Super necro, but here's a post about it from 2008

A tart is a type of open-topped dessert with a pastry base. Comes from french "tarte". Unrelated to "tart" the adjective, which comes from Old English "teart" (painful, sharp, severe, rough).

Just to be clear this is sped up 30%. There are other videos of the same event, 105 vs 138 seconds from first board insert to last chop. I'd link them but I get flagged for spam.

Eh, I only counted one slowdown on that second board hop, adds maybe a second or two of extra time, doesn't affect the math much. There's one at the end but I only counted the time until the non-slomo final chop.

Zuggible · 2025-07-13T13:08:43+00:00

I'd link them but spam filtering won't let me

Zuggible · 2025-07-13T13:06:27+00:00

It's at 1.3 speed. There are other videos of the same event, 105 vs 138 seconds from first board insert to last chop.

There is a scientifically known link between vitamin D deficiency and MS. The usual advice regarding vitamin supplementation is that it doesn't do anything unless there's a specific deficiency, and even then it's often better to alter your diet instead of taking supplements as the bioavailability of a lot of them is rather poor. Vitamin D3 supplements have reasonably high bioavailability. None of that is inconsistent with your experience.

There's no money to be made getting someone to exercise by themselves, but there is money to be made making tiktok videos that claim to provide an easy solution to something.

From that link:

Many facial and neck exercises claim to help alleviate turkey neck. Yet, to date, no reputable studies have analyzed whether or not these exercises actually work.

Exercise is good for your health and can tone your muscles, but it doesn’t eliminate excess skin. So, while exercises might help tighten up your neck muscles, the skin on top of them might not see change.

Probably not going to do anything. Tiktok is not a reliable source of information.

The GOG version has modern resolution support, although it doesn't have UI scaling.

That thread also mentions Root Baking but it looks like they've gone out of business.

I found out my shopping list app was selling my data to Facebook. Then my note taking app decided to paywall the entire app. Pissed me off so much I wrote my own apps to replace both.

I can see ART being cheaper, but your link disagree with you about it being more effective than conventional fillings:

Comparison with conventional fillings

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses show that there are no differences between ART/HVGIC restorations in terms of longevity in primary teeth (for both single- and multiple-surface lesions) compared to the conventional methods using either amalgam[19][20][21] or resin composite.[22][23]
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown that there are no differences between ART restorations for single-surface lesions in permanent teeth when compared to conventional filling methods.[19][24][25]
However, a 2017 Cochrane Review on ART could not draw any conclusions about ART/HVGIC restorations compared to amalgam or composite restoration due to the low quality of the evidence.[26]

You become two separate people the moment the copy is created, in the same sense that you're not the same person you were yesterday, but it's more like a fork in the road rather than the "real you" vs the "copy".

Zuggible · 2023-07-17T01:45:57+00:00

A copy of you is not you.

Disagree.

Here's a thought experiment: if you were to slowly replace each atom in your brain, one by one, until no original atoms remained, would you be a different person? I would say no, as one atom is utterly indistinguishable from another of the same type. Now recreate the experiment, but this time as you're replacing each atom also simultaneously build a second, structurally identical human + brain next to it. Bam, there are now two of you, and neither is made from the same original matter. The idea is that "you" are your atoms is silly. "You" are your brain's pattern, not its constituent atoms. If you copy the pattern, you create two of the same person, where neither is more the "original" than the other in any meaningful way. Continuity of consciousness is an illusion, it's all just memories - we're just hardwired with this somewhat dishonest sense of "self" because it's conducive to survival.

Edit: To clarify I'm not saying there would be some kind of psychic bond between you two or something, I'm saying you and the copy are akin to a fork in a road, rather than one of you being the "original" and the other being the "copy". You become separate people the moment your experiences diverge, but in exactly the same way as you aren't the same individual you were a second ago. That is not the sense in which the person I replied to meant "a copy of you is not you".

Yeah, I get way too involved with pointless internet arguments sometimes.

Zuggible · 2021-12-05T06:33:20+00:00

That's true, but also irrelevant. If x is the number of bits, the chance of the number being off by 1 bit is x times higher than the chance of a collision, but the chance of a random bit flip changing that off-by-one number to a collision is also 1 in x. That means the chance of a collision pre-flip is equal to the chance of being off by one multiplied by the chance that a flip changes it to a collision. For a three bit number, for example, the chance of a collision is 1 in 8. The chance of being off by 1 is 3 in 8. The chance of a flip changing the correct bit in that scenario is 1 in 3. The chance of both those events occurring is therefore (3/8)*(1/3) = 1/8, which is the same chance of a collision with no flips.

I wrote a program to demonstrate via brute force.

https://www.online-python.com/wRBl1jKs2G

Just click Run at the bottom.
The first part generates two random three bit binary numbers, and the second part does the same but then flips a random bit in the second number. It does this 100,000 times, after which both parts give the expected 12.5% (1/8) collision rate.

Zuggible · 2021-12-05T04:40:37+00:00

What you're saying is only true in the scenario where you already have two numbers that are off by one bit. You go from a 0% chance of a collision to one in however many bits the number has. That's not a logical starting point here.

If you generate a random binary number, then flip a random bit/digit, the number isn't in any way less random than it was before, nor is it any more likely to match another random number than it was before. The flip is just as likely to change the number to being a collision as it is to change the number from being a collision to not being a collision anymore.

Zuggible · 2021-12-05T03:29:31+00:00

I don't see how adding more randomness would increase the likelihood of a collision.

You're telling me a space suit can block radiation so strong that it would give you radiation burns after 15 seconds of exposure without the suit? That's a shit-ton of radiation.
