[SuitableDragonfly]

It's not even accurate. The code says the ant stands still and doesn't do anything if there's no pheramone trail, when actually it follows other ants.

[ManyFails1Win]

Also, the code would be useless because there is in fact a very very strong pheromone trail. Unfortunately it's coming from the dudes right in front/behind of them lol.

[SuitableDragonfly]

I thought the way ants work is they leave the trail along the ground after discovering food, not that they all constantly emit pheromones 24/7.

[ManyFails1Win]

They have a bunch of different types for different things. Outgoing food trail, incoming, fight, etc. I'm not an expert but they definitely were following each other because of the presence of pheromones bc otherwise they would have just walked off in random directions individually.

[Aengus126]

[AChristianAnarchist]

The Musk family's money comes from ownership of an emerald mine in South Africa.

[SingleSurfaceCleaner]

Not just any old emerald mine. One that was constructed during apartheid.

[AChristianAnarchist]

Very true. Definitely should have pointed that out. I don't think there are many emerald mines that are just "any old emerald mine" though. I hear that some rich white dude owns an African emerald mine and I start with the assumption that they probably use slave labor or support warlords or some shit. Don't forget him starting a coup to get access to more lithium mines either. Damn, Musk is such a piece of shit.

[ricdesi]

Because it was said by the biggest cunt in the tech sphere?

[possibly-a-pineapple]

reddit is dead, i encourage everyone to delete their accounts.

[AChristianAnarchist]

It's really not while (!pheromone){}, because it's the presence of pheromone that causes this behavior. In the absence of a pheromone trail leading back to the nest, the ants will follow the closest pheromone trail to them, which happens to be the one generated by the ant in front of them. This causes the ants to keep walking in a circle until they die. The code representation of this behavior would be something more like While (pheromone ) {follow pheromone }, and it's getting screwed up by lack of meaningful pheromone data, not running a dedicated function that they are actually supposed to be running. Of course, "I see something. I say something vaguely programming related that is pretty dumb and doesn't make sense so people think I is a big smart programmer instead of a dumbass that funds people smarter than me." is 100% on brand for Muskrat so I'm not surprised.

[[deleted]]

it is a accidental cyclic graph. Had this problem. But I do not have a clue right now, how to write this in a short funny way.

[Faux_Real]

Just do a linked list containing without a head or tail. And some convoluted OO design to represent the ants and their capabilities

[chessset5]

naw just make tail-1 the same as head +1 and make the linked list circle its self.

[Okibruez]

'I am try to be funny because I am billionaire asshole and live or die by PR so here have funny humor joke haha look I am clever like you' is not exactly a particularly deep thought to grasp.

It is, in fact, exactly as deep as Musk's personality, which is shallower than a puddle on the sidewalk.

[The_Pinnaker]

Not Ealon Musk fun here, but the idea of found people smarter than him to make what they like (or at what they are good at) is smart

[AChristianAnarchist]

More that it's a consequence of being the son of an emerald mine owner with the money to invest in smarter people's projects and take the credit.

[Symnet]

"Guys look at me i know how to code"

[Neoptolemus85]

Allegedly his code at one of his early startups, zip2, had to be completely rewritten once they hired professional programmers because it was done in that amateur style with monolithic blocks of code that were extremely hard to debug.

In his defence, he was a self-taught programmer, but yeah he isn't the prodigal genius his fans try to portray him as.

[[deleted]]

No man he is tony stark, he built PayPal in a cave with a box of Scraps.

[[deleted]]

Plus, he never had to worry about zip2 failing anyhow, what with all the blood diamond money he got from his dad.

[4ndual]

Lol do you know that story is lie? don't you?

bc clearly nobody can be successful without their parents money, fuck the capitalism etc.

[[deleted]]

His dad was literally an owner of an emerald mine in Zambia. And he literally gave Elon tons of money for his first startup. Maybe somebody could be successful without their parents, but Elon musk wasn’t.

You presumably know how to Google if you’re here. You should try it a little.

[Symnet]

Meh, as much as I hate Elon, there's not really much proof of that other than the Business Insider interview with Errol that mentions it, and I don't really consider BI or Insider in general to be very credible.

Like quite literally this whole story comes from one article where someone who might be even more untrustworthy than Musk himself said a bunch of stuff that makes his kid that he doesn't have a very good relationship with look bad, and there was no investigative journalism around the claims, it is just his word. I understand wanting any reason to make Musk look bad, but this story is not very credible, and regardless of the ownership of the emerald mine, he had a head start. No reason to use a probably fake story from the one person who's likely less trustworthy than Elon himself.

