Back in the day, Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS defaulted to white text on a blue background. The claim was that we tend to see blue as "more distant", so this combination gave the least eye strain.

'a[t] top the webpage it says store! look it is clearly there it says: Browse, Activity, Leaderboard, and "Store"' This didn't need to be a PM. Yeah, do you see products in it? Likely to just be a default feature of the software the board uses. Still not a Brain Teaser or Puzzle.

If there's a store here it's news to me, and I've been here for a few years. How is this a Brain Teaser or Puzzle? (That doesn't mean "I have a question".)

Many thanks (again) to the mods who keep forums like this readable/usable. ... all voluntary. You are doing something that people appreciate.

I would understand (well, almost) updating wills so their stuff left behind goes where they want. (To their favourite sinner??) But what's the deal with selling their stuff? They're not going to take the cash with them. Is it a way to prove (perhaps to themselves) they believe? Show their faith to whomever?

Did you mean a distance, or speed? And what's this all about, anyway?

Can you demonstrate it with the example numbers? I chose numbers that were not many many digits for a reason.

Here are two numbers, imagine we don't know which is prime (if any): X = 7,823 Y = 7,827 Multiply by 5 as you like to do: X x 5 = 39,115 Y x 5 = 39,135 Exactly what are you going to do with 39,115 and 39,135, that makes it any easier to figure out which of 7,823 and 7,827 (if any) is prime, than just doing the same thing directly with 7,823 and 7,827?

Yes (or, um, no). Those two songs are suggested in a few places, but are not the target. Oh, might try that. The show is on two different streaming services I have access to, so worth a shot. I did consider that, and it could turn out true, but with the lyrics and all it seemed a bit much to be a one-off thing.

Sorry, I don't remember in enough detail for it to be useful, probably not able to be replicated exactly. I was googling with various combinations of the name of the show, the episode, and snippets of the lyrics I remembered. Sometimes just the lyrics, to try a music search distinct from the show. Later attempts used more lyrics I got from pages I found where people were asking the same question. (For the record, it was a song used in the middle of episode 20, season 5, of "The Rookie".) I use AI daily in my work now (programmer, mostly C#, mostly back end). Sometimes I'm astounded by AI code suggestions, but often it's easy to see where they come from - e.g. I just added a property to a model, now I go to where some code is setting values in an object and code "appears" to set the new property. About half the time though, the suggestions are just bunk. Most useful in general, is where I can ask CoPilot, in English, to give me the code to do something where I more or less already know the answer but getting a syntactically correct snippet to copy paste simply saves time. Hardly ever go to Stack Overflow now. What's your presentation on?

Another good suggestion, however in one of the places I found people asking the same question, somebody mentioned they'd tried Shazam and had no luck. (Maybe a fresh try would get a different result ...)

Thank you, but did try there and no luck.

But how do you know it's semi-prime?! And again, what method are you using to get that knowledge, that couldn't have just been applied to the original number?

Back to the OP; yesterday I was searching to find the song used in a particular episode of a TV show. Mostly all I could locate was other people also trying to find that same song. Eventually the AI summary on the search results said it was "Song Name" from the band "Band Name". Couldn't find that, or them, on Spotify, so tried searching for the song/band. The AI summary then said "There are no matches for that, it doesn't exist". Sigh.

Say your unknown (if prime or not) number is 3,343. Multiply it by 5 (which you know is a prime) to get 16,715 Exactly what will you do with 16,715 that is any easier/better/faster than just doing the same thing with 3,343 ? Enough with the hopes and dreams.

That all kind of sounds like putting on a backpack full of rocks, weighing myself, then subtracting the backpack to find my own weight. Exactly how is finding the factors of a semi prime easier than just finding the factors of the original number?

I don't think you'll find photos! :-)

What paradoxes? (Yes, there are things with "paradox" in their name, but they are not actual unsolved "issues".)

It's fun seeing all the places Pi shows up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vY0CKYhPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dTyOl1fmDo

Yay, once again "discussing" with an AI. Imagine that seed is an octect (or byte if you like). There could then only be 256 possible worlds generated. (If the procedure isn't deterministic, you won't get the same world each time). You could add tricks like using the encoding of the location of the world, the neighbors it has, ... as part of the seed to add variety, but that's not adding much. Obviously NMS will be using a bigger, more complex seed than just 8 bits - but the point is still: how much data is needed to be able to simulate your Universe, even given limitless time. So far all you've done is hand wave about a game that makes players happy for $34.39 NZD.
