My climbing gym once played three different covers of “Tiny Dancer” back to back, an absolutely incredible decision

Hi, new friends from the Discover feed!

If you repost this and your account is indistinguishable from a bot farm account (bulk following, mostly reposting animal pictures + political memes, etc), I will block you!

Have a great day!

My first ATproto project is going to be a list called "People who are bad at computers" and will contain anyone with "no DMs" in their bio.

It's a platform feature! You can turn it off!

oh no, the engagement-farming Resistance Liberals have found my dog picture

Picture of Patrick Star from Spongebob, staring at a set of eyes which are staring back at him from underneath the house. This is from a well-known scene where he declares "who ARE you people?"

people will be like "im not a spin lattice in a network, flowing toward lowest energy as the external field and temperature allows!" and then affectively polarize based on some stuff someone at the domain wall of their social graph says to them

Too real – at my day job, we have machines with 128 threads / 1 TB of RAM / 32 TB SSDs, and discover something like this every few months…

I honestly can’t tell if it’s genuine, or an op that will turn into a cryptocurrency stealer in a few releases

the author’s profile picture has strong GAN vibes, which makes me more suspicious

Awesome work, but I actually need the 187th Fibonacci number. When can I expect that to be released?

Tyilo OP • 3h ago
When Rust 1.1337 adds u256 .

finally, some Good Code

crates.io/crates/fibon...

Screenshot of the fibonacci-numbers README, which reads:

First install the version of this crate corresponding to the Fibonacci number you want to use:

cargo add fibonacci-numbers@186 --rename fib186

Then you can use the VALUE constant to get its value:

assert_eq!(fib186::VALUE, 332825110087067562321196029789634457848);

Screenshot of the dependency list, which is fibonacci-numbers at versions 184 and 185.
