Q: Is this an interval graph?

Each vertex represents an interval, and an edge is present between two vertices if the corresponding intervals overlap. The following is an example interval graph wi...

@exedraj lol

> "How many yards are in a month?"

A month has 28 days, each day has 24 hours.
That’s 1,084,000 s per month.
So a yard is 1,084,000 divided by 3,600 seconds.
That’s 33.

According to GPT, there are 33 yards in a month.

Redwolf Programs

A month is about a third of a football field

Aaron Miller

> "How many months are in a football field?"

Answer: One football field is 53.3m long. There are 12 months in one year. Therefore, one football field is equivalent to 0.45m months.

exedraj

> 0.45m months

@AaronMiller wait why are we dividing by 3600?

Aaron Miller

I don't know.

exedraj

01:24

108400 / 3600 doesn't even equal 33

It equals 30.11111111...

Dude coinheringaahing

@AaronMiller Wait. An hour has 3600 seconds. It says "1084000s per month" based on "A month has 28 days, each day has 24 hours", aka, their product. So dividing by seconds per hour, should just give 28 :P

And that's not even the correct product either :P 28*3600 != 108400

Aaron Miller

But it must be true. The AI can't be wrong.

Dude coinheringaahing

That looks like someone who can't do those kind of calculations bs-ing their way into people thinking they can :P

okie

@exedraj excellent question, i think they just mark you as bot regardless

Dude coinheringaahing

"7 times 5 is, as we all know, 25. We then carry the 4, divide by it's inverse to get 19, before subtracting the product of it and it's square, to give us 41. Which is the product of our first two numbers, 7 and 5"

okie

01:27

And I was at school, doing a code contest, regret using C++

i should have fricking used python ;-;

exedraj

@Dudecoinheringaahing wrong.

> 7 times 5 is 30, and then you would have to multiply it by 7 to get your total. So, you could either multiply 7 times 5, which is 35, and subtract that from your original number, or you could multiply the new number, 30, by 7, which is 210.

@AaronMiller which model?

can someone even tell me what return value 3221225477 means

Aaron Miller

> 7 times 5 is 25, and 25 is one less than 26, so 26 is not a prime number. Note that if 26 were a prime number, then 25 would be divisible by 26, which is impossible (division by zero is not allowed).

exedraj

Dude coinheringaahing

From "All of the prime numbers are less than 3", "The smallest prime number is 2", "there are no prime numbers between 2 and 3" and "The largest prime number is a really huge number called Graham’s number", we can therefore conclude that: Graham's number is actually equal to 2, and is the only prime number

@Dudecoinheringaahing Son, that phone has rotted your mind. I am afraid I will have to take it away from you. When I was a child, we didn't have any of these facebooks, we just had normal books. We didn't have googles, we had a proper library that we walked into to find information. We didn't have phones, we just talked very loudly to speak to our friends on the other side of town.

I am afraid I will have to ground you and take away all of your technology. A little bit of fresh air is all you need to become happy again. The radiations from the phone are hurting you. Look, they are even making me age rapidly. When I was young, people lived to 200 years old because there was no 5G or microwaves. Now the radiations are killing your braincells and giving you cancer.

who the fuck puts soy sauce on/in sweet chilli crisps

Dude coinheringaahing

(Soy sauce and sweet chili) flavoured crisps doesn't sound too bad tbh

user

@user Son, those friends have rotted your mind. I am afraid I will have to take them away from you. When I was a child, I didn't have any friends, I just had myself. We didn't have towns, we just talked very loudly to speak to ourselves in the middle of the desert.

@user Imagine not getting 5G from the covid vaccine

@pxeger I think dipping the crisps into the soy sauce would be bad, because they'd just be a soggy mess. But flavouring them with soy sauce flavouring doesn't sound bad

user

Oh, and don't wear that damn mask when you go outside! It'll just stop you from breathing that fresh air and give you COVID! And don't you dare go within a mile of those vaccination centers, you'll catch COVID and magnetism there!

pxeger

@Dudecoinheringaahing it is bad, trust me

Dude coinheringaahing

@pxeger What's your opinion on a) prawn cocktail crisps, b) marmite crisps and c) ketchup crisps?

user

@Wezl Nah, a real boomer would say, "When I was a child, I had real friends, and we all lived in the same house because the world was smaller then. We didn't make friends across the world like you do now, we just called them slurs and chased them away. Nowadays you youngins have these FAKE friends that live inside your computers."

@Dudecoinheringaahing a) alright; b) questionable; c) never tried em but they don't sound very nice

(I do like Marmite on toast/etc though (Vegemite is better though (come at me)))

user

Crisps = chips?

pxeger

@user False

user

What are they, then?

Dude coinheringaahing

@pxeger Sorry, in order to get me to trust your crisp tastes, the correct answers were a) awful; b) good; c) not nice

@user UK crisps = US chips

pxeger

@user uk("crisps") = am*rican_'english'("chips")

@Dudecoinheringaahing salt and vinegar or else

Dude coinheringaahing

UK crisps != UK chips; UK chips = US fries

pxeger

@Neil depends on the flavour of vinegar

(if that makes any sense)

Dude coinheringaahing

@Neil Not my goto, but a respectable crisp flavour :P

user

@pxeger ಠ_ಠ

pxeger

when in doubt, ready salted is reliably good

Neil

15:43

(I will accept ready salted as a last resort)

pxeger

cheese and onion is even more variable depending on the type of cheese

Dude coinheringaahing

Ready salted is my "litmus test" flavour when I try a new brand of crisps

If you can't do a good bag of ready salted, you can't be trusted to make good flavours

pxeger

@Dudecoinheringaahing the worst crisps I ever had were ones where you're supposed to add the salt yourself

never had such greasy fingers or such inconsistent crisps

I love that all the non-British people have dropped out of the conversation lmao

Dude coinheringaahing

So they just gave you a bag of flavourless fried potato, and a thing of salt?

pxeger

@Dudecoinheringaahing yep, but the thing of salt is in the bag

which is very annoying

user

15:46

@pxeger Too disgusted to keep talking :P

Dude coinheringaahing

@user I've tried both American "cool ranch" doritos and UK "cool original" doritos, and I've never seen a bigger difference :P

pxeger

what the hell is "cool ranch"?

Dude coinheringaahing

It;s like if you dialled "cool original" up to 11

pxeger

@Dudecoinheringaahing seen? I'd expect them to at least look fairly similar :þ

Wezl

@Dudecoinheringaahing which is better >:?

Dude coinheringaahing

15:48

@pxeger Surprisingly, there is actually a visual difference :P

pxeger

@Dudecoinheringaahing which dials? the saltiness? spiciness? mysterious-cool-flavour-iness?

Dude coinheringaahing

@Wezl Neither of them are "better", they're too different to compare

@pxeger Yes

pxeger

I see lol

favourite pringles flavour?

Dude coinheringaahing

The other thing I encourage any Brit in the states to try is ranch dressing. It's a very weird thing that is so ubiquitous and uniquely American

@pxeger Texas BBQ

pxeger

Texas BBQ sucks, fight me

I had that message pre-prepared in case you answered that lmfao

@pxeger Heathen :P

Aaron Miller

(I just wanted to contribute to the conversation)
