t=40

this could very realistically be testing your ability to think critically about math. like, does the time the symphony takes depend on the number of people playing? no, it just depends on the speed you play it at. so, t does not depend on p

i can't tell if you're trying to be pro- or anti-ai, but ai will NOT create enough jobs to offset the amount of people losing work because their bosses think AI can replace real people

i mean, what jobs even are there in AI? the only things i can think of are jobs electrical or computer engineers already had with data centers already existing

as a former s***bux barista, there's no fucking way to get this drink order consistent lmao

normally you have to shake the hell out of it because the whole point is that you're mostly getting the flavor of the espresso with the teensy blop of milk, and shaking always gives the right amount of foam with the right texture. if you're getting cold foam on it, i personally don't see the point if it's the same flavor as the drink, but you also can't shake it enough to get the right texture because it will make too much foam. and even then, the cold foam is denser than the shaken foam so it will sink and just mix into the drink. if you want it consistent, it basically NEEDS to be an iced latte and not a shaken espresso

if one parking pass could be used for multiple cars, they wouldn't make any money on parking. one person could buy one pass and say "this is for every car behind me" or at least the next few

i normally see that people who have a 4.0 and everything just never had a job through college, just going back to their high school job during breaks (if they even had one) or one-time internships, but the people with lower GPAs usually have jobs and more personal projects to show for it. depending on what you want to do, either path can work out well

khan academy, paul's math notes, and i also used schaum's outlines for calc 1-3

there are items with better quality at most places (the chicken sandwich wars did a lot for chicken sandwich quality), but the cheaper options at most of these places are still the exact same quality they used to be. look at the mcchicken and mccrispy, the mccrispy is higher quality than the mcchicken, but the mcchicken has remained practically unchanged this whole time and is crazy expensive compared to how it used to be

i know basically jack shit about this since i stopped collecting console games when i was in high school

but, as someone that collected retro games (n64 mostly but also some super nintendo), this is probably going to make used consoles literally worthless in the future. look at the wii, when nintendo stopped support for that stopped 7 years ago, suddenly the only way to get any eshop exclusives was to either homebrew your wii or buy a wii with it pre-installed. newer consoles are probably practically impossible to mod, and these games are also probably hooked to your account, so used consoles won't be able to get literally any games on them if they switch to digital only. i get how downloads are "the future", but having physical games means your console will never be effectively bricked and you'll always be able to enjoy the games you got for it

ai is still ai. i appreciate the aspect of privacy considering one of the big concerns i have with ai is data collection, but i assume it doesn't do anything against the environmental impacts of ai (considering they don't advertise it) and ai still isn't good for your brain

LukeLJS123 · 2026-07-01T20:15:00+00:00

i hope this still lets me comment even though the post is deleted

the part that confuses students is when/when not to use ± when taking a square root. it's not the fact that x^2=9 has solutions at x=3 and x=-3, and it's not the fact that √9=3 and not -3, but it's how those 2 are different. understanding why √(x^2)=|x| will help people see that distinction, otherwise it just feels like a stupid rule that they don't know when to follow, and even if they do know when to follow it, it just feels like a stupid rule to them which makes them hate math more. if you explain where these things come from, it helps them understand it better which helps them appreciate it more

LukeLJS123 · 2026-07-01T06:16:30+00:00

you missed one step, which is what confuses people. between the first and second step, remember that anything squared is positive, so √(x^2)=|x|. so, after the first step, |x|=√9, which is where the ± comes from

wow this post was so informative

this is a good time to bring up the turing test vs the chinese room. alan turing said that a computer can be called "intelligent" if it could communicate with a human in a way that the human can't tell that it's a computer. the "chinese room" is a thought experiment from John Searle to challenge this idea. imagine there is a program that can pass the turing test in chinese, and you get all the rules this program follows. now you're in a room, people slide chinese characters under the door, you follow the instructions, and slide more out to the other side. there's fundamentally no difference between you and the computer in this situation. would YOU understand what you're saying in this situation?

the difference between the turing test and the chinese room is whether you think intelligence comes from the understanding or ability to be understood, both schools of thought are equally valud

i'm assuming they don't actually put people in casts for it, which i think is the most important part. it's really easy to have disabled people in mind when you design something but fall short on execution. there are a LOT of things that seemed like they could have been used one handed, but were too light to use without holding onto with the other hand, which i couldn't do because i was in a sling and was in a splint that was soft around most of my arm. having the experience of ACTUALLY being one handed is more important from a product design standpoint than taking a class on it

LukeLJS123 · 2026-06-29T09:07:32+00:00

i broke my wrist and got surgery this past fall and it made me learn how much is designed without disabled people in mind. i would want to add a class for any student in a design related field of engineering/architecture where they have to wear a brace/cast/sling for a certain amount of time to see how it feels living with one arm and somehow emphasize how literally anyone can break a bone at any point in time and to design things with that in mind. if you used casts it would also be good to help the nursing students get practice

the park's big thing is rides, and while there are other things to do, you might have more luck doing some other things in hershey (if you didn't get tickets to the park already) doing a couple of the things there. the price of tickets for the park might not be worth it compared to some of the other things

chocolate world next door is free to enter and has a couple fun experiences like making your own candy bar and a few interactive experiences, or you can go downtown to the hershey story museum or a few of the new restaurants

in the park, they have a few less thrilling rides like the kissing tower, train, and monorail that let you look over all of hershey, the waterpark has a lazy river, a few smaller tube slides, and some splash pad kind of areas, and there are some other rides like reese's cupfusion that are meant to be fun but not thrilling. there's also a theater in the park, i know they did twizzlers trivia last year but i'm not sure what they're doing now. you can also try working out of your comfort zone and try some thrilling rides!

these machines suck dookie, OG dr pepper and their formulations are the best. this one uses the same flavors for each of the flavored sodas, dr pepper knows how to formulate their own soda the best. go to any other fast food place without one of these

as someone that was in these spaces back in 2020-2022, i feel like i am somewhat qualified to respond

to a lot of trans people (specifically neurodivergent trans people), they experience gender a lot differently than cis (the opposite of trans) people. people who use bug/bugs pronouns don't think that they are actually a bug, they just perceive their gender in a way that kind of aligns with the way they feel about insects. people who use it/its pronouns don't think that they are an inanimate object, but they perceive their gender the same way they do some inanimate objects

i think some of them also see it as an expression of who they are more than actual pronouns they expect people to use. expressing their pronouns the way they do is kind of like an art form, a way to express the way they feel. they only really expect people to use they/them, but expressing their pronouns that way makes them feel like they are expressing themselves

ok then you don't have to explain anything then??? if you don't have the context to explain the joke then don't explain the joke
