Like firing portals while in midair, or catching a cube as you pass it during a jump.
On a positive note, I think I found her artistic portfolio online and it's absolutely beautiful. She can rest easy knowing she has 1000x the talent of the AI slop winner.
I wonder if it's only scraping english language Wikipedia articles?
The problem is, it was basically useless. The main use case for heart rate monitoring is continuously throughout the day/night, or during exercise. A watch is very good at this. An optical sensor on the back of your phone is not.
Periodically checking your heart rate by holding your phone in a specific way is not a useful feature for that many people.

Italy is basically a massive peninsula and some islands - it's quite humid! The humidity in Parma itself today is 65%, which is the same as Miami, Florida today and more than New Orleans. it's fall in Italy, and in Palermo it's 80% humidity, in Bergamo 84%, Bologna 83% etc.
I kindly invite you to visit the kitchens of undergraduate house-shares. I think you may soon appreciate there are "tragedy of the commons" situations happening all the time :)
Crime and Punishment alone is over 500 pages.
With 5 classes assigning a book each, that's 2500 pages a week, or 357 pages every single day.
I certainly did not read that much during my undergrad nor my master's degree.
"Twenty years ago, Dames’s classes had no problem engaging in sophisticated discussions of Pride and Prejudice one week and Crime and Punishment the next."
Reading Crime and Punishment alone is estimated to take about 11-12 hours at 300WPM. Then consider your average student is taking 4 or 5 classes per semester? If they all assigned that much reading, that would be 60 hours a week of just reading, not even including time to process what's being read, or write assignments, revise etc.
It really depends. For most software things, I'd prefer to have written documentation. If it's purely for reference, then yes I agree text is better.
For working on my bicycle or car, often I like watching videos because you pick up on little ways the pros make the jobs easier - for example, the steps might do a poor job of describing the angle and movement of tyre levers, but it's easily understood via video (just an example).
As a result, it can be a much richer experience when you are building skills as opposed to just following a checklist.
Except a gaming console, a laptop, a roku, apple TV...
Every single person I know has some external media source plugged into their TV, even my tech illiterate mother.
Turtling might be more viable in this game?
The compliment is a "foot in the door" so you don't immediately dismiss the email, and keep reading until the links.
I get the same type of comments on all my blog posts. Here's 2 examples directly from my blog:
"Awesome post! Keep up the great work! " (+ a link to their SEO service)
"Nice website, love the theme! Can I use it?" (+ a link to their WP service).
