I think Xenophon's Anabasis is an excellent treatise on leadership and crisis management, and his Hellenica is also a great look at the sources of and risks to moral authority.
I think the key part of the UX there is the instant pop-up visibility of the linked comment when you hover over it. Navigating between comments seems like the biggest barrier for most users, where even the extra couple seconds to find out what the person is replying to may be enough to deter someone's interest. And if you accidentally click the wrong place or hit back too many times, it's easy to lose your place.
>after [reaching 291 lbs], had to consume an 800-calorie-per-day diet to maintain his weight.
>A more recent study aims to explain and interpret the findings
The lengths highly educated individuals go to to explain away obvious fibs. A 300lb person only eats one small meal a day and doesn't lose weight? Come on!
He probably wouldn't have been paid anything, someone else would have been chosen at random to be bumped off. This way the burden shifts to whoever it's least inconvenient for.
If you’re watching a single subject of interest video on your phone (TikTok type of content), it’s great. But landscape videos is more pleasant and there’s a reason we move from 4:3 for media. But that actually means watching the videos, but what I see is a lot of skipping.
>And poverty reduction in China could have happened with less damage to workers in rich countries if Chinese policies caused it to save less of its national income, allowing more of its manufacturing growth to be absorbed at home.
Isn't it more relevant to look at the individual savings vs. investment of the countries which were "damaged," and the policies which encouraged that? I also don't see how that's an argument against free trade, putting up barriers to trade wouldn't encourage saving.
I think the Duolingo approach has proven pretty successful, breaking things down into very small pieces with lots of encouragement and practice. Certainly it's a challenge to apply it to other subject areas, especially if you're trying to teach software that the student has to open up separately and use, but it's not impossible. It just takes an enormous amount of work structuring and optimizing the questions, UX and learning sequence.
The neat thing about this speed though is you can flip through the seeds quickly. Seed 626925 is giving me a fish holding some kind of gun, with what I guess are leather gloves. This has always been the main problem with SD imo, it can't really parse sentence structure so adjective descriptions often don't affect the thing you want.
Yeah, I like the speed of the renders. It feels relatively smooth.
OP's post to me feels like a marketing post where the output image is a really close representation of the product they hope to sell. We always called these types of things "carefully selected, random examples", in short they are cherry-picked for their adherence to a standard.
In that same vein mine is also a carefully selected, random example of the output you get when the algorithms don't work well, therefore the "Needs work" qualification.
Both are useful since you need to understand the limitations of the tools that you are employing. In my case I stepped thru animals until I found one that it could not render accurately. It did know that a coelacanth is a fish but it couldn't produce an accurate image of one. Then I added modifiers that it could not place in context.
It's a bit like searching the debris field of a tornado for perfectly rounded debris particles and holding those up as a typical result without mentioning that you end up having to ignore all the splintery debris scattered from hell to breakfast around it.
Panettone, "Tony's bread." Or at least that's what my Italian acct. prof. insisted. Interestingly the Italian wiki entry is a lot longer than the English one and references this apparent urban legend.
-one, -ona, found also in several English loanwords from Italian, often via French: minestrone (< minestra 'soup'); provolone cheese (< provola 'a kind of cheese'); cartone (< carta 'paper') appears in English carton and cartoon; balloon (this may have been formed in Italian, though the usual form is pallone, or in French)); milione 'million' (< mille 'thousand');
Most wine is stores, or transported in this way at some point in its life. Most blends are blends from multiple vineyards, and are transported in big metal tanker trucks with plastic lining. Some are transported in big 500 gallon plastic totes. In my limited knowledge, only pretty high end wines are made by only ever touching oak barrels and glass bottles.
The plastic should not impart any taste directly, but it would expose the wine to oxygen. This is a factor that bulk producers take into account when formulating their wines.
