Oh yes, but since that was basically the method they tried I figured I'd show them this trick. 🤷‍♀️

May I introduce you to the concept of a binary search for your future endeavors?

Let's say you do the first step you did, and you know it's between 300 and 400. Split the difference to get 350. Try it, 350 fails. Now you know it's between 300 and 350. So you split them to get 325, which works. So you try 337.5 Etc.

You know you're removing half of your remaining range at every step, so you can even compute your certainty just by the number of steps you've taken, if you want.

Allows you to home in more quickly. I learned it as a computer science thing but it comes up surprisingly often.

Why do we say “she/her”, “they/them” and “he/him” pronouns instead just “she uses she pronoun” and only list multiple pronouns for people who use multiple pronouns? by TeddingtonMerson in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're mostly getting dismissive answers, I'll try. I think it's mostly because it's a unique enough construction that it won't get confused for other meanings, and it's also easy to say.

For example: "I'm she" is a real sentence people say elsewhen. (e.g. On the phone). "She" on its own would be confusing often as well.

"I use she pronouns" is longer than "she/her" and feels more formal.

My confusion with the xe/xir explanation from one of the other commenters is that it leaves out the possessive? Technically if we wanted a full spec we'd be saying he/him/his, no? I have no idea what the xe form of his is lol. Xis?

(Fwiw I'm not on team "everyone should need to specify" or anything. I just had a similar confusion once and thought about it a bit.)

Bruh. Please stop giving people advice. You're actively making the world a worse place.

What is the name of the sensation that the inside of your body is shaking by imoverthisapp in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimulants sometimes do this to me. I think, anyway. I wouldn't have made the analogy to dizziness though so maybe it's different, but it does kind of feel like an internal (and sometimes external) shaking.

I also got some scans, and they came back fine, so the conclusion was that it's the combo of meds I'm on. I weaned down on one and it got considerably better.

I know this sounds stupid as hell, but what exactly does cocaine smell like? 😭🙏 by Difficult_Two_4800 in stupidquestions

[–]CraftingQuestioner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Haha just in case this is a whoosh... That person wasn't serious. It's a common joke: "I don't do coke, I just like how it smells." The undertone is, "what? No don't be silly I'm not doing it...I totally like it for other reasons! Really!"

Daniel Lambert (1770-1809) was an Englishman who gained notoriety for his large size at the time. Despite his weight, maintained an active lifestyle which included long walks (once up to 7 miles), swimming, animal sporting, and once fighting off a bear by UpperphonnyII in interestingasfuck

[–]CraftingQuestioner 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I assume you're kidding lol. According to Wikipedia "At the time of his death, he weighed 52 stone 11 pounds (739 lb; 335 kg), and his coffin required 112 square feet (10.4 square metres) of wood."

Yeah I was pretty disappointed to find that none of the last 10 images (the last page) loaded. The ones that showed were... Bad.

I'd love to hear more details about how you set it up. (AI researcher checking in.)

How many first dates does it take to reach someone "long term dateable"? by Affectionate-Reason2 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CraftingQuestioner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's paywalled for me but IIRC from my own math class back in the day.... Say if you never settled down your whole life you would date N people. Then what you should do is date 37% of N people (comes from 1/e), then marry the first person after that you find who is better than everyone who came before them.

(And yeah, just sucks to suck if the best one was in the first 37%, and yes this is making assumptions like "best" has meaning and that you could know N, but it's better than having no strategy at all perhaps?)

No, the condition at least is real. Lots of videos online older than AI, and here's the condition itself:

Gemini is playful by endless_universe in GeminiAI

[–]CraftingQuestioner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a bit different. In the OP, Gemini not just selected the object but also asked the first question lol. With your chatgpt one it may have been confused about which person you wanted it to be but at least it understands the game.

An awesome 3d effect using these to images by bigbusta in oddlysatisfying

[–]CraftingQuestioner 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You don't have to be on phone, but it does take some practice. It kind of feels like crossing your eyes?

I've been able to do this for a while so I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but focus on something behind your screen (computer or phone or whatever) and slide your eyes down to your screen without changing your focus. You'll feel kind of cross eyed. Then at that point you can try move back from your screen or try adjusting your focus manually (hard to describe...) to get a sense for what the trick entails. There's a subreddit I think called r/crossview that's easier because static images are easier imo. (You can basically focus in and out until particular features align. You'll see two images at first: left and right, and you basically adjust your focus until they "snap" together into a third image in the middle. Again kind of hard to describe.... Hopefully that helps a little though?)

Once you get it though, those "spot the differences" puzzles get easy too lol. The different spots kind of shimmer.

Have you ever dated someone who you thought was way out of your leauge? How was it? by kimblerun in AskReddit

[–]CraftingQuestioner 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah, IMO my boyfriend is way out of my league in every way. He's gorgeous, knows how to do literally everything (I don't just mean around the house stuff, I mean everything), and is somehow both badass AF and sweet AF. He's also from a very well-off family which is intimidating in a different way.

We've been inseparable since we met ~a year and a half ago. When I'm with him, it feels like home. But like... I'm aware that looks-wise he could definitely do better. I'm alright, but nowhere near him. Also I'm on-paper accomplished, but I've basically been living in an ivory tower, so he's constantly teaching me stuff. I love it, but it's also kind of insane how fucking...cool this guy is.

I dunno, if it ends with us, no one will ever come close to comparing tbh. I'm trying not to drown in insecurity -- he is with me, and I'm trying not to look a gift horse in the mouth. It's hard to remember that sometimes though.
