Low amounts of sanity

@antigermgerm like others have said, it’s just an interesting spin on a c-like language.

It has a bit of syntax soup. It also has unorthodox ways of doing things. But once you get used to it, it’s very satisfying and interesting.

The compile times are also great compared to Rust

Zig fan club, checking in 🦎

What the fuck? I'm gonna need proof you're human, pal.

Also: please start on the work of human immortality, and let me know when you're finished!

That's a cool idea, I like that a lot actually. Maybe you can rename it to "recent upvoters" since that's a more accurate representation of what it is, and doesn't leave users wondering why only a subset of voters are enumerated by name compared to the definitive count?

@AlgoRythm Not to misconstrue my argument as "immigration is bad"

If a host country can reasonably provide for an immigrant, I think that's a net positive for the world at large.

Help people if you can.

But there's this web that modern politics spin about how "immigration is our strength".

No. Not unless you're only taking the best immigrants and leaving the average behind.

And if you're taking the best immigrants - they probably had above average living conditions in their home country anyways - so what's the point in that? You're not helping anyone who needs it.

Cancellable opinions come from four sources, as per my own observation;

- Unspeakable truths (xyz culture *really is* just like their stereotype)

- Bias ("I think this is true because I want it to be")

- Incorrect facts and/or baseless assumptions. ("I think this is true because I don't know better")

- Lack of empathy. ("I think this is true because I don't want to go through the emotional burden of considering the way others feel")

So don't be a pussy, OP. Fire away with whatever you're thinking and let the world judge you.

Let me break the ice: large scale immigration is a net loss for the host country. Reasoning:

Immigration from country A to country B is usually because country B lacks something that country A has.

For the most part, this is quality of life. This includes education.

Yes, some immigrants are LITERALLY Einstein (Germany > USA, 1933). However, the average immigrant is poor and has had less access to resources such as edition.

I didn't realize they stopped making Atom. I used it way back in the day before VSCode was the clear winner of the Electron Editor War.

Bit of a shame, but once VSCode started gaining ground, I ditched Atom pretty darn quickly. They both ran like shit on the budget laptop I had in college, so might as well go with the one that had the cool integrated terminal.

I ended up with JADE. It's a derivative of Differential Evolution which converges slightly slower, but more accurately (from my testing)

Liver toxicity is easy to test for, just a simple blood draw I believe. Go to your doc if you’re throwing up for no reason!

Nope

Slice your ass and shove it vertically up my architecture

Windows yet again catches flak for a third party's AV fucking something up.

Meanwhile, if you can get Wi-Fi to work on Linux, you're an actual computing deity.

Putting my beloved YouTube, home of long-form esoteric content next to TikSlop gets you -10 points, sorry guy. That's fucked up.

Oopsie, our thinly-veiled human imitation machine hasn't been trained to specifically handle that use case yet! We only trained it for strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry; sorry. In 6 months we'll add a lexical tool the bot can use so we can claim the bot is smarter, even though it's still dumb as shit and just routing questions to the appropriate tools. Company valuation +100b!

why the fuck does my wife call you so many things? what does your wife call me?

Are you an AI shilling piece of shit or are you just a confused tech bro that thinks this shit is cool?

@Wisecrack Unfortunately I'm a pure pseudointellectual and had trouble understanding the papers as-is. You can clone and play around with my code if you're interested though!

@Wisecrack yes but in evolutionary algos, (hopefully) the distribution is closer to the minima.

I've used another article (that I had to steal because it wasn't free) plus plenty of ChatGPT (only for the tangentially-related math such as gaussian distribution) to implement JADE and have gotten extremely good results. The code is pushed to the repo.

Only a few more things to do before I'm completely done with this for now, the next big one is parallelization.

@JsonBoa yup. A search doesn’t have mutations, nor does it experience evolutionary pressure.

My JADE simulation does.

@JsonBoa Because I'm loyal to my roots and humans didn't come from any parallelized grid search, boy 😡😡😡

@wisecrack I'm starting with these two:

Improvements of Real Coded Genetic Algorithms Based on Differential Operators Preventing the Premature Convergence

A Comparative Study of Common Nature-Inspired Algorithms for Continuous Function Optimization

You know what? I remember my days with Java fondly. I might revisit it soon just as a little treat.

Welcome back (my account is still older, HA).

Considering devRant is closing doors soon, I’d like to check out your new community! Who knows, maybe a subset of it could be a space for developers like devRant was.

No reason for 7 :) unless there is.... :)

@Wisecrack In English, four-eyes!!!!!!

@Wisecrack can you do n=7 for p and q? What value of n realistically maxes your runtime?

@Wisecrack Nice! It does in fact appear twice in that list. Are you able to determine the entire numbers for p and q or just the first few digits?

@Lensflare Lol, a good reason why c is one of the easiest languages to obfuscate. It just lets you do shit.

c++ is harder to obfuscate for one simple reason: you need to understand it to obfuscate it.

@Lensflare Correct. I'm hardly sure it matters except for in very specific cases, which is what VLA is trying to solve.

Small?: Allocate a fixed size array on the stack.

Large?: Allocate dynamic memory from the heap.

Unknown?: You can try a VLA.
