I'm curious on your response to GP's question. Have you heard of AHSME, AMC, or AIME?
Nobody mentioned them in high school (1997) until I heard of them online and got my school to participate. 30 kids took the AHSME. Only one qualified for the AIME. And nobody qualified for IMO (though I tell myself I was close).
This. The inconsistency of foul calls. I understand the mentality of "if you're not cheating, you're not trying" and "if you're not flopping, you're not trying", but it ruins the game for me.
We should train ML to make the foul calls in real-time.
Then get rid of the strict rulebook definition of what a foul is. Have the fans vote on past plays, what should be a defensive/offensive/no foul. Then train the LLM based on the opinions and let it make the foul calls.
This reminds me of a bug I created where the calendar showed only 30 days in March. I took the number of hours in the month, divided by 24, and rounded down.
The bigger problem was that I couldn't replicate it because I was in Arizona (which doesn't observe DST). Only users outside of Arizona were seeing the bug.
I was super happy with my Purism Librem 15 for 2 years. (Weird freezing issues after that. Replacing the memory didn't help. Maybe the mainboard went bad?)
Have been tempted to try the Librem 14.
I bought a Framework, but couldn't find the right distro to use it as a daily driver. Maybe I'll find time to try again.
Does anyone have a sleep/suspend configuration that isn't too difficult to configure and works well? I should update and try again, but as of 6 months ago, this was the one thing that made the Framework too painful for me to use as a daily driver.
I loved how power management just worked on the Librem 15 (until mine died).
I bought a Librem 15 before the 14 existed. I was very happy with it (including battery life/suspend) for about a year and used it with Linux as my daily driver. Then hardware started to fail and now it freezes randomly. (I've replaced the memory. Must be the mainboard?)
Maybe I was unlucky. Also, the 14 may be more reliable.
After that, I almost bought a Librem 14, but I took a chance on the Framework. The only real problem is battery life/suspend, but it's annoying enough that I can't bring myself to use it as a daily driver.
Also, you could do the following things which Voice doesn't support:
- Have multiple chats open (and be working on several responses) at the same time
- Star chats (nice workflow for remembering to respond later)
Although there were a couple things which, annoyingly, never worked right:
- Receiving contacts (vcards) from iOS.
- Starting a new group text (more than one recipient) from within Gmail. You could respond to an existing group text but to start a new one, I had to do it from the hangouts app on my phone.
The problem is that we need a way to say "actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy" succinctly. Also, to say "I am using an idiom, but non-idiomatically."
"Literally" should be that tool. I understand that a word's meaning is, by definition, what people mean when they say it, but it is frustrating to have this communication tool drift away with nothing to replace it.
As another commenter said, this same thing happened to "very" and "really" in the past. So maybe it's time to let "literally" go and make up a new word for it?
> a third-party candidate doesn't spoil an election, because your second-place vote will still count. (E.g. Nader wouldn't have taken votes from Gore, so Gore would have won instead of Bush.)
I was just trying to point out that this isn't always true. Instant Runoff Voting can eliminate the centrist, the best compromise candidate, first.
If we adopt IRV and third-parties grow, then we move into territory where IRV gets some elections obviously wrong. It has happened.
If Nader takes enough votes from Gore, then Gore will have the fewest first place votes and get eliminated first.
Then Nader has to go up against Bush and it all comes down to who the Gore voters put as their second choice. It may only take a small percentage of them putting Bush second for Bush to win. https://youtu.be/JtKAScORevQ
Was this election spoiled? By Nader or by Gore? You can argue the semantics of what "spoiler" means, but to me it's clear that IRV doesn't handle this situation well.
It is safe to vote for a third-party only if they can't win. When three-way elections get close, you have to be more careful.
Maybe you're right. I know displaying in hex was way faster than displaying in decimal and seemed fast enough, so I stopped there. I didn't test rendering speed specifically.
Doing a million digits in the console (with no status updates) took about an hour and doing it in that page took just over two hours.
Displaying hex is quite fast (compared to trying to display decimal), though you're right that it might add up to a noticeable amount of time in the end. I did the full million digit calculation on that sample page on the same computer and it took a little over two hours (so 2.1x slowdown) but at that point I was also adding a 5ms delay every 100 terms.
It is fun to scroll down and watch the "cutoff", where digits above that are not changing and digits below that are. That's just as fun in hex as it is in decimal. But yes, maybe I should add an option to turn that off.

I believe the 1 in a million number.
