I thought the same, but an open question for me (now) is what happens if you eat 3000 calories of protein and 3000 calories of fat or even carbohydrate. You have sufficient calories that your body doesn't need to metabolize protein for energy, but what happens to all the excess protein you consumed?
I assumed the excess protein would be undigested, but can't back that up with a citation.
There should be enough fat in 12000 calories to avoid rabbit starvation.
I did not consider the load of metabolizing all that protein and assumed the body would eliminate what it didn't need. They're might be something in protein toxicity here.
If the ratio of fat to protein is high, and exogenous carbohydrates is relatively low in contrast, insulin levels should be closer to baseline (than a standard diet), as well as blood glucose, thereby keeping the Randle cycle minimized and so consumed energy gets used more by an on-demand basis or it gets dumped (literally). Part of the reason we poop is because, if our bodies literally used all of the mass we consume, we would either get too large in short order or spontaneously combust.
I don't think someone here is lying. There may be some level of exaggeration, as in my experience a lot of cheese (particularly hard cheeses) can lead to extremely painful stools, but calories really aren't as meaningful as one might assume, especially when switching from a diet that directly supplies carbohydrate and one that doesn't.
The human body needs a certain amount of glucose in the blood, but it can't get that from fats (at least as far as I am aware). It can obtain it from protein through a process called gluconeogenesis, but that's a relatively expensive process that requires more ATP than what ultimately results from it. The human body also treats that process in a more demand-driven manner than one where exogenous carbohydrates are consumed. This isn't an absolute, but it's generally less supply-driven. If protein can't be used for glucose or building tissue, it's more likely to become waste eventually.
This guy might be good at designing but he is really bad at 3D-printing. All of that post-processing would've been completely unnecessary if he'd made better choices about material and print orientation.
I have many teachers in both my immediate and extended family. All of the ones who aren't retired say the same thing: the quality of parents is in the absolute shitter in two major aspects: parents don't want to teach their children anything they see as "the school's job" such as how to read or work on anything with their children at home. The second way is discipline. They instill no values of discipline or respect for the rights of others in their children. The "back of the room peanut gallery" that was one in ten or one in twenty children when I was young has grown to one in three. These are kids who've never seen negative consequences for anything they've ever done and steadfastly believe that will continue into their adulthood.
I'm not able to try it until later, but regarding the sample audio: The voice quality is quite good, but what's going on with all the random pauses between words? It's very Captain Kirk.
Right. For the large companies, and the majority of the workforce, they mean nothing. Then the small to mid size businesses with some whackadoo who goes "we're not hiring X anymore, underrepresented groups only!" get a ton of press and create political capital.
Wow that is some massively overpriced crap right there. Forty dollars for a USB continuity tester with a basic plastic case that only does type-C cables. Meanwhile you can get one, with acrylic case, that does types A, B, C, Micro, and Micro 3.0 for $17 off Amazon or $11 off Aliexpress.
It's not just a continuity tester like the one you linked from amazon though. The Kickstarter page is light on details, but it can at the very least communicate with active cables to determine amperage and data speeds.
Add to that a microcontroller, screen and software and the price doesn't look unreasonable to me, especially for a small project like this.
That isn't doing a fraction of the same feature set. The one above is able to read the cables emarker tags to tell you the cables described feature set, OEM, version number/etc. And it also tests actually pushing 40Gbit data and 240w power to verify the emarkers are correct.
There are also cases where there can be active electronics in the cable where pins can seem disconnected by a continuity tester but they are actually connected to a chip inside the cable.
Also as an aside, it should be possible to just plug a cable in, and have your OS tell you what kind of cable it is and it's specs. The USB controller has access to this info but there is no standard way to pass it up to the OS like you have with other USB info. Apparently Chromebooks do have controllers which expose this so they can tell you when both the laptop and charger support faster charging but the cable is limited.
Not sure I would highlight that "acrylic case" as a selling point... it's just a flat lid, with plastic standoffs... which you need to assemble yourself. No sides or even bottom.
Personally I've yet to see a ray tracing implementation that I would sacrifice 10% of my framerate for, let alone 30%+. Most of the time, to my tastes, it doesn't even look better, it just looks different.
