I mean it makes sense when you think about how the circles arrange in an infinte square and e.g. 4r square. There has to be some fuckery between the perfect packing and the small square packing. You can see a triangle of almost perfect packing in the middle of the 49 circle square, surrounded by fault lines in the structure and then some more good packing, and garbage in the bottom.

sorry. 0-dimensional cat moving in 2-dimensional space.

Is cube a simple shape in physics? It’ 3-dimensional and It’s gonna do all sort of crazy flips due to aerodynamics and moment of inertia. I would prefer a 1-dimensional point like cat.

You can definitely hammer a screw, but why would you?

I disagree. Time actually stopped around early 2010’s. Seasons change and shit, but stuff isn’t changing no more.

Patience mostly I think. At least with rodent they smell a trail and then just sit there for hours and hours until one walks near enough.

I was amazed by the intelligence of an LLM, when I asked how many times do you need to flip a coin to be sure it has both heads and tails. Answer: 2. If the first toss is e.g. heads, then the 2nd will be tails.

Yeah data got unlimited here before texts, which caused people to move on to other things. Now texts are usually unlimited, but that train has already sailed.

Can you for example send a video, encrypted and to your computer via SMS? I don’t know how much tech they’ve built over the protocol over in the US, but in many parts of the world SMS was charged per message in your phone bill and things like photos or video cost more to send. People abandoned SMS quickly when 3rd party IP messaging apps like whatsapp came out.

The $40 watch is probably better at telling time because there’s a crystal oscillating there exactly 32768 times a second, instead of some gears and springs and shit that are roughly tuned to 10 Hz by a guy with a screwdriver.

Except that 1 gram of water is at 1 bar. Heating up 1 gram of water from 300°C to 301°C takes 1.38 calories.

I’ve heard people in the US still use SMS to communicate with eachother. Fucking crazy.

…but it would be the same time in different locations? E.g. at the time I’m writing this it’s 660DFD56 in New York, London, Moscow, Tokyo, Moon, Mars, Andromeda etc.

My man.

it’s storageConfig instead of storageconfig since the CRDs got upgraded to v0.4+, you idiot.

Hey we did all sort of crazy shit with linear algebra, vectors matrices and shit in college programmlng. Now I sometimes do some basic arithmetic in work life. E.g:

n = n + 1

Don’t need the Google Files for that. I can use the terminal to rename a file.

Your phone is measuring time by counting how many seconds has passed since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC. Doesn’t matter if you’re on android or apple, the OS is based on ideas of Bell Labs people’s ideas from the 1960’s.

As long as the non-experts somehow manage to make a living to pay for our expertise. I heard a coworker vent about her son who wants to drop out of school (assuming elementary / middle) to focus on his streaming career…
