This hurt my mind. She should have poured as requested, as all need to pay. You cannot pay a quarter of a cent, that's as low as it goes.
The cents would pile up, for ever decreasing amounts of beer. So, I say, the bartender is the idiot; she sold more beer than need be for an amount that is not infinite.

Or she just makes them pay on the same tab and charges them for two beers.

Only if she is bad at math, honey.
You need to pay one cent for an infinite small amount of beer. She would be drowning in cents.

Not if she didn't charge them individually. I guess it depends on how you interpret the bill.
If I order a sampler platter and everyone partakes I don't itemize each individual mozzarella stick.
I mean, it would have been less confusing if they just ordered a pitcher and called it good, but they are using the 2nd glass as a small pitcher, effectively.

No bar I have ever been in would do that.
One beer, regardless of the container it comes in, gets charged by the container. Bottle, can, glass, cup, pitcher, even a keg.
Even if you only want the glass filled a quarter of the way they are going to charge for the full glass because that is the only way they can charge. That or give it to you free.

I mean, no bar has ever dealt with an infinite number of mathematicians either. Just sayin'

Well technically it wouldn't be infinite.
Last call happens for every bar I have been in. Places are packed but they still tell everyone to go home. So then the number is finite. Those served until last call.
So that line out the door, round the block, out the city, across the world and universe is just going to have to come back the next night.

Alternates (via ChatGPT) ...
1. The bartender exclaims, "This place is getting exponentially crowded!"
2. The bartender says, "I hope you're here for some real ale-gebra!"
3. The bartender asks, "Do you need a non-Euclidean space to fit all of you in?"

4. The bartender pours 2 pints and says "You guys really should know your limits"

But it will take them an infinite amount of time to finish the two beers.

Bars I go to last call has nothing to do with whether one has emptied the glass. They are out the door regardless.

Thought I'd put this in a separate post here.
I didn't realize that so many coders are trying generative AI to write code now, but I'm guilty of it as well, only I didn't have to come to CP and ask for human help to fix my AI help.
I spent the last week using AI to write code around my code, to optimize database functions in PHP8. I asked AI or ChatGpt to add try and catch statements, close the connection, free the statement, add error logging and include the function name in the error statements, add parameters and use prepared statements to over 900 database functions in this app I'm trying to get finished.
It made lots of mistakes at first, but I told it to remove certain stuff that wasn't compatible and it remembered the instructions for about 4 hours, and then it went dumb on me, and I had to start again with training. Seems like ChatGpt has multiple personalities, one that is lazy, one that is eager to help, and one that over helps and needs to be toned down, told that personality to keep it simple.
This was a case where it didn't steal someones code, but stole the coding style and structure from someone and added it to my code. ChatGpt says it can't run code, but it was able to recognize small mistakes in the code I inherited and fix them for me, and then brag about it. It also recognized database functions that should be transaction based and suggested the change and made them for me. It even went as far as breaking down large functions into multiple functions, and told me to complete that work my self, or fill in the blanks.
I got lucky and was able to use generative AI to perform work for me that was acceptable to use. But I can see how in the hands of new programmers, it can be a disaster if you don't understand what it presented or how it works.
That's my recent experience which was more positive than negative this time. Plus I had to know if this AI and companies claiming to use AI was just hype or not. Guess the question is one day in the future their going to charge money to use it, and if it's worth it or not.

I forgot about that. I finished reading Sovereign Individual last week and they spoke of the Luddites, that burned down the textile factories because they installed a machine that would cut the fabric, to replace the man with huge scissors. The owner of the factory simply wanted to automate a few functions, and got killed over that.
Well, they still exists out there, so I'll keep a watch.
