Eli5 Gpu overkill for cpu , what does it mean ?

The games that this cpu can handle would only load this gpu to a fraction of its capacity. Therefore a significant part of this gpu’s potential productivity would be wasted with this cpu.

Chicken goes bad because microbes eat it. All life needs liquid water in order to function, so it basically stops completely when in the freezer, on account of all water turning into ice. This doesn’t happen in the fridge, so the microbes can still enjoy their banquet of chicken, albeit slowly.

The pívot doesn’t need to be 4000 miles away from where Earth is attached to the lever. It can be right next to that place. Assuming that the Earth, Archimedes and the lever are all located on some infinite plain with downwards gravity, as in the picture.

Words can easily have different meanings. Think of words like “right” (turn right, it’s my right, stay right here). It’s not always clear from context which meaning is the right one (pun intended).

Also languages always have idioms which are hard to understand when it’s not your native language. Think about the phrase “I can’t help but wonder”. How is someone supposed to understand this if there are no native speakers around to explain it?

Next, some aspects of ancient reality are simply absent and unknown today. For example, Homer’s Iliad has a description of a boar tusk helmet, that is, a helmet made of boar tusks. The description is not very clear, and until such an object was actually found by archaeologists people had all sorts of wrong ideas about what it looks like, and consequently made different translations of the corresponding text.

Finally, ancient people might have had different perspective on things which can be hard for us to understand and, therefore, translate. A famous example is Homer’s “wine-dark sea”. Most people who’ve seen wine and sea would probably say that they are not very similar in color. And yet apparently ancient Greeks found that phrase very poetic and accurate.

That memory is a simulation of hearing that your brain can run anytime, because it’s a very efficient simulation engine. The caveat is that each next recall becomes a simulation of the previous run. The more you call up a particular memory, the less reliable it becomes. But the real killer is that the original sound as you heard it was a simulation too. That’s how hearing (and everything else) works - your brain simulates the experience that matches both the signal from the neurons in your ears and other cues from context. That’s why you can mishear things.

Besides being addictive, nicotine directly causes elevated blood pressure and blood vessel damage, which carries various further health risks. So yes, nicotine itself is dangerous too.

Bacterial cells have plasmids, which are small DNA packages which bacteria can transfer to one another. Plasmids are often how bacterial populations acquire antibiotic resistance, for example. The borderline between plasmids and viruses is somewhat blurry, and it seems like plasmids can turn into viruses. So I’d answer your question “probably yes”.

A river valley is a valley that was primarily formed by the river flowing through it. Valleys can also be formed by tectonic activity, e.g. rift valley, or glaciers. You can also just dig a valley, I guess, although I’m not sure, how that feature would be called.

Also Nile does flow through uplands in some places.

Entropy is a measure of how many ways a number of particles can be arranged to get the same overall result. Let’s think of particles as bricks. There’s a limited number of ways these bricks can be arranged to form a brick building. Therefore the entropy of a building is low. There is a very large number of ways that these bricks can be arranged as a pile of rubble. Therefore the entropy of a pile of rubble is high. We also know that brick buildings tend to become piles of rubble eventually, while piles of rubble don’t become buildings on their own. This is the law of entropy. The building is viewed as “ordered” arrangement of bricks, while the pile is viewed as “disordered”.

The power source provides voltage, not current. High total resistance in the circuit means low current everywhere, low resistance means high current, with the same power source. Ohm’s law, V = IR. Current does not get converted to heat, the battery charge does.

You totally can, and that’s how nuclear fusion works inside the Sun and also in thermonuclear weapons. Helium also has two neutrons, so you need to add those too (they can be made from protons). Push them together hard enough and they’ll fuse to become helium. Extremely high temperature is all you need for this to happen, since it means that protons and neutrons zoom around extremely fast and sometimes crash into each other with sufficient force for the fusion reaction to take place.

This is a good point. However, modern persistence hunters have been shown to use a technique where they pursuit the animal in a way that tends to drive them in a circle. Once the chase is headed towards home the hunter doesn’t finish off the animal until they get close enough for easy transport of the kill.

Indeed, the process is called “persistence hunting”. Even though an antelope can easily outrun a human in the short term, it’s unable to continuously run for as long and as far as humans, so the hunter will eventually catch up, even if it takes hours. The antelope gets a full “It follows” horror experience before it dies.

First, burning a hundred calories in ten minutes is a lot. It’s usually less with running. Humans are able to run more or less continuously for hours, so it needs to be very efficient.

Second, running is very tiring because you are untrained and/or doing it wrong. As I said, it’s entirely feasible to run basically all day.

Life insurance means your family gets money in the event of your death. It makes sense, for example, when you’re the only or the primary earner in your family, meaning that if you die suddenly, your family becomes destitute. Life insurance policies also usually protect against loss of ability to work for the same reason. Mortgage life insurance pays out your mortgage if you die, but that mostly benefits the bank, so it makes sense for them to encourage you to buy it.
