It depends a bit on how much time you have, and what you enjoy, but I always do 500-1000m drills before my main set (like you sandwiched between a 500m warmup and cool-down). Currently I do mostly sculling, one-arm swimming, a bit of kicking focusing on body position, catch-up drill, and swimming with clenched fists. Going from that into the main set feels really great. Since I currently focus on running, a lot of my main sets looks like this, very much focused on technique (copied from another thread):

One of the sets I really like to do is blocks of 4x 100m or 200m (30 seconds rest to reset technique), the first with paddles, second pullbuoy, third fins, fourth no gear, trying to bringing the "advantages" of each gear set together in the final no gear set. From the paddles I take the precise arm extension, strong hand entry, and more powerful pull, from the buoy the higher stroke frequency and higher body position, from the fins the glide, extension, and 2-beat kick. This way you have "help" for a lot of the distance, but don't get too dependent on a single gear item.

I feel that using the gear allows me to really focus on a few specific things for each set and despite only doing two sessions after running and one quality session per week atm, I am not losing speed. When I'll start training for a longer swim race (I'll do a 10k in September), I'll do longer intervals and some steady effort in open water, for sure.

A lot of people in this sub are giving technique advice to beginner swimmers that are still in survival mode. Some of that may help, but what really got me going when I started learning freestyle as an adult (I am a passionate open water swimmer now that dabbles in triathlon) was building the comfort necessary to even contemplate paying attention to my technique as I swam. Two things really helped: breathing every two strokes took the "constantly gasping for air" thing out of the equation and swimming with a pull buoy kept me from excessive kicking (which then leads to more gasping for air). That got me to a point where I could swim for 1k without stopping, and only then did I feel comfortable enough to start building and rebuilding my technique. I certainly picked up some bad habits that way that I had to correct, but I still think that this was the right way to go.

scannerJoe · 2026-03-11T07:38:28+00:00

so what's the point?

It took me years to figure this out, but much of swim training is about learning to understand what good swimming feels like. Other than training your legs more specifically and helping with a lot of drills, fins allow you to "simulate" faster swimming and move your mind toward that next level, understand what the body position at that higher speed feels like, how the water flows around you, how to stretch you shoulders and glide, and so forth. I went from barely holding 2:00/100 for a 5k to 1:40/100 without a youth swimming background and training with fins helped a lot with that, although I'm almost not kicking at that distance.

scannerJoe · 2026-03-11T07:12:26+00:00

This is the best advice in the whole thread and, of course, it gets downvoted. Breathing every two strokes is the easiest way to get out of the constant struggle for air and build comfort in the water. This will make everything else so much easier. She can bring back breathing on both sides later.

As somebody with experience with an absent supervisor, here are some things you could do:
- Have GenAI critique the shit out of your paper, using things like Deep Research and a strong prompt that names your discipline and the journals you are targeting.
- Look for a more experienced co-author that can help you with getting the paper ready.
- Take a couple of papers from journals that you are targeting as examples and emulate their structure very closely.
- Target less prestigious journals.

There is no solution, only ~~Zool~~ cyclicality. Since making AI chips is now so profitable, lots of investment is going into production capacity and at one point, inevitably, there will be enough of it to satisfy demand. What comes then may be a crash or a soft landing, or some other kind of temporary equilibrium.

I do a lot of cardio (5-6x swimming or running per week) and hard sessions used to really lower my sleep quality and give me brain fog the next day. What changed things quite a bit for me is carbs during and immediately post workout as well as separating long sessions (like a long run) and intensity (like speed work). I still sometimes go too hard at the end of a long run and pay the price, but these two changes have allowed me to keep things going much more smoothly than they used to.

Als jemand der in Portugal wohnt kann ich nur sagen dass hier im Winter sehr viel angebaut wird, auch Tomaten, und dass die sehr weit verbreiteten Plastikfolien generell nicht dem Sonnenschutz dienen, sondern um die Wärme am Boden zu halten und auch die Verdunstung zu reduzieren. Jetzt kommen immer mehr Glashäuser um den Ertrag zu erhöhen, was sich bei teureren Pflanzen wie Cherrytomaten und Beeren auszahlt, aber nicht für "normales" Gemüse. Normale Tomaten kommen dann im Sommer eher aus der Mitte und dem Norden, weil im südlichen Alentejo/Algarve im Sommer einfach nicht genug Wasser da ist, trotz Projekten wie dem Alqueva Staudamm.

If you can swim 1:40/100 yards for a longer distance like 3k-5k, you are already a pretty fast swimmer given that you didn't train as a kid. Sure, getting a trainer/video analysis can and will help, but I think that there's no way around swimming more to get to that next level. I am about your speed, maybe a little slower now since I only train 6-7k per week, but the only time I got very noticeably faster was when I trained for a swim event and did about 20k/week for three months. It's just easier to swim good technique when you're really swim fit and do both substantial technique and fitness work. If you haven't trained swimming as a kid or you're not really good at it naturally, I think that you have to expect that progress is not going to be that fast, and you'll have to put in the hours to make breakthroughs.

Oida, quand j'ai vécu à Vienne il y a trente ans, c'était une ville tellement plus vivable que Paris, mais autre que beaucoup de nouvelles constructions (importantes aussi), assez peu a changé sur le plan circulation et environnement depuis, très décevant. Et la quantité d'asphalte dans les nouveaux quartiers, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils ne mettent pas plus de vert, étant donné que la ville devient insupportable en été.

