This’ll sound unhinged but I think commuting by car is a lot like playing League of Legends (emotionally)

Feels like at least part of the issue is multi-lane pedestrian crossings. Most of the time that should either be single-lane, a traffic light or a tunnel/bridge.

- Comment on Let π = 5 2 months ago:
BTW the ratio of circumstance to radius for a circle which is also an equator of the space is ¼ not 1 (r=½π₀ , C=2π₀) .
I think you mean 4, which makes the ratio of circumference to diameter 2 (either way, no idea how I messed up that one).
- Comment on Let π = 5 2 months ago:
Kind of curious how you got that value. I think the ratio of circumference to diameter (“pi”) is actually smaller in spherical geometry, in the most extreme case (the equator) it’s just 1. You could say “pi = 5” for circles of a specific radius in hyperbolic geometry, I guess.

Does she spin clockwise or counterclockwise, and does it change when you cross the equator? Important questions
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 2 months ago:
That + mostly sticking to my subscriptions (coincidentally, none of them tech or politics) makes it feel like I’m on a completely different Lemmy
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 2 months ago:
Anecdotally, the communities I’m interested in are getting more active in a way that seems sustainable (as opposed to last year, when it was a always a single person posting some, getting no responses, and leaving). I’m pretty positive about the state of Lemmy and the wider threadiverse.

I thought this would be related to quaternions, octonions etc. but no, it’s multivectors and wedge products. Very neat, I didn’t know you could use them like that.
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 2 months ago:
Yeah sadly the rotations of Earth around its axis, the moon around Earth, and Earth around the sun don’t divide each other nicely
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 2 months ago:
We should “just” switch to base-6 (or maybe 12) first
- Comment on space 2 months ago:
My view has always been that space is “round”, that there is no end of the universe because it just loops back around. Apparently this is all still unknown.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 2 months ago:
Infinite by definition cannot be “low-balling”.
I was being cheeky! It could’ve been that the set of non-Turing-computible problems had measure zero but still infinite cardinality. However there’s the much stronger result that the set of Turing-computible problems actually has measure zero (for which I used 0% and the integer:reals thing as shorthands because I didn’t want to talk measure theory on Lemmy). This is so weird, I never got downvoted for this stuff on Reddit.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 2 months ago:
The cardinality is obviously non-zero but it has measure zero. Probability is about measures.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 2 months ago:
Infinite seems like it’s low-balling it, then. 0% of problems can be solved by Turing machines (same way 0% of real numbers are integers)

The trick is that there are companies/people that would commission an artist but go for AI instead because they don’t want/need actual art if it’s more expensive

Similarly, it looks like a.gup.pe groups don’t work here even though they’re basically just communities

It’s like the darkest pattern. Making it so that quitting has to be a conscious choice. I see why amoral companies would use it, don’t know why FOSS would too.

- Comment on Why is defederation an option when Limit/Mute exist? 3 months ago:
That easily accessible list exists, at least. For you it’s part of lemm.ee/instances
- Comment on Why is defederation an option when Limit/Mute exist? 3 months ago:
Or because the other instance’s users keep breaking rules. I guess even then there could be an option to ban them from all your comms but still show their comms.

- Comment on What are some good games with *zero* replayability? 3 months ago:
You could still replay them for the same reason you’d re-read a book (like to catch things you missed the first time around). Definitely different than less story-focused games though

- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 3 months ago:
There are definitely people that bounced off Lemmy for whatever reason. No idea how many though, I myself had 4 accounts on various instances before I settled on this one.
- Comment on How much difference does a CDN make to a fediverse instance? - PieFed 4 months ago:
Oh I love the topics list. It already helped me discover a new community. I assume right now it’s curated by someone, would be cool if there was a way for communities to just apply tags to themselves. They could even be turned into hashtags, whenever someone posts to that community, as a kind of link to Mastodon.
