Not OP but got quite a bit of experience with this playing competitive FPS for a decade. You're right that refresh rate sets the physical truth of it, e.g. 180 FPS on a 160 Hz monitor won't give you much advantage over 160 FPS if at all. However reaching full multiples of your refresh rate in FPS – 320 in this instance, 480, and so on – will, and not only in theory but you'll feel it subjectively too. I get ~500-600 FPS in counter-strike and I have my FPS capped to 480 to get the most of my current hardware (160 Hz). Getting a 240 Hz monitor would make it smoother. Upgrading the PC to get more multiples would also.


Durov posting about this in his Telegram channel in 3... 2... 1...


What is Durov and why is it relevant?


he's one of Telegram's creator, and he likes to post long rant entries on his channel on Telegram whenever somethings like this happen


It’s not.


what channel is that?



All of them.


Ah, good ol' HN.


Having a laugh picturing a similar article about Linux.

I'm consistently seeing some of the people nearby across multiple times opening the page, some of which weeks apart.


My somewhat educated guess would be that, firstly, cell tower triangulation includes altitude by necessity of measuring directly the reach of electromagnetic waves, whereas Telegram advertises the subset of users' GPS data that they choose to advertise, which is likely just lat-long. Secondly, law enforcement also likely has the cooperation of the administration of said high-rise building.


That's going to be pretty distorted (likely uselessly so) in a highrise unless you're connecting to the "femto cells" (I think?)


Can you hit a 7 minute mile now that you've been recovered for a while? (How) did it affect your health longer term?


Now? Yeah. I could hit a 7 minute. But it would hurt. I don’t recover as fast as I did pre-COVID after doing conditioning work.

I got it end of March, and I didn’t start training again until end of May I believe? Strength came back relatively quickly. I was back to my normal training weights in about a month. Conditioning is taking a lot longer. In June, a brisk walk would have me gasping. I started slow jogging in July. I started picking up the pace in August. I’m still gasping but not as much. And my resting heart rate isn’t back to where it was. I’m at 56bpm right now. Pre-COVID I was 47bpm.

Long term? I have no idea. Looks like right now my lung capacity was affected. Given my gains in the past 2 months, I’m cautiously optimistic that I’ll get back to where I was.


Have you gotten tested for any possible heart damage? There are some reports of athletes being benched because of a heart condition caused by COVID that can cause sudden death during exercise.


That's a pretty big claim, do you have anything to back it up?

How many athletes have caught Covid19 and then dropped dead afterwards when exercising?



Missing the season vs dying though ?


Myocarditis can absolutely cause death during exercise, as the poster said. They didn't say any athletes actually died due to this.

Of course it can; however, it's not solely caused by corona virus.

Is it verified, conclusively, that those people didn't already have a form of Myocarditis?


This isn't something that's likely to ever be verified conclusively, but we do have evidence that COVID-19 is associated with myocardial injury and myocarditis. Sure, it's not impossible a young, fit and healthy professional athlete was suffering from undiagnosed heart inflammation prior to contracting a novel virus. It's very unlikely to be the case when a bunch of healthy young people are suddenly diagnosed with the condition concurrent to testing positive for COVID-19, though.

I haven’t. I skipped my yearly physical in April. Not sure when I’ll get it rescheduled, but I’ll make a note to ask about this.


With the prospect of brain interface development in the next 100 years, it's possible we'll be able to have a meet-in-person perceptional experience while being physically away, virtually wherever.


Meet-in-person perceptional experience implies at least an order of magnitude less latency than Zoom. And such low-latency communication will probably be good enough with traditional video calls, novel brain interfaces will add less value.

And yes, latency physically can't be good enough if users are on different continents. So, interestingly enough, this future synchronous communication tech can have some de-globalization impact.

If you've got decent programming experience, that's all it takes.

I started learning Lua and began working on a game within an hour without needing to reference language documentation much at all. It's a language without many secrets.

The difference is though, with the internet evolving, the platforms were figuring out their revenue models, and we can see now which model turned out superior.
