It’s a little more specific, I think the patent is about:

• mounting either an air or ground mount
• when riding the air mount, going close to the ground transforms it into the ground mount and you keep riding it

But that’s still something multiple games have done in some way I think.

Your account name is me trying to spell Dijkstra

But the first few values are:

1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/21 + 1/28…

I really don’t see any pattern there showing why it converges to 2 exactly

Edit:

After thinking some more, you could write the sum as:

(Sum from n=1 to infinity of): 2/(n * (n + 1))

That sum is smaller than the sum of:

2 * (1/n²) which converges to π²/3

So I can see why it converges, just not where to.

For Celsius, 0 is freezing cold and 100 is boiling hot - that’s intuitive too.

I have literally never felt 0°F in my life and couldn’t tell you how cold it is, just that it’s very cold. I believe everyone has a rough understanding how 0°C and 100°C feel though.

Well, as much as possible anyway. When considering mass alone, life is quite efficient.

According to Wolfram Alpha:

The sun produces 3.8 * 10²⁸ watts.

A single human produces 104 watts (calculated through the average caloric intake assuming that intake ≈ energy consumption) through heat radiation.

Therefore:

1 kg of human converts 1.5 watt into heat.

1 kg of the sun converts 0.0002 watt into (heat) radiation.

And while I have nearly no understanding how entropy is calculated, from those values alone it seems like humans produce more entropy per kg than the sun. I’m pretty sure entropy is somewhat related to energy production though.

But are we actually creating order? To maintain life’s order, we are creating much more disorder somewhere else.

Life is but an entropy maximization machine.
