True, but I would struggle to beat them in a 2nd amendment debate.

Time to switch to dota. Smite 2 also coming out soon…

It smells like you da toilet.

Not from an algorithm.

Turing Incompleteness is a pathway to many powers the Computer Scientists would consider incalculable.
- Comment on FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison 1 month ago:
Imagine being able to pay off a 10 billion dollar debt with just 25 years in prison. Proportionally, any normal person that defaults on a regular amount of debt should logically be able to rectify that with just a week in the county jail. 10 billion buckaroos for 25 years is dirt cheap.
Meanwhile, Vietnam is seeking the death penalty for multi-billion dollar fraud because of the untold damage done, and a lack of remorse by pleading not guilty and trying to get away with it. The US just can’t seem to beat 'nam when it matters.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 1 month ago:
Sounds like you already have a solid plan.
If you have any old laptops or desktops you could convert those instead of using a Pi, but the Pi will work wonders as long as it’s not going to be a 4K TV. Your only real concern here is making sure whatever device you use is able to output video at the TV’s resolution and display hertz.
You’ll probably have more difficulty finding a TV that isn’t a smart TV, than finding a home theater device that is capable of streaming nowadays.
- Comment on Are there any good, apolitical right-leaning podcasts out there? 1 month ago:
I especially enjoy generalization fallacies. They’re one of the good ones.

I too believe in false comparisons and slippery slope arguments.
- Comment on Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation 2 months ago:
Lmao nah. Lemmy is just decentralized censorship. Anyone can ban or block anything else; anyone can start their own community instance and kill it on a whim. Multiple communities have already defederated in the less than a year that I’ve been on here.
Lemmy solves the issue of centralized censorship/echo chamber communities, by replacing them with individual personalized echo chambers that you get to censor yourself. It’s a lot of work to set it up and sustain that type of situation, so it’s not realistic for a rational person that does not have a severe internet addiction to waste their time and effort doing it.

Has something to do with “car ownership” I believe.

Imagine writing this headline in a universe where daylight exists rofl.
- Comment on When people say the phrase "Don't hate the player, hate the game", it removes responsibility from the player 3 months ago:
The player’s job is to play optimally; the rules dictate what is and isn’t optimal play. Not just limited to capitalism, this concept is a big part of game theory.
- Comment on What is the average temperature of earth? 4 months ago:
You will have a very difficult time finding this. The average temperature of all molecules on earth is absurdly difficult to calculate, nearly impossible to gather data on, and not something that’s very useful for any practical calculations so no one has bothered to do it.
Black body radiation is probably more what you’re looking for, I would suggest starting there.
- Comment on IBM demonstrates useful Quantum computing within 133-qubit Heron, announces entry into Quantum-centric supercomputing era 4 months ago:
Classical Computers count numbers and do math on numbers. Quantum Computers count collections of numbers and do math on entire collections of numbers.
One is like cooking a full course meal on a single stovetop, the other is doing the same but using an entire restaurant kitchen. The end result is the same meal, but the approach was different. The home chef classic computer has to cook things in the order they were served in, but was able to clean dishes and prepare each step. Problems could be identified and fixed swiftly, buIt took a long time and there were probably a lot of delays between courses so it wasn’t the best meal and a lot of shortcuts and hacks are done to keep things moving.
The restaurant chef does the whole thing all at once and staggers cook timings so everything arrives at the right time. They have no time so they need to carefully plan ahead and set things up, then they have to burn through a shitload of energy making the meal. If anything goes wrong, the whole thing collapses. It may take a higher level of skill to make the meal, but that skill is still founded on the core principles found at home cooking and can even be used at home in a limited manner.
Technically quantum computers can’t do anything new, but the speed boost allows us to do things that are currently impossible. Doing more math at the same time in huge batches is the compututational speed equivalent of breaking the sound barrier.
- Comment on When is season 4 anyway? 6 months ago:
They also don’t really force their will onto the Moclans. Sure, everyone else fundamentally disagrees with them, but they still respect Moclan sovereignty. The Orville’s federation is content to let them live as they choose. Instead of demanding compliance they agree to disagree. The crew focuses on guidance and assistance so they can help their Moclan allies figure it all out on their own terms.
- Comment on Why should I use rust (as a Go enthusiast)? 8 months ago:
You should learn Rust because you think that the language is intriguing and that controlling the lifespan of a variable is an interesting feature.
