Long before audio books were a public thing I received a special tape player for listening to audio recordings of my school textbooks because I have low vision. I was ecstatic to learn that I could adjust the speed and could still understand the book at something around 2-2.5x speed. I don’t know to what extent other bling or impaired persons use the speed controls but I’m guessing it’s designed because some people can process the information and others more slowly and this isn’t a bad thing per se. I also agree that the information glut is not a good habit but listening to something at a faster speed is not in abs of itself information glut. Sometimes the bottleneck in presentation speed is the speaker not the listener.
I would recommend bitjam podcast in general, but episode 20[0] is a great introduction to some hits of the scene from over the years. Highly recommended for the nostalgia hit, and just great tunes!

I think we don’t remember the things because we know they are at the reach of our fingers.

This is based on my experience with driving. I used to drive car every other week from the city where I live to my hometown (230km give or take). I did the route several times for few years - and still I never could remember which exit to take on specific places. Then I decided to drive without navigation. It took few wrong turns and one try and now I remember my route without any problems.

Or maybe speed really isn't that important. Just make sure that what you are learning is important. There is a lot of information out there that just doesn't matter. Focus on what actually has an impact to you and not all of the things you think you "should" learn because someone else said so.
3x speed is an accessibility feature for anyone who has trouble paying attention at slower rates. The rules of grammar mean that people often need to speak far more words than is necessary for some concepts. Pause and rewind buttons exist for passages which are actually information dense.

(The same is true of writing; entire paragraphs exist for no reason other than maintaining structure. Fortunately, well-edited works follow rules of paragraph style and structure -- first words, subect; final words, conclusion -- which enable effective skimming.)
I agree with other commenters: it's all about the content.

I listen to most podcasts at 2x at least because they often are too much chatter or are repeating things I know. But sometimes I pause them to think when something new arises. In other cases, like some types of YouTube videos, I watch at 0.75x because they are way too fast and have no white-space, way too dense.

And in all of this, the MAIN thing I learn is WHAT the podcast was. I don't learn the deepest understanding of some subject. I learn THAT the subject exists (a very specific bit within a subject sometimes).

Here and there, I encounter some truly applicable, practical concepts, and then I have to put them to use and revisit them in order to really learn and master them.
I’m really curious about this as others have said similar things. What else is missing?

This is awesome! I have been thinking about building something like this for a long time. Good thing I don't need to.

The simple goal and counting the days is something I've been doing for years, but on paper and calendars. This is so much simpler, it feels more right. I really like the KISS approach and look here.

One UX factor to point out: I lost my data after signing up for the first time. That sucked.

Otherwise... Thank you, please keep building this, and if you're looking for feedback, I'm here to give it.
I watch everything I can in 2x speed, except for exceptionally fast talkers (those I watch on 1.5x, usually).

I think I could go up to 2.5x speed, but most video sites do not provide an option for that.

1x is just too slow.

And yes, I get everything at 2x. Not everyone can. I know one person with an auditory processing disorder who cannot manage even 1.5x without a lot of effort. I suspect handling 2x is partly about skill, but not entirely.
>It really doesn't seem like you are well versed on this topic. I don't know any other way to put it.

Ok. I am, but I don't expect you to take my word for it.

>alphafold's 90% is 90% because that is the highest possible score with the level of error within the source material, not because we know there is 10% error left to "fix".

This is just making my point. Homology modeling is not knowledge of protein folding. It's knowledge of structures of experimentally observed folded proteins

>which is the opposite of what we've seen from alphafold. 90% accuracy has to be good enough to be useful as it already has been pointed out, that's within the error range of x-ray crystallography

I dont think you really understand how protein model building works. You are conflating prediction error from a model with observed error from empirical data. An xray structure with an Rfree of 10% is not the same as a predictive model that is 90% accurate, because in one case you have electron density to guide you, and in the other you do not.

>so let's be clear here, any "crisis of confidence" here isn't "this isn't precise enough to work" but "I don't trust dem neural networks, they are going to take our jobs".

Sure are a lot of missing comments here. It seems hardcore leftists love diversity in everything except diversity of opinions. Ah this place is basically group think extreme. More interesting than Reddit usually but just as hostile to debate about subjects that go against the TV gods or popular culture. Basically the internet is becoming little clicks of people that dare not even speak up for fear of losing more than something like posting privileges to a website. You think this issue is not political? It has been politics from the very first minute we saw it on TV.

"Made a business decision" is not the same as "it's ok", and it's dangerous to conflate these. I'm not sure where posting on Facebook falls, but for a relatively clear-cut case consider "made a business decision to not bother with wheelchair accessibility".
Very nice looking, any logging capability ? ;)

And seriously: what is faster: plain chmod or chmod-cli ? That is main usability requirement, IMO.
I don't know if you imagine me to be partisan here. I was arguing simply that headlines are hard to balance, and that people can interpret articles with a slant.

