It’s not always discussed as such, but Hilbert’s Hotel is a mathematically well defined topic and can be proved rigorously. An infinite set of rooms can be the set x1, x2,…xinf, and people can be y1, y2…yinf. You can pair every entry in these two sets. x1&y1, x2&y2,…xinf&yinf. You can’t number a room without having a person in the room, and you can’t find a person who doesn’t have a room.

I don’t think anyone watched Gemini Man.

Comcast just has to show the FCC a breakdown of average bandwidth by race and they’ll back off. All broadband companies have been playing racial favoritism since long before it was cool.

If an asteroid fires a missile and it enters the atmosphere, is the rest of the asteroid considered a meteor?

Are you sure it’s not because of chronic exhaustion for several months in a row instead of the sex?
- Comment on The Periodic Table according to astronomers 1 week ago:
I’m confused, that’s just a periodic table.

Well, they butchered everything else about the franchise, so they might as well be consistent.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 2 weeks ago:
If we’re talking about freshman CS 101, where every assignment is the same year-over-year and it’s all machine graded, yes, 90% is definitely possible because an LLM can essentially act as a database of all problems and all solutions. A grad student TA can probably see through his “explanations”, but they’re probably tired from their endless stack of work, so why bother?
If we’re talking about a 400 level CS class, this kid’s screwed and even someone who’s mastered the fundamentals will struggle through advanced algorithms and reconciling math ideas with hands-on-keyboard software.

It’s the unpainted walls because why bother if you can’t afford it and your landlord will soft-evict you by doubling rent in a year?

Lemoyne Raiders aren’t the Klan. There’s actual klansmen too. You have to find them at night in the woods near Lemoyne, but they’re never associated with the raiders.
- Comment on What’s gone wrong with James Bond? No star, no script, no plan 3 weeks ago:
They’ll never get a better opportunity to end the series for good on a high note…so some C-suite exec will inevitably force them to pick it back up again.

Ummm…the meme clearly states that it in fact does…
- Comment on Is there a better sequel than Terminator 2? 3 weeks ago:
For a while, Mission Impossible kept getting better, but Dead Reckoning was absolute dog water and it killed all my interest in the franchise forever.
- Comment on 2025 Razzie nominations [Full List]: 'Joker 2' up for Worst Picture, Lady Gaga & Joaquin Phoenix nab nods for Worst Actor & Actress 3 weeks ago:
I agree it didn’t suck, but in addition to not bring the movie people wanted, it also wasn’t good. I’d be shocked if it won any razzies given the stiff competition.

That’s Disney’s tell, it works every time. The director of Tron Aries has made an entire career off of shit sequels for dead Disney franchises.
- Comment on 'Godzilla x Kong' Sequel Adds Kaitlyn Dever To Cast 3 weeks ago:
There’s a first time for everything. I have a hard time imagining that the next Monsterverse movie will offer anything interesting.
In Godzilla, there was a solid 5-minute parachuting scene. It was visually striking and deeply unsettling. I can’t even remember an interesting scene in New Empire.

So did The Boys and Helldiver’s 2, and yet a substantial population of conservatives took it literally. Now The Boys has to be so blatant, it’s not as funny anymore.
Some people are just idiots, just the way it is.

My thoughts exactly. As a non-European, it sounds like the appropriate response is to drive my Chevvy Suburban on 5 miles on the highway for 30 minutes to work in near standstill traffic.

- Comment on Large Language Models in Video Games? 4 weeks ago:
The voice actors for The Finals are completely made with AI, there is no real actor behind the scenes they started from.
That’s not really what you had in mind, you’re probably imagining a live-response model, but it is something that’s happening now.

- They’re traveling in a medium, so they move slower than in space
- Due to the random walk caused by multiple scattering, it can take millions of years for a photon to escape the sun after bring produced in the core.
You are right that they don’t gather energy, but they do multiply. What would be a single high energy x ray in the core will eventually downscatter into an army of optical photons.

Wise, Sauron is an unkillable evil unless you destroy the one ring, and if you tried to shoot Gollum, you’d almost certainly miss.

Pretty sure memes like that are always intended to be taken as satire. They used to be a quite popular format.

There was a hot dog place by me that would bake hot dogs, like a full sized pigs in a blanket. One of their dogs had blue cheese and is unlike any other food I’ve had before or since.

Notice how it doesn’t explain what’s going on in the pattern that got it to number 6. It’s just a guess.

If it stays as good as the first, all will be forgiven.
- Comment on Not enough people buying Premium, eh? 1 month ago:
Notice how they don’t post the nitrate, because even the higher one will be extremely low. Every streaming service has been dropping their nitrates over the years, Netflix and HBO are the worst offenders as I’ve noticed. It probably saves them a ton of money, and 90% of their customers won’t notice because they’re on their phone while watching in the background.
To make it weirder, I’m confident they boost the bitrates on their new releases to get the approval of the enthusiastic viewers, then drop it after the reviews are in.

An excellent choice, and the sequel is also great, although the gameplay is very different.

What a great game. I should look into what that dev team has made lately, I’m sure they’re still making high quality games…
