25MB.. Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

Or, short of that.. If you're whistleblowing on Boeing, you should go to Airbus and Lockheed and tell them, "it's in your best interest that I stay breathing".

For the uninitiated

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

Nah. He'll just claim the trophy for himself. And second and third place while he's at it.

To be fair, I'm all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don't need visuals. It is what it is, and I'm not in a position to judge.

But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.

For the older people like myself that don't understand why everything needs to be a 5-minute video, here's a 15-second read:

Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning) is a type of learning that happens subconsciously.

Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was the first to show the way in which it works. He did this in an experiment using dogs. Pavlov noticed that the dogs naturally salivated when they saw food. He paired this unconditioned stimulus (showing food to the dogs) with another, neutral stimulus: the ringing of a bell. Pavlov discovered that, if the two stimuli are presented together again and again, the organism learns that they belong together.

Or maybe they just thought it'd make a cute, silly family photo

There was an old lady who's an expert on these things. Perhaps she's still alive

What a bunch of psychopaths.

No sane person uses m.d.yy date formatting.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

I really don’t know the Scottish English

If you think American v. British are at 80-90%, Scottish is around 30% and that's being generous 🙂
