This is actually an issue caused by the hotel staff not allocating their rooms efficiently. When the first wave of infinite guests showed up, they should have assigned them to odd numbered rooms. Then theres still an infinite number of vacant even numbered rooms.

Even if several more waves of infinite guests show up, you can assign them to rooms numbered 4n+2, 8n+4, 16n+8…

That way, the hotel will always have rooms left over.

Obviously context matters here. I’m usually happy to answer most questions. I reserve those types of ‘just google it’ responses for the people who skip FAQs, ping me when they know I’m focused/busy and generally don’t respect my time.

Its ok, the AI predicted this and oriented the prongs incorrectly so there is no chance to accidentally plug it into an outlet.

New conspiracy: The government planned this decades ago and had the video ready in advance.

The duality of man

ortho - relating to straightness and perpendicularity

orthogon - a polygon with perpendicular edges (eg. a rectangle)

orthogone - absence of the orthogon

orthogonectomy - surgery to get the orthogon to be orthogone

Hard to tell if it’s a self report, or ad hominem lie floated as a joke, in which case he proved Robert’s point.

The glaze:

Grief can feel unbearably heavy, like the air itself has thickened, but you’re still breathing – and that’s already an act of courage.

It’s basically complimenting him on the fact that he didn’t commit suicide. Maybe these are words he needed to hear, but to me it just feels manipulative.

Affirmations like this are a big part of what made people addicted to the GPT4 models. It’s not that GPT5 acts more robotic, it’s that it doesn’t try to endlessly feed your ego.

Isn’t it against the tos of most of these AI companies to use their bots to deceive people into thinking they are real humans? Really there should be laws about this because currently the system is not working.

Much rather be woke than a sleeper.

It’s kind of hard to tell for this image, I think the background is probably real, or at least, created separately. but there are a couple sus features in the foreground. Superman’s right hand, the green jacket, and the apparent facial features of children I mentioned before.

It does have a signature in the bottom right, so I guess you could track down the artist to find out for sure, but with my first comment, I was just pointing out the comedy of kids with facial hair.

I love the kids with mustaches and facial piercings.

We could say that vampires don’t have a material body and they just alter the wavelength of light that passes through them to project a living form towards the eyes of living observers. That way they could be visible without having a reflection.

Then they could give themselves a shadow by shifting the visible light from bright light sources into infrared or ultraviolet instead of blocking it as material objects do.

I tried Minetest a while ago and was never really able to get into it. The new player experience was rough, a lot of decision paralysis. The texture style can vary between mods and servers. It didn’t feel very cohesive. I don’t know if that has changed since I last played, but to me it didn’t feel like a minecraft killer then.

From what I can tell, Hytale was supposed to be a bit like Terreria in 3D, as well as a platform for minigames. The gameplay and graphics from the trailers looked really good. I’m sure it would have been a Minecraft killer for some. (Ex. players who primarily play for the minigames like bedwars)

This shape could exist as a projection onto an upright cylinder, wrapping around the cylinder. The two straight edges go vertically along opposite sides of the cylinder. The curved lines wrap around the circumference. The lines are now straight and parallel on the net of the cylinder.

But we can go further: Imagine taking this cylinder and extending it. Wrap it into a loop by connecting the top to the bottom so it forms a torus (doughnut) shape. This connects both sides of the shape, now all “interior” angles are on the inside of the square, and all “exterior” angles are on the outside. The inside and outside just happen to be the same side.

I feel like that might have been the point. Rather than “using a car to go from A to B” they walked.

Arithmetic coding is one of my favorite algorithms. Any token predictor can be converted into an entropy encoder!

It may be worth it to decide how we define ‘unstoppable force’ and ‘immovable object’.

An Immovable Object has 0 velocity:

v = 0

Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity:

a = d/dt(v(t))

a = d/dt(0)

a = 0

And we know that

a = F_net / m

An object with infinite mass would satisfy this equation, but an object with no net force would too. We could add a correction force that will satisfy the constraint of 0 net force.

|F_net| = 0

∑F_i = 0

F_correction + … = 0

To satisfy Newton’s 3rd law, we would need a reaction force to our correction force somewhere, but let’s not worry about that for now.

A physics definition of ‘Unstoppable Force’ is:

|F_unstoppable| =/= 0

In this case the gravitational force fits this description, given a few constraints

F_g = Gm∑ M_i / x_i²

As long as the gravitational constant G is not 0, our object has mass, and

∑ M_i / x_i² =/= 0, then

|F_g| > 0

But this does feel kinda like cheating because it’s not really what people mean by ‘unstoppable force’. the other way to define it is just immovable object in a different reference frame.

a = 0, |v| > 0

I’m gonna stop here because this is annoying to type out on mobile

Something I figured out that was handy for guessing some human pieces was trying to figure out what the prompt would have been for generating the image. If I couldn’t formulate with words what the image was, then it was more likely a human artist.

On the other hand, looking at light, shadow, and reflections to see if everything made sense really didn’t help.

in a colloquial sense, from an end user’s perspective, the thing they see is “the algorithm”.

Yes, usually the default or most common method of aggregating posts is what people talk about when saying “the algorithm”

However, any method of sorting posts is by definition an algorithm. “top” is an algorithm, “new” is an algorithm, if you can compare two posts and have a method to choose which one to display first, that right there is an algorithm.

I’d actually argue that the “hot” algorithm is one of the more opaque ones. It sorts posts based on a composition of different metrics, and It’s unclear exactly what these metrics are and how they are combined.
