Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Insane People Quora@lemmings.world•These "Christian baby" questions, most likely asked by the same person. my sides 😂English1·5 days agoChristians, imagine there are 365 Atheist children in front of you. God himself comes down and says you’re only allowed to molest one of them each day, for an entire year. If you molest more than one in a single day, you will go to hell and the rapture begins without you. What do you do?

Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I have never in my 43 years heard of anyone else with the first name Sigourney.English11·7 days agoFrom what I heard: There was a sequence where the team had to sleep in a haunted mansion (for whatever reason) and Dan Aykroyd insisted on having a ghost come in and blow him. And when they cut the entire scene, he insisted on keeping that part as a dream.
Fun Fact: in the original script, Winston was ex-Army/Marine and an important member of the team. But instead they just made him some unemployed schlub because he was black and it was the 80s.

I think they wanted the behind tense of “but” to indicate it’s not just a urinal.
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto science bs@midwest.social•"Remarkable" Pattern Discovered Behind Prime Numbers, Math's Most Unpredictable ObjectsEnglish2·8 days agoIf you graph prime numbers in various ways, you get artifacts like rays or lines. But it’s not related specifically to the prime numbers. They’re just caused by the composite numbers erasing straight rows of integers, leaving behind straight rows of primes.
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto techsupport@lemmy.world•What CPU and GPU would be good for Engineering (Fusion360 / CAD + 1080p video editing)English2·8 days agoYou should ask this in a CAD dedicated subgroup. I’ve been running high-end CAD software (I-DEAS, UG NX, Solidworks) on low to midrange PCs since 2000, and never had any issues. I don’t know of any CAD system that supports the high-end features of the graphics cards you specify. There are some advanced rendering packages that might, but those cards aren’t necessary. You might just get your pretty picture faster.
If you’re going to be running FEA or simulations, just pack as much RAM as you can. 32Gb minimum.
Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto science bs@midwest.social•"Remarkable" Pattern Discovered Behind Prime Numbers, Math's Most Unpredictable ObjectsEnglish2·8 days agofor example, the integer partitions of 4 will be 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, and 1+1+1+1
Hmmm…ok, sure…
That’s because partitions have a natural connection to a type of equation known as Diophantine equations – equations like Pythagoras’s or Markov’s, for which there are multiple if not infinitely many sets of rational solutions.
Diophantine equations are special because the interesting results are integer. For Pythagoras that would be something like 3, 4, 5 (32 + 42 = 52).
The story seems to be implying some connection between adding integers and prime numbers, but it never gets anywhere close to explaining that connection.
The desperate hope that a “good guy with a gun” will show up and rescue us like they promised.

Dem Bosain@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think about reaching AGI?English32·13 days agoWe are a LOT farther away than 5 years. What you see right now is a lot of hype from venture capitalists over chatbots.
I think any real AGI will have to have some kind of reasoning ability, and I don’t see any sign of that in current AI.
