I’ve been a professional programmer for nearly a decade and I just realized that C# is C++++ with the pluses stacked
HP Lovecraft invented cosmic horror and the concept of “High Strangeness” talked about here. To me, they’re hand in hand. If it doesn’t have incomprehensible beings, events, or even colors, then it isn’t cosmic horror.
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.
This could run in Javascript if you setup print as an alias for window.alert or console.log
The first few lines reminded me of the game Nox
Edit: holy shit Nox came out 24 years ago today
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.
I can’t find Infinity for Lemmy on fdroid. Do I need to add a repo?
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.
With this movie, Am I Racist?, and Reagan all playing at the same time, the GOP is really going full-throttle in attempting to exploit their base.
