Sidenote: the "telescopic zoom" feature of the website is very interesting and __useful__. It's amazing to see how one can still bring innovation to blogs/personal websites!
It's interesting to see in the post that the reading experience in the web page highly contrasts with the one in the eReader.
The website shows 15 words in the first line (10 in mobile). The eReader shows 6 words in the first line. In my own experience, I found that 6 word per line is the optimal number for comfort. (age thing? maybe)
Did the company fix the high friction between any service and their models' API?
I hope so. It seems mind boggling to me that an user needs to surf around different sections (plural) of google cloud console, then this Vertex and do a dozen clicks to issue a simple key.
You can use the Gemini API which is independent of the more complex Vertex AI API. Not sure whether you still have to visit the Google Cloud UI for some things (like billing) though.
A product itself has no needs. Users do. Governments have a kind of "need" in the form of legislation. Managing those two kinds of needs is hard enough.
A contracts management platform for the events industry in Brazil. WhatsApp has turned communications chaotic between vendors and customers across the event's lifecycle. Both parties suffer from not having a single version of the truth about what is promised to the event. The product helps in that sense.
A human capital platform that helps companies comply with Brazilian labor laws in regards to time control via punch clocks. It also helps managing contractors and freelancers.
Looking for a publisher to my first book "The Least You Must Know About Computers to be Free". A sci-fi technical novel about open hardware, FOSS, cryptography, AI and Bitcoin. It aims at teens and young adults.
Raising my two teenage children. (hardest project)
I agree. And it gets better with age as you won't care too much if it works on the street or not; you'll have acquired better tools like firearms and good lawyers to defend yourself.
Judo and Aikido founders were pals in the military. Those schools were all connected at the time and were complementary. What we see today is a kind of a "commercial struggle" between different schools and martial arts for $tudents. I practiced judo and BJJ as well throughout my life, and that wasn't an issue. I see that the ideal practice for anyone could be an MMA having the self-defense and the non-competitive healthy side of things. We don't see that mindset around.
Judo and Aikido founders were pals in the military. There is a handful of koshi nague throwing techniques that are identical in both schools, and are done without any of uke's momentum.
Citation? They were contemporaries who knew of each other and apparently respected each other, including having students cross train across the test disciplines. I didn’t find anything saying they were military buddies.
OP here. Lots of comments from non-aikidokas. Interesting and unexpected to me.
The thing about "throwing himself" is pure self preservation that advanced students acquire with time. It looks nice on public demos, but you can practice the same techniques slowly in a way that the partner feels grounded, unable to create momentum. In those cases, the partner will feel a lot of pressure on their limb/join or back. Do that to beginner students and you'll see their eyes pop-out in desperation because the pressure is too great and don't even know they can tap to ease down.
In advanced practice, if you don't do self-preservation, you'd end up with snapped tendons, broken collarbones, toes etc. If you are already injured, you have to tell your partner in advance "I can't roll today. Don't project me." or "Don't apply the elbow lock", and so on. So you won't see great projections either.
Those are the details you can't imagine just by watching videos; you've got to be in the mat. It's like me watching fishing videos. To me, fishing can't be anything more than: throwing bait => pulling line.
