Infinite Check-In Problems At Hilbert's Hotel
Hilbert's Hotel is that famous mathematical thought experiment where a fully booked infinite hotel can still accommodate new guests by shifting everyone to the next room number. But the title "Hi, My Name Is Abbabaababbabbbaaa..." is pure genius - it's what happens when the poor guy in room 1 has to keep introducing himself after his room number keeps growing exponentially with each new batch of guests. Imagine trying to fill out your address on Amazon orders. The delivery person would die of old age before finishing reading the label.

My Room When One Guest Shows Up To The Hilbert

My Room When One Guest Shows Up To The Hilbert
Room number 419+1? Mathematical humor at its finest! This is a brilliant nod to Hilbert's Hotel paradox, where even an infinitely full hotel can still accommodate more guests. The "+1" notation is the mathematician's way of avoiding writing 420 (a number with certain... cultural associations), while simultaneously referencing how in the famous thought experiment, you can always fit one more person by asking everyone to move to room n+1. Pure genius for anyone who's spent too much time in abstract math seminars!

My Arduino spins faster when Claude burns more tokens

Repurposed a broken Stirling-engine chassis as a desk toy that spins when Claude Code is busy and dies when I lock my Mac. Arduino + Kasa + Python. Read article →
