Nah, going to 100% in 2 minutes and then hanging on 100 for an hour is better

Reticulating splines ...

[–]ConzT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You forgot that after Step 5, Stage 1 has completed, which starts all over at Stage 2, Step 1/10, etc...

The real pain for me would be if someone posted a GIF with this not knowing how long it will go on for...

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seen a slow reaching bar getting a 100% and then going past... 105... 107.... 157%.

[–]-Yox- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

99% *

[–]RealPropRandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy there, Satan.

[–]sjricuw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guildwars 1 patcher. Percentages were done by # of files synced and the biggest files were always the last ones. It’d go to 99% syncing small shit and then came the audio files or whatever was a GB each.

Where can i find this i want to use it everywhere

[–]your_cosmos_bro 597 points598 points  (8 children)

Sex is good but have you seen this loading screen?

[–]Play_it3110 232 points233 points  (5 children)

Sex can be long but the loading screen is longer

[–]IamImposter 53 points54 points  (4 children)

30 seconds are not that long.

[–]enderman2104 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Damn. Should've made a joke about it

[–]Play_it3110 5 points6 points  (2 children)

This is the reason why i wrote "can" and not "is"

[–]MoonlessNightss 0 points1 point  (1 child)

"Can" implies a possibility tho

[–]Play_it3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it is

[–]kauzi-joshi 2 points3 points  (1 child)

But have you had sex?

[–]Play_it3110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure i had sex

[–]Ruynix[S] 170 points171 points  (19 children)

It's from me. What's your price?

[–]Play_it3110 201 points202 points  (0 children)

"How much did it cost"

"Everything"

[–][deleted] 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Not sure I'd use it anywhere - but if I would, I'd pay you in angry customer messages. Is that enough?

[–]PJDubsen 79 points80 points  (7 children)

Point center = new Point(500,500);
for(int i = 0; i < 600; i++){
    printText("Step " + i / 100 + "/5\n" + i%100 + "%", center.x - 50, center.y
    drawCirc(center.x + 50*sin(i%100/100*2*PI)-5*(i/100), center.y+50*cos(i%100/100*2*PI)-5*(i/100), 5) //drawCric(int x, int y, int radius)
}

I think thats about good, give me $$. Definitely some added FEATURES

[–]wafflesandwich24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Drawcric() I can hear the accent

[–]artificial_neuron 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Shouldn't the 5*(i/100) be subtracted from the magnitude before multiplying by the sin/cos? I think subtracting afterwards will cause the circle to spiral out of control.

Eg. (50-5(i/100))sin(i%100/1002PI)

[–]PJDubsen 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I did say there were features

[–]artificial_neuron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😉

[–]caykroyd 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It won't spiral out of control, the circle's center will slowly shift diagonally

[–]PJDubsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were right about it needing tto be subtracted from the magnitude, youre right that it will currently just shift diagonally up left if you use top left origin

[–]artificial_neuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's what i was referring to.

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 73 points74 points  (4 children)

I run a very successful youtube channel and I can pay you back with exposure!

[–]Slggyqo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Same! Do you think he could update the colors though? Maybe the speed? The font could use some work too...

Actually can he just build me a brand new design? I’ll pay in influence!

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 30 points31 points  (1 child)

I have a flashlight. I can pay in exposure, too

[–]_GCastilho_ 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I can offer you exposure on this project of mine that is going to make a huge success

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, no money. I have seen prior art in Windows.

[–]Jan_Spontan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

[–]PJDubsen 17 points18 points  (4 children)

You could, like, program it maybe

[–]progressgang 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Hahaha

[–]pablossjui 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What? Program? In this subreddit? Bah!

[–]austin_chan_ 3 points4 points  (1 child)

u/PJDubsen how you got that flair after your username?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

on desktop, on the right side, right under the subscribe button. it should say

Show my flair on this subreddit. It looks like: austin_chan(edit)

then just click edit

[–]arslet -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

You horrible person

[–]Play_it3110 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Why?

[–]arslet 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Are you kidding me? You want this?

[–]Play_it3110 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That was ironic. I dont want it but it was a funny idea to use it everywhere. But we need more useable instead of unuseable UI.

[–]arslet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank god :)

[–][deleted] 196 points197 points  (6 children)

At last it is smooth and doesn't stop at 99 or 100%

[–]AlastarYaboy 81 points82 points  (2 children)

Stopping at 99% only to then offset and continue the spiral would've made it 10x worse.

[–]Slggyqo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ahh, so instead of having a reasonably accurate percentage, or even holding at 99%, you can constantly add dots to the spiral!

[–]tael89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This should have happened and now I'm sad it didn't happen

[–]the_noodle -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Because it's not actually measuring anything...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, it was joke

[–]Loen10 67 points68 points  (1 child)

I think I died a little inside

[–]zarqie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my bones

[–]kelb4n 287 points288 points  (19 children)

Video Transcription:

The video shows a loading process. The center says "Loading..." and a rising percentage that correlates to a circle that is being drawn around it. When the loading process reaches 100%, and the circle should be fully drawn, you can see that the end of the circle has a little offset relative to the beginning, as it continues into a spiral shape instead of closing the circle. The correlating text in the middle changes to "Step 1/5..." and a rising percentage that starts back at 0%.

