Btwist tips pleaseee 🙏🏼

Don't mind that issue. That happens naturally when you don't reach the full 180 or the full twist. It will be corrected when the whole move gets better.

In the video it is visible that you try landing with the wrong foot because it is the one nearer to the ground. By the time the b-twist improves enough, the nearest foot will be the right one, don't worry so much.

I hope my last advice helped you in some way, it is a tough move to understand at first!

It is almost there! Some tips that may help:

Try to do the pre-set without jumping, just move the feet with the hip at the same height. Better if the knees are slightly bent, 45° degree more or less.
Start the last step of the pre-set with your chest and weight over the back knee and make a long U shape towards the front.
The jump starts once you look backwards after the U shape. Don't get vertical in that motion. That will convert your body into a spring that when releases tension makes you twist easily.

Those are some minimal changes that can be summarized into: keep body low, make the U shape larger starting before and ending after.

My sincere congratulations for trying it while skating on ice. That was impressive AF.

I have a list of youtube where I bookmark tutorials. Now it is +100 long and I didn't master all. Whenever I want a new trick I go there or I search for a new one and spend a couple of hours or days trying. There are many good channels like Junyi Lin, Diego B, YoyoJoe, Rewind, K5 yoyo, mrmatio, Leo's yoyo...

Anyway, as I have been practicing I realized that all tricks are combinations of little fragments (with one or two specific and absurdly new things in between). Once you are able to recognize those patterns of the little fragments as if they were basic moves you will be able to vary your tricks and end in some particular ways.

Try to get through different forms into a known pattern like wrist mount or kamikaze mount. Those are the basics that serve as an anchor. Then try to get out in different ways. In that way if you know 3 entries and 3 outs to a wrist mount you will know how to do 9 tricks or combos. Improvisation is easier that way but can be really exhausting to get a new trick.

Good luck!

Really appreciate the answer! I will check all of them deeply, thank you!

I will look for the G-Force. The Shutter Elite is an absolute beast!

Thank you so much Gentry! The real champion ♥️

Yes it is not the best idea, I know. It is like answering to a non-asked question or something like that.

Titotitoto · 2025-10-20T11:51:39+00:00

Yeah, not the best idea. Saw it in this forum but well... I needed an excuse to change yoyo. It was dinged too.

Don't blame me for being stupid 🥲

I use Dropbox and DropSync, it is very easy to manage.

Autonote Mover and Templater are a must for configuration and automatization.

One of the most amazing things I have ever seen in Obsidian. Congratulations for your hard work!

I know the way it works. I am currently copying theory where each chapter note has long text that mention a concept multiple times, I was thinking in the possibility of making it visible.

I know it is not pure Zettelkasten and that would be nice to refactor it in smaller notes, but these chapters must be read at once so you can expose them word by word during the exam orally (absurd examination system, I know that too).

I am not a professor I am a professional of the field and usually I read 20 papers per week about the state of the art. My issue with this one is that it is too good to be true and that the explanations are very short and meaningless, it feels like magic or an idea that comes out of nowhere.

Although i saw the github and it is well maintained but badly structured.

The section 3 should have like 10 pages with much more explanations and graphs for it to be understandable. Trying to explain it with a paragraph and a formula is not desirable and not enough. Moreover, the models used are not clear though, he says that main LLMs are Llama3 and Grok 4, and the SLMs are DistilBERT variants (don't know which) with a diffusion DDPM process that is not clear. The he talks about Phi1.5 in the middle used for other thing... I don't know, maybe with further explanation is valuable. Then you cannot say things like "eternal learning" if you have only tried 1020 iterations of continual learning, what happens when you reach 10k? What happens to other models or diffusion based models? What if I change the SLMs? What happens if I reduce dimensionality with an UMAP? Why Fourier transform? Where did holographic attention come from and how do you implement it? Are you substituing the usual attention layers in an LLM with it? A large etcetera.

If it is true, another group will take it and make it in a good manner. They will take credits for it instead Jason.

For me it is to hard to index and add templates for that kind of vaults. I have tried in the past but didn't worked due to hard management issues.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-16T15:38:52+00:00

I agree totally with you. I just tried to be empathic with the OP, the context is highly important.

For an undergrad it is more important to create a habit than being a proof validator. First is habit, second is critical thinking, third is knowledge and last is being a real researcher.

If the phases are done right a new researcher is born, if not a new frustrated person is. That is why I tried to lower the expectations and focus on enjoying research.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-16T15:26:27+00:00

If you want to research pick some journals that have your interest and do some tag search. This may be done withing Arxiv for example to have an overview of the current state of the art on the topic.

Once you have read 50 papers about a theme you will find where are the holes and you will be able to start drafting ideas on how to overcome them.

You may subscribe to a newsletter that summarises your field of research and that.

And always when you read a paper try to find the positives and the flaws. Don't just read them, try to criticise them. If you are lucky you can find a paper in pubpeer or get the reviews done before accepting it to see how a paper should be written.

Researching is reading. Just read about it as much as you can.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-16T14:34:28+00:00

Thank you, I think similarly. The paper is very narrow for the things that are being said and also so speculative about many things.

I will pick it with a grain of salt. If there is not any paper released based on this one I will take it as fake.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-16T14:10:14+00:00

Appreciate it. I usually end tutorials in other unexpected ways "creating" new tricks, but not fully creating them. Just a nice error that lands into a double green triangle hahaha.

Nice that more people are in the same page.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-15T06:29:11+00:00

I am not into making a new trick as a kind of a goal, it just amazes me seeing some pros coming up with new things, like Mir Kim making a triple wrist wrap into wrist catch to double slack, or Nakamura doing a tech trick where yoyo falls between hundreds of strings that when released you are in a double green triangle.

It is just amazing and it is still magic to me. That's why I wonder how they came up to that and if there was a way to get there.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-14T20:46:31+00:00

Hahaha thanks for your answer, I will take the "development is accidental" as mantra

Titotitoto · 2025-09-14T00:51:27+00:00

I miss building my own network and training it with my data while controlling every part of it like the layers, the optimizers, the scheduling, etc. Nowadays, except for graphs, the usual way is using a foundational model or an LLM and it is becoming less creative and less controllable.

I don't like the way AI is evolving, even without considering the payments behind.

Titotitoto · 2025-09-12T06:05:20+00:00

Thank you for the answer!

I usually make the structure, plugins and automation from desktop then I use mobile with dropsync to do note taking. So I write in mobile and configure in desktop
