Imagine paying $700 for a PS5.5

I was just trying to keep things simple, but you’re right

Here’s a quick tidbit I always have in the back of my mind:

If it’s an Italian name, it’s espresso-based and if it’s a French name, it’s coffee-based.

Italian coffee, for example:

Americano - Espresso and water
Latte - Espresso and regular milk
Cappuccino - Espresso and steamed milk
Breve - Espresso and steamed half-and-half

French coffee, for example:

Café - Plain coffee, sometimes called Café Noir
Café au Lait - Coffee and regular milk
Café Cremé - Coffee and cream (or sometimes half-and-half)
Café Americano - Coffee and water, it’s the French version of the Italian style.

What’s the difference between coffee and espresso? Coffee is brewed and steeped. Espresso is created by forcing water through very, very densely-packed coffee grounds using high pressure. Coffee is typically enjoyed in cups and espresso is typically consumed in “shots” because of the strong flavor.

This is most likely to try to deflect from him saying that he had every right to interfere with the election since he’s currently facing a criminal trial for interfering with the election.

True, but you don’t need 7 figures to make your bank account look like a phone number. You need at least $10k, since there will always be two more digits to cover the cents.

But… But they move.

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.

The thing on the bottom is called Neopolitan, not Napolean. F-tier meme

Dude, can you at least do a bit of research first before clutching your pearls?

I also noticed Mazda wasn’t on there. Doesn’t even come up in a search. Does that mean they’re more respectful of privacy?

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’m a principal dev (the step higher than senior in my company) and I’m under 40. I think it mostly depends on luck and being in the right place at the right time.

Starfield is fun to me 🤷‍♂️
