  • The most efficient base for a number system is e.

    We use base 10 with 0-9 digits and each position is a ten’s place, and the efficiency being measured is the product of the number of digits and the length of digits needed to represent a number in a given range of values. So if we used base 2 binary instead of base 10 decimal we only need to remember 2 digits 0-1, but to represent most numbers we’ll need more digits, 11 in base 10 is 1011 in base 2. On the other side we could use hexadecimal to write shorter numbers like 11 is B, but need to use more digits, 0-F digits where A-F are the 10-15 digits.

    If you try to plot a function that minimizes the efficiency the minimum is at e. So you’d have digits 0-2 and e would be written as 10 since each position is an e’s place.











  • Jennifer’s Body made some money but was poorly critically received, but it is actually a pretty good horror movie that was marketed poorly

    Lake Placid is meant to be a goofy comedy horror movie that is a fun watch and made just enough to trigger endless terrible sequels like Hellraiser and Amityville, reviews treated it like it was trying to play seriously but some of the lines are so cheesy

    Kelly Scott: The lake is so black and still.

    Sheriff Hank Keough: Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken

    If you’re into 80s action/thriller The Guest is an homage that does a really good job, and has a unique soundtrack

    Brick, early 2000s neo noir with the cast talking like a bunch of 1920s private eyes and gangsters. Like The Guest it was received well critically but just had a really small release.

    Blue Underground has a bunch of stuff no streaming service would ever touch
