Charlie Eggins recorded the first ever sub-12-second 3-blind solve in competition (11.673s). So he started the timer, looked at a scrambled cube for about four seconds, nodded his blindfold into place, then solved it in about seven.

You've pointed to a generic landing page, and I can't find the page you might have intended to post.

Thanks and apology for my error. Correction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46520876

The post where I found this was a continuation of a thread that started with a post[0] by Terence Tao saying:

"In recent weeks there have been a number of examples of Erdos problems that were solved more or less autonomously by an AI tool, only to find out that the problem had already been solved years ago in the literature"

That's a direct link to the raw graph, not to the comment that gives relevance, but nevertheless, that's where the discussion is.

I don't think you are answering the question.

The poster here is asking how they can find posts, possibly by anyone, that other users have flagged. What is there in the Guidelines and FAQ will answer that question?

FAQ: What does [dead] mean?

> The post was killed by software, user flags, or moderators.

> Dead posts aren't displayed by default, but you can see them all by turning on 'showdead' in your profile.

> If you see a [dead] post that shouldn't be dead, you can vouch for it. Click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'vouch' at the top. When enough users do this, the post is restored. There's a small karma threshold before vouch links appear.

Still not answering the question.

What you quote from the FAQ tells you what it "[Dead]" means, it doesn't tell you how to find posts marked as "Flagged".

The FAQ tells you that you can have "Dead" posts displayed by turning on "showdead", but the question is asking how "Flagged" posts can be found.

The FAQ does not answer that question.

The algorithm fits in a screenshot:

Yeah, looks like the post was deleted.

Not sure it's entirely relevant, but I'm pretty sure that research done for instrumentation in aeroplane flight decks shows that information is transferred faster and more reliably from the instruments to the pilots when it's analogue.

That's why even the modern glass/digital instrument panels have simulated "tape".

They also include digital readouts for added accuracy, but it's the analogue versions that transfer information "at a glance".

I disagree here. I find it much faster to read the speed from a digital speedo than an analogue one (especially as most cars compress the road legal range into under half the dial).

Especially in a 20 zones, a few mph is just a tiny needle movement but you definitely can get a ticket for it.

Analogue is better when your want to see something moving through the range though.

Not sure about which one is faster to read for a static value - most analog simulated instruments are relative which means you still need to read a digital readout to get the absolute value.

One thing analog instruments/tapes do that a simple digital readout won’t is they easily communicate the rate of change of the value.

Probably just auto-correct ... but it's "red herring".
