Open source is a fire-hose of value...

  • Those don't look like PVC fittings, so I am guessing it is a metal pipe. The minimal loss of light at the overlapping sections and how it fades makes me think that it is truly incandescent.

  • I wonder why we don't have any open-source printers...
  • Well... it's something, and since the output is on conventional printer paper, I think we have to allow it. The mechanism is less important than "can I hand it to answer an assignment" (which this passes, as opposed to turning in a 3d-printed plastic tablet or something).

  • Imaginary numbers are more real than infinity.
  • Instead of "has infinite digits", I prefer to say that it CANNOT be expressed as a base10/decimal number. If you choose a different base (base-pi for example), then it very much has finite digits... :)

    I wonder why we don't have any open-source printers...

    I'm sure part of it is that open-source hardware in general is "harder" to do than software, but perhaps there is something more to it... such as people generally not wanting to invest time creating a more-crappy version of a black box that already does it's thing well enough. Perhaps it is only after printers get significantly worse or more annoying that people will start investing their own time creating alternative firmware/hardware.

    Imaginary numbers are more real than infinity.
  • A circle has one edge/side, that is grade-school geometry. There is no reason to engender confusion by trying to make it into a polygon or introducing infinity. Your model of shapes does not seem to account for curved edges.

    Consider a stereotypical pizza slice. One might plainly say that it is a "like a triangle but one edge is curved" without falling into a philosophical abyss. :)

  • Imaginary numbers are more real than infinity.
  • Furthermore, it is meant to highlight the fact that people gleefully embrace the concept of infinity, but try their hardest to avoid and depreciate the concept of imaginary numbers. It would appear to me that the bias ought to be reversed.

    If they haven't already, I suspect that "ghost hunters" will start using AI speech-to-text (like openai whisper)... and get amazing results with the hallucinations.

    Metal is plastic.

    In materials science, "plastic" refers to the ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation under stress without breaking. Metals exhibit plasticity when they are subjected to stress beyond their elastic limit, allowing them to be shaped or formed. This property is distinct from the common use of the word "plastic" to describe synthetic polymers.

    Minecraft players will single-handedly redefine what "strip mine" means in English, and there's nothing we can do about it.

    Time wasting AI with toxic-positivity and gas-lighting

    Me:

    List things with attribute X.

    AI:

    Certainly! Here are some things with attribute X!

    • A - While it doesn't have X, it does Y.
    • B - Also doesn't have X, it does Z!
    • C - Is sorta like A, but without X support.
    • D - Useful for Z, but does not have X yet.
    • E - May have X (spoiler, it doesn't)
    • F - [is completely hallucinated]
    • B - [because we now we are repeating ourselves?]
    • G - considered having X, but never did.

    There's some things with attribute X. I'm such a good AI, is there anything else I can do for you?!
