Ask HN: Anyone else having a hard time following sports events?
Hey all
I have come to realize that there are no good all-in-one applications to notify me of sports events that I like to follow! Till now I had been either manually adding matches to google calendar with notifications (not to mention that for the matches that were usually at night, I had to setup separate day notifications for them) or pretty much downloading separate apps to follow when events related to that sport were about to happen.
I have come to a conclusion that there might be some scope for development here and want to validate if anybody else would be interested in an application to solve something like this? Basically, I have been thinking about working on a mobile app where you choose your favourite sport at setup time (can further narrow down to maybe teams if need be) and it would notify you when a game related to that sport is going to come up. It would also keep track of your timezone, so when the game is at night in your local time, it would notify you a couple hours earlier, just so you can attend it if you want to.
All that said, do you thinks it a worthwhile problem to solve? If yes, would you be interested in paying for it? Any and all feedback is welcome.

Note: It's probably not the biggest problem to deal with but personally, having an application like that will probably save me a couple of hours every now and then XD.

I'd like no road at all, please. A street (and a bike lane) will suffice.
The way USB-C works with adapters to legacy USB (USB-A and USB-B) is brilliant. Unlike in USB-C, in legacy USB the power roles are fixed: the USB-A socket and USB-B plug provide power (source), the USB-A plug and USB-B socket receive power (sink). A USB-C to legacy adapter always has a USB-C plug (never a USB-C socket), and one of these four legacy alternatives. If the legacy end of the cable is one which receives power (USB-A plug or USB-B socket), the USB-C end has a pull-up resistor to that power on the configuration pins, indicating to the USB-C device that this cable provides power; if the legacy end of the cable is one which provides power (USB-A socket or USB-B plug), the USB-C end has a pull-down resistor to ground on the configuration pins, indicating to the USB-C device that this cable requests power. The USB-C device only connects its power output to the socket when it sees that pull-down resistor, so the power supplies will not be shorted together if the cable always provides power to it. And the only thing necessary for an adapter, or for an USB-C device which only receives power, is a pair of resistors.

And this explains your scenario: in the USB-A plug to USB-C plug case, the cable always provides power on the USB-C plug; in the USB-C to USB-C plug case, the device on the other end will only provide power when it sees the pull-down to ground, which should be provided by the device, and in your case is probably missing.

YoY inflation for the US:

Jun 22: 9.1%
Jul 22: 8.5%
Aug 22: 8.3%
Sep 22: 8.2%
Oct 22: 7.7%
Nov 22: 7.1%

The only way I can understand your comment is if you are confusing inflation (change in price level) with price level itself.

Inflation is slowing down and has been for months.

And then the whole notion of the collapse is not really compatible with relativity.
I don’t think the EU minds the US having access to EU biometric data as long as citizens choose to give it to the US directly. To have them lift it out of our databases without any manual actions seems ridiculous.
It's time to fire the CEO.

Musk is like the Manager who brought a club from 3rd division to the Premier League, but he was paid spectacularly and the club doesn't owe him nothing more than a fair handshake and a great send-off with a guaranteed spot in the club HOF.

It's time to thank him and bring in an adult who can guarantee a top-4 Champions League spot consistently season after season, otherwise the club will follow the manager on his descending arc down to 3rd Division again.
Theoretically you can mount rclone to a local directory, but realistically it doesn't work because in the absence of serverside borg it is very heavy on network IO and slows to a crawl, even for sshfs over a short physical distance. To use it remotely, you really need to have borg installed on a server. I currently do as you describe.
I do not keep files on my devices, unless they are in the queue for viewing/reading/listening. I know that any time I need anything - it is couple of clicks away on some torrent site. I will need to setup a torrent proxy some day if I decide to move to jurisdiction where ISPs are actively spying on their customers on using torrents (I heard a thing or two about Germany, for example). I am okay with that, as I am okay now with having couple of personal VPN exit nodes in countries where services want you to have a local IP address. Internet fragmentation is a fact, but not a very bothersome yet.
On subscriptions…They tried some paying mechanism already, and I think Linkedin ate their lunch before they had a chance to try other low hanging fruits.

