their technical talent costs more than the things I mentioned.
One example is that I've received offers to work in big tech in China at or exceeding my FAANG compensation here in the Bay Area. I have other reasons to believe as well but I can't talk about that in public.
Of course there are levels to this, variations within “weight classes”… but in general this holds true.
Also consistency trumps any program.