I wasn't saying that one bad study means the overall trial was bad.

The issue is that SOME people might think that. (Also others might think that if it's ONE study that's bad, the overall trial WAS fine, when that's not clear either).

The risk is whether real people take away a too-strong message and run with it.

In other words, journalists have SOME responsibility to not mislead people even when the main way people get off-track is their own erroneous jumping-to-conclusions as readers. We KNOW that readers do such things, so we have to be careful to minimize it.
Like a Buzzfeed "journalist," I don't think a reviewer has a right to be shielded from the consequences of their speech. There's nothing that says you can undermine a business owner or harm an establishment with your exaggerated or even false claims, and then expect to be treated like a king. Just because you had a less then stellar time once doesn't mean that the average shopper doesn't leave satisfied. So the next time you show up at my shop to buy some wood screws or whatever, be prepared to be shown the door while I meaningfully tap the sign that says that we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
It's not just density, many books are pure nonsense. So 200 books of pure nonsense a year won't teach you much. They'll just introduce you to a ton of terrible ideas.
No, because there's little to no training data, and the neural network doesn't appear to actually have any real information on protein folding physics, beyond just very advanced template matching.
I have not thought about collecting cans in a very long time. Decades ago you could make a decent bit of cash collecting aluminum cans. It was a common past time for poor people and undoubtedly contributed to the very high recycle rate for aluminum since it was a source of income for many people. This was widely known, so people would often go out of their way to make their aluminum trash easily available to be collected. It was kind of low-key charity of sorts.

At some point this just kind of dried up. I suspect it coincided with municipalities selling the rights to collect recyclables to waste management companies.
Your best chance in Boston is probably grubhub. Unicorns and FAANG will also pay 100k+ for junior, but you probably need a lot more programming chops. I'd start building things (a simple web app is good). There's a good chance your first job will have to be web dev.

You could consider a bootcamp, I wouldn't mention it in your application but it can be very useful in getting yourself to code and familiarising yourself with common tools. I know many people who've bootstrapped their careers that way, avoid lambda school though. If you just want to optimise for interview prep I know the people behind https://www.kibaclass.com/ and would vouch for them, they can guide you to consistently getting optimal or close to optimal solutions as well as dealing with the soft skills interviews.

Good luck.

OP's point is totally off topic to the article, the actual article title is - "How Africa will become the center of the world’s urban future"

Africa's cities are big already and they will keep climbing. There's no reason to doubt this, they can support large cities, that's easy, it just won't be pretty.

No one is claiming they will be any sort of "Super power". Technology would have to change things in a big way for that to be true. Everyone getting drones in Africa isn't going to help with stability any time soon. OP is strawmanning it.
Turing Ring
I watch my lectures at between 2x(math classes) and 3.5x(business classes) speed. Most professors just talk unconscionably slow, and done kitties focus in material so basic that I don't really have to understand every word.
I'm guessing that the cans in this story are paid for by weight rather than the 10-20 cent deposit/refund you get where I am?

How much is that worth? With the deposit, collecting cans can be a fairly lucrative side line for children and the retired - you often see people collecting cans from bus stop trashbins and at music festivals or park events there will often be people going around with large trash offering to dispose of empty beer cans.
I'm guessing you mean it's similar to the map case?

Clojure/Script of course approaches validation and parsing using schema systems (malli or spec) that has its advantages compared to static type based approaches.

I think hierarchies are optimal for command and control but they work best when power is not distributed hierarchically as well. Ie some kind of bottom up feedback that keeps the upper levels of the hierarchy directly valuable to the lower levels all the way up.

Self organisation that doesn’t end up having leader nomination needs something like voting or consensus driven decision making instead : I haven’t seen that produce good decisions efficiently.
Turing’s diffusion/reaction algorithm involved this. As you intuited, it is a good system for making fractal-like designs and patterns. Cheetah spots, zebra stripes, maybe even 3D structures like capillaries...

But, such a system can’t make discrete forms—like a nose.

There’s something else going on.

For instance... deer grow antlers every season (antlers are not horns; rather, they are complex structures with tissue, bone, skin, nerves, etc) Anyway, if a growing antler is nicked, scar tissue will form... no big deal, right? But, this is where it gets weird... When the antlers fall off and then grow the following year, the scar will be present on the new antlers. Let that sink in.
It’s still a thing in the third world. But it’s very very low in income.

You're right! I'd say doing is important for actually understanding and retaining information while reading is important for understanding the triumphs and failures of others and "stealing" ideas.

Interspersing the two is perhaps the best way of learning. For example you don't want to learn to swim by watching 12, hour-long videos on swimming techniques, costumes and its history. You do wanna watch a 15 minute instructions video on how to get your feet wet and then go ahead and actually get your feet wet and then come back and watch the next 15 minutes of video on how to step into the pool.
I'm on iOS and I believe I'd have to pay Apple an annual fee for the privilege of building Signal myself and/or installing the compiled app. (Maybe I'd also have to buy a Mac or MacBook?) I also think I would have to reinstall my own build every few weeks and it wouldn't have access to my current chat history.

