No Asimov, No Robot Laws

Description

A dark-mode social media screenshot from "Dev meme" shows the text: `>> "I can't break the Three Laws of Robotics"` followed by "Imagine if there was no Azimov". Below it is the Roll Safe meme image of a man pointing at his temple with a knowing expression. The joke relies on a deliberate Asimov/Azimov pun: without Isaac Asimov's famous science-fiction framing of robot laws, the robot would have no such rule set to violate.

Azimouth?

need more 4:20 per day? I have a simple solution. Just use 8hr system instead of 12hr or 24hr Convert table 24hr to 8hr: [0:00 to 7:59] is [dawn 0:00 to dawn 7:59] [8:00 to 15:59] is [day 0:00 to day 7:59] [16:00 to 23:59] is [dusk 0:00 to dusk 7:59]

  Why would you keep basing it on 24h? Lets correct our calendar and make the day’s length derive from the years length. With what accuracy can we check for a whole rotation of the earth around the sun?
@ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y

This way we could have days where it’s dark and also where its bright
@ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y

Also we would eliminate leap years

  What about leap seconds though?
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  those are caused by days not being 24h long iirc
  
  @SamsonovAnton 3y
  
  Those are caused by Earth rotational speed not being stable and predictable when it comes to sub-second precision.
  
  @azizhakberdiev 3y
  
  No, the meaning of an hour is 1/24 of a day. A whole revolution of the earth around the sun happens in about 365.25 days
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  my guy, days aren't even always the same length.
  
  @azizhakberdiev 3y
  
  These inaccuracies are negligible. I want to say that a year means revolution around the sun, a day means revolution of the earth around its axis. If a year = k * a day, k is not necessarily an integer
  
  @callofvoid0 3y
  
  short has enough capacity to store days of a year(except for floating point)
  
  @azizhakberdiev 3y
  
  2^8 = 256 < 365
  
  @callofvoid0 3y
  
  this is an unsigned byte
  
  @azizhakberdiev 3y
  
  Oops, yup, short was 2 bytes long
