dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Just looking at the thumbnail of this post reveals to me that reddit has takgen a bad step. An icon which scales well and is highly recognizable changed to something that looks like a badly generated figure which is way less recognizable. The added colors will make it look worse on different colored backgrounds as well. Not great.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Reaching almost 5000 meters is very impressive, and I love the plan of popping the balloons with a BB-gun to control the descent. I’m almost annoyed that they fined this unique effort.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Inter planetary javelin throws? Maybe just add a dart board on Mars while we’re at it.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

0 is very cold, 100 is very hot. So 50 is perfect room temperature, right?

Nope, you still have to adjust to an arbitary selection of numbers within that range, so it’s not really any more helpful than celcius if you don’t have experience with the scale.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

A pretty general explanation is that a number consists of an length and an angle on the number line. Positive numbers have angle = 0. Negative numbers have angle = pi (or 180° if you want to work with degrees instead of radians).

Multiplication is an operation where you add together the angles to retrieve the resulting angle and multiply together lengths to get the resulting length (yes, kinda recursive, but we’re only working with purely positive numbers here).

So 3 * (-3) means
Length = 3 * 3 = 9
Angle = 0 + pi = pi (or 0 + 180° = 180°)

Of course this is very pedantic, but it works in more complex scenarios as well (pun intended).

Imaginary numbers have angle pi/2 (or 90°) or 3pi/2 (or 270°). So if you for instance want to find the square root of i, you can solve it by finding the length:

1 = x * x

And angle:

pi/2 = y + y
(can use modulus 2pi to acquire 2 solutions here)

Solving the equations and resolving the real and imaginary part with trigonometry, we get

1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)*i

And

-1/sqrt(2) - 1/sqrt(2)*i

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Isn’t this pretty much optimal on dry surfaces? The patterns in the tires are for draining away water, and nothing else. I mean, look at F1 tires for dry roads.

But the tiniest splash of water will send you on a rotational journy into what’s straight ahead.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

After getting caught in a bank robbery, stealing thousands of dollars and traumatizing bystanders, the robber can just say: “No one gave me a fair notice this was illegal”

Is that pretty much the level of this claim?

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

If we somehow discovered a supernova (or anything, really) beyond the observable universe, I believe the astronomers would be very very happy.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Norway has a weird obsession with making translated acronyms for well established terms. Lately, after many years of use of “AI”, the Language Council decided that the term should be changed to “KI”, as that is the “correct” Norwegian acronym. Not only does it feel wrong to say, but it invades another local acronym for me.

To top it of, that council decided to make “KI-generated” the “word of the year”, which seems like a pat on their own shoulder to brilliantly making the acronym.

I hate it.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

We have the same with EEA (european economic area, that part of EU which norway is a part of). It’s EØS here. It makes it convoluted to discuss, especially since EEA is mainly brought up in international subjects. And the actual words behind the acronym is never brought up, so the acronym serves mainly as a name, making the differentiation even more useless.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

It’s a bit of a mix. I think people generally say AI, but every source which aims at using Norwegian in a formally correct way are starting to adopt KI. Many radio hosts seem frustrated, as they are suddenly required by the producer to switch up an acronym they have been using for several years.

Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.

TL;DR It was an old Wang system, 286 processor(I think, anyway), with no hard drive, a 5.25" floppy drive, and a lovely green monochrome monitor. I didn’t have it long enough to reach the point where I could have identified the actual hardware/specs....

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

A laptop in 2007. I don’t remember the details. I believe it had 2GB RAM, since that was the main metric for bragging about computational power back then.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

At some point it increases by 1 for each year you live!

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Nope, reaching that screen of the game is a true first for any human.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

I’m guessing the gloves provide low and consistent friction theoughout the game. It’s probably easy to get either sweaty or dry fingers during a long run, which could probably ruin some precise movements.

It’s just my guess, though.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

A vote for libertarians is effectively a vote for dems/reps, whoever you support the least. That’s the beautifully broken part with “the winner takes it all”-elections.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Poe’s law.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

I thought we agreed that he was in a quantum state, a superposition of all children’s homes, relying on not being observed as it would collapse the quantum state.

dQw4w9WgXcQ, (edited )

The wind resistance shouldn’t be dependant on the mass. Shape of the sleigh would be the real factor.

But another thing to consider is that the gigantic mass and heat capacity. Given that the sleigh has a good heat distribution, it would take a lot of air resistance to actually make the sleigh combust. I don’t have a decent guess for the average heat capacity, so I don’t actually know if it’s significant enough, but the calculation is more complex than just looking at the speed.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

In an ideal world, maybe the votes would be weighed by the expected remaining life span of the voter.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

You know how the sun radiates an incredible amount of power through millions and millions of tonnes of material undergoing nuclear fusion every minute, and the sun is expected to last for millions of years?

Well, not that much. But it’s still a lot!

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

They are also a great tool to use in place of tabs or spaces to make java developers lose their minds.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

I mean…

They are divorced, and there was a dispute over several months (or years) to resolve the divorce with several rumors about cheating and other controversies. Not saying that it indicates an physically abusive relationship, but the relationship wasn’t great either.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Yeah, but then you’re left with a lighter, more agile tank. It’s a win-win!

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Disc golf does this. I find it to be the superior golf sport by far.
