Maybe you can open 'er if you’re a gentleman.

That one wasn’t reeeeeeeeally writing at random though.

Security is, and always has been, a matter of making your shit harder and take longer to break. Any security is penetrable, given enough time and willpower, just make sure it takes longer than it’s worth.

If there are an infinite number of trials (either infinite monkeys or infinite time), the outcome is truly random, and the desired text is finite, it must necessarily happen at some point. In fact, it’d happen an infinite number of times.

The original thought experiment clearly states infinite. As soon as you bound that in any way (such as not infinite monkeys, but 1 monkey for every atom in the universe) you’re talking about another experiment entirely. Infinite means infinite, not really really big. Gotta use some critical thinking 👍

It also provides a raised grip for removing, but they could do both of those without THAT shape. Even rotating the hole 90 degrees would make it a little better on the key ring and still keep those marginal benefits.

I love the documentation.

Just… Why is it shaped like that? What possessed Samsung to make that design…?

Oh neat. This is all taxonomy that is well beyond me. My defense of calling humans monkeys is that everyone does it, and that’s how language works. Glad to know I’m correct too, technically lol

Ol Bill Shakespeare. He wrote Hamlet, one correct letter at a time.

To be entirely fair, apes aren’t monkeys. I don’t think that particular distinction is really all that relevant to the discussion, but technically…

Technically true, I think it still fits for the layman.

Weird how neither of those numbers are infinities. Almost like the numbers used are unfathomably small in comparison.

I would place money on some enthusiast somewhere having typed up Hamlet on a typewriter just for kicks. Surely in the hundreds of years of overlap between humanity, Hamlet, and typewriters, it’s happened once. I’d be more concerned with typos.

I think the point is less about any kind of route to Hamlet, and more about the absurdity of infinite tries in a finite space(time). There are a finite (but extremely large) number of configurations of English characters in a work the length of Hamlet. If you have truly an infinite number of attempts (monkeys, time, or both are actually infinite) and the trials are all truly random (every character is guaranteed to have the same chance as every other) then you will necessarily arrive at that configuration eventually.

As far as your process, of procedurally generating each letter one by one until you have the completed works, we actually have a monkey who more or less did that already. His name is William.

Why must the concept of time before the big bang (or after our heat death) exist in our physical reality for us to speculate about theoretical infinities past those? The thought experiment is about _infinite time, not all the time in our limited universe. A lot of things happen at infinity that break down as soon as you add a limit, but we’re not talking limits when we’re talking infinity.

My sarcastic asshole would have snapped the wheels off the bag if that’s the distinction they want to have.

What, was it blowing a whistle?

Why bother commenting if all you care about is their grammar?

No rules, mate. That’d be silly.

But yes, generally people only so staunchly defend a position such as “I’m not mad” when they have some reason to portray themselves as not mad. Maybe ego, thinking they’re above it, or they actually are mad and feel silly getting mad over some Internet BS.

If you’re not mad, why not walk away? What do you gain by staying here? Day 1 of the Internet, don’t feed the troll.

For what it’s worth, my motivation here: this is HILARIOUS bro.

Also, it was paraphrasing. If it was supposed to be a direct word for word quote, I’d have used quotation marks.

Fair regarding to.

The reason you appear mad is because you keep replying, so vehemently adamant that you’re not even the slightest bit upset, and yet you’re spending so much energy to deny it. Thou dost protest too much.

Keep being mad bro

I’m ignorant of a great many things, bro. We all get mad. Just own it, bro.

Also, if you wanna be a pseudo intellectual at least spell “do” right.
