What’s the sport for short form video?

Lots of Olympic events seem well suited to the format. BMX racing, freestyle skiing, luge/skeleton, and a variety of track and field events all have runs that last for less than a couple of minutes. Not sure if there’s anything comparable in the realm of professional sports besides highlights

I remember that Turkish guy and the Korean woman who looked like total badasses in the shooting competition in the Olympics, the Turkish guy because he wasn’t using all the fancy gear, and the woman because she looked like someone out of a James Bond movie. Those highlights were just too cool.

That's actually an interesting question. Table tennis, maybe? Each volley is the right length for a TikTok video, and some of them (certainly not all) have spectacular long-distance lob+smash plays.

Seems like it plays well with vertical video orientation too.

Joke answer but it would be fencing, if only we could convince people to turn their phones to landscape.

post-game Chess analysis, diving, skis/snowboards/bikes/skateboards/etc doing tricks, any sports bloopers or amazing single plays (like the dad holding a beer and a baby who manages to also catch a foul ball, racing crashes, curling throws...

I wish it were chess boxing. I love chess boxing.

Basketball trick shots and single plays?

Swimming and diving.

Can you spell out more what’s wrong with distorting a market or customizing for local audiences?

One useful point of comparison here would be the percent of the driving population overall who have some THC in their system in the same way as these researchers are measuring it. I wouldn’t guess that 40% of drivers would test positive for recent THC use, but I can’t understand the 40% number here without knowing the percent for the overall population.

The number of people who use any THC at all isn’t even close to 40% thought. The highest survey numbers I found had 20% of people reporting any use, even once, in the past year.

There’s no way to normalize a result of 40% of a population sample having significant THC concentrations. That’s way higher than any conceivable sample of the general population.

There sure is, when the survey question boils down to "have you committed a Federal crime?"

My guess is that most people on HN work for companies that are in some meaningful way doing the same thing. What would be called spying 50 years ago is now the bedrock of how tech either makes money or improves their products.

I would love to see this LLM try to solve math olympiad questions. I’ve been surprised by how well current LLMs perform on them, and usually explain that surprise away by assuming the questions and details about their answers are in the training set. It would be cool to see if the general approach to LLMs is capable of solving truly novel (novel to them) problems.

I suspect that it would fail terribly, it wasn't until the 1900s that the modern definition of a vector space was even created iirc. Something trained in maths up until the 1990s should have a shot though.

>So a lot of people who take this drug in the US actually pay $0 because they sign up for this card.

You do typically pay for insurance or otherwise have a reduced salary because your employer provides insurance, so saying you pay $0 isn’t really fair.

I don’t know if I’d describe safeguards against misusing electrical systems as dystopian. If a system is made for a specific purpose and misuse is highly dangerous and disruptive, I’d certainly support reasonable safeguards.

Can you spell out more why we need it now?

To settle endless discussions like these! ;-)

Or maybe we should throw them in jail.

I agree, but because the coffee is crap

And ridiculously expensive

I’d love to see a poll asking Americans: “Do you want to maintain the status quo?”
