It's more for entertainment + surrounding discussion + community, the last two more relevant for academic conferences.

Reframing suggestions very welcome.

...to make my talks more memorable, and it works, but it feels insincere to the content itself.

One of my supervisors suggested today that it's like, most people only watch a movie once. And I realised similarly for e.g. music/theatre performances, etc.

Interestingly enough...

I realise you mean well but I find this kind of rhetoric (both the quote and the blog post) useless and pessimistic due to their over-generalising.

My answer is: either find the right angle, or find different people (e.g. the quieter ones) to convince.

Unfortunately I generally find that these kinds of people really need a "big negative consequence to something close to them" for it to actually click for them. Can't debate them at the theoretical level because their worldview is too small.

May the rest of your week get better!

I feel this.

The only thing that helps me so far is preplanning things in advance so that by the time I have to do it, my brain will have already processed the anticipation or gotten past the 'not-wanting-to-do-it tantrum'.

Ideally I also have body-doubling company, but that's a premium right now.

I'm definitely hoping the features are transferred to another format as you suggest! Programming-wise it seems very trivial to implement these additional features because it's just HTML rendering of text as far as I can see.

Will be interested to see if there's any formal announcement, links to community observations:

It baffled me so much that a lot of readily available SVM tutorials/descriptions are rather surface level whilst having an optimisation background meant my understanding + curiosity made me want to understand more of the underlying mathematical processes.

Products? None come to mind.

There's definitely a fair amount of 'attempting to minimise cognitive load' in my own personal life, though e.g. meal prepping breakfasts, because I'm not a morning person. Hence the idea 😅

I'd say if it's easy enough to chip away at migrating onto your own stuff faster I'd work on it, but for me answering that question depends on readily available alternatives for when one thing goes under. If there isn't and you've got time/energy, then it's worth building an alternative.
