It’s not clear that those controls are for the video on first glance. I thought they referred to the exercise itself (eg, restart exercise). I think you’re not thinking like a new user.

The few UX things can make for a really frustrating experience. You don’t want to push away your users in their first testing. 1. Change the word “gaps” to “blanks” for English audiences. It fits the common phrase “fill in the blanks” bette

The click and drag UX is cool. BUT, it’s super annoying that it reorganizes every time you drag one off. So the next one you may have been looking to drag has now moved (or it means you accidentally grab the incorrect one). Can they stay in

Silvestri certainly had a style and some distinct instrumentation in the 80s (you'll also hear similarities in the Abyss and Predator). Sometimes I like to think of the alternate movie tracks as bonus tracks for Back to the Future. I s

Apathy? Communications spin? Lack of technical understanding? I suspect some people installed it on a whim based on the recommendation of someone and then forgot about it.

This is actually a perfect example of how under-served dental needs have been. It was only passed via some interesting political wrangling and alliances. And it hasn’t been a smooth rollout with some dentists not getting on board. Starting

Are we entering the F1 stage of baseball and other sports? I bet there’s room for optimization with gloves and shoes and uniforms. I’m surprised teams haven’t made use of mobile recovery units when visiting away teams (instead of hotels). A

So you're saying that dental health is essential for the rest of the body? Yet, Canada doesn't include it in its famous 'universal free healthcare'... I'd actually just like to see more money put into public dental

They aren’t close to being banned. They’re explicitly allowed with a defined size/capacity. Even after a recent fire, South Korea just tightened the rules (eg no charging on flights) But they’re still allowed. https://amp.ab

But I think they’re inherently safer? I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some sort of wide ban of lithium batteries on planes at some point. Maybe sodium ones would be allowed and they’d have that specific utility. “AirSafe Power Certified”

The high contrast edges of foliage breaks it too. It seems like a release from the original source would be very doable. And maybe other versions exist if it was considered for (and won) various awards. And the initial Sky broadcast may ha

Try pulling different codec versions from YouTube? Maybe it got upped to Vimeo or something before? Also YouTube got rid of some resolution options a couple years back and that kinda adds to the problem of compression-rot of sorts.

It was a thought and that’s why I said “one of the seeds”. I guess there’s such a thing as a “cultural zeitgeist” and when artists are creating stories and narratives they incorporate metaphors from things around them. They may not have exp

There’s something meta about your comment and my reaction. Metaphor. The pachinko metaphor seems so apt it made me pause and probably internalize it in some way. It’s now added to my brains dataset specifically about LLMs. It’s an interesti

Hm I wonder if instead of the displacement, it’s using the difference in the standard and ultrawide field of view and doing some sort of interpolation of them? Maybe even pulling data from the lidar? The fake depth of field blur/bokeh
