The only problem is that there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of hay stacks and the needle may not be in any one of them.

Scientists don’t actually know how to find what they are looking for. Like someone else said they are looking for a needle in a hay stack, but there are millions all over the world and it may not even be in a haystack.

Another idea is to assign each space 4 values: row, column, diag1, diag2. As you try to brute force it you can ignore any space where values match which would cut down the number of checks by orders of magnitudes. This, I’m sure has been used though.

Ok I’m confused. Is the problem with finding all the solutions or finding a single solution that scales to all infinity? If it’s the latter, all the solutions you displayed above, if the pattern is repeated, would do just that. If it’s the first one, then someone is going to have to break it to them that humans can’t…

Luckily my theatre has yet to experience a serious influx of moviepassers. If there is one thing this does not take into account is families. Parents will do anything to not have to care for their kids for 1.5-2 hours a day. Not only that, the theatre finds more outside food and candy trash from those groups. For 9.95…

I thought eyes work at about 200 fps. If it took a 50,000 fps camera to record it, it would only be roughly 250x the imperceptibility limit of the human eye.

Class action lawsuits are bullshit. Instead of it being opt-out it should be opt-in. Several acquaintances and a couple friends of mine have been burned by them.

This will probably be lost to the greys, but what DJI is planning to do is Illegal in the US. It would entitle users to a full refund and damages should they be incurred. If it requires registering on their website to update that could be seen as a valid obstacle to receiving the update as it wasn’t required to fly…

Your scenario is too unrealistic with the laws we have now. If you rent their device they can’t stop service immediately, they have to wait until the contract is up and then pick up the device same day so they don’t incur storage fees (have to work with home owner’s schedule). They would also be on the hook for any…

I would have loved to make a remark about how the democratic party is just as bad, but your post is oozing so much sarcasm that I am afraid that the world would be flooded with the vitriol that would be unleashed.

It’s a simple case meant to intimidate. A single small time lawyer would have an easy time defending the defendant. Hell, they could probably represent themselves if they have even a small amount of intelligence. They destroyed a forest in full or in part to transform it into either a wasteland or other things. All it…

Diamond is so artificially rarefied that it’s stupid. Give me actual gems.

You can if nobody is looking.

The problem being that there can be no oversight once they are produced on a wide scale. They do what they are programmed to do. If that means wiping out every gun toting american, that’s what they will do. Have you ever tried to read millions of lines of code for needles in haystacks? I have, you just can’t expect…

Ugh just like last time...

Hollywood is the only one to blame for this years movie performance. Our movie theater is down 41% from last summer. The only thing to blame is the lack of quantity of good movies. Looking at the lineup for next summer, I can most likely guarentee it’s going to be up 150-200% from this year.

A free thought? Assimilate!

If this is hostile, I’m so glad I don’t work in such a place where everyone has an “anxiety attack hair trigger.” it’s called growing some skin. It is definitely mild discomfort unless he was in a position of power and was using said authority in an inappropriate way. Now, was it the appropriate forum? Probably not.…

Investment =/ breakthrough. What we need to do is get everyone’s government to pass laws to drastically cut down on inappropriate antibiotic use.

Except people will die when a super disease gets spawned that spreads indefinitely because it is too contagious, too mobile, and immune to medication.
