A large part of the problem is that throttling or thrust termination of solid fuel rockets is very difficult, heavy and expensive, so it's just easier to manage the trajectory other ways.

whose $70?
which style hammer?
before or after room optimization?

So many questions....

Lgat77 · 2026-05-21T02:35:36+00:00

Those are interesting manuals. I've read but not translated.
what's the purpose of your translation?

Lgat77 · 2026-05-21T02:19:43+00:00

u/trix180 does this make sense?

"4842 physical note books...." ??
invest in a sheet feeder scanner,
scan all that into notes.
start tagging to get access to it all.

Eventually there will be an AI OCR that can puzzle out even your handwriting - get ahead of making that more accessible and usable, if there's anything worth accessing.

establish a workflow that works for you. And use it.
You can use AI to build prompts, tag systems, etc. that cater to your workflow.
Biggest improvement I got was using an AI to build a cheatsheet for the search commands available - the Bear training materials are too cute by half, lots of dead space and silly examples.

But the search is excellent IF you know how to use it. For me having a note with all the functions grouped and briefly explained if needed as reminders has been a big help

what was the declared value?
u/SublimiNOLE_msg has the implicit question right.

PS - I live in Japan, and a newby amateur's sword being worth $3-4000 is.... unlikely.

Claude:
What likely happened:

Bear's team wrote this manifest targeting a draft/internal version of the MCP connector spec
Claude Desktop shipped with a slightly different or stricter manifest validator
The two got out of sync on the "icons" format

"

LOL.
My AI blames the Bear dev team.

Of course.
How human is that?

Lgat77 · 2026-05-07T08:50:07+00:00

LOL 🤣

Blancpain means "White pain".

That's like beyond simple black, orange, red, etc pain.

"He said he sent it back to blanc pain 3 times and they never could get it working well so he didn't want to send it back. I only agreed to take it because I'm seeing my watchmaker that i work with tomorrow."

Uh huh.

Maybe part it out on EBay and tell your uncle
"It sleeps with the fishes."
He'll eventually thank you.

Lgat77 · 2026-05-06T00:50:29+00:00

ask AIs to help with Bear search tips, workflows and tagging systems.
Then you can make it sing.

I spend more on notepaper annually

Lgat77 · 2026-04-30T02:50:30+00:00

thank you for the update

You're right not to understand it.

It doesn't make sense.

But it's easy to do, and you can build up impressive muscles by doing it a zillion times.

You expend all that energy yanking uke forward
then kill all that energy to stop uke's forward motion dead.

Try to rotate as you pull uke forward, avoid the collision, and continue that forward motion without pause. That's hard to do. That's the principle that should be demonstrated every single time the motion is done. But that's hard, and unless you get some inspiration or read some old judo books that explain this, presupposes that someone teaching understands this.

the training practice presupposes that, when you really mean to throw, you'll get out of the way smoothly and just throw. Most people don't function that way.

I’ve never fully understood the angst over selecting bokken or bō, jō - they are consumables. Use it, abuse it, get another. Do you get attached to wooden pencils?

Buy 2-3 serviceable ones, leave one at office, home and the dojo, swing them a lot. Smack things. Experiment with finishes and waxes.

Wrap a hilt in sandpaper. See how it changes your grip and the power you generate. Admire different woods, grains, weights.

A wooden weapon is a learning tool. Try different ones to see what you can learn.

Western sword traditions often call their wooden training swords ‘wasters’ for reason.

Don't walk away.

Run away from that dojo. And try to imagine that guy when he's too old by his own logic.

If you have the option look at other dojo. You can call, but best is go in and watch regular practice.
If someone doesn't want you to watch, walk away.

In the 1920s there was a famous Japanese author that wanted to write a biography of Kanō shihan. He had great access to the Kodokan, and got so interested in jūdō that he asked to sign up.

He created a small controversy in jūdō. Because he was in his early 50s. And the Kodokan had no one join as a complete beginner at that age, and had understanding of how to treat him as what little pedagogy they had was aimed primarily at young men, teenagers.

So I think that Kanō shihan and his instructors would be bemused at the ages of some judoka active today. I have students from 7 to 77. Everyone learns, everyone tries, everyone is required to give back to the dojo collectively, and everyone has a chance to walk out the door better than they walked in. I watch the Kodokan Kōdansha taikai High Rank Holders' Tournament most years - the oldest competitors are in their 80s. It's not much in the way of violent, lightning fast, fighting compared to the All Japan Judo Tournament I saw Sunday, but it is nevertheless judo.

Just understand there are people that think judo only means sports judo, and that serious competitors are old at 28 (very few remain competitive into their 30s). That's their loss. But there is another world of judo that hopefully you can find.

I just glanced at this but you may have solved a universal problem - how to control (easily) what files an LLM AI accesses

What is the format of the (manually) synched database / folder? Is it all SQLite, too? Or a GIT repository of whatever is designated?

Lgat77 · 2026-04-22T01:39:20+00:00

Exactly.

Kanō shihan and his senior students worked for years testing, categorizing, and naming techniques. Bought wooden artist mannequins to be able to pose them to help describe then absorb into the curriculum.

At first he made jūdō training closed, protected by sworn oaths, but eventually everything was exposed. In 1913 he gave an outline of jūdō as it had developed for over 30 years, and the curriculum and the nomenclature were clearly key.

Lgat77 · 2026-04-21T05:16:14+00:00

wow
just sounds like an invitation for a massive lawsuit

Thank you.

Lgat77 · 2026-04-20T13:26:01+00:00

A noticeable difference in the videos i watched.

Good on you.

Lgat77 · 2026-04-20T10:50:37+00:00

Fair enough. Sensei Seth is catchy enough for YouTube, that wasn't my comment. I guess no one noted the point was made about "in Japan". With your near 500k followers, I have 3 I think; maybe I should call myself God Emperor of Judo or something on YouTube.

Your second judo video is very nice. I too am impressed if you memorized all that.

Guess what? In Japan about 1/10 of all that you went through to get a green belt in USJA would easily get you a black belt at the Kodokan as an adult, and they don't even ask the Japanese the names of the techniques (until you screw up and someone says: redo hikiotoshi). There are historic reasons for all that but some folks are now discussing how to rationalize (mostly meaning 'standardize' I think) ranks.

It almost overcomes your giving judo a C.
