This is actually an issue caused by the hotel staff not allocating their rooms efficiently. When the first wave of infinite guests showed up, they should have assigned them to odd numbered rooms. Then theres still an infinite number of vacant even numbered rooms.

Even if several more waves of infinite guests show up, you can assign them to rooms numbered 4n+2, 8n+4, 16n+8…

That way, the hotel will always have rooms left over.

They beat the game. Theres not enough space on the board to make the next bigger tile afterwards.

They have taken between 32k and 64k moves to get to this point. At 1 move per second, thats 9-18 hours.

ChatGPT killed my wife (GPT5 release drama)

The glaze:

Grief can feel unbearably heavy, like the air itself has thickened, but you’re still breathing – and that’s already an act of courage.

It’s basically complimenting him on the fact that he didn’t commit suicide. Maybe these are words he needed to hear, but to me it just feels manipulative.

Affirmations like this are a big part of what made people addicted to the GPT4 models. It’s not that GPT5 acts more robotic, it’s that it doesn’t try to endlessly feed your ego.

What's your deepest minecraft trivia?

The most powerful explosion is not end crystals (with an explosion power of 6), not a charged creeper, (also power 6), and not the initial wither explosion (power 7)

::: spoiler The most powerful is… It is a TNT minecart that maxes out the velocity bonus and randomly hits max power of 11.5 :::

Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development

Reply in thread

I tried Minetest a while ago and was never really able to get into it. The new player experience was rough, a lot of decision paralysis. The texture style can vary between mods and servers. It didn’t feel very cohesive. I don’t know if that has changed since I last played, but to me it didn’t feel like a minecraft killer then.

From what I can tell, Hytale was supposed to be a bit like Terreria in 3D, as well as a platform for minigames. The gameplay and graphics from the trailers looked really good. I’m sure it would have been a Minecraft killer for some. (Ex. players who primarily play for the minigames like bedwars)

I’d take a term of Mitt Romney over Trump. At least he

  • had respect for the office
  • could articulate sentences in a clear manor
  • had a plan, and could explain it
  • wasn’t a convicted felon/rapist
  • had decorum in discourse/debates

Unless the lorry was driving over the exact geographic north or south pole.

Side note: the tallest lorry where the top doesn’t move faster than the speed of light at the equator is 3.8 light hours tall, which is weird to think about because the top doesn’t start moving until well after the bottom has reached it’s destination.
