  • The problem is the ambiguity of the statement. Is it 50% of each species? Or is it 50% of all life as one set?

    If it's the former case, then sure 3.5b humans and n/2 bacteria gets snapped.

    But if it's the latter case, we group all 7b and n bacteria into one set and snap half of them. This 50% can consist of 50% humans + 50% bacteria, but there's also a chance for it to include 0% humans + 100% bacteria. Therefore, the amount of humans snap is a random variable instead of a constant.

  • Say, there exists 2 humans and 98 bacteria. Consider all cells of a human one life.

    50% of ALL life doesn't care which species the life is, and therefore there's a chance that 50 bacteria die. The probability of that happening is 98C50 / 100C50 = 98! 50! 50! / (100! 50! 48!) = (50)(49) / ((100)(99)) = 0.247

    For my previous argument, I did not actually do the math. Now that I have done a little bit, the probability seems to converge at 25%

    Obviously, this is based on the interpretation of "all life". For my interpretation, "all life" includes every life in a single set, and apply the 50% snap to that. For some others however, it may be interpreted as each species in their own set, and the 50% snap is applied on each set individually.

  • If you include bacteria, then probably no human died from the snap. There are significantly more of them

  • Interesting. I didn't know the beta version exists. I'll try it out later. Thanks!

  • I did try it. It doesn't let me download the entire album though :<

  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I use "Gelli" which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it's buggy and haven't been updated in a while, so I'm planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named "Symphony". It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    Jump

  • I imagined it in a cartoon-ish fashion, so I think I can actually draw it out.

    • Red ball
    • Male
    • Like Google's default profile picture, without facial features, except he's in gray and has a neck
    • My single hand can surround more than half of it in a cross section view, so about 12cm in diameter
    • Rectangular table, about 5:2, I didn't imagine the material, but it's plain brown, so I guess wood?

    Additionally, the ball rolls parallel to the long edge of the table, and falls off the short edge. The person also have legs.

    I already had these in my mind before being asked.

  • Any other color

  • Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.

    Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

  • Global hotkey is only used for playing the sounds and nothing else, and that is basically just running a command.

    This will play all files that has an audio stream (cls is also using this command):ffmpeg -i <file> -f s16le - | pacat -d <sink> --channels=<1 for mono, 2 for stereo> --rate=<sample rate> --volume=<0-65535, 65535 = 100%>

    I guess it is pretty complicated so maybe I'll add a way to play files.

  • Hongkonger moment

    I'm seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

    For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don't have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

    There used to be a joke about "Lee's Forcefield", where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

    Therefore yes, you're going to work.

  • During my development, I have found 2 different crates that handles global key input. They are inputbot and mki. I looked at some issues in inputbot and learnt that they are using libinput as the backend. I didn't read about mki though.

    This soundboard is using mki, and global hotkey is working in Wayland (at least for Plasma).

  • Having a relationship is a bonus for me. Not having one is normal, and I don't mind.

    Also that's like a few hundred things that I don't have to worry about.
