impressive but mental abacus usage is really funny to watch

14-year-old Aaryan Shukla from India, last month broke the world record for the Fastest time to mentally add 100 four-digit numbers - 30.9 sec 

Leaves you dazed &amp; bewildered.

Congratulations Aaryan! 

I’ve seen some videos before of kids using this technique where the hands are… https://t.co/XvOBU6vmC1

many of these humanoid robot companies might go kaput after a while…

atleast these attempts will generate information about what works

any open source community project hosted on github has this risk

one of the reason linux kernel development is not done on github

The release of Organic Maps is delayed, because @github has unexpectedly banned one of our contributors without explanations, and doesn’t reply to support requests. It’s time to think about a better platform for open-source and privacy-friendly products.

I'm a Builder-Decentralist (-8.9, -4.5) on the Onchain Alignment Chart! Check out your position:

maybe the cost of “move fast and break things” is the risk of innovation game turning into innovation theater

the chinese companies are so far ahead in the IoT wifi/ble + other protocol microcontrollers game with great open source software ecosystem

arm assembly has easier to read for me, riscv not so much. Hopefully I will feel more at home in riscv assembly soon

Fitness

the fact that a 5k only burns like 300 calories is a fundamentally unfair truth of being human

From an evolutionary survival standpoint, being able to run for 25 minutes in exchange for only 300 calories is actually a pretty good deal!

Space

Turns out Musk's starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month and each one produces 30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer and these oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016👍

seems the entire chinese software industry is all in on open-source, all the way from low level embedded libraries to the AI stack.

recently some of the best embedded libraries for riscv and arm cortex-m I have come across are from china with liberal licenses like MIT etc
