When people talk about immigrants in this context, I don't think they mean people from the US, but lower socioeconomic asylum-seekers and refugees etc. from the middle-east.

It definitely seems their economy was built on European labor, which I believe the vast majority of European countries were.

Yeah, this whole discussion is based on assuming human genetics. Every animal, without any resistance training, will develop an amount of muscle within some range. This can be massive, like for gorillas. Perhaps someday we will have gene editing that allows us to have the muscle building genes of gorillas, so we can all bench 1,000lbs with no training.

I wonder, do gorillas possess the mechanism for stimulating muscle growth via resistance training? How strong could one be with a dedicated training plan and coach?

But yes, if you never train close to failure you will not grow, not past beginner gains, unless you take steroids.

To increase your 1RM at the most optimal pace, yes you need to specifically train the movement so that you can benefit from improved technique and neurological adaptation. But if I do tricep, pec, and front delt isolation exercises at higher reps, to failure, and see significant hypertrophy in these muscles, my bench press will be stronger, other things constant.

EDIT: I was also able to connect to my solar panel gateway trivially from the CLI just a few days ago.

In addition, every seller of a good/service could do the same. They can't all increase prices to extract the full $xxxx a month. There are much more complex dynamics at play then just "landlords will raise rent enough to extract the full UBI benefit."

I think the more technologically literate a person is, the more wary they are of unfettered access to it for children. Hence, preferring a stationary desktop where use can be supervised.

In addition, the training process attempts to reproduce the copyrighted training data as perfectly as possible, with the intent to rent the resulting model out for commercial gain afterwards. Many argue that this is not fair use, but another instance of copyright infringement.

And if the previous infractions weren't enough, OpenAI's customers are now generating mass videos of copyrighted characters.

So, while it may be common corporate speak, it is still snake-tongued weasel-blather that downplays the illegality of their actions.

Zig is a lot safer than C by nature. It does not aim to be as safe as Rust by default. But the language is a lot simpler. It also has excellent cross-compiling, much faster compilation (which will improve drastically as incremental compilation is finished), and a better experience interfacing with/using C code.

So there are situations where one may prefer Zig, but if memory-safe performance is the most important thing, Rust is the better tool since that is what it was designed for.

In our busiest times we need to update up to 100,000 rows, ~50 columns, every ~5 seconds. So ideally the update finishes before the next one starts to avoid deadlocks.

MySQL probably isn't the most ideal DB for our use-case, but it's what the startup had been using for years before I joined.