But I've never tried. I'd love to learn about any misconceptions.
A particularly interesting note is that Asterix and Obelix actually gets different English translations for the US and UK markets, and they frequently rework the puns differently, presumably due to idiomatic differences.
It does depend on the content. Personally, if its for entertainment I default to x2 speed (thanks apple tv+ for including x2 speed instead of netflix's x1.5 half measure); but for educational purposes I go down to x1.5

The downside is, after a few days of getting used to it, x1 content feels like slow motion.
> Meaning that...

No, that does not follow at all.

But it seems very appropriate that you quote one statistic and then make a claim about a completely different one. Good exercise/example for the reader.
I recently got a Western Electric 302 on craigslist and am planning to hook my house up on FreePBX/Asterisk, as I live in a 3 story townhome and it would be nice to have the bottom and top floor calling on real phones. Just yesterday I confirmed that it could ring and function normally with a Rotatone EXT and Linsys PAP2T. Alongside that I want to play around with the idea of it as an interface to a speech-to-text application.

China Ordered Amazon to Delete Reviews of Xi Jinping’s Book, Reuters Says
From the article

"Jessica is a proud first-generation Ecuadorian-American and a second-year Percy Ellis Sutton Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) student at Baruch College majoring in business management with a minor in law and policy."

Jessia is the American dream. First generation, got to college and writing like that.

Lots of Americans concentrate on what is wrong with America. There is value in that but it's really important to remember that America is still a place where immigrants can come and they or their children will really make it.

Good on them.

(BTW. I am not an American but I did live and work there.)

> The right to life doesn't confer an obligation on or a right to another person to interfere to maximize the length or quality of someone else's child's life.

It absolutely does. This is why various child welfare social services exist in various countries, precisely so that someone can interfere to maximize the length and quality of someone else's child's life.
The few podcasts I listen to, I do so in 0.2x speed or even less. Not by slowing the playback speed, obviously, but by pausing and rewinding very often to think about what has been said and even take notes if I find something that resonates with me.

Most podcasts though I listen to at infinite speed, meaning I don't listen to them at all. You can go through them 2-3x speed because there's really nothing there.

It's like code: if it's boilerplate you can just skim it but if it's really doing something you have to read it slowly multiple times. And just like the saying: nothing of value is easily gained.

If you find yourself speeding though things - in general, not just podcasts - I would ask myself if they're worth doing at all.

My observation as well—I have an account that I’ve set up for some automated notifications and it’s apparently into everything.
The optimal speed very much content and goal dependent. Some narrators just speak slowly, some books are very information dense, and are you trying to memorise the entire book or just pick out a few points?
These days it is rare for companies to force you to implement your solution in a specific language. Ruby is close enough to "normal looking code" that you'll be fine. Just stick with whatever you are most comfortable with. It's about the algorithm anyway.
I assume increasing poverty in the world would also count in that equation. I was just watching a travel show today, and the guy said Cuba went from 4 million visitors/year to almost none this year. Can you imagine how much poverty that loss of tourism income brings to an already poor population. And poverty quickly translates to increased excess mortality.
Well, I hope the US will payback well to you guys for being in line with Washington's desire and agenda.
Listening at 3x speed and concentrating deeply on the material =\= listening at 3x speed while trying to multitask

Most informative content is, I have observed, fairly slow and repetitious. This is a good way to produce content because it is fair to assume that most people will not be fully mentally engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. That’s not a bad thing - your audience may simply not understand the importance of what you’re trying to say until they’ve heard it once). However, viewers who want to fully engage with content may find themselves having trouble concentrating due to the slow speed of information.

Personally, I use 1x for most entertainment and for informative material if I’m doing some other activity like chores or driving, 2x for entertainment content which has a lot of fluff (e.g. pretty much everything on YouTube these days), and 2.5x for informative content which I am giving my full attention to (although I often pause to consider what’s been said or rewind to rewatch a dense portion of the content at a slower speed). That’s a pretty good balance for me.

I mean TypeScript’s structural type system is effectively “just use maps”. With very few exceptions, any structurally equivalent type is substitutable for another.

> Clojure/Script of course approaches validation and parsing using schema systems (malli or spec) that has its advantages compared to static type based approaches.

So does TypeScript. It has to, because the type system doesn’t have a runtime. The benefit in TS is that you also get static analysis.

In the San Francisco Bay area, collecting cans is still very common among the homeless. In some parts of SF people will dig through your recycling (and garbage) every garbage day for recycling. Additionally, many public garbage cans have a semi-open section at the top which I have seen used for disposing of cans. I don't know if it's intentionally designed that way, but it's much easier for anyone to get the cans from this section vs the trash barrel itself.
