Someone on twitter had the idea that he could use the camera to take a picture of the character (or his whole password) and copy/paste it using the built-in ocr feature. I don't have a text password on my iphone so I don't kn

In a cold climate it's essential to have air/insulation between the floor and ground.

I wonder if you could partially get around this by using the "ghost kitchen" model. Offer food only for delivery, but then "hire" customers to deliver their own meals if they want it cheap.

Curious how you set it up. Do you have to manually update it when inflation data comes out, or is it automatic?

Seems like YT is mostly focusing on the interaction between streamer and audience (which makes sense because streaming is big with young ppl rn). I understand "ambient streams" to be more like a setting for a group chat or chat ro

I think you're right that contributed, but at least the federal EV subsidy was trying to mitigate that effect by also subsidizing used EV purchases. I just bought a used PHEV and got a subsidy right before the cutoff. So the effect mig

I do wonder if early world explorers had been from the southern hemisphere and a tradition of "south up" was already established, if it would still look better to us to have more land on top.

Also if the map is flat on a table, more stuff is closer to you.

Careful, though. There isn't a constant "pi" for all metric spaces. Using distance along the surface of a sphere, the ratio of a circle's diameter to circumference depends on the size of the circle.

With tetration you're not dealing with orders of magnitude anymore, but orders of magnitude of orders of magnitude.

Fun post! I drew the first 5 iterations by hand myself and I'm finding it easiest to think of as a self-similar coloring of a square tesselation. If you start with the shape of iteration 3, it tessellates as a 5x5 square tile. Make an

As someone who doesn't develop in python but occasionally tries to run python projects, it's pretty annoying to have to look up how to use venv every time. I finally added two scripts to my path for `python` and `pip` that automat

Would it be easier if only the lowest bits of the index contributed to the "entropy"? Like if the 2^16th UUID was the one right after the first and n + 2^16 was the one after the nth. You wouldn't notice the pattern but it&#x

Maybe "unleashed" to connote a potentially dangerous power is loose.

The goal is the same as Tetris – to last as long as possible before overflowing. This just doesn't have the mechanic of gradually getting faster.

I kept being surprised seeing air-breathers deeper and deeper. I had no idea narwhals dove down to the depths where things live on hydro-thermal vents. Also that penguins have been near twice as deep as scuba divers.

I thought I was using GPT-4, but it appears that's only available to paying customers so far? The question I was getting repeated wrong answers to was "Can you make up a palindrome that starts with 'Dude'?" If you w

When you correct it, it always seems to say "You are absolutely right! I apologize for the mistake," and then it gives another wrong answer with the same fully confident tone.

I feel Penrose P2 tiles are better in that sense. I think you could craft something with that kind of "fractal interestingness" by using color to emphasize the larger regular patterns that can occur in a Penrose tiling. https:&#x

When you say "Any number can easily be described by x" aren't you already using Choice? And doesn't "let x be one of those numbers from the set of numbers that cannot be described with finite symbols" seem a bi

by mckeed 4y ago
That's the point though, right? Without Choice, there need be no way to select a number or subset from the set, so there's no paradox.

Cool, I was wondering if this would be useful for farmers. Could you share more info on how multispectral images would be used?

I wrote a ruby script to map out the graph and fed it into graphviz to make the image. https://graphviz.org

Interestingly, you can hit all of the top 3 rows without going below the queen except for needing g4 to get to and from h6.

I mapped out the structure of the board as a graph of which squares you can get to from which other squares. It's surprisingly stringy without all the squares forbidden by the queen placement. https://i.imgur.com/8OuQcu

Wouldn't this strategy still allow performance gains when running on a processor that does NaN propagation?
