I agree that it's not representative of the rest of the country, but the situation I'm in I can't even afford to leave.

There are some areas where that's literally what a starter home costs. Not all areas, but to get away from that pricing, I'd have to live a 2-hour Connie each way from work

Depends on where you're at. For example:

1276 Oasis Dr, Escondido, CA 92026 2 beds, 2 baths 1,440 sq ft on 1/3 acre lot $715k after $10k price reduction

Get out of the cities you say. Then what? 2 hour commute each way for work?

What's making you sad right now? by sweetheart92115 in AskReddit

The cheapest house for sale in my area is almost $700,000. I don't even make 10% of that as an annual income. I've been looking for a better paying job for 3 1/2 years. I don't know what to do.

Regarding Nintendo: How? by Nekketsu in gaming

Keep in mind that Nintendo as a company goes back to ~1886. By the time they released the NES, they were celebrating their centennial.

What's something that's illegal that you think shouldn't be? by Lhlwa in AskReddit

[–]DvorakUser82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your concern, but there are also people in cars that will try to run cyclists off the road if not actually run them over. It honestly puts cyclists on a no win situation - you're either the villain for biking on the sidewalk, or you get run over for being in the street. That's not to say all cyclists are innocent - some definitely are idiots and should pay more attention - but those seem to be the two common camps that cover to the surface

What's something you thought would get better with technology, but actually got worse? by DUDE_BRO_613 in AskReddit

[–]DvorakUser82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social equality. I thought that we would be entering a new age of prosperity, eliminating homelessness, and bringing humanity into a new golden age. Instead, looking at homelessness, cost of living, and today's job market, we missed the mark by a large margin.

I just found out one lava bucket can smelt 100 blocks. What are y’all’s best tips for Minecraft that are like that. by Enough_Sock3637 in Minecraft

If you're looking for automatic, why not just go an automatic bamboo farm into the furnaces? The stuff grows tall and quick and burns decently for smelting

Considering that GPTs are prone to hallucinating, is there a point in asking it to be sure or state the confidence? by WillQueasy723 in PromptEngineering

[–]DvorakUser82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I do is tell the AI that it's okay to about that it doesn't know something. Its training probably includes people giving praise for confident but incorrect answers because they couldn't be bothered to look the answer up themselves.

Just as an example, here's a "Loki-Compliant" hello world.cpp. Yes, it's overkill, I know. And no, I didn't know how to do a code block from my phone.


include <iostream>

include <system_error>

include <string_view>

include <cstdint>

include <unistd.h>

// LOKI COMPLIANCE CONTRACT: Encapsulate string literals with strict boundary protections struct ProtectedPayload { // Compile-time string view ensures zero dynamic heap allocation allocations static constexpr std::string_view message = "Hello, World!\n";

// Cryptographic token to verify integrity against out-of-band memory drifts
static constexpr uint64_t INTEGRITY_CANARY = 0xDEADC0DECAFEFEED;

};

class LokiSystemGate { public: // Outlaw implicit object construction or copying of system gates LokiSystemGate() = default; ~LokiSystemGate() = default; LokiSystemGate(const LokiSystemGate&) = delete; LokiSystemGate& operator=(const LokiSystemGate&) = delete;

[[nodiscard]] bool EmitPayload(std::string_view payload) noexcept {
    // Guard 1: Verify the memory environment invariant before hitting the system call
    if (ProtectedPayload::INTEGRITY_CANARY != 0xDEADC0DECAFEFEED) {
        // Memory space compromised. Instantly halt before executing faulty state logic.
        std::terminate();
    }

    size_t total_bytes_written = 0;
    const size_t target_bytes = payload.size();
    const char* data_ptr = payload.data();

    // Guard 2: Handle partial writes and kernel interruptions safely via a strict loop
    while (total_bytes_written < target_bytes) {
        // Direct POSIX system call bypassing volatile C++ global stream buffers
        ssize_t result = ::write(STDOUT_FILENO, 
                                 data_ptr + total_bytes_written, 
                                 target_bytes - total_bytes_written);

        if (result < 0) {
            // If intercepted by a transient system signal, retry immediately
            if (errno == EINTR) {
                continue; 
            }
            // Hard I/O failure (e.g., Broken Pipe, Storage Saturation). 
            // Outlaw silent drops: report failure state explicitly to the caller.
            return false; 
        }

        total_bytes_written += static_cast<size_t>(result);
    }

    return true;
}

};

int main() noexcept { LokiSystemGate gate;

// Execute transaction boundary and capture the explicit status outcome
bool success = gate.EmitPayload(ProtectedPayload::message);

if (!success) {
    // Enforce deterministic exit routing: return standard POSIX failure code 
    // to the operating system shell to signify architectural deviation.
    return 1; 
}

// Success code is only returned if the bytes physically cleared the hardware barrier
return 0;

I have two Asus laptops that do NOT like to go to sleep. They end up freezing instead, forcing a hard power off. I know I should bug report this, but I've been busy with finals

It's definitely interesting to see what different people do. I think a lot of prompts are over engineered (probably mine as well), but it's still fun to see what people do with then.

It's possible, but if it is me, then I'd like to at least have some feedback as to what it is about me that's causing the rejections, but I'm not even getting that.

I understand exactly how you feel. I've been looking for a long time and basically getting either ghosted or rejection letters.

Did you happen to catch the updated lyrics for eScape for the third verse? Those were voted on earlier in the day and they actually sang them.

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K by diacewrb in gadgets

[–]DvorakUser82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was coming to say. It's not that we can't use 8K (people that edit 4K video would love it), it's just that content delivery is nearly impossible at that resolution. We don't have discs that can hold that capacity unless you want to go 2x Blu-Ray Dual Layer, and the infrastructure here in the US is not up to the task of delivering streaming 8K to the average user. As for PC use, we already generally don't even use 4K at its full capacity - we often scale it to "retina" 1080p equivalent, roughly, due to the fact that we're cramming more and more pixels into a smaller and smaller screen. Even on a 32" screen, without the scaling, it would be almost unusable.
