Reptilian muscles fatigue waaay faster than mammalian's. That's probably the reason why chewing doesn't work for them. Also, the white muscle from reptiles is very good at giving explosive force, which is exactly what they are doing instead...

This is a physiological difference given their evolution. I remember it from college. Biologist here.

And . the same applies to why we can't catch lizards, they are so fast.. Right?.. until they aren't. The trick to catch them is to make them run a little ;p

Reminds me of that post about a new species and someone had to ask "how come scientists never saw it before?!"

Omg, this turned out to be a thread with plenty explanations to USians that societies have laws, police, judges...

You can blame the orange guy all you want, but your culture is completely derailed. Murder (under whatever "reasons") can't be a national sport.

Weapon manufacturers really did a good job in the land of the free..

Am I the only one surprised to see the USians supporting this? In spite of Trump. Just great!

If anyone can share details on this.. It would be very welcome

This meme has the worst crop ever. What's that at a bottom, a copyright notice? Lmao.

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)

Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.

Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?

At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.

If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

Why don't we start by banning outdoor use of fossil fuels? :)

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)

I wonder if this could help the IT workers from the public sector in Germany (E12, around 2500 €/month).

Anyone knows why it is like that?

Once, I heard about some speculative extra amounts made by guarantees in purchases. (Germans love guarantees, and any hardware purchase has a 50% surplus that can easily be split 1:1 between vendor and whoever was in charge. Yes, it would be illegal.. But nearly impossible to prove.)

If only they did the same with Palestine... That would be even better! Of course, many countries (Germany included) are yet to recognize that country because of reasons (fear included, specially Germany!)

Also, GNU foundation , software, and license were product of community efforts. Just like science. We only see names because of our own biases towards the cult of personalities. Imho this is bc everyone wants to be a hero, and no one likes thinking we are just pieces playing a role that can very much be carried out by other people sooner or later. That's why we all should be doing our greatest efforts, even if you are not the legend you may want to be in whatever field of work you're doing..

As others just said, take the challenge of repairing or correctly identify what's broken. It should be fun, and part of the diy ethos.

If, you are still going for a new piece for the upgrades...

Depends very much on your scope. Heck, there's even aesthetics. Do you prefer AMD or Intel? Don't you feel like having an ARM and take the challenge of compatible images? Would you need to check the transcoding compatibility for Jellyfin? Are you going fangless? Is one 2.5gpbs eth port enough? Etc.

That said, check the reviews from https://www.servethehome.com/ they have articles with benchmarks and videos for all the latest nucs and other hardware's form factor servers.

Be aware that Intel discontinued the NUCs iirc.. but Asus or some vendor might have picked up to grab that market segment.

Good luck!
