From the end of the video: 0.75 * 132.5=99.375 0.75 * 133.3=99.975 or 60 milliseconds slower over 4 minutes. Probably imperceptible if you played 2 videos over each other. Interesting they caught that difference. Wonder why he made the math

A lot of good advice in the comments here. I'd add: when you're talking to someone, or even in front of an audience, eliciting some reaction or response from the other side is a good way to "normalize" the dialogue. It i

Great initiative. Solving OSA is a multi-$bn industry. And there's no silver bullet yet... I've had 4 sleep studies in the past - professional ones where they wire up your entire body for monitoring. They all produced wildly varyi

This really sets a new standard in expectations around how safe and reliable these products are. TSLA probably has a significant head-start in terms of technology - but here's a new (call it marketing) feature by Mercedes that actually

This article from 1993 was previously discussed on HN (can't find the HN link). It makes a pretty compelling case for why Ukraine should have kept their weapons. The Clinton administration at the time forced Ukraine to give them up to

You're right on float adjustment. But shares of coke held by Berkshire are still considered part of float.

Interesting. Investing in Berkshire is like investing in a diversified index fund.

I remember this too. The major difference is things auto-update more frequently, and people have higher bandwidth connections. So it's less of a problem that 14 years ago, luckily.

This is beautiful. This is where art meets technology - and that's always been a fascinating crossroad for me.

Whenever I see stuff like this, I feel pain for the developer. Of course this stuff should be preserved, but many times developers will destroy or hide these archaeological findings so their projects don't get delayed. I know this is c

Something I've noticed: introvert != no social skills I don't think being introverted and lacking social skills equate to each other, as the article alludes to.

This isn't that much... If you want more you can go to your favorite cloud provider and spin up many 100s of gigs of ram in an instant. Of course it will be slower in the cloud. But still... Not much use for this on a personal machine

Handling multiple identical files is certainly desirable - but this is not the "core" compression algo. Its a cute optimization trick...

The world will be a very different place. We've entered a new Cold War like period. Country postures will be more aggressive and focused on military buildups. This only exacerbates USA - China tensions when they are in need of a detent

HN people are overachievers... So invariably your approach to child rearing is going to be reading a lot and being informed. It's helpful to do so to know what's coming. But in reality you don't need to. A lot of learning wil

Great write-up. Great reading if you're a dad to be. But don't fret, if you don't get a chance to read something like this, eventually you learn all the nuances of child rearing in due course while you're on the job.
