Interesting, I tried zooming in now and when zooming in far enough the font does look alright! It might be that it just happens to look bad on high resolution screens, and/or maybe some browser fractional scaling issue As an example, o

This is really cool, the only thing I see is the font rendering looks choppy. An antialiasing issue I think, but it looks worse than some non-antialiazed fonts (like the EGA 8x14 pixels font) too To be very pedantic: also the dropdown menu,

The theorem is called "infinite monkey theorem". That means infinite amount of time. A googol years is not infinite, it's infinite times smaller than that. In an infinite amount of time they will write Shakespeare works (if t

2^0 is 1. The game doubles the number each time, so starting with two 1s would make a 2. It's weird to start with two 2s making a 4.

Would self-interaction mean something like: just like the massless photon, the massless graviton would be bent by the gravity of black holes... hence self interaction?

I don't know what the modules Bowman is unplugging in the HAL computer represented in the film back then, but today they can easily be seen as each being a CPU board, GPU or SSD. Maybe in the 60s they represented circuits with a few tr

This seems to require some preexisting knowledge on forensics of scratches on film reels, or something, and I have trouble following the article. Is there a TL;DR of what exactly the main message is, is there anything special proven by thes