Subscriptions work when either the user makes money from pushing the content, or actively wants the content they’re provided. On the former, boosted spam has already been implemented, ultra targeted ads are another form of this, and stalking users to push private messages to them is already Linkedin’s bread and butter.

On the latter, the issue is of course that the “content” (people’s post) isn’t and won’t be worth paying for in general. I won’t be paying to read my relatives bickering about stupid issues. Random people’s funny takes and viral jokes will be spread on other networks so paying for it won’t make sense either. I’ll subscribe to my favorite novel, manga or tv show, or check a well put newsletter or podcast. None of that has a place on the blue app.

Facebook at this point has a very specific niche, and trying to get out of that niche either puts it in competition with better/less toxic/griftier services, or canibalizes other meta products. In that sense pushing facebook in a completely new direction is a tall order. If a PM had a crazy novel idea, they’d better execute it in Instagram or a completely new product than have it get beaten to death in facebook.

> haters

I was following a bunch of very talented and idea prolific designers and engineers working at facebook. IMO they haven’t left HN or Twitter or the public place. They left facebook instead.

I envy you. You're either incredibly lucky, or Germans are really law-abiding.

Here in Poland, the sticker that forbids advertisements does jack all. The post office might stop delivering spam, but most of the garbage in my mailbox comes from private individuals, hired by local companies, delivering the spam personally.

Call/SMS spam dropped somewhat thanks to GDPR, though I've experienced a uptick in the past few years, primarily driven by cryptocurrency scammers and fly-by-night companies selling photovoltaics. I do get an extra amount of phone spam, because I had a business and my phone number is listed in the business database.

Note that I do consider first-party (as in, from companies I have relationship with) cold calls as spam and scam too. Telcos in particular are notorious for scamming people - at this point, there is not much of a difference between scams discussed in this thread, and technically legal upsells and bullshitting done by my phone operator.

(They're not that better off-line, either. Only few weeks ago, a sales rep from a high-profile salon tried to scam my grandmother, by deceiving, manipulating, outright lying and using psychological pressure tactics, to get her to sign for a TV and Internet service she doesn't want or need. That happened physically, in the salon, when she went there to take over my late grandfader's phone contract.)
Can you restate? Are you saying "cannot exist in public view" and "cannot exist in practice" are not really the same?

Which one intends to protect what they love, and what is "what they love?"

Not all conservatives, but lots of them don't want trans people to exist.
Most infrastructure relies on software as well. I mean just look at the Southwest kerfuffle for a current example

Are you referring to that time that United dragged a doctor off a Toronto bound flight? God, I will never forget that.
Yep... "monkfish souffle with natural clam & kraut puree" is minimum $32.
My understanding is that this is just the law of large numbers. Most branches match the mathematical probabilities very closely, and hence that’s what we observe. Yes, people on one of the rare branches where things behave differently wouldn’t observe that, but we simply happen to not be on one of those rare branches.
I think it's meant to be interpreted as "hiring additional welders would be creating capacity for nothing" because the number of welders was not the bottleneck.
To take away from this, I've found that people who search for free stuff on Facebook tend to be painful to deal with - not turning up, leaving parts of the product they don't want behind for you to dispose of, jumping on products they don't even want just because it's free and just generally being ungrateful arseholes.

You're much better off selling something at a price below market value if you want it gone cheap to someone can use it.

If you can collect & store large amounts of telemetry data on people (online habits of all forms) you could make ridiculous amounts of money. The trick is getting the data, I suppose. I am not sure how to do that.
the explicit mandate of Fox is to spread lies to try to increase division in the US and to weaken the country. it would be weird to complain aobut this if you also want to destroy the country from within
> Southwest sucks, but it gets you home.

