Tidbits from Wiki explaining this from another angle. It seems like slow fibers burn fat better than fast fibers, which makes sense.

"The action of the calf muscles, including the soleus, is plantarflexion of the foot (that is, they increase the angle between the foot and the leg). They are powerful muscles and are vital in walking, running, and keeping balance. The soleus specifically plays an important role in maintaining standing posture; if not for its constant pull, the body would fall forward.

Also, in upright posture, the soleus is responsible for pumping venous blood back into the heart from the periphery, and is often called the skeletal-muscle pump, peripheral heart or the sural (tricipital) pump.

Soleus muscles have a higher proportion of slow muscle fibers than many other muscles. In some animals, such as the guinea pig and cat, soleus consists of 100% slow muscle fibers. Human soleus fiber composition is quite variable, containing between 60 and 100% slow fibers.

The soleus is the most effective muscle for plantarflexion in a bent knee position (Hence called the first gear muscle). This is because the gastrocnemius originates on the femur, so bending the leg limits its effective tension. During regular movement (i.e., walking) the soleus is the primary muscle utilized for plantarflexion due to the slowtwitch fibers resisting fatigue."

> ’Maybe it's a "demo"?’

There’s a long-standing tradition of people creating realtime graphics software on personal computers that doesn’t offer any interactivity. They are indeed called demos and the community is called the demoscene. It goes back to the late 1980s and had a golden era in the mid-90s on Amiga and PC. (Pre-Internet, watching and making demos was one of the few socially and creatively oriented things you could do for free on a home computer.)

To be pedantic, this isn’t a full-blown demo. Small demos are called intros, and a category of them is the size-constrained intro (e.g. 1kB or 4kB). So this could be either a small intro or an effect as part of a bigger demo.

It’s worth looking up some of the small intros. People can squeeze entire GPU-raytraced universes with music into a few kilobytes.
I'd even argue that the only reason it currently is hard to do it in many parts of the world is just because people believe it's impossible. You need general population support to make changes.

Moving around data is indeed a major issue for any throughout oriented device. But for a gaming GPU, PCIe BW has never been an issue in any of the benchmarks that I’ve seen. (Those benchmarks artificially reduce the number of PCIe lanes.)

In fact, the 4000 series still has PCIe 4.

Moving data around for a GPU is about feeding the shader cores by the memory system. PCIe is way too slow to make that happen. That’s why a GPU has gigabytes of local RAM.

I completely agree with your point here. The extreme pathological case is when you see things like this

BTW, this was a brownfield use case for bringing VPC networking into an existing physical network without requiring major changes.

We have solution for Equinix Metal, where we consume Equinix API, and underlying pluming happens automatically. + we have a greenfield solution when we operate underlying leaf-spine fabric end-to-end.

Happy to dive/discuss further. Love networking!
Good enough is good enough. Just like faster computers don’t make new apps any faster (even at the peak of scaling decades ago), they make sure we can write more complex apps without making them too slow, or equivalently, add more things to apps and sites if there is any performance headroom left.
I was wondering about that. According to Nvidia RTX 4090 product page, it still used PCIe 4.
> So the most habitable planet would have roughly twice the mass of Earth and be between 20 to 30 percent larger by volume.

So, ~60% denser than Earth? Density is mass/volume, and 2x / 1.25x = 1.6x.

The math works out really well if they meant a 20-30% larger radius: 1.25*3 = 1.95, so similar density but larger volume.

On topic of this particular subthread: This is how my country (I'm Czech) handled the Nazis and Soviets.

You rediscovered how people respond to a totalitarian regime that's beyond their powers to dislodge: they comply ostensibly, but the compliance is only a show "for the authorities", a circus, and everybody knows (except perhaps your "single digit percentage").

Reinhard Heydrich, the Reich's installed "protector" of Bohemia and Moravia, was so frustrated by this attitude he reportedly called Czech's "the smiling beasts", unable to break them. We eventually assassinated him.

Anyway, I just wanted to say your comment and its implications doesn't read as you probably intended it to read.

The question is - can this actually explain the code which really needs explanation - or can it only explain code that should be easy and straight forward to read anyway?

And does having this reduce the amount of discomfort badly readable code creates, and thus make you less inclined to take care the code is and stays easily readable?
The jump-straight-to-suing approach is to be honest a bit specific to the US. In the UK (like here) it’s more usual to deal with these sorts of things with a kind word, combined with hints of potential problems later.

Careful now. "Right" and "left" are over-simplified labels covering a very broad range of preferences, and sometimes used as badges of self-identity in order to make arbitrary ideologies more palatable to the general public. For example, the actual literal Nazi party's name translates as "nationalist socialist", even though they hated communism so much that communists were one of the groups sent to the death camps, and they chose this name because socialism was a vote-winner in Weimar-era Germany.

I frequently still have dreams of it being discovered that I missed a portion of high school aha I am required to go back to finish.

