Author here: funny you should mention that! Same idea has been on my mind for years at this point. To me, the holy grail of sports training is to have simple but powerful enough mo…

Thinking back, I should also add: if you're interested in how hard a single hit is, then yes joules! I'm approaching it as a workout, where you're doing dozens of hit. Good idea to…

I didn't look into or find any myself, but "power meter enabled" sports like cycling, rowing, etc. have a way to measure the strain/fatigue of efforts relative to the athlete's fit…

100% agree. And the issue with med-ball slams is they also can just be dropped in a testing setting, and the only power needed to be generated is on the "up" cycle. I wouldn't even…

Both are needed, but for an athlete watts is by far the more useful feedback for training, and following the intended stimulus of workouts. As a workout, "bike 30 km" is vague and …

Aye, author here. Pleased it's getting visibility ofc, but ABSOLUTELY not expecting to get traction this early. Please pardon the AI-generated placeholder images and some of the te…

2m is too small

uv's pip interface is like dipping one toe in the bathtub. Take a minute and try on the full managed interface instead: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/dependencies . Y…

My Samsung computer monitor is also the stuff of nightmares. Same story: useless "smart" UI features. I'm told I can use it as a dozen different things. But it sucks as a computer …

Fine tuning was never really hard to do locally if you had the hardware. What I’d like to read in an article like this is more details into why they’re making a comeback. Curious t…

> When did people start hating node You're kidding, right?

Same comment as above. From your article: > there are some underlying factors skewing these results, such as: > * grammar schools are more likely to be single-sex > * co-educationa…

I'm not familiar with the Australian education system or this study's design, but at first glance, this quote >The report, commissioned by the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasi…

The amount and extent of data that is available out there by brokers for purchase by literally any company is *mind-boggling*. However bad you think it is, multiply that by 10.

I hate the idea of MCP servers being their own OAuth providers and IMO I wouldn't use this. MCP servers just shouldn't have to handle OAuth user management. The only reason Postgre…

According to that link that's for dispersible form (gas, powder) – it's up to 7kg in solid form ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love his series, but you really have to keep in mind that his testing methodology is "reductionist": a microphone's quality can't just be distilled to its EQ response. Phase, trans…

That’s great, but would love to hear samples to see if it’s any good!

In this analogy, the AI hardware is not the public good – the AI models are.

After an innovation phase there is an implementation phase. Depending on the usefulness of the innovation, the integration with existing systems takes time. It is calculated in yea…

Here's a thought experiment. Think back on how that statement would have sounded like to past-you, 3 years ago. You would probably have dismissed it as bullshit, right? We've gone …

OK that’s neat but boils down to “here’s a cool game”. I was expecting a double blind study that measures some concentration metric vs a placebo intervention.
