Kandel is superb but it's written for grad students and advanced undergrads with a solid biology foundation. A typical undergrad neurosci textbook would be an easier start for a non-biology person.
Watching videos serves a diferent role than interactive b/c you get to take in audio and visual together, which _can_ support a higher bandwidth learning(depending on quality of the video). Also, for unfamiliar subjects, it’s useful to be exposed to the concepts and constructs first so you can build a mental scaffoliding that supports the details. Speech seems to be a better medium for that.
Interactive, like other info sources that present info linearly and in high detail are much less efficient, but allow you to learn the ‘doing’ aspect that a video would not.
But I am curious about what you’ve made. How has the reception for this type of info product been so far?
On average I'd say we get a 50/50 split between folks who like the doing/challenge aspect of it, vs those who wished there was more "consuming" type of content, e.g vidoes/text
It’s still pretty early days(first version should be available in about a week) but I would love to find anyone out there interested in using voice as part of their work flow, there are a few different directions it could go in terms of features.
It’s an open world survival craft game set underwater on an alien world.
The basic gameplay mechanics of diving underwater, having limited oxygen, light and time create an immersive baseline experience. It’s scary, exciting, and fun.
The core gameplay loop is about exploration, and as you advance and get better equipment and vehicles the experience of gameplay qualitatively advances too which is satisfying.
As you go deeper and farther away you find so many beautiful alien biomes and terrifying creatures. The game provides equal parts wonder and terror.
slight spoiler warning
As you play longer, there is an incredible story that is ‘hidden’ within the game. To me it came as a surprise, like a great plot twist in a movie.
Was just searching for something like this and considering rolling my own after a couple of strike outs(logflare and logpush/r2). Looking forward to giving it a try!
For context, this project is a smallish backend(~10 endpoints) running on CF workers with a low volume of logs.
The goal for now is to get something basic working, since cf workers don't log by default and I need to track down a bug.
These assessments were made quickly, so they may not be accurate, but here they are anyway:
Logflare -
A js client library (https://github.com/Logflare/winston-logflare) has 2 high vulnerabilities, still uses commonjs imports in the example, last update 3 years ago. The latest tweet in the testimonials section of their home page is from 3 years ago. They were acquired a few years ago, so is the product just moldering? Or maybe they are just focusing on working with Supabase? In either case, not great for my case.
Log Push - I got this set up, but the logs were in a unknown binary format(or corrupt?). Even if is was working, the logs would be in R2, without great support for query/search/presentation etc. Not sure exactly what the problem is, but the feature feels a bit new/beta and the "upside" is kind of low.
