All your base belong to us
Not to be that guy - just to make sure you nail it perfectly next time - it’s “all your base are belong to us”
What you say?
He said “all your base are belong to us” or something about zigs, it went by too fast
They set us up the bomb.
We get signal.
not base 1100; and it’s round!
every base is not base ten, and i will fight you on this one.
binary is base two, or as i like to refer to it, the power of 2 base.
In every base, a 1 in the second spot corresponds to the name of the base.
/r/swoosh
PS: Is there an equivalent in Lemmy for this yet?
waiting until people realize i said ten, instead of 10.
Ok then. In english, what would you call 4 in a base-4 system?
quad would be the formal root, so something based that, you could do a french thing where you go “half octal” you could just not use it because it’s a crime against humanity, and the joke here is dependent on the specific telling of the statement.
So, when you see 10 in base-4, you’d say “Quad”?
You said ten, the joke didn’t.
yeah, and weird story, i’m not the joke.
This cartoon is incomplete. Suck my cock all the way down to the base is the end.
Only when written, which is the whole point of notation. “Ten” is still a fixed amount, and so is four.
“ten” is a fixed amount in base 10. A base 4 user may have an entirely different naming system for numbers above 3, so “ten” could be twenty two, twoty two, dbgluqboq, or Janet. But similarly to how we don’t have a single syllable, dedicated number name for 22 (decimal), they may not have a single syllable, dedicated number name for 10 (decimal, which is 22 in base 4).
No, ten is a fixed amount in English. It has roots in base ten, but we also have eleven and twelve from other bases. (also dozen, gross, score.) In English there is no ambiguity when it comes to what number the word ten represents.
I never argued that. I wasn’t even talking about the word ‘ten’ in English but the usefulness of the word ‘ten’ in base 4.
EDIT: I see where you’re coming from: base 10 English also has a unique name for something that is not 0-9 or a power of 10 - however, the only reason to this is that they are from base 12. Obviously base 12 has unique words for numbers below the base. But not numbers above it (apart from maybe powers of 12). Which further proves the point.
even when written out non base ten systems, are still possible to be non base ten.
It’s only base ten when you convert from one base system to another. We are merely referencing between two base systems when we say that 4 bits is “16” because there are 16 possible options there. 16 is just our conceptualized version and conversion of that base system, in ours. You can read binary as if it’s just powers of 2, it’s incredibly trivial.
octal and hex are the best example of this, because octal skips numbers while counting. Hex introduces letters. Neither of which fly even remotely sanely through base ten. Unless you’re converting.
🤯
There are only 10 ways of doing things: the right way and the wrong way. (Programming joke)
Will only if your language is 1-index based, yuck. Otherwise there is just 0 and 1 way
There are actually 00000000000000000000000000000010 ways of doing things (in most languages)
This one took me a bit.
10 is actually only 2. The number of people misunderstanding binary here is mind blowing xD.
Not sure of you’re trolling or not…
Plot twist: there are 8 other stones and the alien is really using base 10 (or base 30 if you use base 4)
base 10 (in decimal) is expressed as “22” in base 4. 2*4 + 2
“2.5, 5, 7.5, TEN! See?”
Two point what?
“2.5, 5, 7.5, TEN! See?”
I remember someone trying to come up with a solution to this by generating a name for every single base, dunno if they’ve succeeded or not tho
You gotta tell the alien that you use base-22
Base 20. 1,2,3,4,10,11,12,13,14,20
That’s base 5.
No it’s base 10
just as theres no single numeral for 10 in base 10, theres no numeral for 4 in base 4.
1 2 3 10 11 12 13 20 21 22
pretty sure base 4 goes “1, 2, 3, 10”
You forgot to count 0. The alien should write 4 as 10, not 4.
