I’m not much of a watch guy, but I got a “rep” moonswatch for under $20 as my first watch. It’s actually fairly convincing from a distance, but some of the dials were not zeroed properly and the cheap crystal made it hard to actually read.

That then got me to buy an actual Moonswatch and an affordable Seiko Chronos. I can’t imagine myself getting more into the hobby (especially the high end), but I think I can appreciate a little bit more now. I think Moonswatch pulled a lot of new people in (riding the whole 2020s watch wave).

I love that this is a small amount of plain html and js, as I think the instinct for a lot of folks these days in creating this would have been to invest a lot of time in using the frameworks du jour.
For fine collision between capsules, you consider the capsules as 3d segments with thickness. And two of those collide if the distance between segments < sum of half-thicknesses.

You can check this site with nice animations which explain how to compute the distance between segments : https://zalo.github.io/blog/closest-point-between-segments/

One more generic way to compute the distance between shapes is to view it as a minimization problem.
You take a point A inside object 1 and a point B inside object 2, and you minimize the squared distance between the points : ||A-B||^2 while constraining point A to object 1 and point B to object 2.

In the case of capsules, this is a "convex" optimization problem : So one way of solving for the points, is to take a minimization (newton) step and then project back each point to its respective convex object (projection is well defined and unique because of the convex property) (It usually need less than 10 iterations).

In geometry, we often decompose object into convex unions. One example is sphere-trees, where you cover your object with spheres.

This allow you to use fast coarse collision algorithm for spheres to find collision candidates of your capsules : You cover your capsules with spheres (a little bigger than the thickness) so that the capsule is inside the union of the spheres.
The time you spent scrounging for cheaper parts needs to be compared to the opportunity cost and the actual production scale.

Software engineers, especially at startups, are building proofs of concept that they need to iterate on very quickly. Spending significant thought on reducing opex is an absolutely terrible call in the early stages of dev.

If you have a profitable product, or one that would be if you can squeeze costs, then you play the optimization game.

The difference between electrical engineering and software engineering is that software can be updated after it’s deployed. The ability to get all of those gains later changes the strategy completely

> Even in an alternative world where agency rule-making was totally abolished, and everything has to be enacted directly through legislation, Congress could still defer to experts to draft that legislation.

What are the odds that the experts a biased towards special interests? How many laws do you suppose congress can write in one session? How many laws will now need to be written to match the average number rules developed by all agencies per year over the past 40 years since Chevron? In practice, this will result in gigantic acts that members of congress can't read before voting, amd increase the likelihood of loopholes. Which is intentional, IMO.

Frankly, when the judges and politicians who believe there are too many rules/too much government and decry government dysfunction suggest the answer is more rules or better laws (completely disregarding self-professed dysfunction), I won't take their words at face value, the sudden confidence in government competence and efficiency is likely tactical in pursuit of "dismantling the administrative state" (an actual stated goal).

Putting topology aside, and recognizing that 'ease' is subjective, imo Moggi's use of monads to model the denotational semantics of I/O in lazy functional languages such as Haskell is a common textbook example; the creators of Haskell had tried many solutions that did not work in practice before monads cracked it open. Even now this solution is more widely adopted than the alternatives (streaming I/O, linear I/O types, etc) and Moggi's paper remains a classic.

Media choices are in no small part policy choices—and then media feeds back into policy.

The current media landscape rose from the fall of the fairness doctrine in the 80s, a Chicago-school-driven sharp shift in anti-trust enforcement (initially) via the judiciary starting in the mid ‘70s, and the removal of rules prohibiting concentration of media outlet ownership in the ‘90s and early ‘00s.
The petrodollar relied on burning significant resources, although its power is waning now. Gold relies on mining. As for Ethereum, it's proof-of-stake, implying it's not decentralized.

The only alternative currency that wouldn't burn energy would be shares in transferable energy itself. This would require a global energy grid which we don't have, and are not intelligent enough to seek to develop. Once such a grid exists, then shares in transferable energy would have a relatively stable value.
have you forgotten how bad commercials were back then, and still are?

I haven't watched TV in years and years and years, because of the ads. I have a YouTube premium subscription and I am not ever going to watch broadcast or cable tv again. ever.

To be clear: 24 ms is a massive improvement you mean?
I mean if you're going to do that, you could probably just dial up the ISO setting way up on your camera, place it on a lazy susan spinning motorized dolly, and continuously poll the noise as a means of establishing a RNG seed. I don't know how truly random that would be, but it'd be a helluva lot simpler than oceanic reflection data.
It's surprising that the issue of premature deaths doesn't resonate more with the general public as opposed to so many other seemingly minor issues with much less of a personal impact. I wonder whether it's due to apathy or a sense that the issue is simply too complex to resolve.
If the X.AI team is able to build out a good enough model with access to real-time tweets, they could have an incredible product. I'd love to be ask about current events and get really strong results back based on tweets + community notes.
Yeah I’m all for engineers knowing about the economics of the business but the people saying “this is ridiculous of course engineers should know what things cost” are substantially undercounting the number of engineers who value their own time at $0
The comparison is seemingly a lot narrower at the top: if you make it to retirement, your life expectancy is comparable to the rest of the west. Doesn't mean the deaths of young people aren't important.
I'd echo the sentiment that this is amazing, and that a TV guide would be awesome.

