I've thought about this kind of scenario, bizarrely, a decent amount recently. Long story short, assuming your opponent is so strong that once you're in arms' reach, you're done, you have to be faster than said opponent not only at endurance running but also at every distance between. E.g. assuming you start off somewhat close to them, you have to sprint faster and transition into a faster endurance running pace, and at no point can you be so much slower than them at a given distance that they're able to regain any ground you made on them at a different speed.
It's independent/thirdparty, not officially associated with HN, though Trieve is YC-funded (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/trieve) and in that sense there's an affiliation.

There's no current plan to change HN Search though I wouldn't rule it out. PG often used to integrate recent YC startups into HN in various ways (search as detailed by the OP, but also an SSO startup at one point, a carbon-reduction startup, I forget what else) as a way of giving them a boost and I could imagine us doing that again. (side note: I guess the mental model in my head is that earlier-stage startups are more closely bonded to YC and that as they succeed and expand, there's certainly still a friendly connection but the attachment becomes a bit weaker. For startups that have been around 10+ years, for example, I'm not sure it still makes sense to have frontpage job ads on HN.)

The change I'd really like to make to HN Search is to bring the front-end part of it into the HN codebase so the search results can be 'real' HN pages*. It's never been a priority to implement that though, and the Algolia system has been fabulous for a long time.

* Funnily enough, I made almost the same point using my pre-dang account back when Algolia was just getting started: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7126635. Credit to pvg, who misses nothing, for spotting this. The reply was from Algolia cofounder ndessaigne who is now a group partner at YC! He was good on his word, btw.
You're welcome. Thank you for saying so
It’s not just the time to understand those nuances, but to keep up with the pace of changes. There’s an aspect of navigating those in some languages (JS…) that can be time consuming depending on where it’s deployed.
I'm no Intel fan but the last time that AMD had market leadership and anything which was under Hector Ruiz who is they basically completely stopped innovating. I don't think that'll happen under Lisa, but the track record of AMD and market leadership is they just kind of sit on it.
We'll see what happens this time around

Of course, last time Intel was still sitting on a metric pile of Fab technology and other stuff that was still in the pipeline. Intel appears a lot more starred for such potential innovations.

The path forward appears to be radical ISA switches or something besides yet another x86 node shrink. But Intel's track record for doing anything outside of x86 processors is very very very very poor.
> I also found it interesting that running slowly and/or walking is better for losing weight as running faster primarily uses glycogen (and makes you hungry), and running slowly primarily uses fat.

This presupposes running using glycolysis for energy. Most runners will do this, but there are quite a few ultra runners who use ketosis instead, and derived almost all their energy to run from fat. It's not great if you want to go very fast (say, track and field events), but it has some distinct benefits for very long ultra trail events.
I think the headline conflates a bunch of things to make clickbait.

It does seems there are accurate and correct complaints about EPA violations, etc at the Boca chica site, and there are also accusations of mercury (and presumably other materials) being detected.

My reading of the article, and the plain text reading of the spacex statement mean I don’t think there’s sufficient factual basis to go from the known EPA violations to “put mercury in the water”.

The regulatory violations seem objectively true, but those regulations are in place because historically that lack of guards led to terrible dumping. So the regulations mean such stuff is detected early and punished if it does happen. However it’s important to realize that the violations in the actual complaint are not “spacex dumped stuff” they are “spacex did not get the required approvals or let us do the testing”. They’re important issues, and need to be addressed, but the issues are very explicitly not “we have reason to believe that there were issues”.

I think a more practical comparison for us normies would be “you had a competent electrician rewire your house or a plumber do significant work without getting a permit or inspection”. In reality for most cases people aren’t trying to have their house catch fire or fill with .. stuff .. but legally you’re required to get permits and inspections.

Those permits and inspections exist to prevent/deter the kinds of people who do try to do substandard work, but you can’t write a law that says “the only people subject to this law are the ones trying to violate it”, so everyone has to do stuff that for most people isn’t necessary.

Alternatively it’s illegal to drive a car without functioning brakes, so in many countries your have to have your car checked annually. Most people aren’t going to drive an unsafe car, but to protect “most” from some, everyone has to get a WOF(or similar).

So my reading of the article is the EPA complaint currently is just “they didn’t follow the approval and testing parts of the regulatory requirements”, nothing more.

The article then brings in a bunch of other allegations that aren’t in the actual EPA complaint to try and put those accusations on the level as the actual complaint, because yay clicks!

It’s quite possible those other allegations are true (because that’s pretty standard corporate behavior - prior corp behaviour is why the EPA and similar exist), but equally they could be false (there’s no additional pollutants), false (the pollutants are there, but from old dumping), false (the pollutants are there but from a different company), etc

Musk is a shitty person, and corporate behavior when awful chemicals are involved is often garbage, but misrepresenting things merely provides ammunition when groups are actually doing illegal stuff to say “look, this is the same lies and BS they wrote here” so I really wish it would stop.