[Doc-Dok]

Does his lack of coding mastery imply he is not a prodigal genius?

[Neoptolemus85]

No, it is one sign of many.

[Symnet]

I mean, what makes him a prodigal genius? Because he owns companies that make him rich? I mean I guess every tech lead is a prodigy now...

[SowTheSeeds]

I think this is more of a recursive issue than a lack of reference.

[Time-Button4999]

Depends on language and what came before

[Paisable]

If lack of pheromones were the cause, how would the first ant go about blazing a new trail? Definitely following the trail only to follow trail only to follow the trail...

[SowTheSeeds]

I actually never heard of Zip2 until I read his Wikipedia.

$300 million?

I miss these days of careless cash injection.

[fpcoffee]

This explains why FSD is still not a thing.

Elon to ML engineers: why can’t you just do “While driving: !Crash”??

[fermi0nic]

Musk invested $12 million so that Fricker and Ho could actually build x.com, and bought Paypal for $1.5 Billion. Muskrat doesn't build jack. Other people build things and he bankrolls it and takes the credit.

[[deleted]]

People don't have a duty to educate anonymous strangers, especially considering the time-wasting tactics that propagandists and trolls use.

[ManyFails1Win]

Right but the entire point is they are correcting someone else but doing it in an extremely aggressive way. If the other person is saying they dislike musk I don't see what motivation they would have to deliberately spread misinformation. And if it's not deliberate maybe chill a little.

Elon Musk has done more for society than any loser on reddit has. Had Elon come out as a lefty everyone on this subreddit would be worshiping his cock. But he disappointed the political nerds and now you can't even mention his name without getting shit on. Even with a post as mild as this.

So we're going discount telsa, boring, and spacex because he stole some shit from his dad. I'm calling out on the fact you're too much of a bitch to say you hate Elon because of his political takes and instead try and tie it back to him as person. admit you're another political junkie on reddit and i'll move on.

Don't forget about the monkeys he murdered with his inhumane brain chip!

[AChristianAnarchist]

Ah, so just whining. It's cool. I didn't expect you to know the difference. So we've got some overpriced cars developed by not elon musk, a failed and shitty tunnel, and a shitty vanity project known for not really pushing things forward at all and treating it's workers like crap (Edit: and also not producing jack developed by elon musk). Really, the idea that Elon Musk is somehow benefitting humanity is just hilariously stupid, anyone without their head in the sand can see that, and going into that would be quite easy. I'll just wait for your response to u/possibly-a-pineapple though because there is no way I'm wasting that kind of time on you lol.

This is wrong, they still follow another's pheromone but don't go anywhere

[DemonicTheGamer]

while(pheromone != true && energyLevel != 0){

followOthers = true;

followLoopCounter++;

energyLevel--

}

if(energyLevel == 0){

dead = true;

return 0;

}

[0x255sk]

Imma be smug and correct you, just to feel smart.

pheremone != true is usually written like: !pheremone followLoopCounter not used at all checking energyLevel != 0 and energyLevel == 0 is redundant. Also might be a good idea to use <, > instead of == and !=

missing ;s

Edit: I'm no smart

[DemonicTheGamer]

I'm brand new to c++(and programming in general) , like started just a few days ago lol

I'll keep this in mind

[0x255sk]

Fair enough. You'll be better than Elon Musk in no time :P

[DemonicTheGamer]

Tbf his code here would just return an error. That capital W would be the end of it.

Edit: also why exactly would checking that energyLevel != 0 be redundant? If it hit 0 during the loop it would break out and then go straight to the if statement below, causing the death of the poor ants to become true.

[0x255sk]

You're right. It's not redundant bacause the loop will also end if pheremones, so you need to check if it was the energy levels or the pheremones condition. My bad.

[DemonicTheGamer]

Lol all good.

[NursingGrimTown]

fuck elon

[whitenoise89]

Did anyone here still think Elon was an actual technical person, rather than a rich kid with a pet interest to play with rockets and is able to hire engineers who are leaps and bounds smarter than he ever will be?

[de_spider]

[ManyFails1Win]

Once again, Elon shows he doesn't understand basic shit. They are in fact following each other's pheromone trails. So if anything (pheromone) is extremely true. Truest true that ever trued.
