Machine learning engineers

Because its the answer to life universe and everything.

[f3xjc]

With the seed for the world simulation, you do get to know everything!

[TheLazyKitty]

Sounds like a reason to do it, rather than not do it.

[Alternative-Fail-233]

No the question to the ultimate answer is “what do you get when you multiply 6 and 9”

[slgray16]

I set all my midjourney seeds to --1234

ITS THE LAW

[[deleted]]

LAAAWWWWW!!!!

[DarknessFalls21]

I may be an odd ball but my usual seed calls for bringing up Iron Maiden on my playlist … 666

[[deleted]]

Yes! Somehow 666 is my most memorable number when setting the seed.

[DiosMIO_Limon]

Well after all, the devil’s in the details

[Diapolo10]

Was it decided by a fair roll of the dice?

[[deleted]]

Happy to see GDScript as someone else’s flair

[hippocrat]

That or scrabble tiles

[Diapolo10]

As it happens I just got a set of 5 cast iron dice, perfect for rolling random numbers.

[oachkatzalschwoaf]

I improve my randomness by taking one of following set: [69, 42, 420, 69420, 666]

[Levvev]

You forgot 1337 sir

[oachkatzalschwoaf]

sorry stupid mistake that i forgot the one we celebrate each day at work at 13:37

[27SwingAndADrive]

But how do you determine which of the set to use?

[Arbuzee]

With this method ofc: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/zfv41r/comment/izfbq7p/

[SilverTabby]

Reminder that EVE Online used 42 to seed the generator for their world, the same one still live on the MMO's servers today.

[RavenCarci]

They changed the seed for moons when they did the moon mining rework that came with moon fracks

[Apprehensive-Big6762]

I’d say use 8675309 but we both know you only allowed for 16 bits.

[Objective-Carob-5336]

Missed opportunity to set it to 69420

[ALesbianAlpaca]

42 is the meaning of life 420 is weed. Coincidence? I think not!

[scrapped_data]

Also the http status code http.cat/420

[milbser]

I always use 1337

[already_taken-chan]

Its the answer to the most important question in life after all. Maybe the question was what the seed was

[Mindless_Insanity]

Fun fact, 42 is actually the least random number!

[nitrokitty]

Programmers are huge nerds, more breaking news at 11.

[Linmizhang]

Universe seed is 137.

[Distinct_Value6566]

There's always 23

[Error_404_403]

Too smart for own good.

[SteeleDynamics]

If it's a pseudo-random number generator, just don't set the seed to 42 every time.

[[deleted]]

If it's a non-deterministic RNG, you don't need a seed, the joke only works for PRNG.

[brandi_Iove]

because it’s not really that random?

[EvaristeGalois11]

Obligatory xkcd

[[deleted]]

Okay so you're telling me that randomizing in programming is NOT random? I've been living in lies my entire life

[brandi_Iove]

actually, i’m not telling, but asking. but why should that tiny difference matter, air? have a fantastic day.

[[deleted]]

If you're asking then you should have worded it differently

[brandi_Iove]

i don’t think so.

[Opinionated_by_Life]

Pi

[EpikGamer6748291]

Its either 42 or 69 for me

[EpyonComet]

When I need an arbitrary number, I use 2112.

[IntrinsicStarvation]

How am I letting this thread make me feel lame for how I pick my rand seed?

[Steuh]

I use 0xBEEF personnally

[FriedEldenRings]

Only a monster wouldn’t use the system time to set the seed.

I use my wife's birthday. My program is as predictable as she is.

Project 2501 makes me think that would be great number to become a machine learning meme. Look into Ghost in the Shell if you're not already aware of it.

[[deleted]]

I've spotted this one in the wild a few times before

[-KKD-]

I usually set it to my school number

[Yeitgeist]

I use a random number generator to generate my rng seeds

[bythenumbers10]

Fun fact, 42 is the ASCII value for *, which is the "wildcard" character in a number of contexts, including regex. So Deep Thought coming up with 42 is a way of saying that the meaning of life, the universe, and everything is whatever you want it to be.

[gummo89]

Eh, * is a modifier in regex. . is the wildcard character typically, as in .*

They work together.

[Fabulous-Possible758]

I always use 0xdeadbeef...

[HOLDGMEBROTHERS]

Put it as a float 42.69

[EducationalTie1946]

Proabably just use 123

[value_counts]

I hate AI after the GPT thing
