  Within that finite set, one combination is the complete text of Hamlet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. That’s the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This article fundamentally misunderstands the entire thought experiment by using finite monkeys. With infinite monkeys, we’d have the script as quickly as it is physically possible to type the script.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t matter in the real infinite monkeys thought experiment. The chance of an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters producing Shakespeare is 100%. That’s how infinity works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really not that long, if we can’t get monkeys to write Shakespeare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not bold, we’ve known how long the universe will last for decades now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of them is mathematically guaranteed to get the job done in time.

  In fact - and here’s the trippy part - an infinite number of them is mathematically guaranteed to get the job done in time.

  Hypothesis: every science journalist should be placed in front of a bitch-slapping machine for the rest of their career. Every time they think about writing an article, they get bitch slapped. This will greatly improve the quality of science journalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of the thought experiment is that you have infinite monkeys.

  That’s fair. But I think that’s kind of what I’m doing by combating the trolls. “Some of these people spout bullshit, but they get called out by the community”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux doesn’t work for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on how you engage. If you recognize a troll, don’t fall for the sealioning. Just call them names and make fun of them until they run away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but it’s important to refute their bullshit if we want the fediverse to get better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Subscribed! Great catchall community.

  You’ve convinced me to try mbin. I had a kbin account and I really liked it, but federation with lemmy was soooo slow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see em alllll the time. But I don’t block anyone, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that’s a fair point, but I’d rather shoot for what’s good instead of settle for “better than terrible”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One problem is we get people from ml posting on .world and other sane instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Small talk is important. It leads to big talk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got shadowbanned from reddit before even making a single post.

  I’ve said it before, I like reddit users but I hate reddit the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got shadowbanned from reddit before even making a single post. I can read but not interact. Fuckers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We should all defederate from .ml. That would be a huge step. We need to excise these extremists in order for the community to grow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just about the communities. We push communities a lot, and we do need more communities. But fundamentally we need a lot more PEOPLE.

  So you got nothing. Nice.

  Bubble bubble, toil and trouble

  Sounds tenuous. Gimme the full version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We absolutely have the technology, we just don’t have the money to gather the data. Or we haven’t chosen to allocate it.

  Carbon capture does not make money, wtf?
