TIL that the longest javelin throw was 99.52 meters using a now illegal technique that was considered "out of control". No one has broken this record with modern javelin rules.

I've spent some time reading the Wikipedia article looking for the relevant part, I guess I was 10 mins early (didn't get the chance to see your comment before that). Here's the (probably) corresponding video, the first video result when searching for the freestyle javelin technique, in case it helps anyone: https://youtu.be/52rvqtiBoow?si=RiLjhJG2ttv-0s1W

"Check All The Boxes" by Work Chronicles

I'm a manager, and this strip nicely brought out my main insecurities about the role. Thanks for pointing out that there are other things one may contribute with, despite losing (or never having) abilities in the three mentioned aspects. It's not easy to let go of depth, and exchange it for width and longer term thinking.

These days I'm highlighting one or two keywords per paragraph, so people who get scared by my extensive writing get to have some non-scary starting points. They say it's appreciated, but I'm still not sure how much is actually read...

The great thing about this is when it's your anxiety that prevents you from sleeping well. But if I can sleep (which normally means I can afford to "finish" my sleep and get enough hours after the 2.5 hours no-sleep interruption in the middle of the night), things are indeed better.

[paper] Evidence of a social evaluation penalty for using AI

This kind of work I find very important when talking about AI adoption.

I've been generating (the boring) parts of work documents via AI, and even though I put a lot of thought into my prompts and I reviewed and adjusted the output each time, I kept wondering constantly if people would notice the AI parts, and if that made me look either more efficient and 'complete' (we are talking about some template document where some parts seem to be designed to be repetitive), or lazy and disrespectful. Because it's for sure that my own trust in content and a person drops when I notice auto-generated parts, which triggers that I use AI in turn, and I ask it to summarise all that verbose AI generated content. I'm not sure that's how decoder-encoders are meant to work :)
