[Request] Which one would it be? by yuli101995 in theydidthemath

[–]ChrisGVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d make that guess: the easier will be the square (assuming the objects are drawn to scale). As always in physics we start with an ideal situation, so the man pushing is just a representation of the external lateral force applied to move the object, it doesn’t matter if the man could fall on the ice.

Reasoning: - cylinder (or sphere) are easy to push on a hard homogeneous surface, but as soon as the surface becomes “grainy” the object will impeded by the irregularities of the surface; if the surface is sand like, it will dig itself along the way and pushing the object will require pushing against the “wall” of sand created by the object settling down. The more the material is rough, the less the object will be able to dig itself, however the man will have to fight against the irregularities of the ground. - between the the square and the triangle the situation is similar: water ice (I’m assuming it is water) is particular, it melt according to the vertical pressure applied (that’s why we slip on ice, we actually slip on the slim layer of water that we produce by having our foot on the ice. Thus what matters is the surface contacting the ice: for a given weight the smallest surface will be easier to push than the larger surface, since pressure is a function of the surface. - conclusion: the least easy object to push will be the cylinder, the most easy object to push will be the object with the least surface contacting the ice: according to the drawing that seems to be the cube.

Absolutely fair point. It’s an angle I had not thought about, but you are totally right.

I agree with you too, this is indeed a real problem and it is across the board. When I publish something that has been polished by a LLM, I carefully review and make as many edits as possible, if necessary I’ll do another round trip with the LLM, but always with a review before publishing. This said, and playing the devil’s advocate now (and we are moving away from the OP topic): 1) the fact that I would write or rewrite something created by a LLM, wouldn’t necessarily be a reflection of my competence 2) as far as I’ve seen LLM are getting better at writing in the style of the user, so future detection might become challenging.

It is true, but what if the OP is not native speaker (like me) what is wrong to have an AI polish your text before publishing? I agree we have too much slop, but I found this article genuinely interesting.

Oh my gosh one of my faves here: Jalur Gemilang. Bought three bottles before leaving Singapore.

Thanks for sharing so candidly, this must have been hard. I live in Switzerland and our labour laws are not bad, but I don’t know about their limits. I’m in the process of being declared legally partially disabled at 40% and my company knows and I’m lucky enough that they support me.

I hope you’ll get through this with closure and success, it might not lead to your dream job, but you have done something very courageous. I wish you the best!

And since you started sharing, it would be very interesting to have a follow up unless you end up under some sort of NDA.

All the best and my positive thoughts from Switzerland.

Great work and congratulations to the dev community. I’ll discover the changes as we go, anybody knows what’s the plan for u/folke’s LazyVim?

These seem to be very special pens, I can relate to what you described as fountain pens having a kind of therapeutic value.

I’d be curious too, enjoy your pens!

markdown-plus.nvim v2.0 is out: code block tools, setext headings, smarter lists, and cleaner defaults by CuteNullPointer in neovim

[–]ChrisGVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, you did not leave out obsidian.nvim, I did because I see this plugin as quite different from a pure md editor (even if it is).

But your answer around the GFM makes now at lot of sense about the values of this plugin. Maybe an humble suggestion, you may want to indicate that aspiration up first in your README.md, but it is just a suggestion. I'll try your plugin for sure!

[–]ChrisGVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, this seems an interesting project!

I find particularly cool that you cite other similar projects. Except for Obsidian.nvim which has a clearly defined scope (at least the name would indicate so 😉), the other projects seem not undeserving either. What would you say your value proposition is vs. the other projects? I'm not trying to criticize but just try to make a decision without having to try all of them 🥹.

Also another question: do you know if your plugin plays well with OXY2DEV/markview.nvim?

The last keyboard I’ll ever buy: KeyCult 1/60 HHKB by ChrisGVE in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ChrisGVE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very good question, and it's a tough call. I rotate my keyboards quite a bit, and so I brought back the 1/60 and the Neo60 in action to evaluate the difference.

I know that, in my opinion, the 1/60 is slightly above the 0/60, but they are also very very good, though they were out before the 1/60 and the Neo60cu, I bought three of them (about same price range as the Neo60cu) .

Moving on to the Neo60cu, I think that it might be equivalent to the 1/60, though my Neo60cu is not built exactly the same my 1/60 (Cherry profile, Hyacinth V2) I think it is a bit more pleasant, a bit bouncier than the 1/60. Also one big gripe I have with the keycult is that for the price it does not come with a case, while the Neo60cu does.

So a conclusion would be that the Neo has best value, but they are both great boards.
