@Knipps my parents did that too, except it was autism and they didn't mention it until I diagnosed myself.

@pavedwalden worst of all supposedly you won't feel out of breath, because CO2 concentrations will be normal, you'll feel fine, then dead.

@dystopiabreaker did the math and the s23 ultra would be diffraction limited at around 35 pixels across the width of a full moon.

@axelb @Knipps my parents were told when I was quite small, so it could have been something I grew up 'always knowing'. it's a descriptor, it gives useful context to learn more. at any age I would have preferred direct and casual: "you already know you're different, there's a name for that".

high precision mechanisms from low precision parts via elastic averaging, the Chinese remainder theorem, and the linearity of springs under small displacements

wading in because I've never seen anyone else point out the real problem here. as soon as the plane moves forward, which it will because it pushes against the air and not the ground, the wheels roll, the conveyor moves to compensate, the wheels roll more, loop, explode
@xanderevans9 there is a positive feedback loop with a gain greater than one between wheel speed and conveyor belt speed. the problem specification is incoherent.

@norvid_studies the moon is special cased, but all modern phones (samsung and apple both included) do extensive denoising which hallucinates badly on all photos.

you're halfway through reading a sentence, the most probable possible next word is the least informative continuation for the sentence. a randomly chosen next word is highly informative, but still boring. this is because information is boring, you were not evolved to acquire bits.

with a non-magic conveyor belt moving at a bounded speed, and sufficiently low wheel rolling resistance, the plane takes off with no trouble. but as specified the problem is incoherent.

@dystopiabreaker 👍 I dropped a two by accident and get 70 pixels double checking now. I think the remaining difference is due to differences in intermediate step rounding.

I started reading a book on speed reading once. it started with a self administered test intended to be compared with a second self test after finishing the book, I scored beyond what the book promised and set it down.
Are you guys reading at 238wpm? I can barely read faster than I can speak but I can comfortably listen to podcasts at 2x speed.

I haven't played factorio in quite some time because I got caught up writing optimizers that take into account construction costs of the factory in both time and materials and I'm not happy yet.
little brother's approach to factorio is interesting, one machine per product, make every ingredient from scratch for that machine. I mean he's got oil and blue science automated, tho idk if this design style is very sustainable . his base does take like no power though lol.

@Duderichy arguably at some point obviously stupid/corrupt government deals should be broken. we enforce contracts as a service to those bound by the contract on both sides, the government is merely a proxy that enters into agreements on behalf of another party.

@xLuffyMonkeyDx @Knipps I don't remember the early childhood diagnosis happening, I'd guess it was more observational, roughly: "yup, he sure acts spergy" - doc.

@prerationalist short answer they are as dark as possible. long answer nonlinearity's a b*tch. each electron liberated by a photon across a given band gap has the same energy, photons below this energy don't work, photons above get some of their energy wasted; trade-offs on choosing the bandgap.

@metakuna to go 100km/h on land typically requires an appendage to move at 100km/h relative to the body. fish are fast for the same reason speedskaters are fast.

@selentelechia your vision would be worse in general, human eyes are pretty close to diffraction limited (healthy human vision is close to as good as can be with eyeballs this size). if you want to see finer detail (angular resolution) you need a bigger eye.

@VividVoid_ yeah, counterfactuals are special hypotheticals and just a little bit more difficult since you need to maintain a separate model rather than merely temporarily extending your current model. I've met people with trouble with both, but there aren't sharp thresholds.
