Really enjoying all these animation by Ryan Sael. I spent a good part of an hour exploring https://sael.net/river-bend/

School only worked for me because it forced structure onto my learning. Live lectures rarely engaged me, math and physics aside. So traditional teaching wasn't the draw. What mattered were the guardrails: quarterly exams, a peer group to measure myself against, and a pace that forced me to push past initial boredom until a subject clicked.

Without clear goalposts, external accountability, and support, self paced learning feels like running in a desert. You just end up going in circles. That’s exactly why MOOCs never worked for me, nor for thousands of others.

why not?

Or passing the income to it's creators

manning the loo in a developed country would be a much higher expense, and that too if you can convince someone to do it.

7 mentions of "smoking gun" here so far!

I actually prefer apps because I don't have to wait for each page to load, initialize, see the UI shifting a 100 times. If I had to open webpages for things I use regularly, that would drive me insane. Maybe that says something about web dev standards

I've had medical students in the room when doctors do all kinds of checks. I somehow didn't have any reservations about that either.

I've enjoyed consuming information about interested research papers on instagram, and insta has been good at showing me more of such content. But I think a dedicated platform would be great too! It takes such scientific content creators lots of time to create a script, hook, include animations or other visual aids and also put the research in perspective with it's potential implications in the long terms. I am not sure if AI would be able to do a good job (yet).

My $0.02 try creating an AI powered science channel on YT or insta before spending time on creating a dedicated app.

I like selfcontrolapp.com , been using it for a long time. There's no (straightforward) way to remove the block with this one, and it works on all the browsers.

You give a compelling argument. If the same strategy was being executed by someone else, I'd even consider giving it a thought. Heck, if the president was executing this independently, I'd still give him the benefit of doubt. But I don't trust Elon with what you're suggesting. He has nefarious motives.

Love this video!

I have similar feeing for Gmail (it's effective anti spam engine), google maps and google docs (which pioneered shared docs. It feels outdated on many fronts now, but it was a pioneer).

+1 work - life separation is a must. And not everyone can afford a home office. Also isolation is a real threat.

Will call you old fashioned for that. I recently went to a restaurant with a large group of friends and they used toast tab for online ordering. The experience was much better than ordering in person. Each family was able to order and pay for themselves. We could add extra items to our order whenever we wanted.

Without the app I would've had to keep an eye for a roaming waiter, call them out and then place an order. This takes away from the dining experience. I also don't like to wait for the server to clear plates, take the card, swipe it and get it back. The old fashioned ways will disappear for good.

How do you send email or reply from the alias that you create?

Why do they come down to poop?

What’s dark fiber?

Anyone who's worked in "creative" field and has stepped in an art gallery would tell you that it's very normal to play on emotions, exaggerate and make viewers feel intense emotions. I don't know who the apology is meant for.

How did this become about immigration? A lot of americans would also do it for $20 an hour.

Gemini has been pretty helpful with search lately: https://g.co/gemini/share/2d4a0a1f497f

Lot of R&D, tech companies operate out of west. Improving tech in the west reduces the cost for the entire world.

From what I remember, they put a toilet in a clean white empty room, and flushed some ink. Then they looked how far the ink spots splattered. But don't quote me on this.

If it gains any traction, you'd be able to get a fairly decent Temu version in about 6 months from now for $30.

Off topic, but I've been missing CSS & JS warriors on HN, who'd make it a point to expose how a certain hero image on the landing site was 4MB big or expose the scandalous use of an outdated version of jQuery on a S&P 500 company's website.

It's naive to see religion as fairy tales. If used correctly, the tales are a medium of communication to instill values, discipline and morals in the masses.

tldr; In 1968, the U.S. Army tested a deadly nerve agent called VX. The nerve agent killed thousands of sheep grazing near the testing site. The Army denied responsibility for the deaths. The article also details other instances of the Army mishandling dangerous chemicals.

This guy must be fun at new year parties.
