Happy Skynet day to those who celebrate

Youre still talking like you have experience with humans generally, when you only have experience with one kind of human
You do not. You have likely never had prolonged interaction with anyone not in that situation.
good/bad
Im kind of into neitzsche; i think these words are lazy shit. Not something i use internally.
for whom that won't work
For whom what won't work? Actively cultivating the most egregious vices that can be incubated in our flesh, and then throwing people away like garbage? I don't know what you're picturing here, but you seem to be ewuating cruelty and horror with effectiveness and efficiency, which seems kind of fucked up vile and provably wrong, but you don't seem receptive enough to outside input to make laying that out worthwhile.
minimized/controlled
Completely missing the point. it's being controlled and optimized for now, and you have never met any person for whom it was not.
forced control
Dude why do i need control? Why does anyone?
correct these problems as soon as rgey occur
Im all for prevebtion, and i do think a less fucked society pretty much always eesults in a healthier populace, but people don't need to be perfect. Not even close. I'd like to give them the opportunity, but it is not required of them.
can only fix problems early
Nope. Bullshit. Its harder, and im all for prevention and early intervention to minimize the time people suffer, but it's not a requirement of a bwtter world; just a very likely product.
form of government
Not a huge fan of those!
You're talking like humans aren't the same everywhere. Cultures vary, but overall there's the same ranges of personality types everywhere.
Whatever. You're obviously too full of yourself for productive conversation - never mind your incorrect and irrelevant assumptions about my life experiences. Good night.

Slow acceleration, built like a tin can and roughly half the size, but gets 40 miles per gallon?
I thought those things got closer to 55mpg?

Only bevause we make tgem that way. You haven't seen enoufh variety to know what's software and what's hardware. Thats what im saying.
Like having only ever run windows computers with x86 processors, from ms-DOS to win11, but only windows. Maybe you've seen a server edition, but more likely you haven't.
There are underoying rules and underlying fundamental limits, and functions of what happens and is easy/hard are based on the x86 instruction set, but you have no way to know what's that and whats a microsoft windows thing.
And im telking you, as someone who used os/2 back in the mists of time and linux mint a couple times and raspbian on ARM once, a couple versions of android, ios for a month, even saw someone run slackware once and had to work wirh a RISC based microcontroller:
i dont know that I know enough to say what fundamental behavior is, but i know with certainty that you dont even have those glimpses into other worlds and ways of being that ive had. I just know it isn't what you're claiming.
my life experiences
Yes im sure youve seen subjected people in both koreas china japan vietnam and thailand, india and pakistan and armenia and yemen and jordan and south africa and bolivia and france and ireland and portugul and canada. And for some things those differences matter! But this variable is one you have not seen a range of.

It’s really a term from statistics. It’s the same as an exponential growth rate, but you only take the value of the exponential function at discrete intervals.
If you had a function you wanted to graph like 2^x^, exponential growth is like saying x can be any real number (even a fraction or something) and every part of the line you draw is counted, but geometric growth would be a discrete value for
xlike [1, 2, 3, …, n] where x is from that interval pattern. It’s useful in statistics for measuring data based on something like time. The examples I was taught were like cells splitting in two at a fixed time interval. You can still draw the graph like it’s a single curve to visualize it, but the actual data points are at discrete values forxand just not in between.I haven’t had a stats or math class in a long time, but I believe this is correct enough from a quick scan of Wikipedia.
Yeah, that's basically how I remember it, though it's not always stats--the terms are used in other fields of math as well. A first calculus class typically includes a proof that the limit of the sum of an infinite geometric series (a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + ...) tends towards a/(1-r) where a is the first term and r is the ratio of successive terms, provided that -1 < r < 1. (Otherwise the series diverges and the limit isn't defined.)

Idunno, it's been like a decade since I had to lay mine to rest, and I didn't keep track of the gas mileage. I know it was bonkers though

What a wild counter-idea. "Go back in time and kill Hitler": played out.
"Go back in time and clash with the invading aliens who have sent their own people back in time to destroy us from the past by installing players that will wreck us as a species over time": oh. As I say it, this is half-way to This is How You Lose the Time WarKinda weird seeing a reference to a book I just got done listening to. +1 for This is how you lose the wime war.

Your seemingly desperate need to impress - along with a number of other clues - strongly suggest to me that you're... shall we say... "not entirely truthful"?
This is pointless. Go ahead & get it out of your system: enjoy one last opportunity to give me another fake Internet demerit as if it meant anything (note that I've not done the same - those you've received weren't from me). Just another of the several hints you've provided regarding how seriously to take your claims and assertions.
Once again, good night.

Anyone care to explain what a geometric rate is?
It's about 1 gigaArnold/s^2

About what? The operating system i use? That was a metaphor!

I skipped the metaphor entirely because it made no sense - particularly in this context (among other reasons). i was referring to several of your prior responses cumulatively.

Absolutely! I vaguely remember a discussion of geometric growth in at least one other course, but I was doing my best to give a thorough layperson’s explanation without getting into more analytic definitions for geometric series or the concept of continuity. I studied abstract/theoretical mathematics in my undergraduate degree, so I only really remember seeing geometric growth defined in statistics courses as far as applied mathematics goes as I avoided those courses where I could. I’m not in academia, and I did not pursue a further degree, so my apologies if I wasn’t entirely accurate. My mathematical theory is very rusty these days. lol

Oh, I only minored in math, I'm no expert either! Yeah, your explanation was really fine, I just thought the "sum of a geometric series" thing might ring a bell for some readers.
