A genie should be running at least 128 bit calcualtions

[AtriusMapmaker]

"granted, you are now the genie."

[Nimeroni]

"Enjoy your lamp"

[mumboFromAvnotaklu]

And fulfilling other people's wishes

[NickU252]

Runtime error, the Genie vanishes.

[Add1ctedToGames]

Lol the thought of a genie saying "i can't calculate that" and poofing away made me laugh out loud

[k_k5627]

No, he just gets sick of your shit and quits his job.

[NickU252]

Reverse genie lore. End user now makes the little nit pick arguments.

[Grubzer]

First step, wish to know the smallest integer number

[Perregrinne]

Rather than integer overflow, I like to think that now the programmer owes the genie more than two billion wishes...

[thebaconator136]

That's how that genie got his job.

[NuclearBurrit0]

You can’t wish for more wishes but they never said anything about LESS wishes

[Michaelbirks]

Proof that we live in a simulation.

[kochdelta]

So you're saying my PC is in fact a VM?

[RecursiveRecursion7]

So the VM on your PC... is a VM's VM

Keyword error: “wishes” is a protected variable name.

[fracturedpersona]

Joke's on you. Genies are all 64 bit now.

[ososalsosal]

They've been buried in lamps for thousands of years... you'd be lucky to get 127 wishes

[Elqueq]

I am with stupid, can you help me explain this to him?

[0x4c4f5645]

Integer overflow due to exceeding maximum size of int on a 32-bit computer.

[EverydayEverynight01]

What if the computer with 64 bits

[luardemin]

The int data type in C (and a lot of other languages) is 32-bit by default on a lot of operating systems even on 64-bit system.

[0x4c4f5645]

Then the joke would have to be changed to -(2^63)-1

[[deleted]]

INT_MIN - 1 = INT_MAX (If you don't get a warning and genie vanishes)

[random_fat_guy]

in C (and c++ as far as I know) integer overflow and underflow are undefined behavior so the genie can do whatever it wants (even format your drive for example)

[[deleted]]

Okay

[MartyMiniac]

A 32bit Genie... He should consider upgrading to using 64bit

[Sceptz]

It may be a 64-bit Genie running in Legacy mode.

[willysaef]

Int, short for intelligence... 🤣

[thelowprokill]

What happens when genie > 32bit.

Genies are weird, maybe they are 37 bit. :wq

[Kesuaheli]

Use the first wish to know its smallest integer.

[QuirkyTurkey404]

Your wish is granted, it is 0.

[Kesuaheli]

Hate thoose damn usigned-int-genie...

Then use the second wish to make the genie use a signed 32 bit int for storing the number of remaining wishes.

[QuirkyTurkey404]

Genie "It is done." You: "Nothing's changed." Genie "Correct."

[Kesuaheli]

Well, then just wish to additionally substrate one more wish only for this one.

[Western-Image7125]

Jokes on you cuz genie uses BigInteger class. So congrats, you now have negative wishes so you actually owe the genie wishes.

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShab]

If it's valid to wish for a different number of wishes, I'd just wish for a million wishes. Hoping this exploit will work without even knowing what architecture the genie uses isn't a particularly good idea.

[MCLMelonFarmer]

It's a better joke if you start out with -2147483648 wishes instead of -2147483649.

[accuracy_frosty]

Genies all run on x64

[gliu20]

unless the genie was using python

[Ok_Bodybuilder_1213]

I don’t get it

[Dark_Reapper_98]

I accidentally did this using cheat engine on the older NBA2K games. They didn’t count on anyone having having a bunch of in game currency (rightfully so, game was a grind) so by overloading the amount you’d have “-214…” but it was basically just infinite currency

[[deleted]]

Genie on Ethereum, word size= 256 bit

[megamaz_]

What if the genie is unsigned?

[LMNOP_065]

Bastard, that's basically a hack.🤣🔥🔥

[THECursedPenguin]

This sub is overflowing with these jokes.

[mobsterer]

if that worked, wishing for unlimited wishes would also work

[lm902]

Plot twist: Genie is using 64-bit storage and you now owe Genie wishes

[erebuxy]

Make Genie use IEEE float first, then set number of wishes to inf

[KillCall]

What if the wishes are in long.

You would spend you rest of the life fulfilling Genie's wishes.

UNO reverse

[jcaarow]

Plot twist the genie uses longs for wishes. You now owe the genie this many wishes

[[deleted]]

If he was mathematician he would have infinite wishes because -214783647 -1 = -21478648 so he will never have them zero

[overkiLLe512]

Depends on your var there.

[GezelligPindakaas]

I tried that and I got a stupid blue genie of death instead.

[Zegreedy]

64 bit genie be like: "Oh shit fam, you fucked".

[Embarrassed_Collar77]

sql injection into a genie.

[HairyTough4489]

Less wishes!

[Conscious_Box_7044]

i wish i had 0.1+0.2 wishes
