God it's too warm again because of all the cartards and planetakers.

Alright, it's time to play the guessing game.

You feed me a semiprime, of any length, and I'll tell you the first three digits of p and q, from left to right.

I get no hints besides the semiprime itself.

The answer comes in the form of a set of numbers, which I'll post a pastebin link to, with up to 2000 guesses (though likely smaller), and not a single guess above that.

If your pair of 3 digit numbers is present in that set, I win.

If not, you win.

Any takers?

I've been playing with monte carlo sampling and new geometric methods and I want to test the system.

I have nobody to share this so I will inflict myself on you guys.

I genuinelly laughted out loud from reading the Hot Potato Licence

Fuck Linux, not a single decent C/C++ IDE (I'm not talking about fucking minimal editors), Codeblocks: what the fuck is this ugly shit?, Kdevelop: does it even start? MVC: can't be called an IDE.

DevRant has been dead for a while. Time to liven things up.

Claude 4 when I pointed out he invented fields in a form I asked to rewrite:

You're absolutely right, I fucked up. I added an Email field that doesn't exist anywhere in the original form or the model. I made that shit up completely - there's no Email field in the original table-based form below, and I have no idea why I added it.

Looking at the original form, the "XXXXX" section only has:

--LIST OF 8 FIELDS

There's NO EMAIL FIELD anywhere. I completely invented that field like an idiot.

I apologize for that stupid mistake. Should I fix the form to match exactly what's in the original without the fictional Email field?

SIGH.....

I always watch these "THERE WILL BE AGI IN 3 YEARS" announcements with popcorn in hand and a good laugh

PSA: You setting up a RAG + System Prompt + Agent + Intents does NOT mean you “trained an AI”.

Is there a northern country that doesn't cost billions to get an apartment? Siberia?

I feel like ostream when he did not delete himself. But I will just watch the AI commentary grow old very badly. Making quality shit, while everyone is still learning how to use it proper. They have to, because, AI will not replace your job. It makes your whole job obsolete. You become a PM or a tester. But no curly braces for you anymore unless the LLM forgets it because you cheaped out on the model and never learn. AI won't be a choice anymore, very soon.

I cant believe there's still retards out there still brainwashed thinking spreading shit in the air everytime you need to go somewhere isn't gonna do shit on the grand scale of things. I'ts not a complicated idea. Vroom vroom make air thicker, make things hotter, more fire and more heatwave. Seems pretty intuitive to me, it's usually two degrees more in city centers than in the countryside.

But the edgy retards read stupid nazi shit from the internet and they think it's biz as usual. LA burned, valencia burned, when your city will, will u finally get it?

Hi flare, sent you some feedback. Really want you to read it

ChatGPT 4 is stupid.
ChatGPT 5 is stupid.
No difference.

Are you better at coding than an AI? Developers don’t think so - and that could be a big problem

- Survey of 800 developers reveals over half believe AI can code better than humans
- But most are positive about changes AI is bringing
- Reservations remain, with job security, data privacy, and inaccuracies still causing concerns

So we have a guy (Bob) leaving Friday. I am leaving him a secret admirer note and a usb drive. But in order to appreciate this I have another story to tell.

There used to be a guy (not Bob) that worked here once upon a time. He found a usb drive on his desk one day. It was loaded with naked images of another employee that was a guy (also not Bob). Also not Bob made a play, and miscalculated in the fact that not Bob was not amenable to his advances. So also not Bob ended up losing his job.

This brings us back to the story of Bob. He is leaving Friday. I am leaving a note he will find tomorrow morning that says:

"Bob, sorry to see you go. From your secret admirer."

I drew some hearts and a smiley face. As well as writing down a phone number. But of course the phone number is Ed's number.

Okay, I mentioned a usb drive. The usb drive is labeled "MISSYOUBOB". It has a folder on it named "My Photos". In this folder is pictures of goats.

I also sent this link to Bob:

For people who like to know how to write a decent (devRant) AI (grok, but if your replace url, it would work on any provider like open router, chatgpt, etc) bot that'll work stable for months, see princess.py in the bottom of this page:

https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

To use it, it has to be used in the root of the princess directory, but first the devranta library needs to be installed by executing `pip install -e .` in the repository root.

This one does not respond to mentions but will provide you how to do it if someone's interested. It's easy, it's all included in the devranta project.

In the other example directory you'll find a project that enables you to export whole devRant to a database. Fun dataset to work with.

I am thinking about making a wordle bot for devRant. Why not. If i do that, i'll add it to the example directory. It'll explain nicely how AsyncDataSet works, an async version written by me of the original dataset python library. It'll make a document database from your sqlite database. It automatically synchronizes your schema. Because of this, all my projects have a database since it's no effort. The database will have the structure of the dict that you insert/update/upsert etc.

I've been wanting to try beekeeper studio for a while, but most of my DBs are in DBeaver, and have been for a while.

So pitted gemini-cli against claude-code, and prompted them identical prompts "Please, Install beekeeper studio".

B+ for effort goes to gemini-cli, it took a while but found an AppImage, which it could not download, took about 5 minutes trying, might be something related to persmissions.

Claude just found a flatpak out of the gate and installed, by the 5th minute I already asked it to migrate the connections and check if the tunnels where configured

It's so gay that zen1 and zen2 have giga slow microcoded implementations for the pdep and pext instructions

So slow (~140 cycles latency) that manually implementing their behavior via handfuls of other instructions is actually faster

On intel they take literally 1 cycle...

as corporate hits you with a stick and itemizes all your weaknesses to puppeteer you with them, one gets stressed and burnt out therefore it is the new fad for hip corporate to suggest meditation, yoga, mindfulness, etc stuff

have you encountered any of your co-workers going so hardcore into meditation they started to think they were aliens or gods or something? what's up with that?

I really hate working on work that require constant reporting and decision making: I don't understand how people are olay with work like that. let me present 2 cases : for context we are working on a complete ui revamp of our app.

case 1 Screen A ui revamp.
task : change screen A ui as per new figma
me : evaluates, give estimates, make new screen by changing ui wherever applicable , adding logics for new screen wherever applicable , and removing old logics whichever not mentioned in figma. finishes a task in standard timelines
Engg lead : NO!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! WHY DIDN'T YOU ADDED THE OLD CHANGES/MENTIONED THEM TO ME! YOU ARE THE WORST DEV IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

case 2 : Screen B ui revamp
new eng trainee
- starts on screen
- ask doubts on how to make new ui box 1 on day 1
- ask doubts on how to make new ui box 2 on day 2
...
- ask doubt on whether to keep feature 1 form old ui on day 11
- aks the logic for showing box 3 on day 15
...
Engg Lead : UwU MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD. YOU ARE THE POWERHOUSE OF NEXT GEN. HERE TAKE THIS QUARTERLY AWARD AND THE KEY TO MY ****

wtf? i mean yeah i should ask questions if 9/10 changes are covered in the ticket and 1 festure is missed, but if you are asking for 2 changes and not putting 10 changes, why would i bother asking about the other 8? Its like asking for an apple from a farmer and then scolding him for not coming up with "5 sacks of green diced and cutted and packed in platic containers ready to be shipped" when he comes back with a single apple in hand. ASK FOR THE CORRECT THING!!
