The Valenzetti equation stuff was from The Lost Experience, and isn't considered to be completely canon. The 'correct' explanation of the numbers is what was presented this season.

I see. Still, hopefully we'll eventually get an explanation of how the numbers in the cave relate to the numbers in the Dharma computer.

anyone want to buy a bobblehead :p

I think the numbers' story is incomplete then. Why would they be transmitted and used for the computer? (Of course *anything* could've been chosen as the passcode for the computer.) Their significance outside Jacob's use hasn't been explained, that I can remember.

(Note that I'm not familiar with The Lost Experience, so I don't know that part of the story.)

I still question why MiB can't leave the island. What's stopping him. What he needs to do in order for him to be able to leave. And why Jacob could leave & he can't. Still a lot of questions between these two immortals. Guess we'll find out soon.

Any regligion experts here know that compass bearing is actually a bible chapter?

Was it like 135 degrees?

After the island moves

In "The Lie", after the island moves and the time shifts begin, Juliet suggests escaping on the Zodiac raft. However, Daniel says he would have to calculate a new bearing based on "where we are now, in time."

108In "Lighthouse" Jacob instructs Hurley to rotate the lighthouse mirrors to 108°, which is the total of all of the 'numbers' summed together, suggesting that this is the new bearing.

I'm pretty sure that's been brought up before. I think it's all a play on religions. They are both trying to convince people to play for their team. Which is and which is bad depends on who you ask. The numbers in the computer are probably just another example of how Jacob thinks/says he doesn't force people to do anything but in reality he has a lot more effect on people than they know.

But Richard didn't really have any pull with Dharma (to say the least). I doubt Dharma would just say "Sure, no problem." to a request of "Build a transmitter and transmit these numbers." The numbers must have another meaning.

Thanks for that :) Never realised Daniel Faraday (RIP) said that.

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
