Fun way to look at it. In Common Lisp, NULL is not a number. But in Assembly language, it absolutely is. Is "no" a number? As in "I have no apples." It is strange that we can't say "I have yes apples" othe

That's the argument in a nutshell. Is 10 a single number, or two numbers? In context, it is one number. But I digress because typing it out suggests it is two. Would you rather have $100.00 or $0100?

Imagine the surprise learning that anything other than combinations of 0's and 1's are not numbers. For the same reason, but more extreme and in the other direction.

In my younger days, I was a Beaver leader. Beavers are Boy Scouts in the 5-6 age group. They are not empty headed. They are extremely inquisitive and easily understand things that are surprising to adults. I would even say on average, their

I know it says LLM, but isn't this a lot like googling things on your cell phone, which you can also do by voice? It's a nice laser text projector, though.

That pic came from a whole series of pics. So they certainly know who that guy was, at the least. That his pictures were being used to shock people might have shocked him, since that probably wasn't his original intention, other than f

Lemon Party was pretty big too, if mainly that stupidly catchy tune that came with it.

Kids in school see cameras watching them everywhere except inside the washrooms and changerooms. In the school my partner works at, there are so many cameras, you are on more than one at any given time, and the cafeteria is crazy loaded wit

This is a valuable thing to point out. Garlic is toxic to dogs, but a lot of dog treats have garlic and it's not hurting them. In large amounts, it is toxic. But it is stinky even in small amounts, and that's what dogs love abou

This is great. But I don't understand the result you get for things like 'peanut'. I'm assuming it means peanuts aren't regarded as toxic to dogs, cats and horses, but the result under the input section seems so ran

The site is in dire need up updating. For example, on the page for CBD, they are clearly unaware that THC and all its relatives are fully legalized here in Canada. It stops at mentioning our "Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Reg

I wouldn't say we do so little looking for life in space. Our preoccupation with looking for the things that brought what we needed for life to Earth before life came about here is akin to looking for life in space. We are always looki

This reminds me of the adult "strip poker" games that were so popular in the 80's. Only now it would be way more like sitting in the room with actual humans instead of pixelated cartoons.

That's the grab right there. Elon fired the people that would be needed to keep any semblance of security wrapped around user's financial information. Right now they're surviving on residual control held over (but possibly no

Everything eventually starts to look like Google. When Google was new, we used to play a game to see who would run out of answers first on a particular search term. Then that morphed into who got a porn link first, even though the search te

This was interesting. Stereo wideners (a switch made to cause music to sound wider in audio 3D space) work very similar to the Dolby3D, except with equalization instead of colour filtering. Dolby3d takes chunks of red, green and blue, and f

We have IKEA chairs. But everyone has different chair needs. One of the best things about IKEA is that you can go to one of their stores and try them all out to see which one(s) suit you most.

I have one of the first version (on breadboard). I like it. You also get a tonne of support on discord, with lots of videos teaching the various intricacies of the Apple I computer.

It hasn't changed since the 60's. Listening to people who self-diagnose ADHD might give you that impression. Same with Autism, which seems to be every third person if you believe social media over actual doctors. People seem to fe

This is a nice simple explanation of it. It's also why stock holders use "points" instead of "dollars." A stock share going up $1.50 is amazing if it was a penny stock, and absolutely not worth mentioning if it wa

I don't have numbers like this well-researched response, but apparently neglected children have higher odds of being diagnosed with ADHD, which is seen through the very high occurrence of ADHD and similar in children who entered foster
