complex_fir_reaon Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests

Your experience is similar to mine. I feel like my most stupid and forgettable comments generally get more attention and upvotes, but when someone makes a comment that's clearly false and I respectfully disagree citing authoritative sources, people get defensive and in some cases reply with ad hominem.

Tried to clear a confusion between DDR5 / LPDDR5 / DIMM standards and cited the relevant JEDEC standards with specific quotes? Get downvoted, all of arguments ignored and replied with more false information.

Tried to argue that, even if given a charitable interpretation, some units of measurement could be confused if not written correctly (on a conversation where such confusion was clearly happening already)? Downvoted.

Explain the difference between latency and throughput? Explain that O(1) ⊂ O(n)?

Reddit is full of idiots who are too confident about things they don't understand and aren't humble enough to admit they're wrong, so they just insist and I just don't care anymore.

And let's not even get started about having nuance and a balance point of view in politics.

complex_fir_reaon New type of dice guarantees no tie when deciding who goes first

I think it is not a matter of whether it is more of a "physical problem" or a "mathematical one". They knew a solution existed but it was physically unfeasible, which prompted them to mathematically optimize the solution by using fewer sides. They found a solution using only 120 sides, and a lower bound of 30 is known but brute-forcing it is still computationally expensive.

complex_fir_reaon Unusual Suspects

The criteria for accuracy is a bit mysterious to me, I drew Cinnamoroll instead of this "Pillsbury Doughboy" that I never heard about but still got 88% score.

I skipped straight to the end to find exactly what I expected the tutorial would cover: security and isolation.
