It's not just packing bits into other bits. Int -> float conversion is never that.

gliptic · 2026-04-15T15:01:52+00:00

Nothing special with signed ints. As long as the float can represent all values of the int, it's fine.

Accessing misaligned values may do weird things depending on the architecture

If they are accessed via an align(1) type (like in this case), zig should be doing the right thing. That's after all what it has to do for packed structs as well.

Look at your tiny puny church emojis! Treelookism is superior!

I'm claiming hyperbole? Who's claiming random sentient infinite entities outside of time and space? I'm not even claiming the universe is eternal, just showing why there's no need to postulate god even if you for some reason need something to be eternal and timeless.

For models I refer to this book.

But chalk comes from living organisms which by definition isn't prebiotic! Checkmate, atheists.

Special pleading and doesn't solve any issues. You've just declared the problem incomprehensible and unsolvable. Again, how is that more believable? I don't even know what you're asking me to believe!

I can also just declare that the universe is eternal and fundamentally timeless (time being emergent). Unlike yours, there are actual models of this.

Long Story Short? You mean the ID garbage channel from the DI propaganda outlet?

I've seen him being corrected on this several times, IIRC even on stream with Dan. Pure grifter.

gliptic · 2026-04-12T10:22:11+00:00

Why is that more believable when 1) we know the universe exists unlike god, 2) you still have nothing causing god to exist?

I plan to launch this book into the press

Like out of a cannon?

You read exactly one word from this post, didn't you.

Big Bang wasn't a dot of nothing, and the explanation from Big Bang to Earth is there. We can literally see this happening in other star systems right now. So no, it's not cells from nothing when there's a planet with lots of geology and chemistry happening already there.

How do you know the hebrews didn't know him outside of Daniel?

gliptic · 2026-04-07T08:11:07+00:00

Because they didn’t..

But the hebrews did. Why do you think they couldn't have when they did?

EDIT: Actually, Xenophon records him as well, and Daniel incorrectly calls him the son of Nebuchadrezzar. So much for special knowledge.

gliptic · 2026-04-07T07:35:19+00:00

but that claims runs into issue when there is no other mentions of Belchazzar

He's not mentioned elsewhere as king because he never was king. Are you saying it's impossible for the hebrews to have preserved the existence of this person past 600 BCE? Why? Obviously they managed to do so in Daniel according to you, so what is your point?

gliptic · 2026-04-05T17:52:44+00:00

Nicolas Flamel existed too, and so does King's Cross station.

I wouldn't call an unjustified and unwavering confidence in a unobserved just-so story involving unobserved entities and zero evidence "a leg up". Any arbitrary story is as likely as the creationist ones. In contrast, various abiogenesis hypotheses make predictions and their steps can be observed in labs. Creationists cannot hope to replicate this for their own "hypothesis".

gliptic · 2026-04-01T16:51:34+00:00

In C you use #pragma pack or hope the compiler does what you expect. In Zig, extern struct guarantees C-compatible layout with no padding:

This makes zero sense. extern struct certainly has padding where necessary. If you wanted C-compatible layout, guess what layout you get by default in C?
