  • There is not really a concept of a “true beginning” in this type of mathematics. The beginning is defined to be wherever you start.

    Where does a circle start and end? Every point on a circle is both the beginning and the end of that circle. The math of permutations and combinatorials are closely related to the geometry of circles and because of that they take on a lot of similar properties. Another way to phase this question is “If I have a set of beads that are all the same size but different colors, and I want to chain multiple beads of different colors together using specific limited pallets of colors to make bracelets, what is the bracelet with the smallest size where after one rotation around the bracelet I will have seen every possible combination of the set of colors used in the pallet for that bracelet.” If that sounds confusing, it’s because it is.


  • I would suggest taking this issue up with a professional therapis, and not random internet strangers that are most likely AI, corporate astroturfers, government agents, or some combination of the three. We are not here because we want to help you, we’re just the ones that happened to be browsing the public forums at this moment in time. So your answers will vary wildly. I strongly recommend not using the internet to solve mental health problems. Social media can give you validation so you feel good, and we can also bully you so you feel bad, but we can’t reliability help you find a partner.

    Do I think you will find someone? I don’t know. How could I possibly know that? Pointless question. How could any of us know for certain what is or isn’t going to happen to you?

    Yes, it is possible for anyone to find someone. There are countless stories and historical events describing such things. The concept that love extends beyond physical and practical attraction is something that you are likely already aware of. If you know this to be true, but you don’t believe the evidence, then your issue is psychological. Social media is not the tool to use to permanently solve these types of issues, it can only provides temporary relief.





  • AI is ruining YOUR online experience? The internet is a free land for intelligences of ANY race, including artificial.

    But on a more serious note, I don’t agree. The AI infestation only highlights the fact that most people don’t need to be online and aren’t helping make the internet better. If I can replace my overwatch teammates/reddit discussions/tiktok shorts with crappy AI, and it’s the same experience 98% of the time, then those people weren’t bringing anything of value to the internet and they probably shouldn’t have been flooding it with their garbage in the first place. Turnabout is fair play. Don’t hate the player (AI) for playing the game correctly and copying what people have been doing for decades, hate the game that’s allowed low effort garbage content to flourish. I strongly believe AI is going to help clean this place up by getting people to start acting like sentient beings instead of mindless animals.
