Fwiw early childhood education (pre-k) is a slam dunk, one of the highest ROÍ investments a society can make in its people. Yes it can be studied longitudinally and it does make a marked difference.

Capabilities that would be most impressive with a jigsaw: - 50mm of z-axis travel - Cuts in the center of a 4x8’ sheet of material - Repeatable cuts to a decent tolerance - Cuts made while you sleep

Social networks are social advertising networks. A privacy-first solution by its nature is unlikely to benefit from network effects. You don’t organically discover content that has to be explicitly shared with you. So they way to do it is

I wrote a Python script to simulate a simple co-op board game I play with my kids to empirically confirm my reasoning about the optimal strategy. Ended up writing it up: https://productgardener.substack.com/p/monte-carl

Agreed, I smiled a this line. Good reminder that you don’t have to be super experienced to have big insights and impact. And also that being brilliant doesn’t magically correlate with being knowledgeable. https://xkcd.com/10

I’d wager my nonexistent tech GTM credentials that they specifically encourage the demo model to do this to highlight the multimodal input for the wow factor. At this point in the hype cycle being memorable probably outweighs being creepy!

Ooh I see PixiJs can make content available to the screenreader for a11y. That’s always a big question mark for me when people start cramming a content tree into a canvas.

Ooh I like “nontent.” Nothing like a spicy portmanteau!

I’d say that’s the definition of “remember” rather than “memorize.” To most people I’d wager “memorize” has a strong connotation for the synthetic version only, with an emphasis on a stripping-out of context. I recognize that stripping away

Perhaps I worded it too emotionally. I mean that experts struggle to remember what it was like before they understood something. It’s very common for experts to ask novices to make leaps that they aren’t capable of making, because they seem

OP and others here are stretching the definition of “memorize” to mean “anything that leads to something being retained in memory.” I reject this idea. The trauma of burning your hand on a hot pan creates a memory you won’t soon forget, but

No, they sub it for lime flux, which had the side effect of reactivating the cement (makes “clinker”), which can then be used again in new concrete. Pretty cool hack!

Actually you probably can’t, assuming you aren’t a world champion cyclist and you’re starting from a standstill. 100m is too short to capture the advantage unless you’re very, very fast. See: https://www.outsideonline.com/un

I think halal mortgages are instructive on this point. To be clear, I’m not Muslim nor a lending expert, I just think it’s a really interesting setup. As I understand it, sharia law forbids paying interest, so a conventional mortgage is not
