  • No, because if you have a room empty, you now have to identify the vacated room, which could take an infinite amount of time

    Also, it would take up to an infinite amount of distance to walk to or from the front desk, so we just be dealing with immortal guests who have no time sensitivity at all

    Furthermore, the room must be made ready and guests tend to check out at a certain time of day, so you would have to decentralize everything while accounting for light speed limiting the speed of information

    Some of these problems are solvable if you add more constraints to the puzzle. Like, if you have a rate of check-in to checkout you could do something with statistics and discrete math to divide the infinity into an infinite number of sub hotels, and in doing so possibly guarantee availability for the guest in a long but linear amount of time

    It would be an interesting programming/math puzzle. My intuition tells me it is solvable, but it might not be







  • That’s not what I was referring to. Intelligence is basically a combination of working memory, recall, cognition, and metacognition

    The combination of these domains together produce the foundation for the “types” of intelligence, which might be more accurately described as abilities

    Humor demonstrates these qualities socially. It’s not a direct relationship, more like a demonstration. Like how dancing demonstrates physical ability, humor demonstrates the factors underlying intelligence

    (But you could also just be a good or bad dancer)

    Just imagine him slamming together hulk hands going “it’s sundar-ing time” at the R&D offices. Then one by one punching out monitors and telling employees “you’ve been sundered”

    I’m pretty sure that’s how it happened




  • It’s actually good UX practices to do this. You light up a path to get a result (pressing the start button to continue to the menu), and then a large segment of people will continue to press start, even if they’ve previously stumbled upon the fact that any button will work

    It’s like picking a home server in the fediverse. You can tell them it doesn’t matter what they pick, but a lot of people will be intimidated and nervous about having to make the choice. It’s a major problem for adoption

    You also don’t have to tell computer minded people inconsequential rules, they’ll figure it out themselves pretty quick

    So by choosing an arbitrary button for the instruction, you remove a meaningless “choice” that genuinely lowers the friction for a large chuck of the population

    There are also people who, if you tell them to press any key, they will happily mash the function keys and be confused and upset that unexpected things are happening

    There’s even a select few who will physically look for the any key every time just to make sure it’s not suddenly been added to their keyboard, and there are even the special few that will hit the power button and get angry because they think you’ve caused them to break their computer

    Some of these people have higher degrees too…I didn’t believe it until I saw it for myself


  • Instead of being a death notice it’s a pre-death notice, if you will. He has been moved to a longer-care facility, wherever that may be, and his handlers don’t want to deal with the rightful backlash of the rest of us knowing the truth.

    He was probably braindead on arrival IMO. Kinda both legally dead but also you can drag out the official date for ages

    It would also explain why the videos of the ambulance looked so unhurried and why his wife immediately left to visit China