My sister was recently stranded in DFW trying to make it to SFO when American Airlines canceled her flight. They were happy to substitute another flight... to Sacramento.

So the two-hour round trip to pick her up from SFO turned into an eight-hour round trip to Sacramento. I'm amazed this was considered an acceptable substitute. Would have been nice if American was willing to get you home in the event of canceled flights.

(We could see available seats on flights from DFW to SFO at that time from Delta and Alaska. But those seats were "not available to American rebooking agents". It seems like that should have been American's problem, not ours.)

Footnote: even though my sister had to be rebooked onto the American flight to Sacramento, American didn't bother rerouting her luggage, which they sent to SFO. I guess canceling the flight meant "the plane will still fly, but without passengers".
I’ve been short since $300. I predicted $100 but now I think it could hit $68. We shall see!
Your judgement that my life has purpose and meaning should not be final if I don't agree. I'd rather not suffer just because you find it meaningful or think I should.
I've been very happy with it. I switched away from Tarsnap because it was far too slow on restores. BorgBackup has slightly different security semantics, but similarly supports the notion of append-only credentials.

And borgbase.com has been a good place to host my backups. Really nice onboarding flow.
yes this as well... wrong info is worse than no info. Short var almost is like writing _list "_" indicates it's an internal property ignore it
> OK, but are the quantum states “ontic” (really out in the world), or “epistemic” (only in our heads)?

Scott's answer to this seems like a cop-out. He's basically saying "I can't tell which things are epistemic or ontic, and this all seems very complicated, so I'm going to assume the distinction doesn't exist."
Apart from the fact that it wasn't AI, but a human labor performing tasks pretending to be AI, it was a great service.
I always used to laugh when people would bring up battery tech and solar when talking about TSLA's absurd valuation, but I think it's starting to become more relevant as it approaches a more realistic market cap. It's still too high though.
The people whose sacred site this is are still alive. So to them it is a very big deal.

You're applying graffiti logic to a piece of cultural heritage because it happens to be a graffiti. That spirit is at the core of modern graffiti as an ephemeral medium by design - which is often why you'll find muralists tacitly tolerating the occasional bombing. However I think this particular piece of art had crossed into cultural heritage some time ago, and as such was a real dick move. Even using modern graffiti interpretation of the tenet, there are some pieces you just don't cross.
Fair point! I generally think that older middle schoolers (so, 12-14) have some nebulous notion of digital privacy issues but may not be sure what that actually entails, which is what we're trying to help solve (drawing on the fact that parents seem quite concerned with privacy [1,2] + "digital citizenship" lesson plans for middle schoolers [3,4]).

But balancing discussing complicated topics with ease of understanding was definitely a challenge when writing out out the script. Which parts do you think might be too complex?

This is exceptionally sad. I've seen some of the cave art in other parts of Australia and it's mind-boggling that someone could be so horrible as to destroy it for their own entertainment.
Not upgrading due to costs? Luckily for you, we have invented planned obsolescence to solve this problem!
I have a friend on a property with cave art here in the hunter valley of Australia. We really don't do enough to preserve it at all. He's responsible and ensures no harm but it's still weird to own private land with 10k+ year old art and have no one really give a damn about it.

Compare it to European attitudes, eg. Lascaux where they closed off the cave completely and only allow tourists near the modern reconstruction.

We really do take 10k+ year old history for granted here.
She was able to quickly identify the envelope as polyethylene, the most common type of plastic.

PE burns much cleaner than coal, and probably paper too.

Burning plastic releases a slew of toxins into the air, including dioxins, furans, mercury and other emissions that threaten the health of people, animals and vegetation, according to multiple studies.

Unless they're somehow burning lots of chlorinated/fluorinated stuff (which is almost certainly not being used for much in the way of packaging, simply because those plastics are so much more expensive), that's just fearmongering. ...and mercury? WTF. That's where I stopped reading the article because it stopped making sense. Combustion certainly can't transmute elements, and mercury wouldn't be present unless they're burning something else...

