Its way cheaper for them to buy the politicians, and these people will never miss an opportunity to optimize the number in their bank account. The system won’t change without some serious turbulence.

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.

They beat the game. Theres not enough space on the board to make the next bigger tile afterwards.

They have taken between 32k and 64k moves to get to this point. At 1 move per second, thats 9-18 hours.

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.

The most powerful explosion is not end crystals (with an explosion power of 6), not a charged creeper, (also power 6), and not the initial wither explosion (power 7)

Bit hacker 2 is really fascinating. It uses a bit mask of all 1s (-1) or all 0s (0) and takes advantage of the fact that y ^ (x ^ y) = x and y ^ 0 = y

Im seeing a lot of hate, but these are both good songs.

Happy:

• upbeat and celebratory
• fun to dance to
• a nice contrast to pomp and circumstance

Africa:

• cool instruments
• fun to sing along to
• a classic rock song from the 80s

What a self report. This guy is complicit in turning the age of information into the age of propaganda.

“boomer” in this is just being used as slang for “old people”.

I occasionally use semicolons. They can help with parsing; finding a semicolon instead of a period may signify that the next expression is a continuation and expansion of the previous statement.

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

I thought that was exactly how copyright works. It is infeasible to keep track of every infringement, so a policy like that is unenforceable.

Also its not out of the question that those myriad of tetris clones each secured some sort of agreement with the tetris company.

I’d take a term of Mitt Romney over Trump. At least he

• had respect for the office
• could articulate sentences in a clear manor
• had a plan, and could explain it
• wasn’t a convicted felon/rapist
• had decorum in discourse/debates

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)

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.

BREAKING:

I have just been KILLED in a VIDEO GAME.

I LITERALLY started playing 5 MINUTES AGO and didn’t even talk in chat.

I have been VIOLATED for SIMPLY EXISTING.

1,500,000,000,000
       16,000,000
    3,300,000,000

Zillions of dollars!

Unless the lorry was driving over the exact geographic north or south pole.

Side note: the tallest lorry where the top doesn’t move faster than the speed of light at the equator is 3.8 light hours tall, which is weird to think about because the top doesn’t start moving until well after the bottom has reached it’s destination.

51 is more to my LIking.
