I’d say the Gaga was for pandering to fans of a celebrity to get them to watch. Making a Gaga centric episode at the height of Gaga’s popularity is pandering. As compared to having a few lines by George Harrison or Paul McCartney which were at their height of popularity 20 years earlier. When contemporary celebrities were used like Smashing Pumpkins is was as a cameo, not the focus of the entire episode.

The all woman Itchy Scratchy episode would be panned because it’s punching down on the feminist movie remakes.

Clerks the TV show did it for their 1st episode.

Time for Trump to give him another $20B.

Yes they are contradictory. The computer isn’t supernatural. The premise states the computer isn’t 100% accurate. It says 99.9% but it could say 75% without changing the problem. It says 99% to simplify the scenario for the reader so you assume the computer is accurate. The premise is the computer can reliably predict your behavior. The premise is not the computer can defy physics.

Martha Stewart Living, of course.

You said this:

“This necessarily includes the results of that coin flip and the Geiger counter readings.”

The premise states the computer sets up the boxes BEFORE you enter the room. The OP states he flips the coin AFTER he enters the room.

The computer cannot change the boxes after he entered the room. The computer cannot know the results of how you will respond to the coin flip because it happens AFTER it has fixed the boxes.

. This necessarily includes the results of that coin flip and the Geiger counter readings.

The OP said he flips the coin after going into the room. But the computer setup the boxes before they entered. So the computer knowing how you’d react to the coin flip can’t change the boxes.

There’s the possibility that there’s something else at play that we don’t know, and maybe cannot fathom.

The possibility that there is something hidden that we are not aware of is why Bell’s Theorem was such a revolution in physics. The experimental proof of Bell’s theorem won the nobel prize. There are no hidden variables. Probability is fundamental, not a result of some unknown process.

The premise wasn’t that the computer was 100% perfect. It was 99.9% perfect. That is its good enough such that you should assume its correct. The premise could have said 75% and it wouldn’t change anything. Saying 99% makes it simpler for the reader to assume that the computer is correct.

The computer is not supernatural. The premise does not say the computer is 100% accurate. The premise does not say that the computer can violate known laws of physics. The premise is that the computer knows your behavior.

Pedantic:

The three stars of orion are actually 9 stars. 1 is a trinary, one is a single star and one is a 5 star system.

Any updates? I’m having the problem again and now my heads aren’t parking/picked up about 1 in every 100 times (layers).

I just tried re-adjusting the belt tension. Again. It seems to be an issue with the U1.

HTML with CSS is Turing complete.

No, Trump claimed that the US would blockade any ships that paid Iran’s toll.

As someone who started watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960’s, I can definitely say the mid 90’s was peak cartoon.

He didn’t say it was the best, only that it was better than Chrome.

If it’s not an all in one PC, those USB ports on the back of the monitor aren’t likely to be connected to anything.

I’ve never used the monitor USB ports because they require another USB cable to go back to the PC so the monitor can act as a hub. So it’s not saving much clutter and isn’t easily accessible like a desktop USB hub.

Furthermore, if the IT department has any security, it will have USB completely disabled. My wife worked in HR for a regular consumer brand and even those laptops were so locked down such that you couldn’t plug in a different mouse without IT approval. You couldn’t even boot to Linux to bypass because the bios was locked and the drive was Bitlockered.

He’s getting fresh blood from Thiel’s blood boys.

Then the experiments may be flawed. We dont know what we dont know

That’s the same excuse flat Earthers make. Yes every single observation made over the past 100 years could have been wrong and tomorrow we find out that all of quantum mechanics is wrong.

There are a near infinite number of variables involved, but if we knew every variable, we could solve it.

Take a single electron. You can’t define it’s position and motion (momentum) simultaneously. It is fundamentally unsolvable. There aren’t even hidden variables that we are unaware of. Bell’s inequality has been experimentally proven many times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell’s_theorem

I believe the universe is determinate

That has been experimentally proven false and outside of all mainstream science.

While you can have a supernatural belief in a clockwork universe, the premise is a supercomputer makes the prediction, not God.