...like coal, which does contain mercury as a significant impurity.

COVID measures. Germany is relatively strict, for example, N95 (FFP2) masks are still mandatory in long distance trains, and at the time where they would have had to decide whether to do or cancel the event, it was completely unclear if measures would be lifted or if e.g. such events would be banned or hit with limitations that would make them infeasible.
IMO thinking about the nonuniform distribution of mass on the body, it becomes apparent that the heavier areas want to sink deeper into a squishy surface than the rest, assuming a uniform firmness distribution of mattress.

So less dense areas of the body are being pressed upward while the rest tries to sink lower, putting all sorts of awkward deformations and strain into the spine, depending on orientation.

For me there's an ideal amount of deformation and that's on the order of a thick rug or yoga mat, just to distribute the load slightly at points of contact (and some thermal insulation). Japanese tatami mats are pretty good since they're basically just slightly compliant breathable floor panels which helps with heat/humidity issues.

As long as my mid section and extremities that don't generally get any propping up on a flat floor can remain unelevated vs. the sinking rest I don't seem to ever have any back problems. One thing that's surprised me is how little thickness is required for it to become an issue. Even sleeping on a birth in my buddy's sailboat without removing the ~2-3" foam cushion can cause me back aches come morning. Remove the cushion and sleep on the underlying bare wood instead? Zero problems, reproduced numerous times over the years.

I hear you re: sleeping with someone else. It's been a sticking point in my past relationships. But for me especially the older I get, I definitely value my physical health, fitness, and lack of chronic pain far more than having a partner to share a bedroom with. It's an easier path to choose without want for children...

The actions of "the authorities" (or rather - many people working in "the authorities") were both malicious/dishonest and incompetent at different times (and for different people).

I can try and attribute the "masks don't work" narrative to incompetence (they were trying to save the masks, and that backfired), but it isn't hard to argue that that was also dishonest.

The same applies to the "you MUSTstay indoors" messages followed a few days later by "you should go and take part in a protest with hundreds of other people" because, suddenly, racism is a health emergency bigger than covid (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jun/12/racism-publi...).

I am not in the "ivermectin cures Covid" camp. I don't think it does based on the available research. But the campaign to paint it as a "horse dewormer" was as far from honest as possible and I very much doubt that it was organic (Ivermectin is a drug that is prescribed to 150 000 people in the US every year, it's also commonly used to deworm dogs, and cats, and yet somehow each news outlet focused on horses).

I could go on, but the fact of the matter is that I simply don't trust the mainstream media anymore and totally understand why many people do not either. I don't care what you think about that, from my perspective "don't believe these guys, I've shown you the light, now believe me" has been employed time and time again to smear people who had heterodox opinions during the pandemic (and way before it) too.
I have had luck with those disposable floss picks. They are entirely plastic and the pick stick end is suitably narrow to fit into the port. Plus they are incredibly cheap.

What's your opinion on ActivityPub? Could you make the network compatible so that annotations can be shared on Mastodon and people with a Mastodon account can add comments to any highlight they find on Kontxt.io?

Would it be possible to export the data so that the notes, highlights and annotations can be used in case you discontinue Kontxt.io?

They solve different problems.

Numba compiles functions down to machine code or cuda kernels, that's it.
XLA is "higher level" than what Numba produces.

You may be able to get the equivalent of jax via numba+numpy+autograd[1], but I haven't tried it before.

IMHO, jax is best thought of as a numerical computation library that happens to include autograd, vmapping, pmapping and provides a high level interface for XLA.

I have built a numerical optimisation library with it, and although a few things became verbose, it was a rather pleasant experience as the natural vmapping made everything a breeze, I didn't have to write the gradients for my testing functions, except for special cases that involved exponents and logs that needed a bit of delicate care.
