  • You are truly an insufferable ass and rather than accept that and self correct you just keep doubling down.

    My favorite part is where you tell people they are in position to tell others how to behave while telling others how to behave.

    You’re such a hot headed never-wrong all your emotional intelligence has boiled off.

    Interacting with you is a boost. You’re ability to illuminate which side of the curve I’m has been wonderful.

    Thank you for the perspective. I didn’t need it but I’ll take it.







  • Someone has calculated the first 100 Trillion digits of pi, so if I understand the equation you’re suggesting they means it is possible to know if pi contains all permutations of all phone numbers.

    To keep the nerd going, I believe you’re over counting because not all 10 digits numbers are a valid phone number but I doubt that matters but it does reduce total number of numbers to find.

    And if we want to include international numbers the longest possible phone number is 15 digits which falls just outside the range of calculated digits 100 trillion (10e14)


  • Didn’t say anything about compression.

    Indexing and compression are not the same concept.

    If there was an index for all 5 digit sequences and their locations, it wood reduce the search space for finding a 6 digit number.

    This is about look up speed not saving space. Indexes always increase storage requirements. Always.

    The question being asked here is does pi contain my phone number? Not does pi contain my phone number with an index location whose numeric value is shorter than my phone number?




  • I checked a couple but none were found if I included the area code.

    Based on my sample size of half a dozen phone numbers, it doesnt seem to have numbers once they are more than 8 digits.

    Seems like there should some formula to determine how long the normal number needs to be to have all digits go to a certain length.

    Reminds me of the formula for calculating the shortest path to watch all episodes in a tv series in all possible orders.


  • Parents are humans with their own flaws and backstories. They’ve had (presumably) 20 years of the worlds bullshit flung at them before you entered the picture.

    This sort of sentiment is fine to say parent to parent but parent to child it is a massive cop out.

    “I had to put up with this bullshit, so you do to” is terrible parent.

    It’s not acceptable for a parent to forward the world’s bullshit onto their child.



  • I do as a software engineer. The fad will collapse. Software engineering hiring will increase but the pipeline of new engineers will is dry because no one wants to enter the career with companies hanging ai over everyone’s heads. Basic supply and demand says my skillset will become more valuable.

    Someone will need to clean up the ai slop. I’ve already had similar pistons where I was brought into clean up code bases that failed being outsourced.

    Ai is simply the next iteration. The problem is always the same business doesn’t know what they really want and need and have no ability to assess what has been delivered.
