    Factorial means n! = (n)(n-1)(n-2)… etc. down to 1, where n is a positive integer. It’s used to calculate the different number of configurations of a set of elements, mainly in combinatorics.

    Like if you have four different objects and you want to know how many different configurations you can order them in, you have four choices for the first object, then three for the second, then two for the third, then one for the final slot. So the answer is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 = 4!.











  • I don’t hate all uses of AI and use it quite a bit (particularly for translation and coding). But I absolutely do hate the low-effort, garbled memes it generates, and the endless sea of garbage websites with inaccurate AI-generated text that make it hard to find real information anymore.

    That’s the slop, and you can easily hate the slop without hating everything about AI.

    Silly in this case, though. That looks like a real cat, and doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of slop.
