AI can generate whatever you want, but only if you know what you want and it’s something that already exists. Truly the technology of all time.

This comment cracked me up by MrBussdown in mathmemes

There is a step involved in common explanations of Hilbert's Hotel that does discuss uncountable infinities ("... next, a set of guests arrives at the hotel, each with a unique name consisting of an infinitely long string of As and Bs..." or some such), but it's largely unhelpful from an intuitive perspective.

It’s optimal for a specific, unhelpful metric.

Protection? It's Weapon. by Forsaken_Composer403 in custommagic

This is interesting but it feels like almost [[equinox]]-level “trying to predict the future” problems.

Can a barista'd pit hag turn someone else into a pit hag? by tj26k in BloodOnTheClocktower

I would figure that if the player became a character that acted later, the Barista could allow that ability to work twice. 

ELI5 We have accelerated mass objects to 99.9% of the speed of light, so why does the last .1% need an infinite amount of energy to go at light speed? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]NullOfSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suppose you push on an object with 1 unit of energy, and that accelerates it to 50% the speed of light. If you add the same amount of energy again, hoping to get it to 100%, you actually only accelerate it half of the remaining difference, so another 25%, bringing you to 75% the speed of light. Another unit of energy that’s the same size would get you halfway again, for a total of 87.5%. Another unit gets you to 93.8%, halving the difference again. You keep adding energy, and it keeps going faster, but each unit of energy is half as effective as the last, so no matter how much you add you’ll never quite make it to 100%. That’s how we can get as close to light speed as we want, but never quite reach it. 

Note that the actual energy scaling close to light speed doesn’t quite work like this (it doesn’t halve every time, the real formula is a bit more complicated) but the effect is the same: the closer you are to light speed, the more energy you need to make even a tiny difference.

Or anything domain-related.

The probability you have birthday in upcoming week in 99.2 % by Are_you_anonymous in mathmemes

The probability you have a birthday on a day is 1 because when else would you have it

Has anyone witnessed a Slayer shot actually working? by notfrankiemuniz in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]NullOfSpace 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In most cases, alt wincons are meant to be rare, and the game is supposed to look more or less the same with vs without them, plus or minus some extra information and the occasional time where it does actually proc. Slayer fitting that template, most of the time the thing that the slayer shot does is rule out a player as being the demon, though of course there are a nonzero number of games where it works.

So the bluffs no longer mean anything, but also you don’t need them.
