I've been there, it's not even a good park if you ignore the animal cruelty, and I thought this as a kid.

I wonder what portion of her "support" is thinking "stfu already and gtf back to the kitchen and let the men handle this shit".

I'm not sure there's any guarantee that it will ever be sorted, since bit flips will be random and are just as likely to put it more out of order than more in order. Plus if there's any error correction going on, it can cancel out bit flips entirely until up to a certain threshold.

Though I'm not sure if ECC (and other methods) write the corrected value back to memory or just correct the signals going to the core, so it's possible they could still add up over time and overcome the second objection.

Tbf, Canada has like 15% the population, mostly in a smaller amount of areas. The US has more states than Canada has major cities.

I've wondered if mental state actually affects reality around us. Like some people who see paranormal shit are just more open to it or something while the presence of a skeptic prevents it from happening

And people who just don't have confidence that tech will work can cause random issues just by being present, but sometimes when a tech confident person comes to assist them, their confidence gets it to work properly.

Maybe it has to do with particle/wave duality and the observer effect, and the simulation approximates things more when people aren't paying as much attention or won't likely investigate an issue closely after the fact, so the simulation gets sloppy because it's approximating. But then when someone who will pay closer attention comes (or will come), the waves collapse into particles and it behaves as expected.

Maybe those cases where a user claims something usually works when they do it a way that is clearly wrong to the more experienced observer, the approximation works out in their favour, but the collapse to particles makes it break like it was supposed to the whole time.

Maybe Pauli understood some things about the technical equipment (and ropes?) that the others didn't or was better at calibration and collapsed the wave more than usual.

Though my guess for the chandelier is that someone first thought of the dropping it when he entered joke but then realized that saying they tried to do that and it failed would be even funnier plus save them a chandelier and be much easier and safer to pull off.

As a math guy, obviously the order of the letters is: x, y, z, a, b, c, then the rest of them in whatever order I currently feel like.

As a CS guy, obviously the order is sort( [ set of all letters ] ).

Fuck man, add a spoiler tag or something if you're going to post an image of a vicious attack like that!

How do you sell an indie game studio? Doesn't sound very independent even before the sale to me.

I think that, due to the nature of chaos and the butterfly effect, any time travel at all would change the future. Unless it was just closing a time loop that was already present in the current past (which would mean any attempt to alter history would fail because that attempt is already a part of history), or if it's possible to create new branches in time.

So these rules are either unnecessary because any time travel automatically causes changes that, it's not possible to change the past from the past, or it's not possible to go back to our past, thus nothing you do will affect our present.

Oh. Well maybe instead it will be a glorious future like Starship Troopers where we spend our days and lives fighting off vicious alien bugs before they manage to develop the technology necessary to destroy us!

Maybe it will be a cyberpunk future.

I suggest you buckle up.
