One Propaganda, Because There Isn’t Enough Of That Yet

one propaganda, because there isn’t enough of that yet

-1, 0, 1, and 2 are the most important numbers. they are the basis of the integers, each of them providing something unique that every other integer builds off of.

all the other types of numbers, from rationals to reals to complex to transcendental, build off of the integers.

NaN, on the other hand, is the basis of nothing, and isn’t even that interesting on it’s own. I’ve been programming and dealing with floating-point numbers for years, and do you know how many times NaN has come in useful? precisely zero. even calculations that ‘should’ result in NaN, like dividing by zero, usually don’t even use it, instead just throwing an error. why? because an error is more useful than a NaN the vast majority of the time.

you know what NaN is? floating point filler. there were a bunch of bit representations left over (16,777,214 for the standard, 32-bit float) and the designers of the IEEE 754 float decided to make them all NaN because they didn’t know what else to use them for.

I had heard about porn bots on Tumblr, but I had gone for months of regular use of this site without seeing any. But these past few days, I have been getting flooded by follows from them. Are there any tools that can automatically block all users who’s names end in a 3-digit number?

I haven't seen it get mentioned on Tumblr yet but Samsung has just gotten caught in a hilarious scam: they apparently advertised how their latest phones can take great picture of the moon, compared to other phones!

But it turns out they aren't using machine-learning to clear up blurry pictures, they're using machine-learning to detect when you're taking a picture of the moon, and then they swap in a saved PNG file of the moon.

A reddit user figured this out by taking a photo of the moon from Wikipedia, blurring it in photoshop, then trying to photograph it from across the room with all the lights turned out.

Their Samsung phone somehow managed to "clear up" the blurriness and recover details that weren't there in the first place. Because it's just cheating.

Cooking With Tumblr: "Why Are We Here? Just to Suffer?" Edition

Tumblr, I come to you as a woman on the verge of fulfilling her destiny. Thanks to a viral poll by @relientk, the newest meme on Tumblr is vanilla extract, specifically the act of using too much of it. Pure vanilla extract is, of course, expensive and also strong in small amounts. Who among us has that much vanilla extract on hand and is foolish enough to attempt this?

Cooking With Tumblr: "Why Are We Here? Just To Suffer?" Edition

Me.

For personal reasons, I have a lot of vanilla extract in my apartment. It was here before the meme, and it will be here after. I had all the ingredients for the horrible poll cake except for milk, so I went out and bought some milk. It is three in the morning and very cold outside. Why am I doing this now instead of waiting for the poll to finish? Two reasons: the first being how fickle the internet in burning through memes, and the second being that five days gives my better judgement enough time to convince me not to do this.

Cooking With Tumblr: "Why Are We Here? Just To Suffer?" Edition

Will God stop my sinful hands before the cake makes it into the oven? Let's find out!
