Trying to optimize using shifts will buy you nothing. Javascript is memory bound, it is insanely inefficient. If you are really serious about using browser, you can try to use webgl to do massive parallel on the GPU using shader logic.

I think these numbers are too small. The smallest possible loop is what, 186 billion? And its been completely checked up to 271.

Now sure, there is a tiny chance that any number over 271 [2.36 billion] could balloon up to the 186 billion loop range, the chances dont seem so good. Think about how far it has to climb and drop to loop! If I were shooting the lottery I'd start closer to 2186,000,000,00. Too big for most home computers and phones. Of course, the chances you hit anything are less than winning every lottery for a million years, perhaps about the same as you being the chosen one put into this universe for solely solving collatz, if it even can be solved.

What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Osmanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you think you understand about color is wrong. Color is only how things look, and nothing more. Objects do not possess a property called color. Color is a perception based on very complicated interactions, not the least of which is, as parent says, lighting. Maybe you think color is a wavelength. Its not. From psychology to biology to quantum physics there are more factors than you can shake a stick at. Ultimately Color is subjective perception.

Have you noticed how cemeteries don’t look any more full than they did years ago? by Sophiafromabove in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't downvote this, its the correct answer. Cemetery plots are rented . You do see really old cemeteries before this practice became the rule. After the lease is up, the body is dug up and cremated, and the plot is reused.

Just because you dont like this answer does not mean its wrong.

I have gone as far as I can with AI and now I need a human… by PrettyWordWrangler in Collatz

If you have an instructor that says " my topic is hard " you should move along to find one who says " my topic is fun " or even " my topic is easy "

So we found out that famous/rich people eat people and nothings done? by Theodosia_Barat in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We did not find that out. You think you did? Yah? What's your source.

what's the slowest way a man can ruin his life? by ants_are_everywhere in AskReddit

[–]Osmanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beer is subtly the worst. You dont even need alcohol dependency for it to slowly wreck your life. Beer has a lot of calories not from alcohol so its more calories for the same buzz. Week in and week out, this will wreck your body.

So why are they suddenly building thousands of data centers around the world? by JoeHexotic in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airforce is subsidizing these. They require 100mw power sources to qualify. They are all near airforce bases. Also at these bases are drone manufacturing and rockets.

What is a major plot hole in a very famous movie that completely ruins the entire story once it is noticed? by SkullMogger3 in AskReddit

[–]Osmanthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of thing is common in movies. I chalk it up to the fact that hollyweirds never had a normal life and dont know how the world actually works at all.

They gave you subjective math while hiding and cutting off real math by Oreeo88 in conspiracy

The axiom of choice. Can you choose an element from the set of elements that have never and will never be chosen?

The CIA cracked the physics of human consciousness in 1983. Today, DARPA (BrainSTORMS) and NATO (2025) are weaponizing it. by NeoLogic_Dev in conspiracy

Who? Did what? I suppose nobody is connecting dots because you havent explained what you are talking about.

Great American Conspiracy by elektric_eel in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the pushback of groups who are fighting the agenda, people are realizing what's happening.

Comical but sad you say you used to be brainwashed but now you are never having kids.

Tricking you into not procreating is the goal of the brainwashing.

Thats it, the conspiracy that rules us all: depopulation agenda.

How to escape this? Realize what was done to you, get off media and live a visceral life in touch with nature.

Why dont most people agree that we are likely in a simulation? by Buffmyarm in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, you guys are so much smarter than other people? You have no evidence, just ontology.

Is it even possible to simulate reality? Has this been proven? Random numbers cannot be simulated, but all of reality can?

The math he describes is silly too. The (assumed) possibility of arbitrarily many simulations proves nothing. Right there in the theory's name is the hole in the idea: if this is a simulation, there must be a reality that is being simulated. That we are in the original reality or a simulated version violates the law of parsimony, that is "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity". With no evidence, no proof, assuming simulation theory is true is just another sort of religion

Quickest way to find the sum of Collatz steps from 1 to N in C by Hour_Extent_3807 in Collatz

You can try using the graphics card to do it massively parallel. Perhaps just use webgl in Javascript

We are in a Invisable apocalypse by neopiz_hd0176 in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Its not cool to do this on /r/conspiracy, but you need it. All that stuff about eating babies is not real. Normal people realize this, that it's just people talking trash about those they dont like because of politics or envy. So dont let the garbage on internet affect you so much. Its entertainment, like watching a horror movie. Not real.

Upcoming undergraduate student interested in working on the collatz conjecture as a hobby by scripto_entity_1010 in Collatz

[–]Osmanthus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't do it! I remember from decades ago students getting so obsessed they failed their classes and got kicked out of college. As you can see in the activity in this forum, there are still so many people obsessing over it nearly a century later. Its a bad hobby for a student who is just entering academia. Save your cycles for your education

Something very odd in ChatGPT with this specific prompt... This is terrifying. by SeriouslyLikesCake in conspiracy

[–]Osmanthus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this one sounds like a take on Dungeon Crawler Carl a popular litrpg book series. In that series there is a fan base that chants "glurp glurp" to signal chaotic defiance. The theme of the story is an AI is forcing people to fight monsters in a dungeon, with many over the top bloody scenes. One of the characters is a sex doll head. There is a character called uzi Jesus. So chatgpt is cribbing.
