I’d say brainstorming is what you do before writing code and rubber ducking is what you do to debug code that you’ve already written.
They also work kinda differently. Brainstorming an idea is different from explaining it out loud, detail by detail.
If OP wanted an AI answer, they would have gone to chatGPT. Stop wasting water, electricity, and our time.
I guess refusing to engage with the hypothetical is a choice. Personally I think hypotheticals are most interesting and revealing specifically when they are about impossible situations.
Like the question: if you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would choose the ability to see the future with 99% accuracy just to mess with people by running this box experiment.
Seems like a productivity deficient environment in terms of progressive workflows towards goal oriented solutions
It’s theoretically impossible to create a system to remember every human that doesn’t rely on external storage.
I’ll explain: let’s say that for every human that dies, they will be remembered and live on in the heart of another, living human. Each living human can remember n dead humans.
we can set up an equation
pn >= r
where p is the current population of live humans, r is the amount of dead humans that must be remembered.
We can express the rate of deaths as a proportion of the current living population:
d/dt[r] = pb
Where t is time and b is the instantaneous death rate per captia with respect to time (generally a constant).
Combined with the previous, we get the separable differential equation:
d/dt[r] = pb >= (r/n)b
dr/dt >= rb/n
[1/r] rt >= [b/n] dt
Integrated:
ln|r| >= tb/n+C
r >= e^(tb/n+C)
pn >= r >= e^(tb/n+C)
p >= e^(tb/n+C)/n
So in order for this system to work, the living population must always be growing exponentially, which is not feasible for modern humanity.
What was the latest version before June 2025?
What a self report. This guy is complicit in turning the age of information into the age of propaganda.
It was very hard reading some of those people’s stories. I hope they are safe
I wonder how much power we’re wasting from people using LLMs to figure out typos

I must have used up all my luck before meeting you
You’re making me feel old! I keep thinking the Mesozoic era was just a few thousand year’s ago
This does not actually make it easier to make mods according to a modder friend of mine. https://notes.highlysuspect.agency/no-longer-obfuscated.html
Unless the lorry was driving over the exact geographic north or south pole.
Side note: the tallest lorry where the top doesn’t move faster than the speed of light at the equator is 3.8 light hours tall, which is weird to think about because the top doesn’t start moving until well after the bottom has reached it’s destination.
Perfect response to the pizza gambit
I can accept that god sends non-believers to hell to suffer for eternity, but guiding a bullet to save the president’s life is where I draw the line!
I believe it was “We’re not going back”. I remember because it was a pretty strong contrast to MAGA.
