It was screamingly obvious from what I wrote.

Where did I say “for the whole marathon”? The point of pace setters is that they run shorter distances faster and then drop out. They’re given a tempo to run by the lead group, yes, and they enable that lead group to run faster by providing shelter. This is true from the 1500 upwards; look at Josh Kerr’s recent mile record, the Breaking 2 project, etc.

Jasmin Paris has won a fair number of extremely difficult ultras in mixed company, for example. Really long ultras are not an exclusively male domain. The marathon is if anything too short.

(Have a read about persistence hunting).

The article’s point is that the assumption that “men evolved to hunt” is unsupported by the evidence and therefore implicitly sexist. This is a defensible position.

“Y'all realize that the competitors can run faster than the pace setters, right?“

Generally they can’t - the pace setters run at a pace above typical max for the distance (but within max for the shorter distance they are running), sheltering the people they’re pacemaking for.

You want to believe things are simple, but they’re not.

Wildly, severely not, honestly. They're going about retail second-hand on Reverb, with thin supply. You might do better having a look in the Chase Bliss Audio Discord.

It's not a ROMpler, but Hydrasynth Explorer.

Melanie Matchett Wood is elliptic curves, which Anthropic got some results on recently.

I’d be shocked if anyone with any kind of post-secondary education in any numerate discipline couldn’t give you at least an informal definition of a metric space. Certainly all the physicists, all the geneticists, all the ML people.

Fidji Simo has well documented chronic health issues so there’s no reason to assume that the ostensible and actual reasoning are far apart there.

The famous levitating frog guy has the double; one Nobel, one IgNobel.

Schools use it!

The Noah Smith/Nate Silver axis of opinion-politics writers are — literally — Stephen J Smith and Skip Bayless for people who think politics is sports. They're in the entertainment business.

There are many examples; k12.<state>.us is another.

The implication (given that the US is an outlier here) is that prevention is much better than cure here; that means reform of healthcare and social housing so people are less likely to wind up in that trap.
