> 4.5 (better in creative writing, and probably warmer sound thanks to being vinyl based and using analog tube amplifiers, but slower and request limited, and I don't even know which of the other features it supports)

Is that an LLM hallucination?

I said "power" as in "exponent", so we basically have the same understanding, I just do without the triangle.

Ironically, that notation, which I just discovered, confuses me more than anything else. Logs clicked for me when someone online said "amongst all the definitions we have for logs, the most useful and less taught is that log() is just a power". At that exact instant, it's like if years of arcane and foreign language just disappeared in front of my eyes to leave only obviousness and poetry.

This seems interesting. I've been thinking lately of re-installing a tilling WM on my daily driver because I have a wide screen and I spend more time rearranging and searching for windows than doing actual things on it. Also, it seems that all that screen estate could be put to better use with a tilling WM. Guess I'll give Niri a try, maybe it will fit my needs.

Same here, I was actually reading the comments to see if someone had the same reaction. I'm not even much older than them, but enough that I look at 20 yo people as if they were inexperienced children.

This being said, time for my daily nitpicking: 7÷0.35=20, not ~21. Although I agree that 20 ≈ 21.

This still needs to be proven. And although I do have religious beliefs, here is the wrong place to discuss that kind of topic.

Yet, if the primordial soup is indeed what happened, it created a birthday cake complete with icing, candles and balloons, through the creation of humans. The primordial doesn't speculate that life appeared from one day to another, it speculates a long and slow process, just as the refinery of wheat into flour then a pastry (along with other ingredients) is a long and slow process (faster than the creation of life, but still).

Our lack of evidence tends to suggest that we are alone. But it's a mere conjecture. A single counterexample would invalidate it.

For the moment, astronomers found 0 life forms out the 42 we seeded. Unfortunately, 0/42 is equal to 0/n where n ∈ ℕ, so we don't gained much knowledge on the matter so far.

Assuming that they are currently roughly at the same stade of evolution as us, or less, and knowing that Voyager 1, the farthest human made object in space, only crossed the heliopause eleven years ago, it's not highly probable that "something" would have reached us by now. Of course, it's based on an assumption, but the contrary is too. The thing is we don't know enough to estimate when, where and how life might have appeared elsewhere.

Once a 256th develops, the overflow causes every intelligent form of life to disappear.
