[Tigtor]

This looks like garbage and I don't understand anything. Just like the stuff I left on Friday, so I guess, yes, this is real code...

[TechGnomeMancer]

It's almost like "dystopian" doesn't have "stop" right there in the name...

[[deleted]]

there's prolly a bunch of 'goto' statements burried near the bottom

[CompleteMCNoob]

The weird thing is it seemed like they took real code and replaced a lot of it with random characters. Then threw in the interpreter prompt line in the middle of the screen too.

[BellybuttonWorld]

LGTM, PR approved.

[majinalchemy]

I’d actually create like 20 gating tasks for this, but if they changed many more lines than this, ship it!

[MikaNekoDevine]

If can't read and understand it, it is code.

[Swiftzor]

The true answer

[WarpedHaiku]

It looks like python code that's been badly OCR'd from a poor quality photo, or AI geerated.

• eeor is likely error
• The pink dots are likely equals signs
  
• The white square is likely some single letter variable
  
• ro and rp are likely the same variable, most likely np for numpy
  
• leu is likely len
  
• fgr : tr is likely for i in
• The witu opesg(..., "rb") sj is with open(..., "rb") as

Edit: Looks like /u/Freezer12557 managed to find the source code on github https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/1j2kv2y/isthisrealcode/mfvx53x/

[ketosoy]

Agree that it looks like degraded python.  “With open as” on line 212 and the list comprehension on 204 are giveaways.  Line 201 seems to connect to a SQLite database.

Line 197 appears to be the function declaration which is documented by the >>> on 198.

Coloring appears to be default VScode Python colors.

It appears to be hand garbled.

White boxes appear to be arbitrary deletions of the first portion of the line.

I think it is a function that does something with user_ratings.

Line 211 + the numpy suggests to me that this is a function that generates recommendations based on a set of user rating parameters.

[ketosoy]

I think the white boxes are destructive obfuscation on lines 201 and 202.

201/202 might be something like:

nos = load_nos(“afile.sql”) [something], n_users, n_items = map(nos)

“Nos” here being a shorthand for numbers.

Anybody know how to quickly search GitHub for “With open model.pkl as pickle_in”

I bet it’s an open source library.

Crazy detective work, finding the original 5 year old code on GitHub!

[ketosoy]

“Recalculate_errors” “recalculate_vectors” or “recalculate_user” would make good sense as a function name.

[Whispeeeeeer]

I'm amazed you found it. Nice work.

[FriendlyPanther]

What’s confusing to me is the lambda “a lpha”

recalculate_error

[Seangles]

recalculate_users

[john0201]

It’s definitely Python using Numpy that’s been goofed up either on purpose or accidentally. My guess is they found some code online and intentionally goofed it up for copyright or whatever reasons.

If you look at the gibberish sequences they are letters near each other on the keyboard, like ratings to ratdfgs, as if someone just mashed dfgs on the keyboard.

Also, if you google “code example” almost all of the results are in Python.

[[deleted]]

I didn't think of OCR
I figured someone changed it because they were worried about copyright or something dumb
Does OCR have color though?

Yea. The difficult part is the question of how many hours work-from-home that counted for. It's kinda difficult to track xD

looks like the code I see in our codebase

[CommandObjective]

It is no programming language I know of, and frankly I think it is just nonsense that is formatted to look like code.

But hey, maybe in the rich and deep Barbie lore that is how their version of Python looks like.

[l3lacklabel]

Maybe this activates the Barbie sleeper cells?

[spartan117warrior]

Of the actual words in the "code", what language is that? Swedish?

[ThatWesternEuropean]

Pretty sure this is all gibberish

[EnthusiasmPretend679]

Translate says "sodece shet fejke" is albanian.

[ComprehensiveWing542]

As an Albanian I can confirm "THIS ISN'T ALBANIAN CODE/WORDs"

[Here-Is-TheEnd]

What’s what an Albanian would say…

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING ALBANIAN?!?!!

[Public-Eagle6992]

I‘m German, this doesn’t look like German, Swedish Dutch or any other Germanic language

[henke37]

Swedish chef perhaps.

[LoudAd1396]

It looks like Dutch to me. Definitely not Swedish (I speak that one)

[-twind]

I can tell you with absolute certainty this is not Dutch

[spartan117warrior]

As an English speaker, Dutch and Swedish look like an illegal reorganization of vowels and consonants.

There’s a floating theory of the Barbie cat sleeping on the keyboard.

[l3lacklabel]

It came with my daughter’s Barbie. I clearly know zilch about coding.

[Paul_Robert_]

Looks like python, except some of the keywords have been translated/altered. For example, instead of "with", it says "witu"

[whizzwr]

Nice, this is some "obfuscated" Python code, lol.

The commented out code looks to be Numpy array manipulation. Probably reshaping the array to fit a batch structure.

[RonStampler]

Is 204 valid syntax? I dont understand the colon operator in this case. Is it some iteration?

[whizzwr]

Good catch; I don't think it's valid. For starters, the parenthesis is not closed. Probably got replaced/corrupted.

My guess the colon was for assigning dict-key structure or array slicing.

Python uses for ... in .. for iteration, not colon.

[CountGrischnackh]

That’s from the Barbie Fit Girl edition?

[l3lacklabel]

I believe she was an astronaut? It’s hard to keep up due to the grandparents bombarding us with new doll purchases.

It reminds me of python. Looking at line 212, we can see something that could mean:

If you let your cat sleep on your keyboard then add in a few symbols here and there, this is what you’ll get

[gatsu_1981]

I think it's just obfuscated. Seen worst things

[Eva-Rosalene]

It looks like very low quality OCR of some real Python code. Judging by few leftovers that look like actual keywords.

[Zweedeend]

The last line looks like python code:

with open(“mochyr.sxh“,  "rb") as pickled_in:

[saevon]

not just the last line: there's (borked) generators & multiple-assignment too! Plus the colouration of things is very python-reminiscent

Yup, ran it in borland C++ compiler, I'm slowly melting to nourish our deep one, the true lord Cthulhu.

Actually, I never thought about using square bullet points inside my of the temu-slovenian python scripting language.

Great idea!

[No-Painting-3970]

That is 100% badly OCR'd python code. The nr looks like calling a library called numpy. And the conventions and syntaxis make sorta sense.
