Thank you! (Generalist staff here). I should note that many other companies have shown t-shirt folding at this point; however, the significance of us showing it here is not that we can do it, but rather we can do it as one of many tasks, and do it with mastery.
Each item is 33px tall, which on my screen, and for the sake of easy math, is ~1cm.
If every year got 1 row, and we were on a linear instead of a logarithmic-ish timescale, the start of section 1 (4.1 billion years ago), would be about 41,000km tall, which is slightly bigger than the circumference of the eath.
13.813 billion years at this scale, at 138,130km, is just over a third of the way to the moon.
I'd also add https://tldroptions.io/ as a quick and dirty potential options valuator. That being said, I agree with the author's default assumption that private options should be valued at zero, especially for financial planning purposes. At the same time, it is this hockey stick that is a strong part of the allure of smaller startups. There's an entirely separate levels.fyi equivalent that needs to be made for the amount of equity employees get at various stages of a company. It should also note that the size size of the exit is inversely proportional to the odds that it'll happen.
We offer an API behind Azure DNS. As a hacky, but functional, workaround for our customers they can manually add our server's IP address to their /etc/hosts file. It'd be important for them to revert that once DNS returns; however as a quick fix this might help some people.
"We emphasize that the whole technology is futuristic and the reason should be clear to all the accelerator experts... We also note that a 1000 TeV machine requires the accelerator circumference of the order of 1000 km with the magnets of ≃ 10 Tesla which is totally ridiculous... Even if it becomes the reality, the cost of the construction is of the order of or more than 100 billion US$... the power required for the
operation of the machine may exceed 50 GW"
I wish the rhetoric around "screens" was less focused on the delivery mechanism and instead more focused on the problematic thing behind those screens.
The issues raised here seem to not be related to glowing LCDs, but rather particular apps and behaviors in those apps that lead to addictive and problematic behavior.
"Screens" is even broader than saying things like "the internet is bad". The latter statement already sounds unhelpful because everyone has a better understanding of just how diverse of a platform "the internet" is.
I built one of these! With a shifter on the palm, and a separate control toggle, you'd get pretty much the full ASCII set.
Even though I'm right handed, it worked best on my left hand. This is because of how surprisingly nice it was to use my dominant hand to do something (use a mouse, eat, etc), while still typing with my left.
Alas I assume the reason this never caught on was due to the learning curve. People will never leave qwerty. Also it was pretty slow. When I built this back in 2005, I was thinking for PDAs and early cell phones and was only competing against T9 and early palm keyboards. After a few months of practice, I never topped about 45 wpm.
These videos are frankly better explanation of college-level math concepts than most college classes.
Also, now you probably care much more about the intuitions of mathematics over the raw mechanics of it. Once again, this channel perfectly exemplifies this concept.
I would love to see a list compiled somewhere of two articles with exactly 6 degrees of separation. This is proving to be extremely difficult. In the entire HN thread so far, I only see one so far by dkuder https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?source=Six%20Degrees%...
These videos do an incredible job of illustrating how to intuitively arrive at an answer by composing many of the parts you need to build a proof for more complex topics.
Here's diagrams of all of the tallest buildings by 2023 (including built ones) visually next to each other sorted by official height thanks to SkyscraperPage: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=207
The Skyscrapercenter doesn't include the Dubai Creek Tower which is also already under construction.
