Even if it wasn’t a bot, why is she mad at unions when she’s barely scraping by? Unions would help her with that

Imagine paying $700 for a PS5.5

This might just be my computer-focused life talking

I’m a software eng too, but I have broad interests. Like I said, the philosophic use doesn’t really have a place in this discussion and I messed up by bringing it in. The only way it would be relevant is if the universe is a simulation because, as you guessed, then free will itself becomes part of the equation.

I also don’t know why predictability would be solely based on the numbers that came before

There’s a miscommunication happening here, and I’m wondering if I’m not explaining myself well. Election predictions use polling as their dataset, and there are no calculations that really go into predicting the results other than comparing the numbers within those sets. That’s why they’re notoriously garbage (every single pollster had Hillary winning in late October 2016, for example). Also, there aren’t any calculations that go into a CEO/Boardroom’s intuitions on how shareholders will react to policy changes, so I’m not sure about the relevance here. In the case of pi, there is no dataset that you can use that tells you what the next unknown number in pi is. The only way to get that number is to run a very complex calculation. Calculations are not predictions.

As I said, you can’t predict the next number simply based upon the set of numbers that came before. You have to calculate it, and that calculation can be so complex that it takes insane amounts of energy to do it.

Also, I think I was thinking of the philisophical definition of “deterministic” when I was using it earlier. That doesn’t really apply to pi… unless we really do live in a simulation.

There’s no way to predict what the next unsolved pi digit will be just by looking at what came before it. It’s neither predictable nor deterministic. The very existence of calculations to get the next digit supports that.

Note: I’m not saying Pi is random. Again, the calculations support the general non-randomness of it. It is possible to be unpredictable, undeterministic, and completely logical.

Note Note: I don’t know everything. For all I know, we’re in a simulation and we’ll eventually hit the floating point limit of pi and underflow the universe. I just wanted to point out that your example doesn’t quite fit with pi.

Yeah, but your number doesn’t fit pi. It may not have a pattern, but it’s predictable and deterministic.

If it changes the “entire world”, I would very much prefer it not to change the world for the worse, but that’s the current trend.

Hey remember that time when Trump’s biggest campaign promise was that he’d build a wall and have Mexico pay for it?
Or how about the time Trump said he’d arrest all the homeless people?
Or hey what about the time he promised to build freedom cities where free from government regulations?
Or what about that time he said he would go after colleges he didn’t like?

Biden mostly kept his promises, but also it’s sometimes better when they don’t.

Is there a way to copy the posted link to an article straight from the feed in Liftoff? When I hit “copy link” it copies the link to the post on lemmy. I do not want this.

They did. They’re also the reason why it took Uber and Lyft ages to break into the Vegas market.

Yeah! What color do you think it should be? I’m thinking red.

Yes, IBM is the parent company, but I was specifically talking about Red Hat buildings

Red Hat has multiple large buildings around the world, but that doesn’t fit the meme.

Just finished replaying FFIX (moguri mod) and FF7 New Threat 2.0. Now I’m playing Cosmoteer and Dave the Diver

I just finished playing through New Threat 2.0 on my deck. I can’t believe the quality of that mod.

My state is listed in the “required to pay full minimum wage” category. Good to know.

As I recall, restaurants can get by with giving workers well below minimum wage because of tips.

EDIT: I just re-read your post

There’s been a small movement towards going tipless that hasn’t yet caught on because tip culture is primarily backed by greed. Restaurant owners want customers to pay their employees directly instead of providing them with a decent wage.

I know I’m likely misrepresenting, but that’s the gist as I see it, and until greed goes away everything @dandroid@dandroid.app said holds true.

I have a feeling that most of the people who would have migrated to lemmy from reddit have already done it. July 1 will just be a send off.