I also spent about a decade in the U.S. Air Force, and even though I’ve been out 15 years now I still dream that I’ve forgotten my uniform hat, and separately that I get called back in and am fearful because I still have only the previous generation of uniform style, which was phased out years ago.
This is indeed very curious!

I don’t think it’s obvious. European culture has been dominated for 2000 years by the teachings of Jesus, who said: “Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.”

The idea that rulers should serve their people is not unique to any civilization.

But my question is actually about the Apache Software Foundation: why would they be invested in long-standing values of Chinese civilization?

DALL-E 2 feels like it has higher quality output, but it's narrowed towards a certain kind of output.

For example, a "bone axe" will just be a regular axe, with no attempt at making it bone. Midjourney understands that context, but it's still a little dumb with words and sometimes makes an axe with a bone.

Seeing GPT-3, it's probably smart enough to figure out really complex phrases. It just doesn't.

I think OpenAI has been biasing heavily for safety, targeting G rating, no deepfakes, no horror. Midjourney doesn't mind a little horror or nudity, but will avoid porn and furry stuff.

> Actually, people who ate real food 150 years ago had teeth that were massively worn down.

I recall reading that cavefolk apparently had great teeth before agriculture was invented... stone-milling grains such as wheat into flour also introduces stone particles into it, and eating breads and other foods that include the flour will gradually degrade your teeth.

Modern steel-milled flours do not have this issue, but apparently the heat generated from the friction partially cooks the grain and reduces the nutritional content.

I guess since I never worried about any of that crap in school, I’m not haunted by it.

So are whistleblowers like Deep Throat ate people you believe shouldn't have right to report and publish material?

> When I think of free speech the context is usually the freedom of discourse and the ability to say controversial things - rather than the demand for total and unrestricted liberty.

You have it backwards. Your pursuing permission not freedom. To have the freedom to speak of controversial subjects speech you must first have the freedom to speak. Freedoms are unrestricted by their very nature.

While I'm not very knowledgeable of English Law, Cambridge University (and every other university in England) receives taxpayer funding. If keeping free speech on campus is a condition for such funding, then this isn't censorship, but a contractual matter between Cambridge and the English courts that Free Speech Union would like to have observed and enforced.

Is the quote attributed to Bill "why should I refactor code when CPUs get faster, drives get larger" an internet legend or a terribly paraphrased line said by Bill?
Population stabilisation:
Most of the societies even in the developing world are now seeing stagnation in replacement levels of population growth. It will be challenging in the future to ensure economic growth rates of present times for that reason alone. When population stagnates, labour becomes expensive, consumption decreases and growth flattens. Even the last remaining regions of Africa are now seeing rapid urbanisation, and consequently will see this trend in the next 20 years. In a way, evolution itself is forcing humanity to cut down on its wasteful ways. The authors of this article should have touched upon the factor of population deflation in their article to make a more balanced case.
The problem is that perfectly distinguishing permanent and temporary redirects requires infallible knowledge of the future, which is not possible.

How about letting the at risk people decide for themselves what to do? Not a lot of old people want to die alone isolated in a nursing home with no visitation…. Which is exactly what we did. Let we tried to saved grandma only to (literally) kill her from loneliness and isolation.

Absolutely disgusting how many so-called “smart rational” people dismissed it… as if Covid was literally the only thing that mattered and anybody who pointed it out was nothing more than a Fox News watching selfish asshole.

To this day people will defend letting people die alone in a hospital or nursing home with only some crappy video conference as a substitute for real human contact.

It takes a special kind of monster to support the crap we did to the elderly. There are a worryingly large set of people I used to respect that turned out to be monsters.
By many intellectuals and philosophers, like Karl Marx. How do you know you would disagree with their arguments if you didn't even realize such people exist? That's the "lack of understanding" I am talking about.

In fact, there are several different explanations why these are unethical. One (Marx's) comes from labor theory of value (which I don't believe in, I think it is self-contradictory, but even classical liberals did believe in, that's why they hated rent seeking).

Every ethical argument is based on some ethical principles (like axioms). The question is, do you disagree with the argument (the derivation of the conclusion) or with the principles?

I'm tired of this sophistry where people claim "this is not a real capitalism". Why cling to the term then? Capitalism has always been a designation of the actual, real system, not some liberal utopia with no rent seeking. (The actual reason is that you can, somehow hypocritically, acknowledge the flaws of the system, while claiming TINA, anyway.)

Five Walled Gardens – Why Browsers Are Essential & How OSs Hold Them Back [pdf]
I’m 34. The only people I can visualize in my dreams are people I knew when I was a high schooler or maybe earlier.

I’m married and we’ve been together for 10 years. I regularly have dreams featuring my wife’s sister as she was in my grade and I see her pretty often now. My wife’s name/persona will only very occasionally be in my dreams, but never her face. I didn’t know her back then. I also have a nearly one year old daughter and she’s been referenced in dreams but not seen.

To be honest, it freaks me out a little. I had a ski accident when I was 12 where I had a concussion, so maybe that did something. Is anyone else out there like me?
