Desiderata. Arguably one of the best poems ever.

An Indian institute filmed a professor teaching classical physics with no notes, no slides, and a green board. Almost nobody outside India watches it.

This is Classical Physics, lecture 1, taught by V. Balakrishnan at IIT Madras, published free by NPTEL, India's national open courseware programme.

Balakrishnan taught at IIT Madras for decades. Students who sat in that room describe the same thing: the whole subject held in his head, delivered in order, no paper on the podium.

Lecture 1 is the introduction. What classical mechanics claims, where the claims hold, and the exact points where they stop holding and quantum takes over.

Watch how he speaks. Complete sentences, no filler, each idea finished before the next begins. Rare in any lecture hall on any continent.

A physicist I know worked through the whole NPTEL series and rates it above the western courses he paid for.

Free on YouTube, 17 years online, low resolution, no marketing.

The teaching was never concentrated in the famous universities.

Seriously, how the hell did Tosin make it as a professional footballer? The guy is 6’5 yet he never wins a header. Horrible passer of the ball. Zero stamina. Terrible positioning.

How, man? Get this guy out of my club.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

@OkoroMiracle15 @OnganicM @slightlysus1 @GothamChess He asked you a question. Who do you think are the best?

[ASHY @AshyJMB]

@JessOFProf @Blaugrana6988 @HansMokeNiemann I think your statement defeats the argument you’re trying to make. According to you, he was out prepped, yet the best advantage Fabi had all game was +1. He plays the best moves almost every time. That’s a dangerous player that will certainly defeat Gukesh.

@Brav_619 @CFC_Dubois 1-0 will put City under a lot of pressure throughout the game, and we don’t want that. We need them to be full of confidence for the rest of the season. I’ll be happy with a 3-1 loss😊

[ASHY @AshyJMB]

All this guy does is cringe-post and trash talk online. He admitted in the documentary to cheating earlier in his career. You can’t fully blame them for doubting you when you put in an otherworldly performance.

Prove them wrong by winning a single tournament at least.

[Hans Niemann @HansMokeNiemann]

Most people would be excited that chess made it to Netflix, especially to participate. Hikaru and his collaborators aren’t used to criticism, they couldn’t control the narrative. Notice how neither Magnus or Hikaru have said they won’t watch the doc. They don’t want to publicise their lies and deceit.
