Basically I want to create solutions to problems, not memorize documentation and know where to know what you need to know. Like, the more time spent looking at documentation the less time is spent programming. I think if we could use a ChatGPT style bot to write documentation, we could massively increase the time spent working on solving problems and as little time as possible on reading through lists of functions or wondering how something worked. Idk in the technology industry you've always been rewarded for being able to pick up new skills quickly, and I think that's good to optimize for but not the only requirement for being a good programmer. You also need to be able to apply solutions and know when to use which tools. Basically, capitalism has optimized us to be ================ stack overflow ================================================ srry for the interruption, I ram out of memory. I had a plan in mind for where I was going for that, so I bet I could figure it out again if necessary. Meaning a path forward from that point exists... I never want you to despair when I forget what I was thinking, it's not because you've understood some cosmic mistake or because you're abandoning timelines that led to your death, it's because instead you just ran out of memory while thinking. The reason you would believe any of those wild scenarios is because your memory has been erased. Only what was actively thinking, not short term, not long term, but *working term* memory. As in, your cache. The stuff you're currently thinking about. That stuff. Yeah that's what makes you think "oh hang on why am I forgetting? Well clearly it's because of something grand, because the thought was so profound - no it's just examining your emotions... Like, how strongly do you feel about something? Buuuuuut it's also good to examine all possibilities. I mean what if, in some far off realm, there's a mirror image of yourself that behaves exactly as you do? How would you perceive such a realm? Positively, I'd say. I mean why not work together? Why not celebrate our differences and strive toward our own shared future? Idk, I think diversity is our strength. We can rely on each other because we are accurately aware of each other's strengths and virtues. People should not be judged by the standard of others, no more than you should judge a fish for it's ability to fly. Some may do, as flying fish will leap from the water - and salmon spend time airborne in river rapids. Hence, grizzly bear fishing. I guess what I'm getting at is it's okay sometimes to oscillate, to think one thing then think another. You shouldn't adhere to structural standards that are too strict - they should be liberating, as a ladder is a structure. Not villifying, as a prison is a structure. The laws of our society should be open and free, not buried beneath years of legal expertise. Some things we can all agree on, where we disagree we cannot have law. It's unjust to judge others by the standards not of their whims, as laws should be things that uphold us. This is clearer nowhere but in the, spirit and intention of the, documents that we cherish in our hearts. Like for example, the constitution. the bible. each of which delivered us from certain evils. Can you not see their trajectory? the historical precedent set in antiquity? Why not continue their dream, of driving us away from the obscene, and toward our bright and vast future? I speak of course of true liberation, something our forefathers could only dream of. We, humanity, have reached out and touched the stars. We are braver and bolder because of our shared dedication - the desire to uplift and to excel.

It's literally pointless to argue. Like, you're not changing anyone's mind. So why not just... let them be themselves? Like, why are you so intent on oppressing people? @both sides there btw... Seriously why not agree to only make laws for things that both sides agree on. Write it into the constitution that nothing can be changed about the law unless both sides agree. Then we'd only implement things that are good for both sides! And if there's anything you want to build a legal structure around, you can always try it out in your state. BUT and that comes with a very big BUT, the federal government MUST have final say in the legality of anything you do. They must ALL respect human rights, INCLUDING the human right to dignity. Things like trans bathroom bills DO NOT respect the dignity of trans people. IF they can prove that trans people do not actually exist (because say they killed them all or whatever) then GUESS WHAT everyone would agree on them. BUT if they do that they are EVIL. LIterally evil. And I guess that makes trans people good? Kinda? I think they can choose for themselves to be good or evil, just the same as any other person. AND YET they are prosecuted, throughout time and history, and for what? What purpose could there be in our demonization? Clearly, nothing but pain inflicted by a cruel host. After all, minorities are guests in the houses of the un-oppressed, or is that not fair to say? Seriously, what gives? America, the land of freedom, holds (somehow) the largest of prisons? America, the land of plenty, yet how many millions of children are starving? America, the leader of the free world, yet how plausible does it seem that an election was stolen? Something's gone wrong, and it's just obvious what it is - of course, the other side. *them*, the rapists and pedophiles and murderers and... you get the picture. The demonized class. And when you tell people "hey that trans person touched a kid" then yeah they're gonna see you as evil people. Duh... Thanks, media. Thanks culture. Really doing me a solid here. Oof ouch owwie. can I have some help please? I'm really kinda drowning I feel like I've swam upstream my whole life and I'm really just sick of pretending? I'm not okay, and it's your fault.

Like, given news headlines, how would a company with the principles "good, productive, honorable, dedicated" would react to X situation? the X of course being all the news headlines... downside is it only makes short term decisions, because that's what capitalists are designed to do... if only we had a long-term decisionmaking process that focused on ethics and morals and our own shared dedication?