If people want to shit on space Karen they should focus on the awful shit we know he does, there’s no need to invent stuff.
How does the mercury get into the water?
I use a Helium Mobile eSIM, which I pay with crypto. I set it up in something like 10 minutes when I became eligible for an account. No problems so far.

I've also had eSIMs from FirstNet and AT&T, no problems there either. Running dual-sim hasn't been a problem either on any of my Galaxy or iPhones.
I didn't have as positive experience.
Granted I commented on a closed issue. In any case it was closed as "won't do" and my comment was ignored. I didn't feel like opening a new issue for the same that was already dismissed.

"a cut of that" is doing a heck of a lot of work here to handwave the amount they're asking for.

A "cut" in this case means such a high percentage of the transaction that if Patreon didn't pass the extra cost on to consumers/creators, they would make negative dollars on each iOS subscription. That really genuinely does not strike you as odd at all?

It doesn't strike you as weird or maybe like a possibly negative market effect that Patreon as a platform should be more profitable for Apple than it is for Patreon? I think most people would say that's a signal that something might be going wrong.
This is actually a harmful definition, both (1,1) and (0,2) tensors can be written as a matrix but they are very different. It's like calling vector an array but vectors require vector space and arrays are just arrays. It doesn't help that std::vector is very common in CS but 'pushing back' to a mathematical vector just doesn't make any sense

Show HN: I spent days curating concert films in Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos/5.1)
Hey,

I spent days digging and curating concert films in Spatial Audio -- so you don't have to!

I'm really into immersive audio and live music but couldn't easily find concert films to watch. I had to jump from app to app and dig deep into Amazon and Google to find cool stuff. So I hope that it makes your life better and that you'll find a concert you want to watch.

Happy to send you personalized concert recommendations, feel free to comment or to send me an email with some of your favorite artists :)

Thank you,
Ax
Your comment just made me realize something. The 5 milliseconds which Lyles won by is shorter than the time it takes sound to travel between his lane and Thompson's. If the starting gun were on the outside of the track (it's not), then Thompson would have actually run the race faster, if measured from the time he perceived the sound.

In reality the gun is usually on the inside of the track, so it would be Lyles overcoming this (negligible) advantage.
> Their App Store is the only way people get apps on their device and if a search for ‘patreon’ in the App Store returns nothing, that’s a lot of confused or angry people that are going to wonder what their monthly bill is for.

I just searched the App Store for Patreon:

The top hit was an ad for Ashley Madison. Seriously.

The second hit was the Patreon app.

The third hit was ChatGPT for some reason.

But if the Patreon app was not in the App Store, no doubt there would be a bunch of scammers trying to pose as the official Patreon app.

As a follow-up, it appears that once jellyfin had time to complete all its processing of the media I configured, Firefox was able to shuffle a playlist of ~20,000 tracks -- after an hour or so.

The Roku jellyfin client (not the server, it seems pretty stable) reliably crashes after ten minutes or so of attempting to load the same playlist.

Interestingly, jellyfin on Android appears to have the same behavior as the Firefox/web interface, although I didn't wait an hour to see if that was the case.

That said, Finamp[0] (also available on FDroid, FTW!) on Android loads up the playlist just fine and starts playing almost immediately. Which makes me wish Android was my use case. :(

All in all, it was rather disappointing. That said, I still do appreciate your suggestion.

It's a shame that White Nationalist and Neo-Nazi content is a first-class citizen on this site, with related content visible on the homepage while logged out.

It might actually have a chance at competing with a site like YouTube, if they hadn't embraced the fallacy of free speech absolutism. Online spaces don't grow when that kind of content isn't properly dealt with.

If their goal is to remain a small site that caters to fringe groups, they can do that indefinitely, but that's all they'll ever be.
They added "in app purchases" indicators in the store for this. I use it all the time. "In app purchases" on something that claims it's free is not free.
Patreon built their organization partly on how easy it is to get donations from Apple users through the app ecosystem. As an Apple user, I personally spend a lot more on apps every month than in my pre-Apple days because it feels secure, easy, and premium.

So even as a non-Apple user, you benefited from Apple's system. The same is true for Patreon, and for the content creators.

As for your complaints about the dearth of ecosystems, I guess the rest of the world can only apologize to you for not pouring even more hundreds of billions of dollars into developing an ecosystem that fits your requirements * just so *. (By the way, I was talking about phone brands, nice work shifting the goalposts)

> Anyway, any time someone suggests "don't have a smartphone at all" as an alternative, my respect for their opinion drops to zero.

Well, I am devastated. But "no smartphone" is indeed one of the options, as is "Apple smartphone", "Samsung smartphone", "flip-phone", and many others. Can't find one that is perfect in every way? Welcome to the real world.
I think that says a lot about the books from your undergraduate days.

My brother has some historical documents from our family history that I got a chance to look at last time I was in the UK, one of which is a will from 1872. Looks like it's hand-inked, with extra pencil marks. I have no reason to suspect it's been maintained under exceptionally carefully controlled conditions, normal domestic conditions are much more likely. And it seems fine.