I'd also suggest maybe adding the channel names (like the comment you posted here) to the app itself (although i think it's cool when it's unnamed and you get the old-school feeling of channels just being numbers).

Also, I'd love to have permalinks for the channels. Not for the individual videos themselves, but just a link that when sharing would bring somebody else to the same channel you're watching right now.

Another thing, although probably outside your control, is that I use a Firefox extension called "SoundFixer" that I use to force the youtube audio to mono (since a lot of channels are annoying to me using headphones, they pan the audio sources too hard left/right and it's super distracting), but it doesn't seem to work on this website, probably because of the way they're embedded. I don't know if this can be changed somehow, or have a mode to force mono audio (which would be also oldschool like old TVs with one speaker only!). It's probably too niche and hard to do though.

Also I don't seem to find any volume control except mute?
This is kinda unnecessary, each of DB has a tool which can safely backup it online.
Most likely they are not intentionally burning it for sake of burning it. And they do run almost all of the money in the world, so some energy expenditure is expected.
They don't need to make all the food with that level of accuracy, only meals called out as necessarily allergy free.

It’s downstream of the U.S. being an oligarchy, where all the things that kill people make someone money, who then uses those proceed to buy off politicians and judges and keep the whole vicious cycle going.
I don't know, but that isn't relevant to this conversation. Slavery was legal for the vast majority of history, but we still all agree today that freedom from slavery is a valid human right. "Due process" itself is a relatively new concept. All human rights were routinely violated for most of history, that's the whole point of enumerating them and discussing them. It's very new that any of these rights are even close to universally accepted.

> It's often as simple as reminding students that we are responsible for one another's success by shifting the goal from "finish the exercise" to "ensure we've both learned how to finish the exercise".

Then it ends up with faster student trying to explain to the slower one and failing. While the slower one still does not really have an option to do it independently and think it through, until they get home. This pair thing is great if you are the faster one or the one with better initial knowledge. It really does not work well if you are the weaker one.

I have been both on occasion, sometimes I was behind and other times advanced. Classes where I worked alone gave me much more then the ones where I was paired with someone better. When I was paired with someone slower, it was good for my ego and I remembered more from trying to explain (if I did that).
I don't think you are wrong and I have at times missed having such an option. But... I saw Java go down this path of cool features that you needed to learn, on top of the basic language, and eventually it took Java to an environment where learning the toolset and environment was complex, and vastly changed the calculus of how approachable the language was. In my mind, anyway, it went from being a useful if incomplete tool to being a more complete language that was not really worth messing with unless you were going to make a big commitment.

Every step that takes Python in that direction is a mistake, because if we need to make a huge commitment, Python probably isn't the right language. A large part of the appeal of Python is that it is easy to learn, easy to bring devs up to speed on if they don't know it, easy to debug and understand. That's why people use it despite its performance shortcomings, despite its concurrency issues, etc. (That and the benefit of a large and fairly high quality library.)
The currently agreed protocol leads to < 10 transactions/sec. This can be improved, but 1000x will be challenging.

If global finance ran on Bitcoin instead of on bank ledgers, all that energy would still need to be spent, but then an astronomical amount more energy would be spent on transaction processing on top.
Sort of a hallmark of American cognitive dissonance about their place in the global economy is the disconnect between the reality on the ground of how their country makes money and what they want the truth of that story to be.

In the modern era for example, we know that American agriculture is basically backstopped by undocumented and underdocumented labor of immigrant workers. Successful 100% enforcement of immigration law and border security would result in a food crisis due to a lack of hands to pick the harvest (because farm incomes are not sustainable paying a standard American living wage).

Illegal immigration is currently the backbone of the American agricultural economy, and it's an inconvenient truth that Americans like to ignore.

> I predict this appears as real youtube feature soon.

I doubt it would. The modern style of binging on-demand streaming content seems to be too effective at capturing attention. Remember that lots of people get notifications on their phone the instant a new video comes out for a subscribed channel, especially kids and teens who haven't developed resistance to these business models.

YT would be unlikely to spend any effort implementing an alternate mode that doesn't capture attention as effectively; the old model of live channels is likely a niche preference. If somehow this did prove to be more effective at capturing attention, I could see it being implemented, but that would surprise me.

So Much About Real-Estate Commissions Just Changed. Here's What to Know
So, I'm mostly with you here, but I'd say disallowing e.g. MD5 (horribly broken) or anything involving Dual_EC (horribly suspicious) by force would be reasonable. ECDSA/secp* curves, that's more controversial.

