Half the “gamers” I am friends with play CoD on nVIDIA laptops, with a couple that wanted more serious with a PC and switched to AMD.

I personally have bounced between the two with no bias over many years. I just get what’s best at the time and don’t care about the label on them. Right now, AMD offerings are a clear winner. It’s a no-brainer.

And as things have gone, it’ll be nVIDIA’s turn again at some point.

(E: never mind that, as has already been suggested to you, the theoretical thought experiment in question specifies not only infinite monkeys, but infinite time too, so they’ve not stuck to either parameter)

Whoah, whoah, whoah… Big critical thinker here thinks the paper is about disproving a thought experiment?

You understand that this is impossible? Even if it were attempted, such a venture is more a philosophical one, not a mathematicians forte.

Obviously the paper is not looking at that, it’s doing math

“Yes, it is true that given infinite resources, any text of any length would inevitably be produced eventually. While true, this also has no relevance to our own universe, as ‘reaching infinity’ in resources is not something which can ever happen.”

That needing to be pointed out to you is… Well you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t waste my energy “critically thinking” yet 👍

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

the time it would take for a typing monkey to replicate Shakespeare’s plays, sonnets and poems would be longer than the lifespan of our universe.

Which means that while mathematically true, the theorem is “misleading”, they said.

Gotta read the articles 👍

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

Without looking into the actual stats, it’s so incredibly common it’s normal. There are pedantic pros and cons to both; it’s trivial. But more people have a second toe shorter than the first.

Haha, yes. I try avoid the /s tag, and felt the italics did it.

And this is why you don’t get invited into other people’s showers.

Disgusting. I hope you’re happy, Swifties.

I hear lyrebirds in Australia mimic what sounds like human noises sometimes and it’s weird.

It’s rare and isn’t as “spot on” as documentaries make it out to be, but when it happens it’s always been when rock climbing in an area for most of the day and sometimes one comes along. They seem to pick up on the noises hikers and climbers make in those areas, which is mostly talking, laughing, cheering, etc. But like, it sounds nothing like another human, but you know that’s what it’s heard because it sounds like humans in the distance, just 10-20m away. Then they mix in random bird calls and it’s fun to guess each bird it’s trying to be.

It’s kind of surreal; certainly interesting. Terrible distraction when you’re supposed to be belaying someone who’s halfway up a cliff 🤣

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Oh, yeah. I forgot Ametica is racist so people do think about those things there.

Getting desperate. No one would care if Harris worked a junior role there or not. Almost no one would care about their job history in general.

That’s exactly how it felt. Like her imagination had daydreamed the scene long enough, it was time to put it out to the universe and be approached by all those agents and producers crammed in the commuter carriage of the inner south line.

I’ve been stuck on a train with a girl wearing headphones and singing along to Savage Garden. We all suffered.

She was even shutting her eyes tight and doing these ones…

If you’ve ever listened to just the vocals of a song without music, it was that, but also awfully off-key because she, of course, could not hear herself. Obnoxiously, I think she thought she was putting on a performance we were all impressed by. No one was impressed.

I sometimes use an LLM to “tidy up” my work and paste a bunch of writing in to see if it comes up with anything better. Some parts it will, others it won’t, and I’ll use or tweak some of it. I wonder if that counts? It’s all my work going in, but it’s using other people’s work to make adjustments.

“Chad” is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be relaxing, I’d be doing shit that might have me enjoy relaxing later. Relaxing when not needing to relax is just making excuses for slothfulness lol

The middle-aged man knows that’s exactly what every other middle-aged man and those older than them are thinking.

The snake eating its tail in preparation. Or, preparing for the snake eating its tail.

I’m classy. I make my partner wait while I get it on the TV so they don’t have to move.
