There isn't. I'm 15% body fat, eat healthy (avoid saturated fats, prioritize fiber), exercise 5-6 times per week, and have hypercholesterolemia. I, along with my parents, have very high LDL and ApoB and nothing I can do about it in terms of diet, exercise, or weight.
I'm also not uncommon. They suspect as much of 30% of the population could be like this. There's a lot of ignorance in this thread.
There's a difference between always being hypercholesterolemia as a fit person and being obese and losing a bunch of weight when it comes to these conversations.
It's one f those things where some people's "I can't help it!" claims are true, but many are not. That doesn't invalidate the first category even though most people in the category are in the latter.
I think it's fair to say they had achieved product-market fit when their revenues were growing deep triple digits month over month. What we're seeing now is that perhaps they have achieved profitability or at the least a more sustainable balance sheet.
This was already known to be true by Heidi Howard’s research that yielded Flexible Paxos[0], Relaxed Paxos[1], and her more general thesis on Distributed consensus[2] as a whole
I don't think this is correct. Heidi's work made a different observation: That you can smear quorum intersection across phases of paxos, whereas the blog post in this submission is observing that you can do bog-standard quorum intersection in a way other than just thinking about majority intersection, via algebraic/geometric structures. I believe these are generally orthogonal observations.
(Heidi's work is both deeper and more practical; this post is just a really cute observation that there's something mathematically deeper underlying the idea of intersecting quora.)
The 70s, if you want to be pedantic (e.g. Gifford's "Weighted Voting for Replicated Data" or Thomas's "A Majority Consensus Approach to Concurrency Control for Multiple Copy Databases", both from '79).
People laugh at this, myself included in the past, but it works. I remember scoffing at AWS partnering with Deloitte and Accenture over a decade ago. My exact thoughts were "Our technology is great, why do we need these people to sell it?", and it turns out that selling to enterprises at scale is a lot more like an American high school experience than anything else.
This is what I ended up doing. A 2.5G switch for the few devices that can use it and a 1Gbit+PoE switch for all the other PoE and 1Gbit and less devices.
You should try it out. I'm incredibly impressed with Qwen 3.5 27B for systems programming work. I use Opus and Sonnet at work and Qwen 3.x at home for fun and barely notice a difference given that systems programming work needs careful guidance for any model currently. I don't try to one shot landing pages or whatever.
Wouldn’t Cursor agreeing to such a deal be almost ironclad proof they are subsidizing tokens/inference out the ass? There’s wide speculation all the large revenue growing companies right now are selling inference at break even or a loss.
