🗣️ Alisson Becker: 'Three months after my father’s death, my son Rafael was born. For my wife and I, it was like hope was reborn. A light shone in our lives again. His name had a special meaning for us. It comes from the Hebrew, meaning “God has healed.” ⁠
⁠
Six days after Rafael was born, something happened that I still cannot explain.⁠
⁠
We were playing a crucial match against West Brom. We were fighting for our place in the Champions League, and we had to win that match. It was one of those days where it feels like nothing is working, and it was 1-1 with a few seconds remaining. As a keeper, you are just standing in your box in those moments, feeling helpless. ⁠
⁠
But then we won a corner. And our goalkeeping coach shouted for me to run up the pitch. There was nothing to lose. So I ran up the pitch as fast as I could, and I arrived in the box just as Trent was taking the corner. To be honest, as a keeper, you never, ever, ever think that you are actually going to score. ⁠
⁠
Just get into the box and create chaos. ⁠
⁠
The next thing I know, the ball is coming at my face. I flick my head and I fall to the ground. Then I am just surrounded by a warm glow. That’s the only way I can describe it. Everyone is hugging me. Thiago is hugging me and crying. Firmino is hugging me and crying and laughing at the same time. Mo is celebrating like a little kid, jumping up and down. I have never seen him so happy after someone else scored a goal hahaha!! Complete joy.⁠
⁠
It was almost more special that we were still playing in the empty stadiums, without the roar of the fans, because the only thing that I could feel was the love of my teammates, who had gotten me through the hardest time of my life. Our whole bench, the staff, and the kitmen were all cheering so loud that it felt like we were back in front of the Kop again. ⁠
⁠
I remember I looked up to the heavens, and it was one of those grey rainy days in England. But for me, the sky was filled with light. ⁠
⁠
I said, “Pai…. pai…..”⁠
⁠
It’s for you, Dad!'⁠

A MIT student figured out how to compress an entire semester of lecture content into one 90-minute study session.

He calls it "context stacking," and it's the most unfair thing I've seen done with NotebookLM.

I asked him to walk me through it. He did. I haven't studied the same way since.

Here's exactly what he does.

Two days before each lecture, he uploads everything into NotebookLM. The assigned readings, the previous week's slides, 3 or 4 related papers he finds himself, and any problem sets that are still open.

Most students wait for the lecture to explain the material. He walks in having already built a mental model of it.

That's step one. But it's not the move that makes it unfair.

The first prompt he runs across all of it:

"What are the 5 core concepts this week's content is built on, and how do they connect to what I studied last week?"

Not summarize. Not define. Connect.

NotebookLM pulls threads across everything he uploaded simultaneously. It surfaces relationships between ideas that would take a normal student weeks of review to notice. He gets that map before the lecture even starts.

Then he runs the prompt that does most of the work.

"What would I need to genuinely understand about this material to be able to teach it to someone with zero background in this subject?"

That question is doing something most students never force themselves to do. It exposes exactly where his understanding is solid and exactly where it's hollow. The gaps show up immediately, and he spends the rest of the 90 minutes filling only those gaps.

Not reviewing what he already knows. Only fixing what he doesn't.

The final prompt is the one that separates context stacking from every other study method I've heard of.

"What question could a professor ask about this material that would expose a student who understood the surface but missed the underlying logic?"

He's not studying for the exam he expects. He's studying for the exam designed to catch people who only think they understood it.

By the time he sits in the lecture hall, the professor is not teaching him anything new. The professor is confirming what he already mapped, filling in a few details, and occasionally surprising him with something he didn't anticipate.

That surprise is the only thing he writes down.

Most students leave a lecture hoping the material will eventually click.

He walks in with it already clicked, and uses the lecture to find out what he missed.

That's not a study hack. That's a completely different relationship with learning.

Day 24 of #100DaysOfCode in #Python:
Learned about files, directories and paths.
Created a birthday invite card where the program replace Dear "Name" with appropriate names of users.
Hence saving the repetitive task.

@assaniacodes Keep it up!❤️

[Sarang Shrikhande @SarangShr]

Day 22 of #100DaysOfCode in #Python:
Created the Pong game(two player). Learning to solve complex problems by breaking them down into smaller ones. The speed of the ball increases every time it hits the paddle making it more fun.

@Loriwilson_03 thanks mate!

Day 20, 21 of #100DaysOfCode in #Python :
Recreated the legendary snake game using Python.
The turtle module of Python has immense capabilities and I am patiently uncovering them one at a time. This was a task tho

[Sarang Shrikhande @SarangShr]

@eyetech2dev Thanks!!😁

[Sarang Shrikhande @SarangShr]

day 19 of #100DaysOfCode in #python:
created a turtle race using Higher order functions and Event listeners and turtle co-ordinate system where you can bet on which colored turtle will win the race.

[Sarang Shrikhande @SarangShr]

@CalebtheWood Hey thanks! Yes each turtle takes random step between 0 and 10 in the co-ordinate system.
move_forward = random.randint(0, 10)

Day 18 of #100DaysOfCode in #Python:
Created a million dollar Hirst painting using turtle module in python.

[Sarang Shrikhande @SarangShr]

Day 17 of #100daysofcode in #Python :
