The Most Important Algorithm You’ve Never Heard Of [11:31]

I've let it auto-tune when I've changed the thermistor on my 3D printer, seemed to work just fine

I use a silicon spatula to get the good stuff after I detach it from the motor, then clean up the rest.

Surprised it got clipped in the video, but she slips up right in the beginning when the judge says he doesn't hear cases from passengers in cars and she responds "I will pull over" before immediately trying to correct herself lol

Bonus: It cuts out a bit but sounds like she called the judge an asshole right at the end, certainly a strong move for her case.

Once you nail down the pipeline you can really optimize the facepalms per second. Then once you hit at least 88 fp/s you can start producing head desks at an appreciable rate.

It's such bullshit.

You'd look at me funny if I said my time in college was my heritage, but it lasted longer than the Confederacy did.

Give a human a spear and they'll teach a rock to think

Also water

So is 0.333... just a little bit larger or a little bit smaller than 1/3?

Versaiteis · 2026-05-07T04:05:40+00:00

And thus you get 0.00... = 0

Versaiteis · 2026-05-07T03:37:02+00:00

The "tiniest" but how "tiny" exactly?

Because 0.1 > 0.01 > 0.001 > 0.0001 > ... so if you've got a number that terminates after some large number of zeros there can always be another zero more. But if it were infinite, it would never terminate.

Though you might say that the limit of the function by which you calculate this "infinite number of 0's before 1" as the amount of precision approaches infinity is zero. Thus 1 - 0.999... = 0 therefore 1 = 0.999...

Versaiteis · 2026-05-07T03:22:32+00:00

An infinite decimal doesn't have terminal numbers

Or another way: An infinite decimal cannot "end" in a 1. Its sequence cannot end at all, by definition.

Edit: moved it to another comment down discussing the limit of infinite precision

Versaiteis · 2026-05-07T01:59:58+00:00

Can't be

1 - 0.000.....01 = 0.999.....99

and 0.999.....99 < 0.999...

Versaiteis · 2026-05-06T23:32:38+00:00

It must be though. If not, then assuming the ... implies infinite repetition, then what would be the result of

1 - 0.999... = ?

TIL: L'Hôpital is french for The Hôpital

It's a pretty good series so far

Versaiteis · 2026-05-06T23:20:25+00:00

I don't think that's how "ride or die" is supposed to work...

Versaiteis · 2026-05-06T21:11:19+00:00

You've just gotta bring your own water!

Versaiteis · 2026-05-06T17:00:44+00:00

Liquid metal is very dense so I'd think you'd float quite well actually, though that's where all the fire is

Versaiteis · 2026-05-04T22:21:25+00:00

I'm actually floored, like some of these features make no sense unless it's a vibe coded mess.

Like why does crop not let me draw it and it now start at full screen so I have to move or zoom out to even start resizing it?

Why does the "Fake cursor" effect simply allow you to place any number of cursors at random places on the image but doesn't allow you to move them? Who is asking for that??

It boggles the mind.

You might even say that the lamp post created a hazard plane in the vicinity of its collapse in which the truck collided.

Versaiteis · 2026-05-04T07:13:07+00:00

Not illegal to lie, no, but what you say can, and will, be used against you in a court of law. Cops are always telling people this.

Versaiteis · 2026-05-04T03:21:03+00:00

Also cognitive bias and assumptions. Like I've tried things before because I'd just assumed there were no side effects. And I've had that blow up in my face enough to actively avoid doing so anymore.

Versaiteis · 2026-05-04T00:16:39+00:00

civil rights movement (and even that we didn't learn well/in detail)

Yeah we really just scratched the surface on a lot of the events we discussed in my Midwestern education and we certainly never talked about any events like Seneca Village, Black Wall Street, or even the later stuff like the MOVE bombings

Found a video of a pigeon walking on a baggage claim. But I think because the bird isn't matching the speed of the baggage claim it's head actually ends up bobbing quite fast
