We got some feedback from friends that having a visual clue for the exercises could make a big difference. Something like a video or animation would allow users to follow along without needing to read through the steps. I completely agree with this idea, as it makes the experience much more intuitive.

We are considering two approaches to add this feature. One idea is to create a static library of exercises with pre-recorded videos or animations. This would provide clear and consistent guidance but might feel repetitive over time. Another option is to dynamically generate animations or visuals from the exercise descriptions, as explained in this twit [1]

What do you think? Would having videos or animations improve the experience for you? And would you prefer a fixed set of ~100 exercises or dynamically generated visuals? Your input will help us decide how to move forward.

Russia has an estimated 1.5 million troops and plenty of equipment. They have seemed to still be very lacking in military logistics, which is crucial, but they also haven't seemed to be throwing everything they have at Ukraine.

I'd strongly recommend you not underestimate Russian ability by assuming Ukraine is the best they could do. That doesn't mean they are going to invade further into Europe, but we're talking about military size and deterrence here.

So? There was a time when all the phone-based activities were separate objects and devices. But today, conveniently they’re all in a single device. Aggregate screen time is a useless measure and discrete screen time only matters to help diagnose when something has done wrong. If the kid is wildly successful what doors screen time matter?
From my experience with school bullying it was an entirely social problem. If the rest of the classroom agreed that you shouldn't be bullied then there were few ways for a handful of kids to go against that consensus, and most of them would backfire on the would-be bully.

Of course, if you're young and you have no friends, good luck getting your peers to think you're worth defending.

These are all hot-button issues in education today, at least in some states and districts.
> Only stiff fields can have standing waves in empty space, which in turn are made from “particles” that are stationary and vibrating. And so, the very existence of a “particle” with non-zero mass is a consequence of the field’s stiffness.

It's really difficult to reconcile "standing waves in empty space" with "stiff fields". If the space is truly empty, then the field seems to be an illusion?

If we think about fields as the very old concept of aether, then it actually makes more intuitive sense. Stiffness then becomes simply the viscosity of the aether.

I had very much the same feeling. Honestly this might be all true, but it's got a vibe I don't like. I did QFT in my PhD and have read plenty of good and bad science exposition, and it doesn't feel right.

I can't point at any outright mistakes, but for example I think the dismissal of the common interpretation of virtual particles in Feynman diagrams is not persuasive.

It's one step above "normal" text-to-speech solutions, but not much above it. The epub has "Chapter 1" as the title on the page, and a lot of whitespace, and then "This was...." (actual text). The software somehow managed to ignore all the whitespace and reach "chapter 1 this was.." as a single sentance, no pauses, no nothing.

It's quite a crowded market, browser workflow automation. What are you guys trying to do differently? For me, as someone who does a bunch of browser automation tasks, the real issue is stability.

It would help if they didn't charge $50 for a single raw PCB in low quantity when I can have the same board not just made, but also assembled in China for a fraction of that, shipping included. Literally.

It's easier if you can find a sliiiight incline to do it against. So for instance if the road slopes a bit to the right (more elevated on the left side), I turn my front wheel to the left, "up" the small incline. Then I can push the pedal to go a cm forward, or release it a bit to roll a cm backwards. So it kinda simulates a unicycle, except you use the slight incline to do the backpedaling you would do on a unicycle. The better you get at it, the flatter you can go, and when you find the balance you can lift your hands. Good luck!

This is so cool!

It's not about groups labeling themselves as fascist. It's about groups labeling others as fascist.

Trump and the republican party at large has been called a fascist a truckload of times. This alone means "antifa" can take action against an immense swath of the population.

In the exact same way, there are groups that label themselves as communists or hell, even pedophiles, and we should still be wary if the anti-commie or anti-pedo force showed up because you can't trust vigilantes not to be utter morons.

> This compounds when a library releases a new breaking major version, presumably - `%SomeStruct{}` for v2 may be different from `%SomeStruct{}` v1r2.

You should never reuse the revisions. If you launch a major version, then it means you only support r5 onwards. Do not reset it back to r1.

I am also not sure if the user needs to know the version. Remember that if I am in r5, because of subtyping, the code naturally supports r1, r2, r3, and r4, and those already have to be pretty printed. All of the work here is to "generate automatic proofs" via type signatures, no new capability or requirement is being introduced on the type representation of things.

> Documentation seems like it would be more complex, as well. If `%SomeStruct{}` in v1.0 has some shape, and you publish `v1.1`, then realize you want to update the revision of `%SomeStruct{}` with a modified (or added) field

I don't think documentation is more complex because that's something already factored in today. Functions add new options in new releases. Structs add new fields. And today we already annotate the version they were added. Perhaps this approach can automate some of it instead.

Other than that, we should be skeptical indeed. :)
"Just store it in UTC" will cause bugs for human time, which calendaring is the most complex example of (because it contains basically every other use case). Don't throw away the date and time the user entered. How you store it is the subjective part, as different choices have different risks. But don't just throw it away.

Also, the existence of this thread should be good evidence that it is indeed not that simple.
I fail to see how this is Google's problem and as much as it pains me to say this, I agree with Google.

I believe it is more the downstream providers fault for not terminating inactive accounts, and the failed startup's for not properly deleting their Google accounts.

Google can mitigate this as the author mentioned, but this is not their responsibility. They shouldn't be held liable because failed startups were stupid to not delete their data.

The point in the Article is that Meta used LibGen to train, not legally obtained books from their local library.
The problem is that if you and I made use of LibGen and some of the “right holders” (more likely some IP specialized law firms) realized that, we would be prosecuted.

Giving Meta exclusive access to those copies is the problem (which is effectively what we are doing if they are not prosecuted, or, alternatively, if we accepted that LibGen is fair use for everyone).

In all honesty, this gives a delightful if frightening look into how physicists are thinking amongst themselves. As a (former) particle physicist myself, I can’t remember the number of times an incredulous engineer has confronted me with “the truth” about physics. But you see, for practicing physicists, the models and theories are fluid and actually up for discussion and interpretation, that’s our job after all. The problem is that the official output is declared to be immutable laws of nature, set in formulae and dogmatic conventions.
That said, I agree that he is trading one possible fallacy for another here, but the beauty of the thing is that the “stiffness” explanation is invoking less assumptions than the quantum one - which physicists agree is a “good thing” (Occam’s razor).
