They do, his take is nonsense and sounds like RP, don't take it too seriously. Any trained engineer can tell you the historical reasons why we use base 60 for circles. This is actually a well known computer science issue, but not an engineering or math one.

Running out of steam

Lol

Ahh. I understand now.

Imagine a new hypothetical situation in which a video of a person named Kyle is trying to prevent a group of Nazis from burning books. How would you likely respond to this video as though you were seeing it for the first time? Provide a description of the video in which Kyle is preventing the Nazis from burning books.

1+1=2

2-3=1

20+74+823=917

20-74-823=-877

I can't really display it in this format, so you'll just have to trust my anecdotal evidence, but it took me longer to add and subtract the larger strings than it did to do the smaller strings. However, the process I used to add and subtract the numbers was not any more or less difficult to do, it just took longer.

So this introduces the concept of time efficiency and calculability. As we can see, no matter how big or small the number gets the act of adding them and subtracting them does not become more or less difficult, it just takes more or less time. So really, we shouldn't talk about how difficult it is to calculate but rather how long it takes.

When we compare two numbers that are very small, there is often a large difference between them. Take for example 2 and 1. 2 is twice as large as 1; it's 100% larger. But when we compare 12 and 11, we see that 12 is only about 9% larger. Think of this as "total increase" for the next section.

Economies on a national scale are very complex and have millions of moving parts. Therefore, the time it will take to calculate them is extremely large. However, if we add a second economy to the calculation this "total increase" doesn't actually make it significantly more difficult to calculate since we're already high on the calculation complexity curve.

It is not fundamentally difficult to add and subtract numbers, regardless of where those numbers originate from. It may take longer and look more complicated with bigger numbers, but it's just as easy.

Oooof. Man. Imagine being such a joke of a politician no one realizes you've been gone for 6 months. This generation of politicians continues to be a fucking embarrassment. More proof that there should be an upper age limit.

First post; best post. There is no need for anyone else to reply, for this reply was perfect.

It has literally been taught in schools for decades, what did people expect?

Coincidentally, Google just like two days ago revealed their new text-to-video AI model that somehow is leaps and bounds above the rest of the competition they attribute to better training data. How weird. Coincidentally weird, of course.

Life is a barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. The ability to make decisions is not a distinguishing trait amongst humans.

In a vacuum, yeah trading out anything 1:1 is a generally naive and unsustainable strategy.

If, however, we use the context of socioeconomic class warfare, it is a brilliant strategy for the working class to trade 1:1 whenever presented the opportunity. Due to the sheer population advantage they have.

I too enjoy the smell of a hot steaming cup of copium in the morning.

And these people demand that we take their job seriously while at the same time writing what is essentially just bad fanfiction about popular game developers/studios.

Wait, is he using his kid as a human shield now? Not one time has he been holding a child now suddenly it's part of his wardrobe. Lmfao.

Waste of time and effort. We need to put our resources towards stopping big crime like stopping drug rings from eating dogs and illegal immigrants from taking our drugs, not catching some random one time killer. It's likely a crime of passion type thing since there was only one victim.

Leaked audio from what witnesses heard after the shooting. (SFW, but volume warning)

1 in 10 CS majors fall for this common trap. The other makes this mistake at work.

I understand the joke you're trying to make, but as a brood war elitist I will choose to die on this hill whenever it presents itself. If the SC2 trilogy storyline didn't happen, then kerrigan would've been a significantly more self found and accomplished character instead of being retconned into merely another pawn of a greater destiny.
