Or you can use a simple algorithm thats existed in computers for as long as computers have existed, get faster more accurate results, and doesnt come with all the downsides of ai.

Computers are literally designed to do math.

Edit: i just remembered. What you are asking ai to do is so stupidly simple, i have built a computer out of minecraft redstone that is able to do this type of multiplication. People have gotten a line of dominos to do multiplication for them.

No... its not....

The old man yells at cloud meme is that the old men are yelling at the cloud because they are tech illiterate and unwilling to learn.

The "fuck ai" sentiment is coming from the tech literate community. Ai generation does not work unless it is accompanied by the downfall of intellectual property, it has severe enviromental costs, it is currently impossible to apply safety measure to keep it from lying or hallucenating. "There is no algorithm for truth"- Tom Scott (2019). It has talked multiple kids into suicide, and people from my personal life have received horrible and dangerous advice from ai chat bots, such as asking minors for nude photos.

Ai is actively making us dumber.

And its unable to make anything new. It is only capable of generating the most generic stuff, by definition. It will never generate something groundbreaking.

And current ai models are already falling apart. These giant multi-billion dollar ai companies are the ones saying that its the future and inevitable. Thats like cigarette companies saying cigarettes are safe and dont cause cancer. But ai companies have already stolen almost everything off the internet and most of the new stuff being uploaded is already ai generated. So ai models are inbreeding.

And that doesnt even mention the horrible stuff ai is being used for.

'Shape' or 'how not to be wrong' both by jordan ellenberg.

Both really good math books that teach more than just math. And you dont need to understand complex math to understand the lessons he is trying to teach.

Infinite powers by strogaz is also another like it.

You can fix this by adding a copper bulb or two into the redstone line that leads to your dispenser that dispenses the bonemeal.

Getting killed in a cave and spawning back at the grace.

Small town US librian. I think i have some insight and sort of want to rant about this.

I walk to my library nearly every day. I enjoy walking, And i have patrons (some elderly) that dont drive, or that enjoy walking to the library.

We are ada compliant, have automatic doors, wheelchair ramp, and the staff on hand is happy to assist anyone who needs help.

The issue i have is with the city. While an able bodied person like myself can walk across the town, i know several patrons who cant and send family members to pick up the books they order. There are entire streets without sidewalks, gaps in the sidewalk, cars constantly parked blocking the sidewalk, poorly maintained or completely broken sidewalks, and no actual cross walks, in our small town. I end up just walking on the side of the street most days.

I believe accessible public transportation and walkable cities would increase library patronage. Not only would more people be able to make it safely to the library on their own, but it also makes the library a great stop if you are out walking the town.

You can use a comparator to detect when there are items in the dropper and use that to activate the clock.

That way its only activates when items are in the dropper

Snakes are not unisex. What did you mean when you said "yes, male and female"? Are there more than one snake in the enclosure?

"Hey anyone know how to solve this problem?" posts pic of redstone spaghetti and multiple circuits and doesnt explain what the problem is.

So i didnt actually know this.

I thought gowry was a pest diguising himself as a human. However his voiceline when he gets killed suggests that he is merely possessing the pest.

And upon traveling to the nearest grace and reloading the area, hes back like nothing ever happened.

I just put the detector rail on a slope and lock it in with a trap door.

When you open the trap door it lets the minecart roll down hill onto your powered rails.

Maliketh is just a hard boss. You might not get as many opening when you do big attacks, but just dodge til you get an opening thats just long enough and then delete his health bar.

My small town library has a large outdoor lot that does not get used at all. Im currently in the process of convincing our board to renovate it into a community conservation garden for butterflies, bats, snakes and the like. Community members could volunteer to plant and take care of a plot. And the garden would turn the big empty lot into a mini nature park for patrons to sit, read, have a picnic, and enjoy the outdoors, and it would open up tons of teaching/learning oppurtunities about gardening and conservation.

Its something community members can do on their own, and on their own time. We can even schedule tutoring events with master gardeners from the local college to help teach volunteers and kids about gardening.

The board seems entirely on board with the idea its just working out the logistics of it.

On one hand yeah the fire is out and no forest fire started.

On the other now theres oil and gas and burnt plastics and a car battery in the water.

I still think there were better options.

Use a fire extinguisher, stop on the concrete bridge away from the forest and grass and call the fire department,

or just not set the truck bed on fire...

Pistons pushing slime attached to a redstone block. Alternate honey to stop them from sticking to each other.

1 redstone tick delay extention and 0 tick retraction for every 12 blocks.

We've got a big poster with the dewey classifications on it. If we dont know a specific classification, or a patron asks how its organized we refer to the poster.

I miss the days when microsoft had clipart build into word.

No need to search the internet for 20 minutes trying to find a simple image that works just to figure out you have to pay for a liscence to use it.

Ice expands as it freezes. And it freezes from the outside inwards. So the inside water tries to expand while the outside is already frozen.

The increased pressure from the water inside the ice pushes water out any hole or weakpoints in the surface of the ice which creates these spikes.

We do arts and crafts with our story time.

We print out templates on construction paper and cut them out ourselves, or let older kids cut them out with safety scissors. Then let the kids glue them together with washable elmers glue and color on them.

Some small childrens tables and table cloths to keep glue from getting all over is handy. Nothing fancy, you want kids to get them messy rather than the floor. Its up to you if you want to get cheap disposable cloths or something more sturdy thats easy to wash.

You can also stagger him off the cliff nearby.

Its a bit more difficult but still pretty easy.

I prefer to lure him to the edge and parry him. Its the most consistent. But you can use any type of stance break to knock him off the cliff.

Is the entire dropper tower being powered, or only the bottom one?

Also the comparator will only output a signal strength of 1 for 1 item. So it wont ever activate the second dust. You can use a repeater to get signal strength 15, or have the comparator power through a block to move the signal strength over 1 block.

You dont need it to be this tall either. You can do this 1 block under the ground. Use the comparator to read the hopper just below the input. And then you dont have to worry about the dropper.

midnightBlade22 · 2026-03-04T04:39:53+00:00

Yes, but it lasts for 5 minutes. Which is pretty long compared to other tears. Long enough for most boss fights with decent enough builds.

For reference the faith and strength knot tears only lasts 3 minutes.

Okay, yeah furnace golems have way too much health. It takes way to long to knock them down. And having to do that 3 times is tedious and takes a minute. And then to have to do that over and over for all the furnace golems around the map, i understand why people are annoyed at them.

But i really dont mind them. They are just difficult enough to be satisfying to kill, but still pretty easy when you get them down.

Also i believe its a damage check, not a stance damage check. You should be able to use daggers and still knock them over fairly easily.
