They didn't. But if the amount of available calories drops below the necessary amount, then famine occurs. How bad this is depends on how much overshoot, and how prepared the population is to find alternatives. In Irish history, there

If we let βₛ be as above (SignSGD?) and βₗ be as in LION, then it looks to me that βₛ=βₗ/α should make c from both equal.

Yes. I omitted time-indices, and moved the momentum-update up to before the parameter-update. In their pseudo-code θₜ updated with mₜ₋₁ whereas above, it would be with mₜ. I suspect it is equivalent up to slightly different α and β?

Yes, but you can set a heavy project to say 4096 samples (which is then 96ms) when playback latency doesn't matter. Sound travels about 2m in 6ms. Iirc, it's difficult for humans to perceive time differences smaller than 20ms, so

It depends on the application. More serious music applications have separate "render mode" which works in non-realtime. Also "real-time" apps will use a rendering buffer of say 100 ms. Someone would need to benchmark how

Nothing is known, but if we assume the basic events are not fabricated, then the behaviour of an F-35 was somehow altered by a fired missile. If such a missile detonated within a radius of maybe 30-40m (or something) then damage would have

If you want to avoid "being seen", you must not use radar. Then, to launch missiles, you need to network with a distributed group sharing sensor data. This mode of operation is possible in all modern fighter jets, and capabilities
