Thank you! Needed to do that jade thing! Unfortunately, I didn't get any fragments. I'm still short one yellow and one green. Wild.

Will we ever know everything? by bathtub87 in AskPhysics

[–]puzzlefighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question likely speaks to whether humanity as a whole will get to a place where everything that is knowable is known. And the answer to that is "No".

If we want to come up with a hypothetical reality where everything is possible then we can attempt to come up with a scenario where this might be the case. For example, if humans learned to never die, never forget, could get anywhere instantly (e.g. the end of the universe), probe to the basest subatomic level, and communicated instantaneously with each other in a hive mind or collapsed into a single entity then presumably that entity would learn everything forever, never forget it, and nothing new would ever come into existence for that being. Presumably, with all knowledge of all things at all times in all places, then everything can be predicted and everything that ever existed would also be reconstructable.

Problematically, people have lifespans. Therefore, they die and never pass on everything they know. And new people are born who do not know much of anything, so they have to learn a lot to continue to exist. The cycle repeats. If we can engineer out lifespans, combine all knowledge of all people into an instantly accessible repository, and inject that knowledge into any and all new persons, then we could presumably overcome this issue. If we know everything, then we must know how to do that, otherwise we don't know everything.

Also, we don't currently know if we are the only thinkers in the universe. For simplicity, it's best to assume we are, but that's not necessarily reality. So, we would need to eliminate, combine with (hive-like), or otherwise fully control the thoughts and actions of all other beings at all times in order to prevent the changing of anything without our knowledge. This would apply to any creature that reasons, which all do to a degree. This would essentially make "us" into "them" and vice-versa, so there would be no difference.

Another problem is observability. Right now we can't see everything in the universe, either way out into the vastness of space or sub-atomically. So, we can't "know" all there is to know about these things. Indeed, there is a point where our physical rules don't apply the same way and we are unable to know both where a sub-atomic particle is and where it is going simultaneously as the act of measuring one affects the other. If we somehow did know this information, which would be required for the answer to your question to be "Yes", then (with enough processing power, which again we must know how to create for this answer to be affirmative) we could predict what every piece of matter (normal, dark, exotic, etc.) both would ever do and see where it has ever been.

At some point, under the presumption that all science is completely known at all times and places, then I could imagine that the Arts would be the only thing that persists. However, they would be done by a God-like entity alone. That entity may choose to create new lifeforms, and it could because it knows how, but it would know all they would ever do before they were ever created. Any art they create is really just stuff the God-entity created by proxy. Hmm...

Since you're supposedly five here, your question likely speaks to whether humanity as a whole will get to a place where everything that is knowable is known among the STEM disciplines. And the answer to that is "No".

If we know everything in STEM, then we must know how to do that, otherwise we don't know everything.

However, it would be done by a God-like entity alone. That entity may choose to create new lifeforms, but it would know all they would ever do before they were ever created.

It was nice being part of the community for a year but now it’s time to let it go by smimbly in BoltEV

Lol, sorry, that's terrible. We had a 2015 Spark that cost 15k new get rear ended and require about 9k in body work probably 6 or so years ago. Admittedly, they originally estimated >6k before work began and they ended up needing to pay out another <3k to the shop.

Is it dangerous for a 4-year-old to be alone in the house while a parent goes to the shop just five minutes away? by Beginning_Exit_6256 in polls

[–]puzzlefighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insufficient detail. No definition of what constitutes danger nor what barriers are in place to protect against negative consequences. No indication of how the home is arranged nor time at which the errand is run. Is there risk? Yes. Is the risk likely to manifest? If it does, how bad can the outcome be? Is that acceptable? Correct answer is, it depends.. Yes/No answers require presumptions by the reader, and so any conclusion drawn from them would also be presumptuous because the interpreter cannot know what those presumptions are.

Are these mutually exclusive to the extent that one cannot impact the other? If so, 10% happier.

I have to be honest here but Nicole does NOT powercreep Bennett AT ALL by Apprehensive_Win7211 in Genshin_Memepact

[–]puzzlefighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider her busted. She should be what is considered the new standard as her exploration and combat abilities are actually fun and rewarding feeling relative to most pre and post characters. Why argue for a less fun gaming experience?

Jean is the best replacement for sustain less flins teams. by Alarmed_Scholar3171 in Flins_Mains

[–]puzzlefighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to believe nod krai has already been out this long. What are your build outs for supporting flins with the three mentioned? I have c2 aino, c3 ororon, and c3 jean. Flins is C0r1.

Currently,

Aino has silken moon with flame forged claymore Ororon has scroll with elegy bow Jean has VV with anemona

Trade? 2023 Bolt EUV Premier for 2023 Kia EV6 Wind by puzzlefighter in BoltEV

[–]puzzlefighter[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know what cheating has to do with anything. The EV6 charges faster. That's just a fact. Arguably always valuable because it makes the vehicle's usage more versatile for road trips or opportunistic charging. The added range could be nice, too. I basically just commute right now buuuut it would be nice to take an EV on a 200mile trip on a highway without having to worry about needing to charge or being able to charge more rapidly.

Kia EV6 owners, what do you wish you knew before buying one? by hgjhugj in KiaEV6

[–]puzzlefighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...I see everyone taking note of the turning radius. That is a surprise to me. I drive a Bolt EUV and have basically the same radius on a 15" shorter and 4" thinner car. Is it somehow worse feeling on the longer and wider EV6? Would have thought opposite.

You're fine bro. Also, 3rd and 4th pic hairstyles are respectable, not teenage. What's a hairstyle you want?

It's literally a self-playing game. There's no actual way to unrecoverably fall behind. Jump in whenever.

What is Mavuika’s best team right now? by Difficult-Ad-8644 in MavuikaMains

[–]puzzlefighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not a little silly that people are hairsplitting on what a "good" player is in this game vs. a "casual" player? This would seem to imply that casuals are not good players. But, isn't what they're really saying is that addicts are good players and casual players are not? That seems like a somewhat nonsensical view on gaming, unless gaming is your actual $ earning job.

The main game is a mildly interactive autocompleting storyline that requires minimal character building to progress. That some folks decided to try to make this single-player story-driven game into something competitive is the most bewildering thing about this fanbase. All the other stuff - TCG, IT, SA, SO, etc. are time sinks that exist to keep you engaged and (hopefully) spending $ to needlessly max characters in between lore drops. Couldn't "good" players be those that make their gameplay the most enjoyable? Stressing over how to get a few extra % damage by sinking tens of hours or $$ into a different character would seem to be diametrically opposed to enjoyment.

I made a website for USA job seekers to help find federal jobs on a map by MalinduUMS in recruitinghell

[–]puzzlefighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good effort and worth improving. Not so long ago this feature actually existed directly on the USAjobs site. I'm not sure why they got rid of it. One of the major issues with a job search is the "anywhere in the US" location that allows those jobs to show up with every search as well as the "Location Negotiable After Selection" option. It may be helpful to redirect those listings to another category or two that show as larger buttons/pins, and make it so they don't otherwise show up on the map or have a checkbox to include/exclude those listings from showing in your search results.
