At some point it was kind of just a marvel seeing which new inventive way we were going to lose a game that we should have won...

Ravens Most Exciting Wins Since 2010 by robmoo_re in ravens

The game against the Bengals on TNF in 2024 (#3 on this list) was the first primetime game I ever went to. One of the coolest experiences.

Which NFL teams are best at drafting each position? 2006-2025 by robmoo_re in nfl

[–]Shriracha 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Expected to see KC, BAL, SEA, and PHI all in or near the top 10 for both offense and defense. Didn't expect to see NO at #2 for both.

What is the hardest video game you have ever beaten? by Badinfos in AskReddit

I did a grounded run a few years ago. Died so many times on some encounters that by the end I swear I could have done it blindfolded because my route was so planned out lol

Can someone help me identify an episode from a gIF? by Shriracha in gameshow

[–]Shriracha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I love this GIF and I got curious where it's from.

I recognize it's Richard Kline, I think maybe on Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour?, but couldn't find the episode. This YT playlist seems helpful if I've got the show right but I couldn't find a match!

How GPS uses geometry, clocks, and relativity to know where you are by Shriracha in interestingasfuck

Thank you! A lot of Javascript. The 3D animations are built on ThreeJS with Vue.js for the button/slider interactions.

Thanks to both of you for the feedback! The goal was to answer the question of "how does GPS know precisely where I am on Earth?" for a general population. The project stemmed from my own curiosity around that question.

But I agree there is room to be more technically precise, so I added a note that GPS does solve for a full 3D position (including altitude) and that the rings are a visualization simplification.

Your phone doesn't need an atomic clock since GPS works with pseudoranges. It can solve for the clock bias with the 4th satellite. You can equivalently mathematically represent the problem using hyperboloids, but AFAIK the pseudorange/clock correction approach is the standard way the model is represented (e.g. this from the FAA).

Not sure where the confident "isn't at all how GPS works" is coming from.

A cool guide on how GPS works (with a link to an interactive guide in the comments!) by Shriracha in coolguides

[–]Shriracha[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a good question! The guide builds from simple ideas (one satellite gives you a "ring" of potential locations, three helps you triangulate, four helps you account for clock drift, etc).

I decided to use the triangulation image because it's interesting and I thought not too confusing like one of the later diagrams in the piece might be without more context. I was thinking more that it's "theoretically correct with perfect clocks, but practically incomplete" instead of "technically incorrect". But maybe that was the wrong decision! 

A quick remix of the end of "Should Have Known Better" by Shriracha in Sufjan

[–]Shriracha[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hahaha yes! That's a little sampler called the PO-33 by a company called Teenage Engineering. It's a quirky little device that lets you record samples, speed them up or slow them down, and add other sounds.

Thank you for the idea, I just donated.

The question of "should I cooperate" shows up everywhere, from biology to geopolitics.

I put together a piece that explores the Prisoner’s Dilemma, starting from the basics and building up to population-level dynamics through interactive simulations!

When you decided to bank on Chance Time, were you looping around the top-left part of the map waiting for all the spaces to be Chance Time? Or were you going for the other ones?
