This years RAAM (Race Across America) winner finished in 8 days 19 hours, that's almost 350 miles per day.
Normal people no, but top ultra endurance cyclists can do 300 miles a day for two weeks straight. Especially if they are not self-supported and/or the course is not too hilly.
Just like running your own mail server doesn't help when nearly everyone you talk to uses GMail, simply not using these devices yourself is likely not to make much difference.
"Pulse is a new programming language embedded in F*, inheriting many of its features (notably, it is higher order and has dependent types), but with built-in support for programming with mutable state and concurrency, with specifications and proofs in Concurrent Separation Logic."
Maybe they can use their brilliant super AI to address some real and present threats that are being ignored like nuclear annihilation, the loss of the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force established after WWII, the certainty of all of the fossilized carbon being dug up out of the ground and released into the environment, the resurgence of measles and a poor posture for the next pandemic, ETC...
This is actually a recurring pattern among technology maximalists: pushing technology as the solution to every problem, without recognizing that some problems are human in nature, rather than technological.
Oh they recognise that. The fail is they think all human problems have technological solutions. And fail to appreciate the extent to which past tech solutions have contributed to those problems in the hands of humans such as themselves.
Funny you should say that. I was just thinking we need to ban the world's most unreliable and untrustworthy technology from being applied to the world's most critical problems.
Obviously that is one of the needs. It clashes with zero-sum game mentalities - and they are part of what needs to be overcome (further questions for the superconsultants).
Here's a video of an amateur cyclist going all out for about a minute after spending about five minutes getting up to speed, pushing his bike to 76.11 mph.
What that rider is demonstrating is maximum lactate clearance after a long aerobic warm-up. This has nothing to do with the pathways by which high intensity intervals are thought to be beneficial.
The Cochrane review of "physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses" that infamously does not find a significant effect for masking does find significant effects for hand washing.
> We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.
> Hand hygiene programmes may help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses.
> There is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. The low to moderate certainty of evidence means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited, and that the true effect may be different from the observed estimate of the effect.
> Hand hygiene is likely to modestly reduce the burden of respiratory illness, and although this effect was also present when ILI [influenza-like illnesses] and laboratory‐confirmed influenza were analysed separately, it was not found to be a significant difference for the latter two outcomes.
> Our confidence in these results is generally low to moderate for the subjective outcomes related to respiratory illness, but moderate for the more precisely defined laboratory‐confirmed respiratory virus infection, related to masks and N95/P2 respirators.
> Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies.
There are a couple of distinctions here: Habitat is graphical and not merely text-based. "MMO" means "massively multiplayer online [...]" but MUD1 and the minicomputer/Unix MUDs were not "massive" but limited to a few dozen players at a time. It is unclear how many players (registered or simultaneous) were supported by Habitat, but Wikipedia seems confident to call it "MMORPG" without numbers or a cited source.
I was involved in the campaign to increase TinyMUD capacity from ~64 players to ~256 simultaneously connected players in the mid-1990s. But nobody was calling that "massive" even when it seemed like more than we ever had.
There are other criteria that may be considered for a "massive" adjective. Size of the world, and time to explore. It seems that Habitat was rather expensive by the hour! The MUDs in academic networks were populated by students with a lot of free time, and possibly unlimited access from their CS-related majors.
This. It's why "unitary executive" is so attractive - he can extend his tendrils into every nook & cranny of policy (foreign and other) to personally monetize it.
