For instance, it is true that the main goal of a presentation at a conference is to test and improve ideas before sending them to publication, by showing them to a specialized audience. But, congresses are also (very importantly) about networking and PR, and making yourself known in the field. A conference brings together specialists in a subject, who will be future editors, reviewers, and professional contacts in general.

I tell my students things like:

- Whenever you can, ask (pertinent) questions. This is important beyond helping the speaker, it is also a way of advancing your own career.

- Think about possible questions while listening to the presentation instead of waiting until the talk is over to start thinking about what to ask.

- If possible, raise your hand as soon as the q&a session begins. At some conference sessions there is little time for questions, and some members of the audience who want to may not get to ask.

- Even when that is not the case, you can help avoid a moment of silence right after the talk has ended, which (as a speaker) can be uncomfortable. The worst outcome for a speaker is for nobody to engage.

- It is useful for the speaker to hear many different questions and points of view. Do not give parallel presentations in the questions. Questions should be concise and to the point. Formulating your question should not take more than a minute.

It's a Pokémon-style minigame. Past HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30656961

GUI here:

This is something I originally built for my students when I was teaching logic at the University of Buenos Aires (I have now moved to philosophy of science).

I had planned to add some commercial features like paid courses — and even developed a good part of it — but I got caught up in other projects (plus, it didn’t seem particularly profitable), so it’s been sitting idle for a few years.

I figured I'd finally share it to see what reaction I get, if any, and whether there's any interest in me adding that kind of functionality.

PS. TAUT is based on my open-source logics library (https://github.com/ariroffe/logics), which runs in the browser via Pyodide. The site is currently hosted on a $5 VPS, so hopefully it won’t get hugged to death.

PhD Philosophy researcher & software developer from Argentina, with a strong background in mathematical logic. Looking to transition from academia into a fullstack web dev role, in search of new challenges. I am mostly self-taught in the programming world, so you may consider me a junior developer, but I can research and learn new technologies quickly.

From the classics I'd also recommend Hume. The "Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" is short, very well written and argues, among other things, that causality is an illusion :)