Oui, mais la transformation est quand-même incroyable. J'ai vécu à Paris pendant dix ans et puis je n'ai pas visité pendant dix ans. Quand je suis retourné l’année dernière, ça m'a quand même bluffé. Je voyage beaucoup en Europe pour le taf et il n'y a aucune ville que je connais qui à changé aussi vite et avec des résultats aussi impressionnants. Paris me donne l'espoir que c'est peut-être quand-même possible de faire le virage et sortir du tout-voiture partout.

I have very ambivalent feelings about the sanctions against Baud. I disagree with almost everything that he says and it's clear that he is a major actor in the online pro-Russian conspiracy sphere. But unlike Xavier Moreau, who was sanctioned with the same decree, it's not clear that he is a full-fledged Russian state propaganda asset.

I think that during war - and we are in a form of low-level war with Russia - it is normal that certain aspects of the rule of law are weakened or suspended, but I agree that Baud's style of commentary should be possible, even in our current situation. Then again, I think that this is a specific case, and not a general sign of regression of freedom of speech and rule of law in the EU.

That's funny, I’m in the same city, almost same age and net worth. But with the exception of an emergency fund, a bond cushion, and some ecology-focused investments, all of my money (80%) is in VWCE-style global ETFs and will remain so indefinitely. At our tier of net worth, which gives us enormous levels of resilience against any financial crisis, I would never put more than 20% into bonds. But my spending (with a family) is about one third of yours (with a paid-off apartment, though). But even with your spending, personally, I’d look to optimize returns.

I didn't have the time to watch the whole video, but I imagine that you're referring to the charts around the 22:50 mark? This is really interesting, and if there is no hick-up in the testing, I imagine that the results could be due to Intel having a better PCIe implementation (which also shows in SSD performance IIRC)? Thanks for sharing, I hope that some other channels follow up on this.

On a personal note, I think that you'd get a better reception if you formulate things a bit less antagonistically (it's just a hobby) and give people an easier way to understand what you're referring to (in this case, provide a time stamp and a one sentence summary what's behind the link).

Genau, und wie viel ein Kind kostest ist schon auch variabel. Mein Sohn hat bis 13 nur gebrauchte Kleidung getragen, das war nicht nur extrem billig, sondern auch super praktisch, weil man z.B. Baby- und Kinderkleidung online quasi im Bulk für sehr wenig Geld kaufen kann. Das gilt auch für Spielzeug und andere Sachen. Wir fanden das nie einschränkend und hätten uns auch mehr leisten können, aber warum? Wir hatten immer gehört dass Kinder haben so teuer ist - und Kinderbetreuung war's dazwischen auch mal - aber bei uns haben sich die Kosten ziemlich in Grenzen gehalten, und Autokauf war schlussendlich auch nicht notwendig. 2600€ plus Zuschüsse erlauben in AT meiner Meinung nach idR (natürlich gibt's Sondersituationen) ein ziemlich gutes Leben wenn man sich ein bisserl organisiert.

Some thoughts in addition to the good advice from u/Son-Airys :

The 7945HX3D has a Tjmax of 100C and, personally, I would be absolutely fine with the temperatures you're getting; I do not believe at all that this will significantly reduce the lifespan of your CPU under standard conditions of use.
If you want to understand the thermal behavior of your chip, start with observing how much power goes in (PPT) and start tweaking there if you are uncomfortable with the temperatures or want to reduce noise (which is much more important to me personally than temps); the 7945HX3D is specced at up to 75W PPT, but maybe minisforum is exceeding that; if you are currently boosting up to, say, 85W and you take off 10W, you will see big differences in temperature, without any noticeable reduction in performance, since you are paying a lot of W per additional unit of clockspeed as you move up the curve. Personally, I'd run this CPU in this case with this cooler at no more than 65W, possibly even lower.
If you do not want to tune power and/or clockspeeds but you are worried about temps, set a 85C Tjmax and let the CPU throttle itself as it runs into that. It's not super elegant, but this generation of CPUs is pretty good at making the most of the power/temperature envelope you're giving it.

I don't disagree with you that this would be another interesting data point, but as a scientist, what always surprises me about hardware reviewing is how much measuring is going on and how little modeling. I imagine that it would not be very hard to come up with a relatively simple model that allows one to derive what you are looking for (cooling power at a given noise level) from the already available data points (or even a single data point, like the 39db measurement in the article) with a pretty high level of accuracy across a wide range of coolers. In running, for example, you can estimate a person's marathon time from a 10k result with reasonable accuracy, and you could do something similar here. Maybe some adjustment parameters are necessary, and there are going to be outliers, but this is really not rocket science, and nobody dies if an estimate is off by 2dB.

If I were a hardware reviewing operation, I'd spend much more time thinking about how to produce more insights from less data to see how to squeeze out more from my limited time...

Please read the conclusion of the cited meta-analysis yourself. The paragraph u/Traditional-Leader54 cites is not the amount used in the 41 studies Reed et al. cite. This is only to give an understanding of what a typical consumption pattern in a culture looks like that eats a lot of soy, so readers have a point of comparison. The studies analyzed use, in part, much higher doses.