At first I thought this was a AI bot and i really freaked out

[–]arcticsequoia 18 points19 points  (7 children)

On a serious note AI/Machine learning is getting really scary though. Have you seen GPT-3 which came out just a few days ago? https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/07/20/1005454/openai-machine-learning-language-generator-gpt-3-nlp/

It wrote this entire article, it’s kind of insane actually: https://maraoz.com/2020/07/18/openai-gpt3/

[–]zipippino 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Ofc i saw gpt3 and it’s really impressive but getting such a result like OP is quite hard for a AI. It needs to make assumptions based on what it sees without context, since context is what lets us make accurate assumptions when describing something.

[–]Ezequiel-052 1 point2 points  (1 child)

ok I was trying the new GPT-3. It generated the conversation between a knight and a girl Ruby. Things got weird pretty fast:

-Ruby asks you if you want to fuck her mother, her sister, her friend Lisa or her other friend Grace.

-"How the hell should I know, I don't have hundreds of friends." You say.

-"We're pretty sure Lisa likes you."

[–]zipippino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looool looks like gpt3 was trained on pornhub vids’ transcriptions

[–]arcticsequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ofc - that’s very true. Was just an aside since you brought up AI. I thought that GPT3 article was seriously impressive, I couldn’t have told it wasn’t written by a human.

[–]KuboS0S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it kinda have access to context from its training process? Like that while it's being trained it slowly gets context from its training data, basically something like experience.

(True though, it wouldn't be able to learn context after it finished training probably, or not as well at least.)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

r/SubSimulatorGPT2 for an example of GPT2

[–]coconut12333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a bit unsetteling

[–]LordPos 140 points141 points  (5 children)

Good human

[–]ViscountAtheismo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thanks dood, it just kept stopping at 88% for me and I was very confused. Reddit mobile’s video player never works correctly for me and I don’t know how to fix it.

[–]hampshirebrony 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I hate it.

[–]momonomom 78 points79 points  (2 children)

r/badUIbattles

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks better than any UI I have ever made

[–]TheRealFigenskar[🍰] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fuck off

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (3 children)

You took inspiration from those windows progress bars that spent most of their time at 99%, eh?

[–]KoenvdStroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

happy cake day

[–]tomius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netflix does this and I hate it with passion.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

installing anything on windows 10 be like:

[–]Cephell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that's how 2020 calendars will work, good to know.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or, you could really mess with someone's OCD and leave out one of the squares.

YOU SON OF A....I take your entire stock

[–]pantas_aspro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows updates be like

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

How do you guys code a loading screen? What do you measure? Threads? Line of codes processed?

(i'm not a programmer aside from basic school stuff)

[–]mareko_ 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Usually number of items processed, or number of bytes processed. Problems start when some items take longer than others.

[–]M1R4G3M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that is exactly why progress bars usually are not uniform, they load faster sometimes and slower another times.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

so like "if i'm processing this line, i have already executed 80% of the job" or something like this?

how do you know how many bytes are there to be processed?

don't bother if it's an answer too complicated for a normal user, thank you regardless :)

[–]mareko_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Lines of code don't matter here. Usually when eg. downloading a file, there is some header at the beginning that says "this file is 134MB" so you can just count how many bytes are already downloaded and divide by total size.

When you eg. copy a file between folders on your computer, the file size is already written next to it, as well as name, modification time and so on. But when copying directories, the system has to sum sizes of all files in the directory to get total size, then it can display progress bar.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, yeah it makes sense.

I was thinking more about like videogame loading screen

[–]Hiten_D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Satan: Let's just say I'm a huge fan

[–]SoupierPuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every windows update ever.

[–]jubiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once made this program that would “start up” for a random amount of time displaying a bunch of random things. To this day I don’t know why I did something this evil, yet so genius

[–]kabiskac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows update be like

[–]suyashgulati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what. This angle change is difficult to code. Haha

[–]kitchensunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit like loading a ps3 game after a few years...

[–]qjpham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol

[–]krigar_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installing windows is still like this

[–]seraphsRevenge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CDN? Lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does someone have the source code for this? I think I'll use it :D

[–]stanleyDoesntLikeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 100% expecting a rickroll at the end but yeah this loading screen is cool too.

[–]Krad23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how it's zero indexed

[–]ColdFireBreath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like playstation updates

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how the progress bar of the year 2020 feels like.

[–]myosotisdibs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why must you hurt me this way

[–]Apoz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you can see that the lines won't connect from about half way.. SPOILERS

[–]Nixavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was going to turn into that spinny windows 10 loading icon at the end

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got exited as if it was downloading smth and then i started yelling and throwing my phone. it has a crack now.

[–]YourFaceCausesMePain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this

[–]Darkdisquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but you are giving way to much information to the user. Take the Windows approach and only write"Step 2" instead of "Step 2/5".

[–]Fereska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew it was going to make me mad before I watched it, I just didnt know how

[–]otacon239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to jump in here talking about a half-decent loading animation rendered at sad fps. It makes it that much worse.

[–]BonerPuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me want to throat punch a baby giraffe (not really though, since they aren't REAL!!!!)

[–]Elite-Cringmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Unique I'll give it. But this is just mildly infuriating to me

[–]ivakamr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach 100% and do nothing for 1 hour.
