I wonder what would happen if the first real android, in the Asimov sense, was birthed in a garage and not in some high-budget corporate lab somewhere.
I've been looking at getting an e-reader in the last few days, and the Xteink X4 is one of the ones I considered. I think it's probably too small for my intended use, but it's cool that people are tinkering with it like this.
I would say yes, because the physics of rolling two objects is slightly different than one object. I don't have any idea, though, if that would affect the distribution of numbers rolled. It's not an experiment that can be done through simulation.
However it came to the "knowledge," I'm glad it had it!
Seeing as I know almost nothing about reverse engineering, in this case, an LLM was a great tool in solving the problem. Yes, I could have spent the time and energy to do it myself, but this seemed like a good use case for an LLM.
There are other problem sets where I'm not using LLMs at all - like porting a lot of my procedural generation code from Typescript to Godot's GDScript.
