Boy trickle down economics sure is looking GREAT, huh?? Share holder success is better than ever, now if we could just do a thing about those pesky peasants… They better not go after poverty assistance or work benefits, that comes out of our taxes, can’t have our portfolio drop a fraction of a percent, can we?? Yep we’ll just exploit the masses until there’s nothing left and then… Uh…
Better keep that handy for your big dick energy after you showed Gen A who’s boss 🙄
I threw this at ChatGPT, it was entertaining.
Q: If you had a chessboard with dimensions comparable to the standard world chess tournament boards, and placed a grain of rice on a square, and then moved to the next square and doubled the amount of rice on that square that you used in the previous one, and kept doing this pattern of picking a square and placing twice as many grains as you did on the last one, approximately how many squares could you fill before the rice starts to overflow into other spaces?
A: Let’s analyze the problem step-by-step to determine how many squares can be filled before the rice starts to overflow.
Understanding the problem: You start with 1 grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard. On each subsequent square, you double the number of grains of rice from the previous square. This means the number of grains on the ( n )-th square is ( 2^{n-1} ).
Capacity and overflow: We need to find the point at which the total amount of rice becomes excessively large, potentially exceeding the board’s capacity. This problem is fundamentally a geometric progression and exponential growth problem.
Chessboard specifics: A standard chessboard has 64 squares.
Exponential growth: Let’s calculate the number of grains of rice on a few key squares to understand the rapid growth:
Total grains on the board: The total number of grains of rice after filling all 64 squares is the sum of the geometric series: [ S = 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + \ldots + 2^{63} ] The sum of this series can be calculated as: [ S = 2^{64} - 1 ] This is a massive number: [ 2^{64} - 1 \approx 18.45 \times 10^{18} \text{ grains} ]
Practical limitations: In reality, the amount of rice that can fit on a square or even within the confines of a board or room will quickly become unrealistic after a relatively small number of squares. For example:
Given the calculations above, the exact square where the rice starts to overflow would depend heavily on the physical capacity of the square, which we’ve assumed to be quite large in this hypothetical.
Therefore, if we were to realistically consider overflow within a standard physical context, you might see overflow happening anywhere from the 20th to 30th squares, given the doubling nature of the sequence.
Dude we literally have that unix_surrealism comic there’s at least some love for BSDs here
There’s a lot of us neurodivergent folks in tech because it suits our needs better than a lot of other fields, and a lot of us just love technology
We’re more prone to being LGBTQIA+ than neurotypical folks, scientifically documented
Makes sense tech would have more trans folks as a result, we pad the numbers a lil bit
This is of course a generalization and actual ND/LGBTQIA+ presence is going to vary based on job, location, how insufferable management is, etc, and not all NDs are LGBTQIA+ and vice versa.
If it wasn’t for those rascally penguins I would be flat broke trying to afford the latest system requirements for Windows 12 or a mediocre MacBook instead of a $120 5 year old Dell Latitude, how dare they!!
I know what you’re getting at and this isn’t directed at you and I know this is why it’s done, but the capabilities of the phone don’t have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It’s a dumb way to make a profit.
Modern Israel is not Judaism! It’s not the same theocracy described in the old testament. It’s not even religiously pure, there’s a sizeable Christian and Muslim population. It’s perfectly valid to respect Jews and and their beliefs, and to criticize Netanyahu’s government for attempting to crush Palestine and kill its civilians indiscriminately in raids. Jewish folks in the US and abroad are joining in the protests to stop the war - this isn’t about being antisemitic, this is telling a very atrocious government to stop behaving as a similarly atrocious government did 80 years ago
Floridian boomers, xenophobes and christofascists keep putting him back in
This is why I cringe at cell phone manufacturers selling cloud and AI features based on phone models because wtf you’re not running that cloud on that handset so why do you gatekeep the product behind that model? It can’t require that many resources, it’s a cloud app!
That’s it, I’m only using epoch from now on, that’s enough of your time zone shenanigans
Yeah yeah shut up Jack nobody cares
Poor Tux, it’s a rough life
You sure your laptop isn’t splitting graphics to an Nvidia DGPU? Usually it’s flawless unless I’m using Ubuntu specifically
But do you pass ant
I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn’t care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?
I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don’t get it.
The Canonical cycle:
Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for
Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu
“Resolution” impacts Ubuntu use negatively
Users get the pitchforks
Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely
Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having
Repeat ad nauseam
A lot are still doing that and haven’t moved up
