  1. submitted "latlearn", my Golang latency instrumentation and reporting lib, to HN:
    news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

    I expect it to BOMB like basically everything else I seem to do lately. I clearly have very different tastes and values than like 99.9999% of humanity online. lol

    but I'm not bitter! no not all. heh

    Looking at textbook exercises, perhaps.
    But there's dependence cmp.

    mathstodon.xyz/@MisterRelativi

    where Lorentzian distance
    \[\ell[ \, p, q \, ] := \underset{(\gamma \in \Gamma_p^q)}{\text{Sup}}[ \, \{ \tau_{\gamma} \} \, ] \]
    requires comparison of #durations \(\tau_{\gamma}\)

    In #SR you'd need to know + fix who remains a member of an #InertialSystem ; but finding out is a hard problem in #GR

    As semi-popular videos put it:
    basically.

    The (relevant) "twin paradox" comparison is between arc lenghts (#durations) of 2 distinct time-like #spacetime curves; with the same "initial" event, and with the same "final" event;
    regardless of

    - whether either curve consists only of events in which the same one particular participant took part throughout,

    - or of consecutive pieces "traced" by distinct participants.