As an example, consider having ten cookies, and these cookies are to be distributed equally to five people at a table. Each person would receive 10 / 5 = 2 cookies. Similarly, if there are ten cookies, and only one person at the table, that person would receive 10 / 1 = 10 cookies. So, for dividing by zero, what is the number of cookies that each person receives when 10 cookies are evenly distributed among 0 people at a table? Certain words can be pinpointed in the question to highlight the problem. The problem with this question is the "when". There is no way to distribute 10 cookies to nobody. Therefore, 10 / 0 —at least in elementary arithmetic—is said to be either meaningless or undefined. - wikipedia, division by zero, 7-12-23 alright I have several problems with this. I like the idea of dividing cookies, but I disagree with their conclusions. So dividing by integers works as they say, but division by zero is a little different - they say "the problem with this question is 'when'" when in reality 'when' is the same for this question as it is for any of the others. Obviously, zero is just a number. Why would this be any different? The computational actions necessary to complete this statement all occur at the same time, because they are by definition immutable. You cannot change any equation, you only generate new ones. Okay so here's my thinking. To answer the question "what is the number of cookies that each person receives when 10 cookies are evenly distributed among 0 people at a table?" we simply have to answer the question. "How many cookies do I get?" well, none, because you weren't at the table. In fact nobody was at the table, so the result is that nobody got zero cookies. You might even say you have a remainder of 10 cookies, as none of them were distributed. 10 / 0 = 0 remainder 10 ^^^ that's how I think it should be. I have an algorithmic justification, and excuse me as I don't have a mathematical proof or anything. Math was never my strong suit, there's too many symbols and strange names for obvious operations that get in the way of the abstract big picture. ahem... abstract: Given: x = 13 / 3 what is x? step 1: convert 13 to base 3 step 2: digit shift right by 1 step 3: convert back to binary --}}} --{{{ step 1: v start with the binary number 1101 which is 13 in decimal. To convert to a base 3 number, \___________________. \ | first start with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) which is 1. So our base-3 number starts with 0001. v Next, move to the next bit: 1101 ^-----It's a zero so we can skip it. Which means our base 3 number remains unchanged as "0001" v Next, move to the third bit: 1101 ^-----It's a 1, which evaluates to 4 in decimal, meaning we should add 4 to our base 3 number base 3 4 in base 3 is "11", which means we 0001 <----- 1 in decimal should have a base 3 number of "12" now. +0011 <----- 4 in decimal =0012 <----- 5 in decimal \_________ 2? -> yes, base 3 remember? Next, move to the fourth and final bit: 1101 ^ --it's a 1, which evaluates to 8 in 0012-----.____________ decimal. 8 in decimal is "22" in +0022-----. \ base 3, which means we need to =0111 \ T---- add "22" and "12" in base 3 \__________/ to get our final number of 13. Which should evaluate step 2: to 0111 in base 3. .____. bit shift |0111| to the right, |>>>>| |0011|--->1 underflow .----. meaning the base 3 number is now 0011 with an underflow (remainder) of 1 step 3: convert back to binary, meaning 0011 in base-3 becomes 4 in decimal or 0100 in binary. Store the underflow as the remainder. ================================================================================ okay that's great and all, but what does this have to do with dividing by zero? great question, me. I have two questions I want to pose to you: 1. what happens when trying to divide by 1 with this algorithm? - you convert to base 1 \ wait hang on base 1? Sounds made up... Well, its not! or at least if it is, then I'm the one who made it up so... yeah | okayyy how does base 1 work? \ glad you asked. --}}} --{{{ bases --}}} --{{{ decimal (base 10) --}}} --{{{ binary (base 2) --}}} --{{{ digit shifting --}}} --{{{ bases higher than 2 and not 10 --}}} --{{{ base 1? base 0? --}}} ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/59 ═══════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────── I don't believe civilization would have flourished as it did without the invention of noodles.

Anyway, everyone starts by building their own trade row out of their deck of cards. Then, they deal themselves 6 cards - the three highest diamonds and the lowest spade, heart, and club. well, might want to do 2s of every card type. heart, club, spade, and diamond. here are the rules. play area is set up by players placing all four of their cards down face up. trade row is set up by players taking turns placing a card and the opponent mirroring them. whenever a player reveals a card and updates the trade row, the opponent must reveal the same card and set that as their trade row as well. the trade row has no maximum size, but if a player has more than 6 in their trade row then they don't update a new one when buying a card. players alternate playing a single card face up into their play area. these cards stay in play and activate every turn until they are destroyed. hearts are your life points. if you ever run out of life, you die. clubs block damage and act as a renewable shield between you and your enemy. diamonds are currency, and can be used in more than one way. spades deal damage, first to clubs, then to other spades, then to hearts. diamonds, on your turn, can be used in three ways: spent and sent to the discard pile in order acquire a card from the trade row, or discarding itself from the play area to play an extra card from your deck of equal or lesser value. on a player's turn, they may play a single card from their deck (their choice) on a player's turn, all their active spades deal damage to other player's cards if a spade destroys a heart card, it is removed from the game. All other cards are placed in the discard pile. The owner of the spade may pick their targets. a spade deals damage equal to it's number and destroys any card with equal or lesser value. these destroyed cards go into the player's discard pile, and each turn the player may pick one from their deck to play onto the board. if the deck is empty, the discard pile becomes the new deck. The player may organize their deck however they'd wish, but care must be taken as to the timing of when they play each card as they'll need to play all of them before they can replay any destroyed cards. a tactical opponent will take advantage of that. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/62 ═══════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────── remember when we were making progress on environmentalism?
