My lay observance is many soldier's are stronger+heavier than WWII for example. Strength doesn't quite offset the increased body weight effects when it comes to running medium to long distances. So typically you'd be right, b

Also, walking doesn't trigger your appetite as much as running or weight lifting for the same calorie expenditure. That's purely anecdotal but what I've come to conclude. One poster said walking doesn't burn glycogen, wh

I think calorie-wise running/jogging is roughly half the time to cover a distance for twice the calories per second compared to moderate walking. You could slice this a million ways to tease out many different efficiencies.

Can we pinpoint a specific decade this happened or is it a slow process? Because if we count CS as a science, I’m seeing it become just like the worst of the sciences in this regard. AI has really gotten me pessimistic. There’s so much borr

This is my experience doing RLHF for math for LLMs. So many times it’s a partial answer. It may find the minimal case for example, but it doesn’t say why it’s the minimal one, even when the prompt specially asks for the why.

You watch travel vlogs where fights break out on planes? I'd love to see those channels! I suspect not. I suspect you don't watch actual vlogs, rather you see 1 minute long clips we all see. Sometimes we want to watch the whole un

Videos I've watched of people's experiences. Things like having a driver be at their max hours, maybe due to unforceen traffic and delays, and Greyhound having no replacement driver ready, causing them to be late. Not hit pieces,

Yes. Quantum mechanics for example is not something that could have been thought of even conceptually by anything “locked in a room”. Logically coherent structure space is so mind bogglingly big we will never come close to even the smallest

Ah that makes sense. Seems to be in large part because there are varieties that are lower heat but higher flavor, and ceteris paribus, getting away with less jalapeno for same or greater flavor saves money. I wonder if anyone's weighed

I usually go for a quick and dirty start-to-finish in a day recipe when I’m craving hot sauce. I don’t have much patience or long term storage or want to gamble with botulism, so I don’t ferment. A very very rough recipe is: - 4 lbs of drie