Similar for the family multi-volume book series on, IIRC, world history; the final volume in the series was hastily added, because it was about the Napoleonic Wars which had only just happened. (I don't know what happened to those books, mum didn't want to keep them when dad died).

Also:

1) this is for all laws, not just special ones — I can understand that at some point the UK government will pass a law that people might like to coo over the physrep of in a museum in 2524 A.D., but it's not likely to be the text of "High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill": https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3094

2) We used vellum for Magna Carta back in the day, because we didn't have anything better to write on. The actual information content today is recorded and transcribed, shared on the web. How long will the web last? For as long as people care to maintain the records.

The future won't get to see 'interesting mistakes' because such would be destroyed as incorrect representations of the thing parliament debated. Even the physicality of the documents won't tell the future generations about the people who lived today, because vellum is now just a weird thing nobody else does.

Printing these things on vellum is creating an artefact for no other purpose than to have an artefact — we may as well carve them into stone if the point is to have longevity.
> But why? When the common wisdom is to always take the problem at hand, analyze it, and then choose the tools, why would I ignore that and go

Sounds like they are choosing the right tool for the job.

When considering languages, familiarity is a significant aspect. And, the smaller the duration/size of the project, the more significant it is. A decent analysis wouldn't ignore this.

If the language you're most productive with is appropriate for a project (and go is appropriate for a wide variety of things), you need a good reason not to use it.

You're analogy is flawed. Pythagoras' theorem is about right triangles. "a^2+b^2=c^2" isn't about triangles, it's not even a theorem, it's simply an equation (typically a diophantine one) that is satisfied by some numbers but not others. Something which typically belongs to number theory. Obviously the two things are closely related (which is the beauty of mathematics - there are a lot of connections between very different fields).

But really, I'll refer again to the part of my previous reply where I contextualise why I wrote what I wrote and how that answers the question of whether pi is somehow arbitrary due to the fact that we usually think of space as Euclidean: it's not.
I use the Navy standards as a rough guide to reclaiming some fitness I've lost over several years.

I'm suprised the post and comments here do not cite the famous Nature paper by S. Carlson - "A Double-blind Test of Astrology" - which performed a very similar experiment 40 years ago.

It's an interesting question. I'm reading article II of the constitution and I'm not finding text to directly support your claim. To the contrary, the "lazy justice" practice of textualism indicates that each State Legislature directs the manner of appointing electors. As I read it, a State Legislature could indeed appoint electors according to the national popular vote.

> Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Moreover, the constitution doesn't even tell the electors how to vote!

> The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President...

The question of faithless electors has been delegated to state law as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector
Of course you can. A good drummer will not deviate from beat by that much.
It does seem like we are approaching a critical point where a new baseline of rational knowledge is created, but not quite there. I think it is because there still not enough pain at a population level. There’s a section of people which has realized but can’t do much other than being mere spectators. Beyond that point, when it happens, we would probably have a new normal and perhaps a new experiment like USA, better than the previous one and humanity beyond a nation’s boundary can benefit. Now I’m confused if I’m a pessimist or an optimist.
Very cool photos! Just as an FYI, the link to the full sized "Victorian house in San Francisco, CA, 2020" image 404s for me.
I dispute your assertion. The late 19th and early 20th century USA had a population boom largely from immigration. There was no immense turmoil and violence.
Yes. It has been just few months. It takes some time to catch up.

That's not totally true. Twitter/X is fine, in this regard. The toggle is web based, but there's no censorship once it's toggled. The large amount of age restricted content on YouTube, with nudity, is another example.
> Looking at it that way, sure. It seems obvious. If a local distributor picks up a local product, and then a national distributor buys from the local distributor, it's pretty obvious that the national distributor brings more value.

That isn't obvious at all. In both cases the distributor's margin will reflect how much competition they have. If there is only one distributor, their margin will be large. If there are a thousand, competition will force their margins down. Whether they're local or national.

Moreover, in this context Patreon is the national distributor who needs to distribute content to everyone whether they have iOS, Android, web or something else, and each of the platforms is a local subcontractor for a subset of the customers. Which leads to exactly the problem. The notion that Google and Apple are in competition with one another in this context is false, because to distribute to Android customers you need Google and to distribute to iOS customers you need Apple. You can't switch from one to the other because Google can't distribute to iOS customers. They're each a different market serving different customers, and then they collect a monopoly rent.

What the usual trope that analogizes this to Walmart or Target is missing is that "Walmart customers" are also customers of Target or Amazon, but the large majority of iOS customers are not also customers of Google Play or any other app store.
It has always been up to the states how they apportioned their electoral votes, and it has gone through many different versions to arrive where we are now, including electors being independent of the actual popular vote, and allowing faithless electors. It was only in the late 19th century that states began apportioning all of their electors as a block to the winner, rather than by district. The constitution leaves it to the states.
Did they forget the lawsuit on the east coast, where their own documents said that they required 95% compliance, and that landlords had to write a reason for non-compliance, and they had their sales staff go above the heads of PMs who weren't following the software's advice.