The TLS 1.2 -> 1.3 upgrade also disallowed a lot of previously used things, and this was generally considered to be a great improvement (though of course TLS endpoints can be backwards-compatible).
My favorite Larry Tesler contribution is Tesler’s Law or the Law of Conservation of Complexity[1].

It answers the question “why does this have to be so complicated?”, which I have found to be useful in countless numbers of UI discussions.

“We need it to do this, that, and this other thing, but in an uncomplicated way.”

Well, it can’t be less complicated than any one of those things then.

You can see from the conversation in this thread that people invoke "personal responsibility": those dying young are other Americans, and people are happy to think that they personally are making better choices.
> Here is another common one, "It would be great a Rust like but with GC".

What in this phrase suggests or implies that Rust has innovated something that an earlier FP language actually did? Something that resembles Go's managed runtime but with Rust's sum types seems like a very reasonable thing to want, and doesn't exist per se without buying either into a very foreign syntax and thus a much smaller community and library ecosystem.

(Or as another phrasing: what is actually wrong with someone saying this? Insufficient credit given to other languages? Do people apply this standard to C with BCPL and ALGOL? I haven't seen them do so.)
My son is anaphylactic on contact with cow's milk.

We're on an experimental program to reverse this by dosing him with milks closer and closer to cow's. If you're interested (and courageous) try camel milk - it's the furthest away milk from cow in the program.

Sort-related question: Can restaurants refuse to serve someone who mentions severe dietary restrictions? Honestly, if I owned a restaurant, that's where I would lean because the risk is too high. If one of the cooks accidentally includes the wrong ingredient or the servers get the dishes mixed up, someone could die, as happened in this case. I know there's requirements to accommodate people with certain physical disabilities - wheelchairs, sight/hearing-impaired, stuff like that. But I've never heard of a requirement to accommodate all dietary needs.
Pretty incredible situation where the USA (and potentially its ally Canada) are trying hard to ensure that its citizens can't use the top quality, most high tech products available.

I think in general we are losing a lot of functionality especially since the phone UIs are slowly creeping into the desktop. Discoverability and consistency are simply horrible compared to how things worked around 2000. I think it's a huge regression.

I can't wait until somebody dusts off the design principles of Windows 95/2000 or Mac System 7 and will sell this as the new UX paradigm.
It's somewhere in between those extremes. It's true that some things that go into a contract aren't actually valid because they infringe on rights or aren't within the authority of its parties. It's also true that some things are only valid if they're mentioned in the contract, because they might not be a typical part of doing business (e.g. things like fees or handling disagreements in arbitration hearings). It's also true that some things are implicitly in the agreement without being mentioned in the contract.

It's worthwhile to be aware of what's called the Reasonable Person standard. If you own a business it is worthwhile to be somewhat familiar with the corporation law in the jurisdiction the company is incorporated in. And it's always useful to have a lawyer you can ask some questions, if for no other reason than to have some chance of avoiding those expensive (in $$ and time) arguments before a judge. But I'm not a lawyer so don't ask me.

I've done the same thing with dizqueTv for my grandmother. On her Android TV, I was able to integrate the IPTV channels on the same channels list, so she can simply use the remote to navigate between the digital channels and the IPTV channels (30 for Hercule Poirot, 31 for classic B&W movies, etc.)
Sometimes a phenomenon exists for a long time before being encapsulated in a concise, thought-provoking, and often (though not always) amusing aphorism.

An excellent example would be Murphy's Law, and by extension many of the similar, often eponymous, laws.

See:

- List of Eponymous Laws: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymous_laws>

- Murphy's Law and other reasons why things go wrong! by Arthur Bloch: <https://archive.org/details/murphyslawotherr0000arth>

- Compilation of Murphy's (and similar) laws: <https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fgandon/miscellaneous/murphy/>

Some of those are humourous, some are in fact quite serious though have a comedic element particularly out of context. Most speak to at least a colloquial truth.

What Whilhoit did was manage to buttonhole a hypocrisy of modern conservativism, perhaps over the past few decades, perhaps a century or so (Anatole France, "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread", further evidentiarially supported by SCOTUS in Grants Pass), perhaps by millennia (see the opening paragraphs of A.H.M. Jones, Augustus, describing the political situation in the late Roman Republic, quoted here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22208105>, and at greater length: <https://web.archive.org/web/20230607042525/https://old.reddi...>). It's not so much a proved hypothesis as a phrasing which fits the understanding of many and expresses it concisely and memorably.
Awesome. Now I can just flip between channels constantly. "Doom scrolling" the kids call it.
And people need to be reminded of it from time to time.
> Her own opinion was that ID cards would be of use "but only if they can be made unforgeable".

Internet identifiers with private keys are unforgeable unless the certificate authority is compromised, so seems like she would be in favor of this.

There is no disadvantage with this compared to just having a public identifier with no private part (current SSN scheme in USA).

I like UIs like this when just one thing is in the focus....I think few years ago here on HN someone did something like this but for Twitch; where you could switch back and forth between live streamers which had only 1 viewer. This format is definitely good for fast and easy discovery.
