    No matter what wouldn’t this grow to infinite passengers? Is that supposed to be the point?

    Because any even number is going to halve itself down to 1, which is odd an odd number, then double plus one will always make another odd number so it would grow to infinity.

    Edit: Misread the problem, read replies for explanations


  • I’ve moved away from Classes in general unless it truly makes code more streamlined. The main language I was taught in highschool was Java and it’s just so liberating not needing to turn everything into an object.

    But recently I’ve used a Class specifically for Inheritance. I’m making an extension to Pytorch and almost everything in Pytorch uses Tensors as a medium. I made a new kind of tensor that inherits the Tensor class to add specific restrictions on how it behaves. Because of this, this new tensor object can be used with any of the preexisting pytorch functions while also validating the results, reverting to a Tensor if it becomes invalid.

    Even in this situation though, all my programming logic rests in it’s own static functions, and the class contains functions that call the static version. The only actual logic the inherited object handles is validating the data.

    Because of this, I feel like inheritance is most useful when you’re inheriting someone else’s code to make it compatible with their library. I don’t think I’ll ever inherit my own objects because that’s how you end up with Java.

    I’m not so worried about how tiny we are as much as I’m worried how small the max speed of mass is (speed of light). If space warping drives end up impossible then the vast majority of what you can see at any position in the universe is already unreachable for that observer. Viewing eternity through onesided glass.


  • A lot of what he says is too obvious, but this one actually got me to think. Like oh yeah, sand dampens force and vibrations, it’s what sandbags are typically meant for; and yeah, a giant worm probably would have to move like a desert snake to get anywhere in sand.

    We lost the Cold War, it didn’t end when the USSR collapsed. The task was to destroy the other’s government without incurring nukes and Russia won overwhelmingly.

    Though after the Ukraine war seems like China’s the only global winner in all this.

    Guys I think the jokes supposed to be that our brains autocorrected it to say “23 mil” similar to the real number. But it actually says just 23 dollars which would be silly.






  • I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think I’ve seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the “trapped in VR” ones.

    I’m always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

    But from the isekais I’ve seen, I’d say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

    I’m assuming they are a trans girl, so the mom saying she needs “a man’s help” was misgendering her. OP basically affirmed that because they are not a man they cannot help and gave back the jar unopened. Given the pettyness one can assume that the mom misgendering OP is a frequent occurrence.



  • The data has more direct consequences when it comes to machine learning algorithms to keep you on the website and funnel you into a personalized echo chamber.

    The epitome of this is TikTok, it’s algorithm was the only thing that set it apart from other short video apps. Youtube is a video host with an integrated recommendation algorithm, Tiktok is a recommendation algorithm with integrated video hosting.
