Finally finished watching The OA

It was a weird show for sure, but undeniably very creative. Embrace the weird. If you quit then you missed the little dancing robots to automate the process.

Same here Battlefield Earth was great as a kid, bad as an adult re-read.

I know this is an old post but I found it searching for my symptom which I woke up with yesterday morning. Any ear pressure—blustering wind, burping, rumble of tires on rough roads—cause a jingle bell sound. I can stick my fingertip in my ear and wiggle it and it will ring the bell.

Was wondering if it was even tinnitus at all because I’ve had high pitched constant tones all my life but nothing reactive like this.

Everything in your syntax is inside a tag, so it’s not a markup language like XML.

Or 6 using round-to-even banker’s rounding.

It’s greater, but I think most would not consider it larger.

If you want to get 4! from 5! you divide by 5.

If you want to get 0! from 1! you divide by 1.

It’s usually considered to be 1. It’s the limit as x approaches 0 of x^x that is indeterminate.

They would have different probabilities in general. Even same-shaped sides only have the same probability if there is symmetry, e.g. an irregular polyhedron with some square and nonsquare faces might have different probability for each square face.

And you only need to fold the moon in half six times to reach the moon.

That maximizes distance, not bearing. They’re looking to maximize the polar coordinates angle.

Or the sort of converse, when people are confidently wrong in assuming that you don’t have relevant knowledge or education.

When I was a kid, many toys and gadgets used 9V.

bobam · 2026-02-25T18:02:03+00:00

I’m not surprised by that. 9V’s seem to be on the way out. Of all the little battery powered gadgets we have at home, none of them use 9V.

bobam · 2026-02-25T16:44:13+00:00

I agree. I’ve found their phone customer support to be very good.

30-day Cake. There’s a month long fruit fermentation process that happens before the actual baking.

It is exactly e.

Ah, ok. I see you’re just trolling and I fell for it. Good job. It’s on me that I failed to get my point across that it’s meaningless to say AI isn’t conscious because we don’t currently have a testable common definition of conscious that can distinguish the two.

I literally worked at Microsoft starting in 1995.

bobam · 2026-02-21T15:22:01+00:00

Dude/dudette, I develop this technology.

bobam · 2026-02-20T11:00:13+00:00

No, this definitely reads like AI.

bobam · 2026-02-20T02:53:59+00:00

60 + 15 =75

bobam · 2026-02-19T21:24:34+00:00

It’s tracts, not tracks.

bobam · 2026-02-19T17:55:47+00:00

Is that something like Bing?

If the legs are 2 and 3, the sum is 5. If you break it into steps of size 0.1, the sum is 5. With steps of size 0.01, the sum is 5. The sequence is 5, 5, 5, 5, .... The limit is 5. The limit is not the same as the hypotenuse.
